The day Liam got engaged to another woman, I decided to marry his nephew, Noah.

1.

The grand engagement ceremony played out on TV.

Everyone was celebrating Alexander Thorne and Serena Davies’ wedding.

"Mr. Thorne and Ms. Davies are truly a match made in heaven. Let's send them our sincerest wishes for eternal love and happiness!"

A thunderous applause erupted, and then, the couple exchanged engagement rings.

The TV station zoomed in on Serena’s ring.

A massive, emerald-cut diamond ring, its exorbitant cost immediately apparent.

I watched the TV, finishing the last of my instant noodles.
