He Ruined Me First, Now I Found My Forever

After seven years of dating and six weeks of pregnancy, Alden still did not hold a wedding or get a marriage certificate with me.

Three days ago, he won the silver medal in the international freestyle skiing men's competition. He promised me for the eighth time to hold a grand wedding.

On the eve of the wedding, it happened to be the celebration banquet of the ski team. I kept running to the toilet to vomit because I was not used tpo eating seafood, but Alden kept blocking the wine for Nanette and never cared about me.

The people in the ski team were used to this, but the sympathy in their eyes when they looked at me still embarrassed me.

It was getting later and later. If I did not go back, I would miss the makeup at four o'clock tomorrow.

I urged Alden to go home, but he said impatiently, "If you are tired, drive home first. Nanette is drunk. I have to take her back, otherwise I will be worried.

"It does not matter if the wedding is postponed for a few days. I wo not cancel it this time."

This was the eighth time Alden regretted our wedding.

I was about to say that there were so many people present, but Alden had already turned his head and gently stopped Nanette's hand from wanting to drink.

He did not think about my feelings at all, nor did he think about how dangerous it was for me, a pregnant woman, to drive.

Ever since I got pregnant, my mood had been a constant storm.

In the past, I would have cried, thrown a tantrum like a heartbroken fool, demanding to know if Alden ever intended to marry me, if I ever truly mattered to him.

But this time, I simply lowered my eyes and whispered, Then Ill go home first.

As soon as I finished speaking, Nanette vomited all over him.

But he did not show any disgust. Instead, he wiped the body clean patiently, picked her up and took her to the bathroom.

Alden has mysophobia. When I vomited in the trash can due to morning sickness, he would stand two meters away from me and remind me to clean the trash can.

Not to mention vomiting on him.

It seemed that his mysophobia was only directed at people other than Nanette.

I got into the taxi in silence. The driver turned on the air-conditioning very well, but I was sweating all over.

Because I vomited too much, my body was already very uncomfortable.

I hesitated for a long time before I opened my phone and made an appointment for an abortion.

I could not hold on to this seven-year relationship.

The next morning, I went to find the coach of the ski team and asked to resign from the position of nutritionist.

The coach thought I was just being emotional, so he gently advised, "There's no need to resign just because you're pregnant. We will wait until the baby is born, once youve recovered, you can come back to work."

The coach did not want me to leave either, because I was a gold medal nutritionist certified by the International Nutritionist Association and the athletes who had been through my treatment had excellent physical fitness.

"I've made up my mind, coach.

I had loved skiing since I was a child, but because I had no talent, I decided to become a nutritionist for athletes and got closer to this sport.

But that time, I thought it was time for me to give up, just like giving up Alden.

"You, hey, I know that Alden is a bit confused, but we all know his feelings for you. When you were together seven years ago, he confessed to you on the top of the snow mountain."

The coach smiled helplessly and approved my resignation.

If he did not mention it, I would have almost forgotten how fast my heart beat on the day Alden confessed to me seven years ago.

But feelings were like memories, they would fade with time.

When I got home, Alden still did not come back. A night had passed.

I clicked on Instagram and found that the members of the ski team had posted Instagram at the same time.

Nanette's Instagram was at the top, "To celebrate the award of my senior Alden, I will pay for everyone to go on vacation in Sanya! Ps: It is also to thank him for taking care of me all night last night. Woohoo, my alcohol tolerance is really too bad (blushing).

It seemed that Alden would not be able to come back in the next few days. I did not know when he would postpone the wedding as he said.

I held back the nausea that was coming up again and checked my email. I had received replies from many companies to my nutritionist resume that I sent not long ago. I replied to a large Swiss food manufacturer.

Because Alden seldom went abroad, after I went to Switzerland, the possibility of us meeting would be almost zero.

Only in this way could I let time slowly heal my pain.

After making the decision, I started to pack my things. As soon as I opened the suitcase, Alden came back.

He was wearing a sweatshirt with cute pictures printed on it. He always disliked such clothes for being childish.

At that time, it seemed that he did not dislike the clothes for being childish, but because I was the one who bought the clothes.

He was a little surprised to see me open the suitcase, so he asked, "Have you seen Nanette's Instagram?"

So, Alden thought I wanted to help him pack his luggage. How innocent he was.

Nanette got drunk last night and I stayed up all night taking care of her. She said she'd treat me to a meal to thank me, but she doesn't have much money, so I didn't plan on bringing you along. Lets just hold the wedding after I get back.

I paused. I did not expect Alden to report his whereabouts to me.

Since our relationship entered the later stage, he no longer reported his whereabouts to me like he did when we first started dating.

I did not say whether I agreed to pack his luggage or not. I just told him that the meal was in the pot.

I wanted to have a good talk with him about the breakup during the meal, but Alden came back just to confirm that I, a pregnant woman, was not angry.

He went into the house, picked up two pieces of clothes and left, "I won't eat. There's nothing to bring to Sanya. I'm leaving first as I'm running out of time.

He hurriedly answered a phone call and walked out.

The moment he closed the door, the Lego that we had built together when we first got together broke into pieces.

I stared at the pieces on the ground. We had built this Lego for a long, long time.

Alden said that he would do many, many things with me that required two people to complete together until he was old and could not do it anymore.

But he broke his promise. Since Nanette came, the people who played two-player games with him had become other people.

My relationship with Alden had long been broken like this Lego.

I got up, gathered the shattered pieces and tossed them into the trash can, along with the last bit of my reluctance.

