Short filmTranscript
00:00My husband wanted to divorce me in order to have sex with his beloved woman.
00:04Only in this way, Brittany will be willing to sleep with me.
00:08But no worries, we can get married again when I'm done with her.
00:11I quietly signed my name on the divorce paper.
00:14As I left, I heard his friends teasing.
00:17Lily's way too obedient.
00:18Bet you could bring your mistress on your bed and she wouldn't say a thing.
00:21Chad lit a cigarette, pleased.
00:23Even if she cries her eyes out, she'll still do what I say.
00:27After all, she's dying to be my wife.
00:29Except me, no one wants her.
00:31I gripped my phone, silent.
00:33Then replied to the messages on the phone.
00:35Cole, let's get married.
00:37The reply came almost instantly.
00:39You finally agreed to marry me, Lily.
00:41I'm the happiest man in the world.
00:44I hung up the phone.
00:45Inside, I heard my ex-husband's laughter.
00:47Want to bet on it?
00:48She does whatever I say.
00:50I hurried out in a panic.
00:51Only then did I let my tears fall.
00:54Three months ago, I saw a photo on Instagram.
00:56Chad was holding a girl.
00:57Later, I found out her name was Brittany, an art student at NYU.
01:01Chad bought her an apartment.
01:03Her closet was full of luxury goods.
01:05She wouldn't let him kiss her.
01:06She wouldn't let him stay over.
01:07And she proudly declared,
01:09I definitely won't be your mistress.
01:11Chad thought she was fascinating.
01:12And because of her, I was teased three times.
01:15The first time, Chad held me and took a photo.
01:18Post our group photo on social media.
01:20I found out later.
01:22That post was only intended to make her jealous.
01:24The second time, Chad fought with me, left me alone on the street.
01:28He took a photo of me crying alone and sent it to her.
01:31To amuse her.
01:32The third time, Chad handed me the divorce papers.
01:35That afternoon, Chad took me to the courthouse to file.
01:38When the car stopped in front of the courthouse, he frowned at me impatiently.
01:41Have you cried?
01:43She's just a mistress.
01:44I'm just curious when I'll finally win her over.
01:46When he got out of the car, something fell out of Chad's pocket.
01:49It was a box of used condoms.
01:51He didn't explain.
01:52Take me in there.
01:53I have aphasia, so I can't speak when I'm nervous, but I can nod.
01:56Are you both voluntarily seeking a divorce?
01:59I nodded.
02:00In six months, the court will issue the divorce decree.
02:03When we exit the court, my phone also buzzed.
02:06It was a text from Brittany, a screenshot of her chat with Chad.
02:08He had sent her a photo of our divorce filing.
02:11Are you satisfied now?
02:13Wash up tonight and wait for me in bed.
02:15I tapped on her profile, blocked her number.
02:17Chad was still looking down, typing.
02:19He didn't notice me at all.
02:20And I didn't tell my ex-husband I'm going to get married to another man soon.
02:26That night when I slept, I still dreamed of Chad.
02:29He and I grew up together.
02:31Little Chad had a very sweet tongue.
02:33Lily, your eyes are so pretty.
02:35Lily, you play the piano so well.
02:37Lily, I like you the most.
02:39When I grow up, I'm going to marry you.
02:41I like Chad, too.
02:43We sat together in school, played together after school.
02:46Even when my parents died in a car accident, I was in his family's car,
02:49playing rock-paper-scissors with him.
02:51But the two cars were too close.
02:54I watched that truck crash right through them.
02:57My dad, my mom, my brother, even the dog I'd raised since I was little.
03:01They were all struggling in the fire.
03:03This is why I developed aphasia.
03:05I needed Chad to be with me so that I can fall asleep.
03:08Chad back then was very patient.
03:11He'd practice speaking with me, tell me stories for the whole night.
03:14If anyone dared to laugh at me for being mute, he'd punch them.
03:18Marrying him just seemed like the most natural thing.
