Part 3My Boyfriend Left Me Without Hesitation After His Goddess Slit Her Wrists

You really have to hand it to a good assistant.

Not only did he adjust to the fact his boss was suddenly getting married, but he even agreed to officiate the ceremony.

With our new “officiant” in place, the engagement party proceeded smoothly.

Thanks to my best friend giving my parents the heads-up, they handled the switch calmly.

As for Jack’s parents, they’d already left the venue by then.

I later found out that Jack had started planning for their exit the moment he took Samantha’s call. Knowing he was in the wrong, he didn’t want his parents to face the embarrassment of apologizing on his behalf, so he went for the coward’s way out.

People really show their true colors when they’re running away.

After the ceremony wrapped up, my dad couldn’t wait to ask Ethan what was going on.

“Ethan, what’s the deal with today?”

He was still calling Ethan “old buddy,” but my mom was quicker on the uptake.

“Sweetie, you can’t call him that anymore—it’s your son-in-law now!” She whispered, pinching my dad’s waist.

“I mean…this is all so sudden…”

Seeing how confused my dad looked, Ethan put his arm around my shoulder and smoothly spun a completely made-up story about how we had “always loved each other but were too afraid to admit it—until today.”

Honestly, even I almost believed him.

As the top-ranked “Outstanding Young Professional” in the city, handling an engagement party was a walk in the park for Ethan. Before long, he had the room eating out of his hand.

A couple of puzzled guests were quickly drowned in my dad’s wine.

The party was a success.

Back in the dressing room, my best friend finally let out a deep breath.

“Jack is such a jerk, but at least he did one decent thing in his life—today.”

As she helped me out of my wedding gown, she couldn’t resist throwing in a few more snarky comments.

“You dropped a tiny speck of dust and traded it for a whole truckload of gold. Honestly, you’ve won the jackpot!”

I chuckled. “You should have joined a comedy show. They’re missing out on some serious talent.”
