My Husband Said His Student Was More Important Than His Pregnant Wife Until I Asked for Divorce novel Chapter 30

Chapter 1

On the day of my wedding to Declan Hawke, his female best friend showed up in a wedding gown, insisting they film a prank video.

I watched the entire spectacle unfold from the live feed backstage.

Mila Blake and Declan drank from the same cup and kissed in front of their friends and family.

The officiant, Jared Thomas, who was a childhood friend of both, held the microphone and kept the atmosphere lively.

“So, when are we going to welcome the real bride up here, Declan?” he joked, his voice echoing through the hall. “If you keep her waiting much longer, she might just start crying.”

Declan swirled his glass, a confident smile playing on his lips.

“Let’s just enjoy ourselves,” he replied breezily. “She can’t live without me. I’ll smooth things over with her

later.”

I turned off the live stream and pushed the mobile display covered in a cloth into the banquet hall.

The entire room fell silent.

“Mr. Hawke, Ms. Blake,” my voice cut through the quiet, calm and clear. “Congratulations on your wedding.

This is my gift to you.”

I pulled off the cloth, revealing the design sketches inside.

This was originally meant to be a wedding gift to Declan’s company, the Spring Couture collection.

In front of all the guests, I tore up the sketches.

“I hereby announce that the partnership between the Hayes Group and Hawke Enterprises is officially

terminated. All collaborations are nullified, and from this moment, we have no further dealings with Hawkes.”

From this moment on, I would make them understand that what they had destroyed was the final lifeline of

Hawke Enterprises.

“And now, groom, you may kiss the bride!” Jared, quick to react, spoke with a mischievous tone that echoed

across the hall.

Declan smiled and planted a kiss on Mila’s hand.

Chapter 1

Declan’s mother suddenly took off an emerald bracelet from her wrist and placed it on Mila’s. “You’re such a thoughtful child. Thank you for being so considerate.”

That bracelet was a family heirloom, meant for her daughter-in-law.

Last month, Declan’s mother had handed it to me, asking me to wear it on the wedding day.

I had refused, saying it was too precious and that I might ruin it, but in reality, I wanted to save it for the most important moment.

Now, it was on Mila’s wrist, accentuating the smoothness of her skin.

Mila gasped. “Mrs. Hawke, this is far too precious…”

“Wear it, it’s yours now.” Mrs. Hawke said firmly, pressing Mila’s hand gently, her gaze full of affection. “I’ll pick out something new for Selena later.”

All the guests at the table watched the exchange, their expressions a mixture of understanding, curiosity, and unspoken thoughts..

Someone teased, “Mrs. Hawke, since you’re so fond of Mila, why not just have Declan marry her in the first

place?”

Declan’s father laughed loudly. “If Mila ever married into our family, my wife would be smiling in her sleep!”

Mila’s face flushed as she hid behind Declan, who smiled and stood in front of her.

“Mom, Dad, stop saying nonsense. I’ve never seen Mila as a woman. This life, I only want to marry Selena!”

His words sounded so convincing.

I glanced down at the watch on my wrist.

The ceremony had been delayed by forty-four minutes, yet no one had asked where the bride was.

My phone screen lit up with a message from Declan, sent five minutes ago,

[Selena, Mila just gets carried away when she’s having fun. Don’t take it to heart.]

[I’ll get them to restart the proper wedding ceremony right now.]