03:21The day after I got my college diploma, he was at my bedside early in the morning.
03:25Lily, let's go get married.
03:27That day, we became husband and wife.
03:30In my dream, the room was full of white roses covering the floor of our new home.
03:34He knelt down on one knee, kissed me so gently.
03:38Lily, we'll be this happy forever.
03:40But when I opened my eyes, the whole world was dark.
03:42I grabbed my phone.
03:44Brittany had texted again.
03:45In the photo, there is a messy bed.
03:47Her and Chad, naked, cuddled up together.
03:50I suddenly felt sick.
03:52I ran to the bathroom and dry heaved.
03:54Finally, I sat on the cold floor, hugging my knees.
03:58I don't know what I pressed on my phone.
04:00In the silent night, a low male voice suddenly spoke.
04:03Lily?
04:05My heart skipped a beat and I picked up the phone.
04:08Cole?
04:10I was stunned for a few seconds, then realized I'd accidentally dialed his number.
04:15Sorry, it was an accident.
04:17It's okay.
04:18His voice was very calm.
04:19Are you okay?
04:21Cole was someone I met in a Facebook support group for selective mutism.
04:25Three years ago, after my symptoms improved, I joined the group and volunteered to be a helper.
04:29The person assigned to me had a pink bunny as their profile picture.
04:33His name is Angel.
04:35I thought it was a girl.
04:36At first, Angel didn't respond at all.
04:38So I sent her messages every day.
04:41Pictures of my breakfast, pictures of the clouds outside my window, pictures of cats I met on the street.
04:45From text to voice messages, from voice messages to video.
04:49Slowly, she started replying.
04:52After a year, we were like old friends, talking about everything.
04:55The first time I called her was to tell her that Chad and I had fought, but a male voice
05:00answered.
05:01Hello?
05:02Sorry, wrong number.
05:04I almost threw my phone.
05:05Lily, I'm Angel.
05:07I was shocked.
05:08The bathroom floor was cold.
05:09I snapped back to reality.
05:11Sorry for disturbing your rest.
05:13No, it's 9 p.m. here.
05:14He spoke so fluently now.
05:16This was only our second call.
05:18After finding out he was a man, I purposely kept my distance.
05:21That day was really just an accident.
05:23I hadn't contacted Cole for almost a month.
05:25When Chad handed me the divorce papers, he asked me what I was doing.
05:29My mind went blank.
05:30I only replied with one sentence.
05:33I'm getting a divorce.
05:35After signing, I was shaking all over.
05:37Cole, I think I'm going to become homeless.
05:40No family, no cute little dog.
05:43Even Chad left me.
05:44What shall I do?
05:45I didn't expect him to suddenly say that.
05:48Will you like to marry me?
05:49The teasing in my ex-husband's room grew louder and louder.
05:53Lily, without Chad, she can't even speak.
05:56How could she really dare to divorce?
05:58If you really abandoned her, she'd probably cry like a drowned dog.
06:01Chad let out a sneer.
06:02She's just a pet I raised.
06:04If I tell her to go east, she'll crawl east!
06:08I stared blankly at Chad through the crack of the door.
06:11This man makes me feel unfamiliar.
06:13I gave Cole my answer.
06:16Okay, let's get married.
06:17Cole quickly sent me a list to help me get through their divorce more smoothly.
06:21Moving, finding a lawyer, living alone didn't seem so hard,
06:25packing every day, dealing with things.
06:27The day I moved out of the marital home, my phone rang.
06:31It was a message from Chad.
06:32You haven't even called me.
06:34Don't you miss me?
06:34He had gone on a trip with his mistress.
06:37I looked at the photo he sent, the blue sea, the white sand.
06:41This place is nice.
06:42I smiled helplessly.
06:44The three-year anniversary has already passed.
06:47I really wanted to just block him,
06:49but I still needed to get the divorce certificate, so forget it.
06:53After packing, I went to the hospital for a checkup.
06:56Confirmed I wasn't pregnant.
