what's your choice?

The Johnson family runs a restaurant, while the Smith family specializes in transportation. In this interstellar age, fresh fruits and vegetables are scarce commodities.

However, the Smith family has connections that enable them to procure large quantities of fresh produce for the Johnson family, who are also frequent customers, leading to a mutually beneficial relationship.

Over the years, the relationship between the two families has been very close, largely due to this arrangement.

However, a crack has appeared in this close relationship now, all because of the marriage of two younger members of the families.

After some consideration, Amelia decided to answer Alexander's communication.

As soon as he answered, he questioned her in a hostile tone, "Amelia, why are you marrying someone else?"

Amelia laughed, "Alexander, I'm not marrying someone else; otherwise, I'd end up randomly married to a man. You stood me up, so what right do you have to question me?"

Alexander seemed to be very emotional. After a while, he suppressed his feelings and said, "I had my reasons. I couldn't stand by and watch. Forget it, it's my fault for not coming back in time. Amelia, divorce that man, I don't mind."

Amelia was shocked.

This guy had some nerve!

Amelia said, "Why don't you ask whether I mind you? "

Alexander was a bit puzzled. He always thought their relationship was good, so he naturally said, "Yesterday's guy, he was someone you found temporarily, right?"

Amelia didn't answer him, nor could she reveal Ethan's identity.

She suddenly asked about something else, "Where's Charlotte?"

"Charlotte went back to District Three with me this morning. Amelia, I'll come over to you now. I'll accompany you to divorce that man, then we can get married."

"Forget it! Do you want to marry Charlotte? Fine, if you're not going to talk about the Johnson family's restaurant, then let's end this call!"

Amelia hung up directly.

She had thought before that Alexander and Charlotte might have something going on, and if they were truly in love, she would genuinely wish them well.

After all, a scumbag and scumbag woman were a perfect match.

But who would have thought that Alexander would come and disgust her too!

Enough!

Just then, there was another beep from the microcomputer.

Amelia angrily picked up and scolded, "Alexander, have you no shame? You ditched me for Charlotte, and now you're coming to marry me again? What's the meaning of this? Do you want to have both of us sisters?"

"Who's talking about having both of you?"

Hearing the cold, low voice on the other end of the microcomputer, Amelia was suddenly stunned!

The voice was somewhat familiar but unfamiliar!

She quickly glanced at the microcomputer, and the displayed name was: Ethan?

Amelia: !!!!!!!!!!!

"Amelia?"

"Here!" This answer was reflexive, and Amelia regretted it as soon as it left her mouth.

But then she thought, she had already done something much more regretful with Ethan.

So, this answer wasn't a big deal.

What's done is done...

However, Ethan on the other end of the communication remained silent, whether lost in thought or startled by Amelia's response.

But Amelia, with a determined heart, spoke up, "Commander Ethan, I'm sorry. I was in a hurry to get married yesterday, so I did that. If you're not happy with it, we can divorce immediately, and I can compensate you. As for your vulnerable period..."

"Beep beep beep beep."

Amelia: ...

The AI assistant AC kindly reminded, "Master, the Master has hung up the communication."

Amelia remained expressionless. "I know! Also, what does 'Master' even mean?"

AC: "Ethan Commander's AI refers to you as 'Madam,' so naturally, I refer to Ethan Commander as 'Master.' This is a system default title, it won't go wrong."

"Change it!" Amelia said firmly, "Change it to Ethan Commander!"

"Alright."

Amelia stared at the microcomputer, which was as silent as a chicken, for a long time before finally summoning the courage to send a message.

Amelia: Commander Ethan, I apologize for last night. And you helped me, and I helped you. We're even now.

Amelia: So, what's your choice?

After a long, long time, Ethan's message finally came back.

Ethan: Let's talk in person.

Amelia: ...

Nowadays, it's the interstellar era, technology is so advanced, what can't be done with messaging, calling, or even holographic chats?

Talking in person...

A million reasons why Amelia didn't want to meet Ethan flashed through her mind!

But no matter how many messages she sent afterwards, all of them were met with silence. It seemed like he had made up his mind not to reply.

Amelia looked up, feeling like the sword of Damocles was hanging over her head.

Forget it, let's just assume that Commander is very busy and doesn't have time to deal with her right now.

The wedding was over, Henry had returned to Beylincoln University, and Isaac had left too, reportedly preparing for his own concert.

And at this moment, Charlotte, who had spent a few days in the hospital, returned.

Unlike Amelia's sweet and lovely appearance, Charlotte had delicate features that made her seem very gentle, but her gaze was firm, showing that she was someone who could endure hardships.

Whatever she wanted to do, she would work hard to achieve it.

In summary, Charlotte wasn't as pretty as Amelia.

But she was very deep in thought. Just after returning to the Johnson family, she limped her way to Amelia's room, tears streaming down her face.

"Sister, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Otherwise, Alexander would have definitely made it to the wedding!"

"I deserve to die."

"Sister, I'm not asking for your forgiveness. I just hope you and Alexander can reconcile."

"If you two break up because of me, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life!"

The scent of a scheming woman filled the air, making Amelia cough twice. She quickly helped Charlotte, who was crying with tears in her eyes and a limp leg.

Amelia said earnestly, "Charlotte, speaking of which, I have to thank you for helping me find true love."

Charlotte was stunned. "True love?"

"Yeah, because Alexander couldn't make it back, I had to marry someone else, and then, I fell in love with someone at first sight, and we got married." Amelia's face showed a shy smile.

But inside, tears silently flowed.

Falling in love at first sight was real, but this true love was doomed not to last.

Charlotte looked at Amelia's expression, which was not fake at all, and was instantly stunned.

She staged this ploy of pretending to be wronged just to take everything away from Amelia, didn't she?

But now... how did love at first sight suddenly come up?

Charlotte said in astonishment, "Sister, what are you talking about? Aren't you in love with Alexander? You two are childhood sweethearts, inseparable since childhood!"

You're giving up so easily, which makes me feel very unfulfilled!

Amelia nodded, carefully recalling everything that happened that night. She said, "He was too handsome, I've never seen such a handsome person before. And he loves me, cherishes me. Hey, you haven't married yet, why am I telling you this?"

Charlotte: "..."

Suddenly, the broken leg hurt even more, and not just the leg, but also her face.

She forced a dry smile, "Sis, you're really not with Alexander anymore? You know, our families' alliance is good for our Johnson family restaurant. Will your actions affect our family business?"
