He Said He’d Marry Her, So I Married Someone Else Chapter 09By Novel7s / June 29, 2026 He Said He’d Marry Her, So I Married Someone Else Chapter 09Ethan was suddenly lost.Brooke’s soft sobs pulled him back to the present.Right.Ava had been the one to change.As she grew up, spoiled by the Whitmores, she became more and more willful, more domineering.She wouldn’t let him get close to any other woman.She got jealous and cried over the smallest things.So he grew more and more annoyed, and he pushed her further and further away.He had even ignored her pleas and insisted on sending her away to school in Chicago.He had only done it to teach her a lesson. To make her grow up.Once she learned to behave, of course he would bring her back.After all their years together, he couldn’t just abandon her in a strange city.But it seemed she hadn’t learned her lesson at all.She was still pulling these childish stunts, even on a day as important as this.She really was something else.She hadn’t even shown up yet, and she had already thrown the entire Whitmore family into chaos.Ethan pulled Brooke back into his arms.“Go wash your face. Have the makeup artist do a touch-up.”“I’ll deal with Ava, then I’ll come find you.”“The ceremony will start on time. Don’t worry.”Ethan wiped away Brooke’s tears, then turned and walked away.Brooke stood watching him go.For some reason, a knot of unease tightened in her stomach.Claire’s question had been a good one.Everyone knew Ethan hated Ava.And yet, he had just slapped his own cousin for a few careless words.Did he really hate Ava?Or was she, and had she always been, different?
