My Fiance Took My Cousin to Our Wedding Photoshoot. Ok, I Canceled the Wedding Chapter 05
Vivian canceled it?
That’s impossible!
No one knew better than he did how much Vivian had
looked forward to this wedding.
They’d been together for eight years.
She’d waited eight years.
She had followed every step of the wedding design herself.
She had personally reviewed every guest on the list.
There was no way she would suddenly call off the wedding!
“Delilah, didn’t you know Vivian canceled the wedding?”
Nathaniel turned to Delilah.
“You’ve been handling all the wedding arrangements.
Didn’t the hotel notify you?”
“I had no idea either.”
Delilah played dumb.
“I was only in charge of the costumes, props, and makeup.
Vivian handled the church arrangements herself.
She never told me she was canceling it.”
Nathaniel’s frown deepened.
Suddenly, a thought struck him and he felt a jolt of alarm.
“Is something wrong with Vivian?”
He frantically pulled out his phone and dialed Vivian’s number.
But her phone was off.
He sent messages. No reply.
The atmosphere in the room turned serious.
Delilah suddenly started crying.
“Nathaniel, is Vivian mad at us for going abroad
without her last time?
Is she trying to get back at us?
It’s all my fault!
If I hadn’t pushed to leave early that day, none of this
would have happened!
I ruined your wedding.”
“Delilah, this isn’t your fault.”
Nathaniel patted her shoulder absently.
“Vivian’s always been so sensible.
She wouldn’t get this upset over something so small.
Something else must have happened.
I’ll get in touch with her and find out.”
Mrs. Morrow looked just as worried.
“Vivian’s always been level–headed.
She wouldn’t just cancel her wedding without a word.
Maybe she’s being threatened by someone.
Nathaniel, we need to find Vivian right away!”
Nathaniel felt a rising sense of dread.
He didn’t waste a second. He ran straight to Vivian’s house.
She wasn’t there.
He went to her company, only to be told she’d taken half a month off.
Nathaniel searched almost half the city but found no trace of Vivian.
Her phone was still off.
The more Nathaniel thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
They’d known each other for over twenty years.
Vivian had never just disappeared without a word like this.
No matter what happened before, her phone had never
been off for more than two hours.
She’d never gone this long without replying to him.
Right now, Nathaniel was a bundle of nerves.
But then Delilah gasped.
“Nathaniel, Vivian’s fine!
She just posted on Instagram!”
Nathaniel’s heart lurched.
He grabbed Delilah’s phone and saw Vivian’s post.
Just four words: [Arrived safely.]
Location: Boston.
Nathaniel finally let out a breath of relief.
Thank God, she was okay.
Before he could even process why her location was
Boston, Delilah exclaimed in surprise.
“Hey, Vivian’s location. Isn’t this where the World Cup is tomorrow?
Nathaniel, so Vivian went abroad to watch the World
Cup after all!”
Then she started sobbing, forcing out tears.
“I knew it!
I knew she was mad we went abroad without her!
It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have made you leave early,
I shouldn’t have forgotten to tell her.
She must be so angry at me.
It’s all my fault.”
Mrs. Morrow hurried to comfort her.
“It’s okay, Delilah, it’s not your fault.
Vivian’s always been a sensitive one.
Who knows what she was thinking, running off abroad
without telling anyone and making everyone worry for nothing.”
Delilah burrowed into Mrs. Morrow’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably,
Nathaniel watched her cry, but this time he felt no sympathy. Only a vague irritation.
He even felt, deep down, that Delilah was right.
If she hadn’t insisted on leaving early and leaving Vivian behind, Vivian wouldn’t be so upset with him.
And he was to blame too.
He thought Vivian wouldn’t mind.
After all, similar things had happened many times before, and she’d never gotten angry with him.
So why this time.
Nathaniel suddenly froze.
It hit him like a ton of bricks.
All these years, he realized, he’d neglected Vivian more times than he could count.
A pang of guilt tugged at his heart, but the worry was stronger.
Had Vivian gone abroad alone?
She’d always been a little directionally challenged.
What if she ran into danger?
Nathaniel had to admit it. He cared about Vivian more than he’d realized.
He quickly pulled out his phone and urgently dialed her number.
This time, the call finally went through.
He opened his mouth to speak, but a deep male voice came from the other end.
“Vivian, come here.
Tell me if you like this.”
Nathaniel froze.
