Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Chapter 13

Juliet’s voice trembled with tears as she gazed at Brantley’s slender figure. The next moment, tears streamed down her delicate face.

Brantley stopped, his back facing Juliet. “It’d be better if we never met again!”

His cold, heartless voice made Juliet sob even harder. She wished there was a pill to erase her feelings. She’d take it in a heartbeat to escape this endless and exhausting love. But no such cure existed, and despite everything, she couldn’t stop loving him

After leaving the restroom. Mikayla was about to find Juliet. However, a sudden stomachache forced her to take a break. It was the first day of her period, and she always had cramps on that day. She knew it would pass, but right now, it was tough. She wondered if she could make it through the wedding.

“Can I have a glass of warm water with lemon, please?” Mikayla asked a passing server as she found a place to sit.

“Yes, ma’am. One moment!” the server replied..

Not far away, Brantley walked out alone. Mikayla sighed, knowing that Juliet must be crying again. ‘It’s nothing short of a curse for Juliet to cross paths with Brantley, Mikayla thought.

Just then, a glass of warm water with lemon was placed on the glass table next to her.

“Thank you.” Mikayla said, reaching for the water. The warmth spread from her fingertips through her body. Just as she was about to take a sip, she realized the person beside her hadn’t left and was watching her intently. She looked up and unexpectedly locked eyes with a deep, intense gaze.

“Why are you here? Didn’t you say you’d be back in two days? Mikayla exclaimed in surprise.

“The issue was resolved in advance, Carlos replied, not mentioning he had pulled an all–nighter to return sooner.

Carlos was dressed in a well–tailored black suit custom–made in lugrea, which perfectly complemented his extraordinary temperament and handsome facial features. Mikayla couldn’t help but be mesmerized. She didn’t consider herself someone who focused on looks, but whenever she saw Carlos, she found herself completely captivated.

“Are you feeling unwell?” Carlos asked. As soon as he arrived, he quickly spotted her among the crowd and observed her actions

Mikayla smiled awkwardly, thinking, ‘How can I tell a guy about thy period cramps? Why do I always have to be like this. when I see him?”

“I think I ate something bad. I’ll feel better after resting, she replied.

“Then, I’ll stay with you, Carlos said.

Just then, Mikayla saw Hugo, Garrett Ludwig, the chairman of Ludwig Group, and the groom, Jaxon, approaching them.

“It’s been many years since I last saw Carlos. Today’s Jaxon’s wedding, and he’s back, flugo said enthusiastically.

“He’s here just to share in the joy of the wedding, Garrett replied humbly.

When they got close. Hugo took the lead and said, “Carlos, it’s been a while. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Mr. Hugo Lindstrom! It’s been a long time.” Carlos stood up, his eyes distant and his voice detached.

Mikayla stood up too and greeted, “Mr. Hugo Lindstrom, Mr. Ludwig

“Haha! Garrett, I didn’t expect Carlos to become more and more like you!” Hugo laughed, patting

on the shoulder. Then, he turned to Mikayla and said, “Mikayla, even though you and Jaxon broke up, you’re always welcome at the Lindstrom residence. Queenie and I would love to have you over

Though his words seemed friendly, Mikayla found them rather ld. It felt like he was reminding Carlos she and Jaxon had

odd. been in a relationship before.

For quite some time, she hadn’t been fond of the Lindstrom family. Hugo always seemed to enjoy belittling others. Whenever their families dined together, Hugo seemed to revel in exerting his dominance, leaving her feeling an invisible pressure. Her family always seemed to be the underdogs around them. Looking back now, she couldn’t believe how much she had made her parents suffer because of Jaxon,

“Carlos, do you have time for a drink?” Hugo asked, oblivious to the sudden chill on Carlos‘ face.

Seeing the scene, Mikayla couldn’t help but think, ‘Is the arrogant Hugo trying to suck up to Carlos? But didn’t Carlos disappear after going to that secret training at the military base! Why is Hugo trying so hard to please him?”
