I was momentarily stunned.
“Oh, right! I forgot that Bradley’s uncle has the same last name as him,” I thought.
Although I had prepared myself mentally, I instinctively held my breath upon receiving the scornful look from Bradley. Then, I took a deep breath to calm myself down.
“The person I’m marrying isn’t you.”
Bradley’s friends burst into fits of laughter before I could finish. They patted Bradley’s shoulders.
“Bradley, your fiancée is hilarious!”
“You should tell her not to use such a lame excuse. She’ll only make a fool of herself.”
Bradley felt extremely humiliated. His expression darkened.
“Julia, that’s enough! You’ve been saying almost every single day that you want to marry me. Now, you’re trying to get my attention by claiming that you’re marrying someone else. How repulsive!”
He looked down at me condescendingly. Suddenly, Bradley snickered, leaned forward, and whispered next to my ear.
“Julia Sanderson, I’ll give you the status that you want. However, I won’t ever proceed with the marriage registration with you, and I will never acknowledge you as my spouse.”
A look of surprise flashed in my eyes. In my previous life, Bradley had never expressed these thoughts before.
“Could it be…” I pondered.
Before I could process everything, I noticed how Bradley’s eyes shone with excitement. I followed his gaze and spotted my younger sister, Jenna Sanderson.
Jenna’s eyes turned red when she saw me and Bradley standing side by side. “Bradley, I’ve heard of the news… I… I wish the two of you happiness…”
She trailed off, buried her face in her hands, and cried miserably.
Bradley shot me a glare. “Julia, this is all your fault! You disgust me!”
As I came to my senses, Bradley hurried over and threw his arms around Jenna.
