Chapter 4
My mother passed away when I was twelve years old. She made the last wedding dress by herself, but she couldn’t guess my size when I grew up, so she modified it many times along the way.
Finally, we had no choice but to add adjustable zippers to both the chest and waist
This was the last gift my mother left me
Even this wedding dress, I almost couldn’t keep it.
The same year when mom passed away, dad brought home a little girl.
He said that this was the child of his old comrade, named Carolina.
His comrade entrusted him with the child on his deathbed.
“Joey, Sienna, this will be your little sister from now on. You must get along well with her, understood?”
I thought, I knew, but Carolina clearly didn’t know…
Thave never, n
never seen such a child.
She was gritting her teeth and snatching the doll from my hand one second, and the next second she could burst into tears in front of Joey and Brayden. Do people subconsciously sympathize and trust the weak?
I was not sure. I only knew that at first, the balance in my heart was leaning towards the two people who were with me, but it slowly shifted towards Carolina.
“Sienna, you couldn’t do this! Carolina has lost her parents, how putin!
“Yeah, Sienna, you should have been more considerate towards Carolina. You have Joey and me, but Carolina has nothing.”
I can no longer remember how many times I had a big argument with them.
The outcome of every argument was always concluded with them angrily reproaching me, “You don’t have even a fraction of Carolina’s gentleness and loveliness.”
Gradually, I didn’t even want to argue anymore.
However, such compromises made Carolina… more and more excessive.
When I saw her dragging that white wedding dress up the stairs, I instantly lost my temper.
The first time, I laid hands on her
“Joey, don’t scold Sienna. It was Carolina who made Sierra unhappy, and Slemma only hit me because of that. It was my own fault that I deserved to be hith
I still remember Joey’s gaz
He said, “Sienna, I never thought you would be so malicious!”
“Carolina had never spent such beautiful clothes before, but she just wanted to have a look. How could you be so cruel!”
I was so angry that my hands were shaking, and 1 argued loudly with Joey
The noise brought Dad over as well
He looked at Carolina, whose face was full of tears, and carefully comforted her, saying, “Carolina, don’t cry. Daddy will find someone to make you an even more beautiful princess dress, okay?”
After he had comforted Carolina, he turned around and only then did he realize that I was still standing there, instantly feeling embarrassed on his face,
“Cough, cough, alright, alright, I’ll make one for Sienna too, okay?”
I watched him and Joey carefully wiping away Carolina’s tears, and finally realized, belatedly, that… It seemed like I was the outsider.
I didn’t want a new princess dress, and even that wedding dress, I carefully hid it in a locked wardrobe. It was on that day that I suddenly realized, in this world, there was no one who loved me anymore…..
“Sienna, we have arrived. Let me accompany you inside so that little slut won’t bully you again!”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wedding Dress that Ruined Everything
Ch 50 Beginning of 4th Short story. Only 1 page. Incomplete. Summary from reading elsewhere: The world’s perfect couple. Husband is famous CEO who deals in jewelry and designed signature pieces for his beloved and doted on wife. To the world, and to her, they are they perfect loving couple, until she finds out he is having an affair with his Secretary. I can’t remember if it was a physical one or emotional (I can’t recall the correct name for it) one. Long story short, since she told him when she first agreed to be with him that if he ever betrayed her she would disappear from his world, she staged her suicide whilst exposing his affair (I think he also made custom designs for that woman or let her wear his signature piece for her) to the world. She moved abroad and opened a flower shop or something. He eventually finds her but I think she had quietly started dating someone else. Trying not to mix up stories. End the end, she doesn’t go back, he is miserable and regrets, I think he works himself to death, dies early and leaves everything to her....
Ch 49 End of Short Story 3. Too Late to Regret, I’ll call it. I like that she didn’t change her mind and she had valid points because even after realizing Carina’s presence and neediness and his catering to her ruined his family, he still hasn’t sent her packing. He could have had another friend hire her as a Secretary after regaining all the memories, but even after losing his wife and son behind his dealings with her and neglect of his wife and how he started to see her, he still indulged this woman and kept her on. I don’t like how the child isn’t mentioned in the end or how Wayne ended up in the end....
Ch 48 Oh, I like how this went. They both remain the same age but their circumstances changed… well hers did, and they just popped into the life they would have had. But that means theirs a child somewhere without parents but with his memories intact of who his parents were supposed to be since they kept their bodies....
Ch 47 Nope. No need....
Ch 46 Well that took long enough…...
Ch 45 Was it a voice recording or video?...
If the changes he made back then affect her now, why aren’t these feelings she’s invoking in him reflecting in the current Wayne?...
H 43, so… he asked his wife about a gift box for a gift that belongs to his not lover on their anniversary? He doesn’t find it odd that she knew where it was and since it was pink she would think it was for her? He thinks she needs him so he can do whatever he wants. I’m already not liking her thinking to make him change their past to fix their future. Leave him. He had the opportunity to do things right the first 7 sevens and correct mistakes in the last 5 with Carina....
Ch 25 End of 2nd book Letting Go, I’ll call it....
Ch 37 Didn’t they already exchange contacts earlier at the private room....