Once I started, there was no stopping. I tore through the house like a storm, smashing and discarding our wedding photos and couple portraits from the wall, cutting up our matching outfits and tossing them without a second glance.

Even the gifts he once gave me, the dolls we had won together, they all met the same fate, swept into oblivion along with the memories.

When I packed up and dealt with everything, I realized that most of the things related to Alden were related to the time when we just fell in love.

And in the past two years, after Nanette came, I had very few memories of Alden and me.

Because of the severe pregnancy reaction, I was so tired that I stopped halfway through packing.

I touched my belly and could not help feeling sad, since I would go to the hospital to get rid of this child tomorrow.

Baby, you are torturing your mother like this, probably because you don't want your mother to make mistakes anymore, right? I muttered silently

When I was still thinking of my mother, my mother suddenly called me, "Katherine, what does Alden mean? I saw that his Instagram is on the hot search. Why is he hugging another girl?"

My mother's tone was cautious. She must have been struggling for a long time before calling me.

"Are you going to have your wedding or not? Why is he so confused!

I comforted my mother and opened Instagram after that.

She was right, Alden and Nanette were on the hot search.

They were athletes and had a certain degree of popularity on the Internet.

The moment they embraced under the shimmering seaside fireworks was captured by a passing netizen. The photo quickly spread online, with many expressing admiration for their love, openly saying they were deeply moved by the heartfelt scene.

Nanette also posted a message saying that they were celebrating her birthday and the fireworks were a surprise from his senior Alden.

It turned out that that day was Nanette's birthday.

But that day was also the anniversary of our seven-year relationship.

It was just that Alden had forgotten the anniversary for two years and I was almost forgetting about it too.

"Mom, Alden and I are not going to have a wedding. I plan to break up with him."

"What do you mean? You have been together for so long and have a child. Why don't you have a wedding?"

The incomprehension in my mother's voice made my nose sour.

Yes, after being together for seven years, how could Alden and I not go to the end?

My insistence again and again was rewarded by his canceling the wedding eight times.

In the end, I told my mother about my decision to have an abortion.

My mother was silent for a long time before she said, "My daughter, happiness is the most important thing. I will support all your decisions.

I did not cry when Alden left me and I did not cry when I was tortured by the pregnancy. But when I heard my mother's words, I fell on the sofa and broke down crying.

At night, just as I was feeling sleepy, Alden called me on video. At the same time, a courier knocked at the door.

I endured the discomfort and answered the phone.

It was noisy on Alden's end, but through the clamor, his warm voice came clearly, Wifey, todays our anniversary. Of course I didnt forget. If I calculated correctly, the gift I sent should have just arrived at your doorstep.

He ended with a soft chuckle, as if trying to melt away the distance between us.

I did not expect Alden to actually remember the anniversary, so I had no choice but to get up and get the gift. I opened the box and found it was an Hermes bag.

"Wifey, Happy Anniversary.

I did not know how to react for a moment.

Since we fell in love, Alden had never been a warm-hearted man who would give girls gifts they like.

So, every time he gave me a gift, I would laugh and cry.

I had liked this bag for a long time and I had told Alden about it many times, but he never took it to heart.

But he suddenly bought it for me as a surprise.

Although I could no longer feel happy for him, I was grateful to him for not telling him that I had bought this bag for myself a long time ago.

"See? I said that she would like it!"

Nanette's voice suddenly came from the other end of the video call. She smiled into the camera and said to me, "Miss Villegas, this straight man really doesn't know how to give gifts at all. What you received today is because of my recommendation. Do you like it?"

She wore exquisite makeup and looked stunning even under the unforgiving lens of the original camera. In contrast, pregnancy had taken its toll on me, my cheeks were swollen, my complexion dull and sallow, a far cry from the woman I used to be.

I subconsciously moved the camera away.

"Wifey, this time thanks to Nanette for reminding me. She has always wanted the out-of-print snow goggles at home. I will go home tomorrow. Can I give her that pair?"

Alden's tone was soliciting.

Then I realized that this so-called anniversary gift was just what Alden wanted to exchange for the out-of-print snow goggles.

He forgot that the pair of snow goggles was given to me when he won the championship for the first time.

I had always cherished it and I would not give it to anyone who wanted it.

But at this moment, I faced the phone and whispered, "You can take it tomorrow."

I would not take away anything Alden gave me anyway, so Nanette could get it.

Alden did not expect me to agree and a smile instantly broke out on his face. Nanette cheered and celebrated beside him.

After a while, he thought of me and whispered to me, "As soon as we come back tomorrow, we will go to get the certificate and we will hold the wedding the day after tomorrow. No matter what, this time, we will become legal husband and wife, okay?

I nodded, said nothing more and just hung up the phone.

I planned to tell him my decision after he came back tomorrow.

But the next day, after I waited for a long time, Alden still did not come back.

He only sent me a message, [Wifey, Nanette has a fever, so I took her to the hospital. How about we have the wedding first and get the certificate after that?]

Alden had never asked for my opinion like this.

But I did not plan to wait for the wedding because I did not know when it would come.

The ninth wedding still could not be held.

I did not reply to the message, but got in the car, went to the hospital and had an abortion.

The baby in my belly seemed to realize that I did not want it anymore and it left me without causing me much pain.

I boarded a plane to Switzerland that afternoon.

Before turning off the phone, I replied to Alden, [No need, Alden, I have already aborted the child. I will no longer be your wife. Let's break up and never see each other again from now on.]

And the next moment, my phone vibrated violently. It was Alden coming.

I pressed the power button without hesitation.
