Chapter 8

"That's my wedding dress. Put it down."

Natalie's hand trembled, and the wedding dress fell to the ground.

Lucas's smile also froze instantly.

He frowned at me, looking displeased.

The accusation in his eyes almost made me lose my balance.

I clenched my fists, the pain in my palms making me more clear-headed.

"If you want to try on a wedding dress, there are plenty over there. This is one I've chosen, and I don't want anyone else taking it."

I emphasized the words "taking it" heavily. Natalie's little face instantly turned pale.

Her body swayed, as if she was about to collapse.

Seeing this, Lucas hurriedly supported her, letting her lean against his chest.

"Natalie, are you okay?"

Natalie shook her head, glanced at me, then quickly lowered her head again.

Her weak and pitiful appearance really made people feel sorry for her.

Lucas felt sorry for her.

He held Natalie and shouted at me: "Hazel, it's just a wedding dress, do you have to be so aggressive? Natalie is timid, why are you bullying her!"

Bullying her?

Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh.

I felt particularly confused and didn't understand.

"How am I bullying her?"

I walked forward and picked up the wedding dress from the ground. "This dress, you just said I looked good in it and that it could be the main dress for the wedding. Then you want to give the dress chosen for me to your ex-girlfriend to wear."

I looked at the two of them embracing, the smile on my face growing wider.

"Lucas, how many years has it been since the Qing Dynasty fell? Are you still dreaming of having a harem?"

"Hazel, I..."

Lucas seemed to finally realize his behavior was inappropriate and instinctively pushed Natalie away.

I watched her stumble, almost falling, yet staring at Lucas with big eyes full of hurt.

It seemed Lucas's letting go hurt her more.

But Lucas only looked at me, wanting to explain something but at a loss for words.

I didn't want to listen.

"Lucas, when she's wronged, you comfort her. When I'm wronged, you yell at me."

"If you can't tell who your girlfriend is, then there's no need for this wedding."

With that, I turned and went into the changing room, taking off the wedding dress.

When I came out, I found that Lucas and Natalie were gone.

At that moment, it felt like I had been slapped out of nowhere.

My face hurt, and so did my heart.
