Chapter 3
Back home, my parents already knew about my union with Jared.
Their hearts, tense for months because of the hospital issue, finally relaxed.
They actively prepared the wedding with the Larson family while discussing how to exchange benefits.
The day before Jeremia's wedding, Talia came to see me.
Her face was full of happiness, yet she seemed uneasy the moment she saw me. "Sofia, I was stunned by Jeremia's confession that day and didn’t get a chance to speak up for you.
"I really like Jeremia, and he said he would give me the best life."
She paused for a moment and softly advised me, "I heard Jared is hard to get along with. He probably chose to marry you to take over your family's hospital. I think you should reconsider."
I looked at her, pretending to care for me, and sneered inwardly.
Before marriage, Talia was indeed my best friend. But after, she became the one who loved to mock me the most.
In my previous life, she also said Jeremia didn’t like me and advised me to marry someone I loved.
When I was tormented by Jeremia, she smiled and said to me, "See, I told you so, but you didn't listen. Since you can't have children, why not let Jeremia marry someone else? Then you can raise their child without going through the pain of childbirth."
I thought, "Talia, I hope that after experiencing everything I went through in my past life, you can still think this way."
She eagerly anticipated a grand wedding, hoping to bask in the glory.
But to her surprise, Jeremia had no intention of hosting a grand wedding; it was even downright shabby.
He only invited close relatives, set up a few flower arrangements, hired an officiant for a simple ceremony, and called it a wedding, leaving Talia so upset that she cried in grievance.
Jeremia comforted her, saying Daniel disliked extravagance and promised to make it up to her with a grand banquet once she had a child.
I heard it and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
In New York, Talia's family could never reach high society.
After Jeremia was reborn, he chose her as his marriage partner because she had given birth to three medical geniuses in her previous life.
But he cared about his pride and felt marrying a woman whose background didn't match his was reason enough not to hold a grand wedding.
