On Our Wedding Day My Husband Announced His First Love Online-Chapter 150: Husband...

Hearing the word "hubby," I felt my face turn completely red. I grew even more flushed listening to Chloe instantly start screeching into the phone like an ape.

"Oh my god, oh my god! I can’t take it! Holy crap, I never knew Master Forrest was such a flirt in private! No wonder you can’t resist him, Chelsea! No one could handle that kind of charm..."

Seeing Sebastian’s intense gaze fixed on me, as if he were still waiting for me to say "hubby," I desperately wanted to hang up the phone.

"Chloe, you... stop talking nonsense. I’m hanging up. I’ll talk to you another day."

"No, wait! I’m not done gossiping! It’s the middle of the day. Master Forrest isn’t planning on getting busy in broad daylight, is he? Hehehe..."

Listening to Chloe get more and more outrageous, I felt like my face was hot enough to cook an egg. "I’m hanging up now."

Before Chloe could say another word, I hung up.

Just as I was about to go find a place to cool off, a hand suddenly grabbed my wrist. "Where are you going, my wife?"

"I... I’m just stepping out for a bit. It’s too hot in here..."

But Sebastian didn’t let go. "Be a good girl, Chelsea. Let me hear you say ’hubby’."

I flushed beet red with embarrassment. "No."

"My wife..." He drew out the word with profound affection, his deep, alluring voice brimming with a vibrant tenderness that was impossible to resist.

My body tingled as I met Sebastian’s deep, ink-black eyes, which felt like an ancient well threatening to pull me in and drown me whole.

"We’re legally married, you know. It’s official," Sebastian continued to coax me. "Just say it once. How about just one time?"

’His earnestness actually made me feel a little bad. It’s just a perfectly normal term of endearment, after all!’

’Besides, we’re already registered. Sebastian is my legal husband.’

After giving myself a good pep talk, I finally took a deep breath. "Hubby..."

The word had barely left my lips when a smile bloomed on Sebastian’s face. It held a kind of bewitching magic that left me stunned.

"Here."

After a satisfied sigh, Sebastian slowly lowered his head, and I felt the warm press of his lips on mine.

I subconsciously tried to push him away, but he caught my hands and pressed them against his chest.

"Don’t be afraid. It’s me."

Sebastian wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into his embrace. For a moment, I felt completely enveloped by the scent of agarwood.

It was like an intoxicating fragrance, making me feel as if I were in a mysterious sea of flowers, tempting me to explore its depths.

I wanted to gasp for air to clear my head, but every breath was filled with his scent, plunging me back into a fresh wave of intoxication.

Just then, the ringtone from the phone in my pocket blared unexpectedly.

The sudden sound made me snap my eyes open. The handsome face of the man before me was magnified...

"Mmph, the phone..."

My face burning, I quickly pushed him away, feeling impossibly hot all over.

’What... What is wrong with me?’

’Have I gone crazy?’

’To actually—’

In my flustered state, I clumsily answered the phone, only to be met with a sharp, accusatory question. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Chelsea Joyce, did you register your marriage with Sebastian Forrest?"

’It’s my mother-in-law...’

’No! My *ex*-mother-in-law, Hailey Langley.’

Somehow, any trace of the romantic mood that had filled my heart vanished completely.

I turned and took a few steps away before speaking. "Is there a reason for your call?"

"You have the nerve to ask why I’m calling?" Hailey Langley’s voice was filled with disbelief. "You used to be the daughter-in-law of our Grant Family, and now you dare to remarry? Are you insane?"

I froze, and after a few seconds, I could only shake my head and give a bitter smile.

’I thought I had already seen Hailey Langley’s true colors, that she was only nice to me because I was Theodore Grant’s wife—one of her own.’

’So, even when I later realized her kindness wasn’t directed at me personally, I was disheartened for a moment but could still understand her perspective. Deep down, I still held some affection for her after she had looked after me for more than two years.’

’But I never imagined that my remarrying would cause Hailey to lose her composure so completely. She wasn’t treating me like a person at all, just an object!’

’So, it was perfectly fine for Theodore to remarry—to hold an engagement party with Clara Langley on the very same day he got a divorce certificate from me—while she joyfully prepared to be a mother-in-law all over again.’

’But when it was my turn, I was the one who was ’insane’?’

When I didn’t respond, Hailey continued, "Do you have any idea that when my son heard you remarried, he locked himself in his room and drank himself into a stupor? How can you toy with his feelings like this? Don’t you feel the slightest bit of shame?"

I laughed out of sheer anger. "Then let me ask you, back when Theodore Grant and Clara Langley got engaged, why didn’t you go ask them if they felt any shame?!"

"That was all because of that bitch Clara Langley!"

Hailey gritted her teeth. "It serves that bitch right to be in prison!"

I couldn’t help but press my lips together. I had only learned about what happened to Clara Langley by chance when I saw the news later.

Clara Langley was initially charged with attempted kidnapping and murder, a crime serious enough to land her in prison for several years.

As the saying goes, everyone likes to kick someone when they’re down.

Soon after, someone exposed that Clara had evaded hundreds of millions in taxes. Not only were all of her personal assets frozen, but even the businesses under her mother’s name were seized.

Clara Langley had now become a true criminal celebrity.

It was unlikely she would ever get out of prison in this lifetime.

She was a pariah whom everyone despised; I couldn’t even be bothered to say her name anymore.

...

"My marriage is my own business. It has nothing to do with the Grant Family, and it certainly has nothing to do with you," I said in a calm tone. "You shouldn’t call me anymore..."

I paused, then added, "Even if you do, I won’t answer."

"Chelsea Joyce, you—"

But before Hailey Langley could finish her tirade, I hung up.

"What’s wrong? Who was that?"

Just then, a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind. The man leaned over, resting his chin gently on my shoulder. "Who dared to make my wife so angry?"

"It’s nothing now." I simply turned off my phone, stuffed it in my bag, and decided not to take any more calls.

But, as fate would have it, Sebastian’s phone started ringing right at that moment.

I glanced at it instinctively and saw the caller ID: two words—Goldfish Brain.

"?"

’Goldfish Brain?’

’Who’s that?’

Just then, Sebastian lazily answered the phone. "Yeah, what’s up?"

"Damn, you move fast, you bastard! You actually went and got married?! So much for playing the devoted saint, huh?"

I then recognized the voice on the other end of the line—it was Jude Miller, Dr. Miller.

’So *he* was Goldfish Brain...’

"Screw you!" Sebastian swore with a laugh. "Spit it out, what’s up?"

"I’m not looking for you. I’m looking for Miss Joyce."

Sebastian immediately bristled. "What do you want with my wife?"

"It’s not me, it’s my mom..."
