I Fell for the Man Who Ruined Me, Then He Forgot He Ever Loved Me Back novel Chapter 389

In reality.

Jorrod's analysis was entirely flawless.

When Liam Carter received the wedding invitation from Jorrod, a brief flicker of hope actually sparked in his chest.

Ever since being fired from Stellaris Corp, he hadn't held a real job. No one in the design industry dared to hire him, leaving him to scrape by taking on scattered freelance commissions, which were agonizingly few and far between.

His father wanted him to take a factory job for a while to transition, but he refused to stoop to that.

He knew he had raw talent. Once this whole scandal blew over, he could easily stage a comeback, and when that day came, he could proudly and openly pursue Sienna again to win her back.

But two years had passed, and his life was just as stagnant as ever.

Until he received Jorrod's wedding invitation.

He genuinely thought it was an acknowledgment of his skills, but when he opened it, he found three glaring words stamped in the bride's slot.

Sienna Quinn.

All those baffling mysteries from the past flashed through his mind at lightning speed.

Jorrod's inexplicable hostility toward him, and the fiercely protective way he hovered over Sienna.

It turned out all the signs had been there from the start.

If he hadn't done what he did back then, Jorrod and Sienna might never have even had the chance to cross paths.

And today, the two people standing at the altar could have been them...

His left hand clenched into a tight fist by his side. It took a long time before he finally let go, his palm slick with cold sweat. His shoulders trembled as a bitter laugh escaped his lips, the turbulent emotions in his heart completely plunging into a dead, icy silence.

...

Jorrod pulled a prepared necklace from his pocket and carefully fastened it around Sienna's neck.

Sienna thought it looked incredibly familiar.

The cool touch of the metal awakened her memories, and she suddenly realized this was the exact same piece from the commercial shoot she had done a while back.

She asked him about it.

Jorrod denied it. "It's a completely new design made just for you."

The jade set inside had been replaced by a priceless, extraordinarily rare gem Jorrod had kept in his private collection for years. It was similar, yet entirely unique. Every single detail had been handcrafted by him personally, every millimeter forged with his blood, sweat, and absolute devotion.

It truly was a perfect match.

In the mirror, the stark, empty expanse of her pale neck was instantly illuminated by the luminous splash of translucent green.

Watching her, a subtle flicker passed through Jorrod's eyes. He turned his head and pressed a gentle kiss against her cheek.

Sienna mercilessly batted him away. "I've got makeup on, no kissing today."
