Chapter 20 He simply said that this woman was making a scene.

"Mr. Grayson," Aaron nodded slightly at William. "I need to take care of spersonal matters. It will only take two minutes." With that, he took a long stride forward and grabbed Serena's wrist. "Wait forat the hotel." Serena was taken aback. "???" William seized the moment to interject, "Mr. Vance, do you know my fiancée?" Aaron was momentarily stunned. After a pause, he slowly turned his head to see William sitting in his wheelchair, smiling charmingly.

"This is the fiancée I mentioned to you yesterday, Serena. Serena, this is Aaron, Mr. Vance." Serena looked at William, who seemed utterly unaware of her acquaintance with Aaron, and realized what was happening.

Well, this worked out.

Aaron could see firsthand that she was getting married. Perhaps then he would finally believe she had truly moved on.

Aaron's expression darkened as if he had taken a heavy blow. After a long silence, he narrowed his eyes, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Serena, what did he just say?" Serena shook off Aaron's grip. "I didn't lie to you. I am getting married-to William." "Since William's accident left him unable to walk, Penelope decided he was useless and didn't want Bella to marry him. So, I returned to take her place and marry William." William, who had just been labeled as "useless," curled his lips into a smile.

If his instincts were correct, Serena was deliberately using this to get back at him by bringing Aaron into the picture.

"Your relationship with that family wasn't good. Why agree to a substitute marriage?" Serena turned her head slightly, smiling bitterly.

She never expected Aaron to understand her in the slightest.

Yet, when faced with the harsh truth, her heart still ached.

"This is my business!" Aaron gripped Serena's hand once more.

"Serena!" Serena looked at the red marks on her wrist and slowly met Aaron's reddened eyes.

A gentle breeze brushed against her long eyelashes.

Her eyes were as clear as if they had been washed by rain. "Aaron, you're my ex now. A good ex should disappear from my life, like they're dead, never to be seen again. Do you understand?" With that, she pulled away from Aaron and pushed William into the city hall.

William caught a glimpse of Aaron, who remained frozen at the entrance, bathed in the morning sunlight, still in shock.

He suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Aaron.

They reached the marriage license counter.

William quipped, "Looks like you're serious this time." Serena produced her ID card. "Mr. Grayson, there's no need to question my sincerity. Since I've agreed to marry you, I won't go back on my word. After the wedding, I won't maintain ties with my ex, nor will I betray you. Now, where's your ID?" William gripped the armrest.

In truth, he didn't really want to marry Serena.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought Aaron into the picture.

But now, the die was cast.

He glanced at Serena's slender hand, contemplating one last attempt to delay. "Don't you think Aaron looks pitiful?" The content is on youth attemptita novelenglish.net!

William looked toward the entrance, where Aaron stood, still seemingly lost in shock.

Serena, however, didn't spare Aaron a glance. She merely extended nem hand a bit further. "Your ID!" William sighed.

He narrowed his eyes and instructed the bodyguard, "The ID." The bodyguard handed over William's ID to Serena. Without hesitating, Serena passed both their IDs to the clerk. "We're getting married."