06:58Finally, I organized all the assets Chad had entrusted to me over the years.
07:04The night before going to the courthouse, Chad came back.
07:07Lily, you moved out?
07:08I'm going home.
07:09What about your stuff?
07:10His voice was filled with disbelief.
07:12Chad, see you at the courthouse tomorrow.
07:15Lily, don't forget, without me, you can't even speak.
07:19I ignored him and hung up.
07:21The next day, I woke up early.
07:23Chad was late.
07:23Probably Brittany did it on purpose.
07:26His neck was covered with kiss marks.
07:27He pretended not to see it.
07:29I pretended not to see it, too.
07:31The process was even smoother than last time.
07:33It only took about five minutes.
07:35I put away the divorce certificate.
07:37Chad, are you free tonight?
07:39There's something I want to talk to you about.
07:42Chad was taken aback.
07:43Since we got married, I had always called him honey.
07:46The next moment, he nodded.
07:47Okay.
07:48No matter what Chad had become this past year,
07:50I didn't want to deny the Chad from the past.
07:52I was grateful for his companionship all those years.
07:55Thankful for how he used to take care of me.
07:57So actually, I never planned to leave without saying goodbye.
08:00But it rained that night.
08:02Thunder and lightning.
08:03I'm afraid of nights like this.
08:05The car accident happened during a storm just like this.
08:08I endured the shivers waiting for Chad.
08:10I was even a little worried that when Chad showed up,
08:14would I, out of years of habit, shatter the mental walls I'd barely built
08:17and throw myself into his arms crying.
08:19But he didn't come.
08:20He called me.
08:21When the call connected, it was noisy on his end.
08:26What salvation bullshit!
08:28I was so sick of her back then.
08:30If my mom didn't like her, I wouldn't have bothered with her.
08:32Marriage?
08:33Want to guess why we got married so early?
08:35It's because she wouldn't let me fuck her!
08:39I'm just curious.
08:40Since she can't speak when she's upset,
08:42What about in bed?
08:44Can she make noise?
08:48A bolt of lightning struck out loud.
08:50I held the phone my whole body cold.
08:52So he had stopped loving me long ago.
08:55Or rather, he never loved me at all.
08:57I wanted to hide.
08:58Not let anyone see me so humiliated.
09:00But where could I hide?
09:01Rain everywhere.
09:03Lightning everywhere.
09:04Ridicule everywhere.
09:05Just let me know where could my phone ring?
09:10Lily?
09:11Cole's voice was always so calm.
09:13Making all those noisy sounds seemed to fade away instantly.
09:16Are you crying?
09:17I wanted to say no, but I couldn't utter a single word.
09:21I could only cry loudly.
09:22Wait for me.
09:23I'm coming to get you.
09:25It was raining in Manhattan.
09:27Chad's friends were throwing him a bachelor party at a bar.
09:29Half of them were passed out drunk.
09:31At 2 a.m., someone groggily pulled out their phone.
09:34Holy shit!
09:36Big news!
09:37That shout woke a few up.
09:38Do you know Cole Bennett?
09:39He's in New York!
09:40Cole Bennett?
09:42The only son of the Bennett family?
09:43The youngest billionaire in America?
09:45No way.
09:46Hasn't he been out of the public eye for 10 years?
09:48Rumor has it he flew here on his private jet overnight.
09:51It's true.
09:52Someone got a photo.
09:53It really is him.
09:54And he's holding a woman.
09:56Word is he came overnight to take her away.
09:58Didn't even have time for PR.
10:00This woman looks kind of familiar.
10:03Chad!
10:05Chad!
10:07Look at the one in Cole Bennett's arms.
10:10Doesn't she look like Lily?
10:13How could it be Lily?
10:15Lily wouldn't even venture out of her house.
10:18Chad took the phone, annoyed.
10:20But glancing at the photo, he suddenly froze.
10:23He knew me too well.
10:24My figure.
10:25My hair color.
