There was a brief commotion as the wedding guests realized that Gwen was here.
Who would have thought that one would encounter so much at a wedding?
The bride had tried to show up the groom’s ex—wife by sending her a wedding invitation, only to discover that the ex-wife’s best friend had attended instead.
The ex-wife’s best friend and her companion had tried to stir up unrest during the wedding, only to accidentally reveal the truth about the bride and groom’s infidelity.
And then, the ex-wife herself appeared at the wedding venue…
This was more dramatic than any soap opera!
Luna frowned and quickly stood up. Then, she made her way to Gwen and grabbed hold of her hand. She asked in a low voice, “Gwennie, what are you doing here?“
Gwen answered, her face still pale and sickly, “Luke wanted to bring me here.“ She let out a sigh. “Luke is right. If I wanted to move on and forget about Ben, I shouldn’t let you attend the wedding on my behalf and ask you to show me photos later. I shouldn’t try to hide anymore.“
She lifted her gaze to stare at the bride and groom, who were standing motionless on the podium. “I should face them head-on.“ Then, she glanced at Ben with a contemptuous smirk. ”Although I didn’t expect to uncover any surprises today.”
”I shou1d’ve known. In high school, you’ve always been in love with Luna Gibson. I wasn’t your first choice at all, but after high school, Luna married someone else and moved to Banyan City. You knew you couldn’t match up to Luna’s husband, so you lowered your standards and married me instead, ” Gwen said in a cold voice.
”I’ve always been a rebound for you since the start. I shou1d’ve known that you would get rid of me as soon as you found someone more suitable for you. ” She stared straight at Ben and continued, ”Since Clover is already five months along now… even if what happened three months ago didn’t happen, you still would’ve found an excuse to divorce me, wouldn’t you?”
Ben’s entire body stiffened when he heard this.
Although Gwen was harsh, she was still telling the truth.
He closed his eyes and said, ”Gwen, this isn’t my fault! You and I have been married for more than five years now, but you’ve never borne me a child! I told you to take your time and that I don’t mind waiting, but do you think I really don’t?
”I switched out the contraceptive pills in your desk and even poked holes in the condoms we use!
Despite that, for five years, you never showed any signs of getting pregnant at all, and even though I begged you to get a gynecological checkup, you refused… Clover is different ! I ‘ve only been with her for a year, but she’s already gotten pregnant with my child! “
With that, Ben let out an exhale, stared at Gwen, and said in a harsh tone, “Gwen, I ‘m not heartless, and I’m not a scumbag. It’s because of you! It’s your fault! If you had been able to get pregnant like a normal woman and been able to give birth to my child, I wouldn’t have cheated on you at all! “
Gwen and Luna immediately exchanged a glance when they heard Ben’s words. Their faces were etched with shock.
Ben was saying that… he cheated on Gwen because she could not bear a child for him?
