Shush & Marry Me

Chapter 003 See You at the Wedding!

Although Bryan didn’t mention ‘his’ name, listening to ‘his’ news that was broadcasted by the radio anchor, and listening about it from the people around her felt completely different. She couldn’t avoid it anymore and had to face this fact, even though it was the reason for her to come all the way back.

Seeing that she didn’t speak, Bryan lowered his voice, and coaxed her carefully, “Come home, Vic. He’s the one that should be gone, not you. it’s just a break-up and you won’t die because of it. You have gone wandering around without any prospect for a year. You’ve gone through all hardships all alone. Girl, I’ve told you six years ago. He’s nothing and he isn’t worthy of you at all!”

Her head was buzzing and she couldn’t hear what Bryan was talking about. She only remembered that it had been six years. Victoria has liked Frank for six years since she was eighteen.

But now Frank is going to marry her cousin, Ashley. Not only that, but this marriage had also been blessed by the whole family. Ashley and he are meant to be. It seemed that the six years of her and Frank was just a joke of her wishful thinking. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

With Victoria’s fiery temper, how could she be calm and be completely indifferent?

It’s impossible.

It was impossible after she wandered around for a year. Even after she wanders around for ten years, it will also still be impossible. It’s impossible in her lifetime.

She pressed her lips then interrupted Bryan’s chattering, “I will attend his wedding. I won’t avoid it anymore.”

“Really?” Bryan raised his voice out of excitement over there, “Are you going to make a scene at the wedding, Vic? Do you need a partner? I am available anytime and whatever you want to do, I’ll accompany you.”

Victoria didn’t answer him, and only asked, “Do you know when they’ll register their marriage? Are they holding the wedding first or registering their marriage first?”

Bryan coughed, “I’m not clear about that as well. I’ve never asked about it. You know, I’m actually not interested in that scum Frank. I’ll follow up and let you know again, Vic.”

“Okay” Victoria wasn’t courteous toward him. As childhood friends that grew up together, she had never been courteous with Bryan and always accepted his advice and suggestion.

After hanging up the phone, there was no commotion from Bryan anymore and the whole room suddenly became quiet. Victoria held her phone for a long time and was in a daze.

It was also on a midsummer night. She once leaned against Frank’s back while looking at the starry sky. She held his neck and thought, “Frank, I’m about to graduate soon. Let’s register our marriage at the Qixi Festival next year. I think that day is particularly beautiful. It’s much more romantic than 2.14.”

Frank held her up with his hands behind his back while calmly walking step by step and replied gently, “Okay, it’s up to you. Let’s register our marriage by Qixi Festival next year, then.”

“Frankie, you’re really kind.” She hugged him tighter. She snuggled her head around his neck, kissed his face, and said happily, “I think, I’m a genius. Although Frankie is perfect, this Vicky can easily deceive him to make me his wife. This feeling is even better than hitting a jackpot.”

Frank smiled and looked back at her. His eyes were full of stars and her, “I’m not that good.”

But in the end, after several months, he broke up with her. He’s breaking up with her thoroughly and clearly. He said that he only thought about his future after he graduated and still felt that they’re not suitable. There’s no need to continue to waste their time on each other. They also couldn’t avoid the curse of breaking up after graduation.

After that, the thing became worse. Victoria didn’t have a chance to breathe and she was kicked out of her life because of her love and career, and she left Jincheng in confusion.

Actually, she didn’t need Bryan to confirm, she could do it by herself.

As she held the tears in her eyes, she dialed a number that she knew very well. The phone rang three times before the line got connected.

But none of them were speaking on the phone, nor did one of them hung up. That person was waiting for her to speak first. He must’ve known that it was her.

Victoria’s vision suddenly became blurry. She resisted her sob and spoke as calmly as possible, “Senior, you’re about to get married. Why didn’t you send me an invitation? I’m currently out of town and I found out from my classmate. Your ex-girlfriend is still a friend and there’s no need to be so stiff.”

She spoke with a lively tone as if she had got out of that sad memory long ago. She could even criticize and blame his manner for not remembering an old friend.

The man on the phone finally spoke, “Vicky, if you want an invitation, I’ll ask your sixth sister to prepare a copy tomorrow. Grandpa said, it’s no need to waste the invitation for our family. Auntie has known about it.”

As she heard that person’s usual gentle voice, calling her with the nickname that they used before, calling his grandfather ‘grandpa’, calling her mother ‘auntie’, and saying that both of them are family, the smile on Victoria’s face slowly disappeared. She began to tremble completely. She didn’t speak for a long time with her face full of tears.

The man that she loves, is about to marry her cousin. He could easily and naturally tell her about the wedding that had nothing to do with her. They are family, but he is not hers. He doesn’t belong to Victoria.

“Frank” She called him, there’s no more relaxed and strong smile of hers. She threw away her pride and morality. She let herself fall in front of him, as she begged him over the phone, “Don’t marry her. Tell me, what did I do wrong? I can change it. I’ll change everything that you dislike. Don’t break up with me. Don’t throw me away.”

Frank is Victoria’s dream. He’s someone that she wanted to marry when she first learned about love. Compared to her fear of losing him, her pride and morality didn’t seem to be important anymore. She even spoke carelessly to the point where she spoke viciously, “What’s good about her? She’s not as pretty as me. She can’t even walk. Frank, she’s crippled. What’s so good about her?”

Yes, she’s vicious. She didn’t hesitate to use bad words to nitpick her sister that she grew up with.

“it’s enough.” Frank called out with his low voice and interrupted her, “She’s your sister and she’ll be my wife. Use your words carefully.”

From affection to separation to spitting bad words, how could she be carefree about the break-up? Frank, who had never spoken harshly to her, called her out strictly and angrily because of her new wife.

“I understand.” After a long time, Victoria chuckled and wiped her tears away. There were no more despair and pleading in her tone and even sounded a bit scornful and furious, “That’s right. I’m unsophisticated since I was young. Ever since I knew you, I’ve been hiding my true face. I don’t except that sixth brother-in-law would find out so soon. Well, congratulations. See you at the wedding.”

She sneered and hung up the phone without waiting for Frank to say another word.

“Knock, knock”

After saying cruel words, with an empty heart, Victoria couldn’t think of any countermeasure. There was a knocking sound on the door and ended after three times.

Victoria remembered that she walked in when she’s on the phone. The door wasn’t locked. She didn’t know if the landlady came here at this time, so she wiped her face again, and stood up as she planned to open the door.

Before she could reach the door, the wooden door was slammed with a kick. The man that only wore underpants was shoved in vigorously and struck Victoria who was caught off guard in an instant, then pushed her against the wall.

Victoria’s face was forced to stick up to the man's neck and a mocking voice came from the man’s back, “You dare to save someone that our boss planned to kidnap. The landlady said that you’re quite capable. You’re a nurse, right? Brothers, come inside and have fun.”