10:26But in his heart, he still said impossible.
10:28How could Lily know some Cole Bennett?
10:31Chad took out his phone.
10:32Found my number.
10:33Even though it was 3 a.m.
10:35He was sure no matter what time, his call I would answer.
10:38Chad dialed.
10:39He froze.
10:40He didn't expect my number to be disconnected.
10:42The number you have dialed is not available.
10:47I huddled in the downstairs of the apartment.
10:50My phone was dead.
10:51I didn't know what Cole looked like.
10:53We'd only spoken on the phone twice.
10:56A black umbrella appeared over my head.
10:58I looked up, my vision slowly clearing.
11:01A man stood before me.
11:03His dark hair was wet with rain.
11:05Deep eyes.
11:06A straight nose.
11:07I'd never seen such a handsome man.
11:09He took off his coat and put it on me.
11:10I was shaking all over.
11:12Lily.
11:13His voice was exactly like on the phone.
11:15Calm, deep, reassuring.
11:17I'm Cole.
11:18He reached out his hand.
11:19Palm up, stopping in front of me.
11:22I'll take you away.
11:29Ever since the car accident that took my family,
11:32all modes of transportation terrified me.
11:34Going somewhere completely strange made me even more anxious.
11:38I sat next to Cole.
11:40He seemed to be some kind of big celebrity.
11:42Just now at the airport, reporters had surrounded us completely,
11:46calling him Mr. Bennett over and over.
11:48Want one?
11:49Cole handed me a piece of candy.
11:51The wrapper had a pink bunny on it.
11:53Memories instantly pulled me back two years.
11:55When I tirelessly tried to talk to her,
11:58Angel, do you like candy?
12:00If you want, I'll mail you a jar.
12:03That was the first time she responded to me.
12:05The feeling of strangeness suddenly vanished.
12:08This bunny candy, I had looked for it for so long.
12:11Just wanted to make this lonely girl happy.
12:15He didn't seem so hard to get close to.
12:18Want me to unwrap it for you?
12:19Before I could nod, he had already expertly unwrapped it.
12:22I took the candy and put it in my mouth.
12:24A familiar taste spread on my tongue.
12:27Every pore in my body relaxed.
12:29It was strange.
12:30Next to a stranger.
12:31I actually felt safer than next to Chad.
12:34Cole arranged for me to stay in his apartment,
12:36but he seemed very busy.
12:38Rarely home.
12:39He only talked to me once.
12:41Lily, what kind of job do you want?
12:43One sentence, and I was stunned.
12:45Chad never let me work after we got married.
12:47You can't even speak clearly when you're nervous.
12:50What can you do?
12:52Just stay home.
12:54Do I really need you to earn money?
12:56But Cole encouraged me.
12:58Your speech therapy hasn't started yet,
13:00but you can try stepping out.
13:04I picked up my palm.
13:06Am I really capable of doing this?
13:08Cole raised an eyebrow.
13:10How will you know if you don't try?
13:12And then I actually found a job.
13:14Teaching kids to read picture books.
13:16Just a simple tutoring job,
13:18but I felt happy for the first time in a long time.
13:21So happy I wanted to share with my few friends.
13:23I guess I'm not so useless after all.
13:25Just logged into Facebook.
13:26Countless messages poured in.
13:28Lily, where did you go?
13:29Chad is looking for you like crazy.
13:31Chad is looking for me?
13:33The night I left him.
13:34I wasn't in a good state,
13:36so Cole handled everything afterwards.
13:38Other things, like the SIM card,
13:40Cole changed it for me.
13:41A call came in.
13:42My hand was too fast.
13:43Accidentally answered.
13:46Lily, what the hell are you doing?
13:49Chad's voice burst out.
13:51Why haven't you called me?
13:53Don't you want to celebrate our third anniversary anymore?
13:56Chad, we're already divorced.
14:00Before he could say another word,
14:01I hung up.
14:02Blocked him.
14:02Then I found all of Chad's friends in my list.
