Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 275

Chapter 275

The night hung over Rosewood Manor like a fog that wouldn't disperse.

Ophelia sat on the shaggy carpet, hugging her knees. Since she returned, she'd either sleep on the chaise lounge where Kenneth often sat or sit by the floor-to-ceiling window with her knees hugged. She didn't dare sleep on the bed. Without Kenneth, it was freezing cold.

Half asleep, she dreamed of Kenneth building an amusement park for her and kissing her under a carousel.

But suddenly, he disappeared without a trace. She woke up abruptly, startled from her sleep. Everything felt like a dream, yet it was not a dream...

She got up before dawn. She heard that getting a marriage license was a big deal, so she dressed up carefully: wearing a white shirt and light jeans, with a touch of makeup to cover her fatigue.

Coming downstairs, Lisa had already prepared breakfast. She quickly ate breakfast and then drove to the city hall. Sunlight gleamed on the plaque at the entrance. Several young couples were lined up at the door, their faces radiating happiness. Some girls even wore veils, all dressed in white shirts and white dresses.

The boys' faces were both nervous and expectant, looking lost like children.

Ophelia thought, 'Will Kenneth be like that? Probably not, who is that guy, and why will he have such an expression?

Ophelia sat in the car, leaning back in her seat, watching as the city hall opened, and they all rushed in.

Not long after, pairs of newlyweds came out holding their marriage licenses.

The first thing they did was hold the licenses in front of their chests, lean their heads together in sync, and take a photo.

Ophelia couldn't help but smile as she was infected by their joy. But as time went by, she watched couple after couple leave. Her heart grew heavier.

Although she had already guessed that Kenneth wouldn't come, she couldn't help but hope. Maybe he would show up after all.
