Jay's POV
Today is my wedding day… but it doesn't feel like one.
I am not ready for marriage—especially not with someone who is mentally unstable.
We reached the courtroom and started waiting for the groom's side.
After a few minutes, the door opened.
First, a couple in their 40s walked in—his uncle and aunt. Mom immediately went toward them and hugged his aunty
then someone else entered.
My groom.
Tall… handsome… sharp features.
He didn't look like someone who was mentally ill.
For a moment, I just look at him
He looked around innocently, like he was observing everything for the first time. Then his aunt leaned closer and whispered something to him.
He looked at me.And smiled
Softly… innocently.
I forced a small smile back.
He came and sat next to me.
After a few seconds, his eyes fell on my bracelet.
"Can I touch this?" he asked innocently.
For a moment… I felt something soften inside me.
His innocence… his cuteness…
I nodded.
He gently touched my bracelet and smiled, amused by the small sound it made. He looked so pure… like a little child.
Then our lawyer came and read some formal lines.
"Now, please sign here," he said.
For a second, I looked at Mom.
She came closer and whispered, "Your lola… remember."
I closed my eyes for a moment.
Then I signed.
Keifer took the pen next and signed too, his handwriting a little messy.
"You are now husband and wife," the lawyer announced.
I looked at him.
He was smiling softly.
Then his aunt came toward me.
"Welcome to the Watson family," she said warmly and hugged me.
I gave a small smile.
I looked at Mom… expecting her to at least say goodbye.
But instead, she turned to Keifer's aunt and said only one thing—
"When will the money be transferred to my account?"
And that…
broke my heart.
She didn't even say goodbye to me.
All she cared about was money.
We sat in the car.
Keifer was quiet.
After about fifteen minutes, he started to look sleepy.
"Are you sleepy?" I asked softly.
He nodded.
Then, without hesitation, he rested his head on my shoulder… and placed his hand lightly on my waist.
I froze.
I didn't know how to react.
"You're soft," he murmured… and slowly drifted off to sleep.
I just looked at his face.
So innocent for this world
I don't know when my hand moved toward his hair.
But slowly…
I started running my fingers through it.