14:05Blocked them all.
14:06On the way back, I bought a small cake.
14:08Cole and I had been talking for over two years.
14:10After getting past the initial awkwardness,
14:12I was familiar with him.
14:13Like, knowing what he likes.
14:15I had just taken out my keys when the door opened.
14:17Cole was wearing a blindingly white shirt,
14:19holding a fluffy little animal.
14:22Puppy!
14:22I was so happy I forgot what I was holding.
14:25I reached out and took the puppy.
14:26Is it yours?
14:27You never mentioned it.
14:28It's so cute.
14:30It's for you.
14:30I was stunned.
14:34I...
14:34Can I?
14:35Chad never let me have a pet.
14:37He said fur gets everywhere and it smells weird.
14:40Why can't you?
14:41It felt like fireworks went off in my heart.
14:43I was going to have my own puppy again.
14:45Here.
14:46This cake is for you.
14:48I handed the cake to Cole and went to play with the puppy.
14:51I looked up.
14:52Cole sat next to me, smiling as he began to eat the cake.
14:56Angel, you got cream on you.
14:57I stood up, was about to grab a tissue, suddenly realized I used the wrong name.
15:02Cole's voice got closer.
15:03His breath got closer too.
15:05Too close, I lifted my eyes slightly and saw his handsome face.
15:08And the firmness under my hand, my hand was somehow on his chest.
15:11All I could hear was my own heartbeat.
15:13I wanted to back away, but Cole held the back of my head.
15:16He kissed me, leaving no room for refusal.
15:19Lily, aren't you forgetting something?
15:22My heart was about to explode.
15:23My face was so hot, my head felt dizzy.
15:26But he kissed me again.
15:27This time, it was light, gentle.
15:29His voice was low and husky.
15:32When are we going to register?
15:34Today or tomorrow?
15:35I don't know how it happened.
15:37Kissed into a daze, thinking,
15:39It's already evening.
15:42So tomorrow it is.
15:43The next day, Cole actually took me to City Hall.
15:46A kind judge officiated the ceremony.
15:48I just nodded along.
15:49He smiled and declared us legally married.
15:52A little nervous, but mostly excitement, like nose-like.
15:55I always felt Cole wouldn't be a wrong choice.
15:57The only unhappy thing was that Chad somehow found my Boston number.
16:01As soon as the call connected, he recognized my voice.
16:04You really went to Boston?
16:06Lily, learn to throw a tantrum, huh?
16:09A month now, still not done?
16:11I took a deep breath to suppress the rising emotions.
16:14Chad, stop bothering my life.
16:18Your life?
16:19What kind of life can you have?
16:21Don't think I don't know.
16:23You went to find that angel, right?
16:26Whatever I did before, whatever friends I made, I never hid from Chad.
16:31None of this concerns you.
16:32I'm your goddamn husband.
16:33If it doesn't concern me, who does it concern?
16:36I hung up.
16:37He texted again.
16:38Not replying, huh?
16:40See if you can leech off some internet friend forever.
16:43I never thought Chad could be such a nasty person.
16:45But then I thought,
16:46he could cheat while married
16:48and brazenly asked me to fake a divorce.
16:50What kind of good person would that be?
16:52I was blinded by our childhood bond,
16:54lost my head.
16:55That night, many friends messaged me again.
16:58Mostly screenshots of Chad's social media.
17:00What's going on with you and Chad?
17:02Chad on social media
17:03posted an intimate photo with Brittany,
17:05basically publicly acknowledging their relationship.
17:08I couldn't be bothered to explain.
17:10I just went on social media,
17:11posted a photo of the divorce certificate.
17:14My college friend group exploded.
17:15Oh my god, Lily, you finally woke up.
17:18I always thought Chad was off.
17:20He never took you to meet his friends.
17:21Never posted about you?
17:23Exactly, and he always brought up your mutism.
17:26You'd be talking fine with us.
17:27Then he'd mention it,
17:28and you'd actually get nervous.
