Married at First Sight
“Dad, give up on this idea. You’ll grow old and pass away naturally, but you won’t starve— I won’t let that happen.”
Kathryn turned to the housekeeper, who had just stepped outside.
“Send a couple of people to remove him. Make sure he doesn’t block my way.”
She had no intention of wasting any more time on her father.
What belonged to Pedro was hers. And what belonged to her? Still hers. If her father thought he could get her money, he was dreaming.
“Kathryn, if you don’t give me money, I curse your marriage to be miserable!” Zheng Hua shouted as the housekeeper’s men forced him away.
Kathryn’s expression remained cold. “Don’t worry. My marriage with Pedro will be far happier than yours was with my mother.”
Zheng Hua froze, his face twisting in anger and humiliation.
Meanwhile, Kathryn and Pedro got into their car and drove off without looking back.
Watching them disappear into the distance, Zheng Hua muttered bitterly to himself, “The biggest mistake of my life was marrying your mother and having an unfilial daughter like you.”
But no amount of regret could change the past. There was no medicine for remorse, no way to turn back time. All he could do was live with the consequences of his choices.
Preparing for the Wedding
After Kathryn and Pedro obtained their marriage certificate, they immediately started planning their wedding.
Once the date was set, the couple flew to Dongguan with their wedding invitations.
When they arrived in Wancheng, they found out it was the full-month celebration of Shen Xiaojun’s son.
Time passed so quickly.
It felt like just yesterday when Shen Xiaojun was born, and now, in the blink of an eye, she was already a month old.
However, since Kathryn and Pedro hadn’t received an invitation from the Su family, it wouldn’t be appropriate for them to attend the celebration. Instead, they waited at the Shang family’s residence for Audrey, who was attending the banquet, to return.
The Shang family’s housekeeper called Audrey to inform her.
Understanding the situation, Audrey remained calm and simply replied, “I know.” “Aunt, what’s wrong?”
Haitong, who was sitting next to Audrey, noticed her aunt’s unusual reaction and asked with concern.
Meanwhile, Shen Xiaojun had already finished her postpartum confinement, and Haitong was also nearing the end of her pregnancy.
Lately, Zhan Yin had been sleeping poorly—not because of insomnia, but because he was too afraid to sleep too deeply.
He worried that Haitong might go into labor in the middle of the night and he wouldn’t wake up in time.
Every time she so much as turned over in bed, he would anxiously ask if she was okay, afraid she might give birth early, just like Shen Xiaojun had.
Audrey snapped out of her thoughts and said, “Kathryn is here. She’s waiting at my house.”
Haitong nodded. “My sister told me that Kathryn and Pedro have already registered their marriage and are now preparing for the wedding. They’re probably here to deliver invitations.”
She knew she wouldn’t be able to attend Kathryn’s wedding.
The date was too close to her own due date.
Her sister had told her she would attend on their behalf—drop off a wedding gift, have a couple of drinks, and then rush back to Wancheng.
By that time, Haitong would be about to give birth, and her sister didn’t want to leave her alone. It was her first child, and both she and her sister were nervous.
Audrey’s expression softened as she spoke. “Your sister mentioned this to me on the phone a while ago. I told her that if Kathryn and Pedro really wanted to invite me, they should come in person instead of sending the message through your sister.”
Audrey was usually reserved, but when it came to her beloved niece, she was always gentle.
Shang Xiaofei often joked that ever since their mother found her long-lost nieces, she—the biological daughter—had been pushed to the side.
“They’re probably here to give me an invitation this time,” Audrey added.
Haitong looked at her expectantly. “Auntie, will you be able to come and have a couple of drinks at the wedding?”
