The day of the Wolfe–Monroe wedding, the elite of Northgate were gathered.
In the bustling banquet hall, the hall shimmered under the lights, filled with chatter, clinking glasses, and the scent of expensive wine.
Despite being a sham wedding, the Wolfe Family had made it incredibly extravagant.
Many uninformed guests considered it a genuine wedding, lamenting Charlotte’s perseverance, finally marrying into the Wolfe Family thanks to her children.
When these words reached Sebastian’s ears, he was somewhat displeased, but there was

But his parents had vehemently insisted that he marry Charlotte.
As the two sides reached an impasse, Charlotte stepped in, saying she’d lived in the Wolfe Family for pregnant again right after her postpartum recovery to bear a son for them.

Therefore, Sebastian, who hadn’t intended to put much effort into the wedding, invested a considerable number of resources.
Hoping to make amends for his guilt.
The thought of leaving with Evelyn after the wedding thrilled Sebastian
He was well aware of all that Evelyn had endured this past year–for the sake of their future.
That’s why Sebastian hadn’t told her about leaving immediately after the wedding, intending it as a surprise.
After they’d established their own lives, Sebastian vowed to love her well to compensate her.
He had even planned their future children’s upbringing.
Just then, Butler Harris knocked on Sebastian’s door.
“Mr. Wolfe, the wedding is about to begin; please prepare yourself.”
Sebastian responded and stood before the mirror, carefully putting on his suit jacket, buttoning it meticulously to the top.
He took a deep breath, composed his expression, and walked toward the banquet hall.
The entire wedding venue was lavishly adorned with flowers.

Sebastian walked onto the flower–lined aisle towards the stage, receiving continuous congratulations from guests. At the front of the stage, he saw Charles and Eleanor’s satisfied smiles.
Then, accompanied by a melodious piano piece, he watched as the large doors slowly opened, Charlotte, in a white wedding dress, gracefully walking toward him, arm–in–arm with her father.
Sebastian knew he should smile and welcome his bride.
But Sebastian couldn’t manage a smile; his mind was filled with Evelyn’s image,

Was she watching his wedding to another woman on the news, or hiding in a corner, silently crying?

Either scenario left Sebastian breathless with suppressed emotions.
Because it was a sham wedding, many steps were skipped, leading directly to the climax of the ring exchange.
The solemn voice of the officiant reached Sebastian’s ears, but he remained motionless.
“Please have the groom place the ring on the bride.”
The officiant’s voice rang out again, as if a hand of fate pulled Sebastian’s wandering thoughts back.

Sebastian looked down at the diamond ring offered by Butler. It lay on a velvet cushion, reflecting countless dazzling lights under the crystal chandeliers, each beam like a cold needle pricking at Sebastian’s eyes.
He reached out, his fingertips trembling slightly. As he was about to touch the cold metal, a strange burning sensation suddenly surged from the base of his ring finger, sharp and intense, like an electric current, or the touch of invisible flames–phantom pain.
The sudden pain almost made him retract his hand. A distant yet clear voice, choked with sobs, echoed in his ears.
“Are you really going to marry her? Then what about me? What am I?”