17:30So everything, had signs all along.
17:32A few days later, the group exploded again.
17:34Is he insane?
17:36Chad sent the same message to each of them.
17:38A photo of a diamond ring
17:39and a message to pass on to me.
17:42Tell Lily.
17:42This weekend is my mom's birthday party.
17:44If she doesn't come back,
17:46my mom's daughter-in-law will be someone else.
17:48I also thought he was insane.
17:50Insane.
17:50Don't mind him,
17:51but I really was going back to New York.
17:53That night, Cole came home with two suitcases.
17:57We're going back to New York.
17:58I was stunned, didn't react.
18:01I have work to go back and handle.
18:02He was packing documents.
18:05And I'll take you to meet my family and friends.
18:08I subconsciously wanted to ask.
18:09I, I, can I?
18:11Just like my friend said,
18:13Chad never took me to public events.
18:15He was afraid I wouldn't be able to speak.
18:17He was afraid I'd embarrass him.
18:19Lily.
18:20Cole suddenly stopped what he was doing,
18:22turned around,
18:23held my face with one hand.
18:24There's nothing that isn't allowed.
18:26A warm feeling flowed through my whole body.
18:29So a positive relationship is like this.
18:32Just so, I also wanted to meet with the lawyer.
18:35Unlike the heavy rain when we left,
18:37when we landed, the sun was shining.
18:39Cole was very low-key, wore sunglasses the whole way,
18:43held my hand, and took the VIP channel.
18:45After all this time, of course I knew who he really was.
18:48The only son of the Bennett family,
18:50the youngest billionaire in America.
18:52We arrived safely at the hotel.
18:54He went to his company, and I went to the law firm.
18:57Lily, your assets are being handled as you requested.
19:00It's just...
19:01The lawyer looked a bit troubled.
19:02Regarding the marital property between you and Chad,
19:05he refuses to cooperate.
19:07He says you two aren't divorced.
19:08I frowned.
19:10I'll communicate.
19:11I took out my phone.
19:12After telling my friends to block Chad,
19:14he created all sorts of fake accounts.
19:16Tried to add me with different tricks every day,
19:18I accepted one of them.
19:19Free tonight?
19:20Come meet.
19:21Chad didn't reply quickly.
19:23He was typing for a long time.
19:27Finally willing to come back?
19:28What a pity.
19:30Tonight, I have to go shopping with Brittany.
19:32No time.
19:32I looked at my phone, almost laughed out of anger.
19:36His refusal to cooperate wasn't impossible to handle.
19:39Just apply for court enforcement.
19:41But this trip was short.
19:42I wanted things to be simple.
19:44Probably seeing I didn't reply, he messaged again.
19:47If you want to talk, it's not impossible.
19:50Tomorrow is my mom's birthday party.
19:52Come and join the banquet.
19:53He sent a location.
19:54He's really insane.
19:56I blocked him again.
19:57Just then, Cole also messaged.
20:00I had someone send you a few dresses.
20:02Take your pick.
20:04Tomorrow, I'll first take you to meet some friends.
20:06Meeting Cole's friends.
20:07My heart sped up a bit.
20:09I immediately forgot the unhappiness Chad brought.
20:11Took a taxi back to the hotel.
20:14Cole didn't just send a few dresses.
20:16Several full racks, plus matching shoes,
20:19jewelry, and makeup artists.
20:21Filled an entire room.
20:23Seeing how much importance he placed on this,
20:25I didn't dare to be careless either.
20:27Trying on and changing.
20:28Picked for almost the whole night.
20:30The next day, I changed clothes and did my makeup.
20:33Cole's message came just then.
20:35I'm sending a driver to get you.
20:37As I got in the car, a strange number called.
20:40My gut said it was Chad again.
20:41I just hung up.
20:42But I didn't expect.
20:43When the driver stopped, I actually saw Chad.
20:46Chad was standing at the hotel entrance,
20:48furiously on the phone.
