He Said He’d Marry Her, So I Married Someone Else Chapter 33

He Said He’d Marry Her, So I Married Someone Else Chapter 33

When the police arrived at the Whitmore mansion and escorted the troublemakers away, Brooke seemed to finally realize she had lost.

She demanded a large sum of money.

The day they finally laid all their cards on the table, Ethan felt like he was meeting Brooke for the first time.

She was cold, mercenary, greedy, and twisted.

That beautiful face had become completely unrecognizable.

When he handed her the money, he wanted to laugh at himself.

Laugh at his own stupidity.

The things you take for granted when you’re young.

The person who is with you every day can lose their shine simply because they are too familiar.

But a truly mature man should be able to resist the temptation of something new.

He should be able to take better and better care of the person he loves.

And he, without a doubt, was a complete bastard.

Later, Ava’s husband brought her racehorse to Chicago.

When Ethan went to the equestrian club, the horse was already gone.

Only his own horse remained, standing alone in its stall.

Ethan led it out.

He mounted and galloped into the wind.

Lap after lap, as if he couldn’t feel exhaustion.

Until at last, he closed his eyes, let go of the reins, and let himself fall.

He broke his leg, but he didn’t die.

His parents cried by his hospital bed, heartbroken.

It seemed that only in that moment did Ethan finally grow up.

Enduring the intense pain, he comforted his parents.

He knew his life couldn’t go on like this.

Not long after Brooke had the abortion, she was sentenced to prison for extortion.

Her father and younger brother, who had caused the most trouble, were imprisoned with her.

The rest of her family soon scattered.

They had gotten some money.

It wasn’t as much as they wanted, but it was better than nothing.

After they returned to their hometown in the Midwest, what happened to Brooke and her family was no longer any of their concern.

Only Brooke’s mother, whose son was in prison, cried until she nearly went blind.

She came to hate Brooke completely.

Those people and events, far away in Los Angeles, slowly faded like old photographs.

And Ava’s new life had only just begun.