20:49Finally smashed his phone.
20:50I looked up at the hotel name.
20:52It was actually the one Chad sent me yesterday.
20:55Cole's call came in just then.
20:57Arrived.
20:58Come down to get you.
20:59His voice always calms me down.
21:01I glanced at Chad, his face dark.
21:03No need.
21:04I'll come up myself.
21:07Maybe he heard my voice.
21:08Chad also looked over, like surprise,
21:11like joy, mixed with anger.
21:14Lily.
21:14But only that one word.
21:16He pressed his lips together, looked away.
21:18Let's go.
21:19Then with a bit of smugness.
21:21I knew you'd come.
21:21This hotel seems to have booked for a private event.
21:24I suddenly realized what Cole meant by
21:26meet some friends.
21:28I understand what this sentence means now.
21:30He lowered his voice.
21:31All right.
21:32I'll admit I'm wrong, okay?
21:34Is it just that you don't like Brittany?
21:37I'll stop seeing her, okay?
21:42You're too jealous.
21:44I took a deep breath, controlled my emotions.
21:47Went up to the second floor, saw a few familiar faces.
21:51Oh, Lily finally came back.
21:53Only Chad could do it.
21:55A housewife.
21:56Why play the runaway canary?
21:59Chad, with so many people today, you brought her.
22:02Aren't you afraid?
22:03Exactly.
22:03There's an important person here today.
22:05Chad glared at them.
22:07Get lost.
22:09He moved closer to me.
22:11Good thing you're sensible.
22:13New to dress up before coming.
22:15In a while, just follow behind me.
22:18Don't talk.
22:19Just smile.
22:20Understand?
22:22He reached out his hand.
22:23You can hold.
22:24Come.
22:25I stopped in my tracks.
22:26Chad, I'm not here for you.
22:28Chad laughed out loud.
22:31Give it up.
22:32Who do you think you're fooling?
22:34If not for me, who else would you be here for?
22:38The inner hall doors opened.
22:39I saw Cole at a glance.
22:41This is not Cole's home ground.
22:42But he sat in the main seat.
22:44On his left and right were Chad's mother
22:46and Chad's older brother who runs the company.
22:49Others were standing or sitting,
22:50but somehow formed a semi-circle with Cole at the center.
22:54See that?
22:55That distinguished guest in the middle?
22:57My mom went through a lot to invite him.
23:00You behave yourself.
23:02Don't embarrass the Montgomerys.
23:05My mom and brother will surely blame you.
23:08Chad said and reached for my hand.
23:10I quickly pulled away.
23:12Lily!
23:13What the hell is wrong with you?
23:15It was loud.
23:16Many people also looked over.
23:18Cole saw me.
23:19His gaze darkened slightly.
23:20Chad, what's the commotion?
23:22Chad's mother stared at me disapprovingly.
23:25Chad's mother stared at me disapprovingly.
23:27Chad's older brother frowned at me,
23:29then smiled at Cole.
23:31Mrs. Bennett should be here soon.
23:33Should I go down to pick her up?
23:35People whispered.
23:37Chad muttered.
23:38I told you not to cause trouble.
23:40Now are you happy?
23:41This is your first time seeing so many Montgomery relatives.
23:44This is if you will knock the stairs.
23:46I guess the can they be when it's Minotaur ours.
23:48Three years of marriage,
23:49this was the first time meeting all of Chad's family.
23:53Lily.
23:53Cole suddenly called me.
23:56Come here.
23:57Between him and Chad's mother,
23:58there was an empty seat.
24:00Chad was stunned.
24:00Chad's mother and brother, also stunned.
24:03I stepped forward.
24:04Let me introduce.
24:06Cole's voice wasn't loud,
24:07but enough for everyone present to hear.
24:09He took my hand,
24:11kissed the back of my hand,
24:12looked back at everyone.
24:13This is my wife.
24:15The banquet hall fell into dead silence.
24:17What it is.
24:17I'm sorry.
