Chapter 1236

#Cordy stared at John, watching as tears seemed to well in his eyes.

She was not sure if he was devastated that Wendy suddenly left him at the altar or over somethingelse.

Suddenly, she realized that she could not think straight, and her emotions were a mess.

For the first time, she had no idea what she wanted to do.

“Wendy’s right, and actually…” John said, gulping. “This wedding was prepared for you.”

Cordy’s heart skipped a beat, surprise showing in her eyes.

She thought Wendy running away from her wedding was expected, since Wendy was too self-indulgentto let go of the many vices the world had to offer.

She just did not expect John to prepare the wedding for her.

She was skeptical too, because John had no idea what Wendy was really like and therefore wouldnever anticipate whether Wendy would come to the wedding hall.

As such, Cordy felt a little repulsed.

If John openly admitted to being tricked and asked her to help him save face, she might have agreed toit-this situation was humiliating, after all.

And in polite society, he would be no different from being dead.

“Wendy and I…” John took a deep breath and continued, “were just putting up an act from the verystart.”

Cordy frowned-what act?

“I thought I could get you to take notice of me that way, even sympathize with me, given Wendy’sprivate life…”

John trailed off, since he should at least save Wendy some dignity where there were so many othersaround.

“I’ve been fantasizing that you would stop my wedding. But even if you did warn me, I could feel thatyou did so out of moral obligation and not because of me-you were just that kind.”

John looked into her eyes then, as if struggling to restrain his uncontrollable emotions.

“I prepared a script for Wendy for that video, wanting to use your sympathy so that you’d help me out ofthis pickle. I know you might’ve agreed to it, but I don’t want to keep pretending or to lie to youanymore.”

“Actually, I was hurting everytime I pretended to be dating Wendy because you didn’t seem to care atall, while I had to force myself to go through the pretext of dating another woman… I don’t want to hurtmy conscience anymore nor continue this act.”

“I love you, Cordy Sachs, and I’ve loved you from the start.”

“This wedding was made for you, which was why I never announced the bride… Even the bridal gownyou wore that day was yours, not Wendy’s,” he said, his voice choking a little with tears. “Will you marryme, Cordy?”

As he spoke, John went down on one knee, taking out the ring he prepared.

It was made for Cordy’s size.

She stared at it, and then at him, unsure what to do with his sudden proposal.

Although she clearly felt that he had changed and really felt for Wendy, he was telling her now that itwas just an act-to make her care and sympathize.

The wedding hall was silent as everyone waited, with Zoe left absolutely flustered.

Naturally, she knew John prepared this wedding for Cordy-to be precise, she, Jay, and even Richardknew who the real bride was.

From the start, their plan was to swindle Cordy into saving the day, even if it was a sham marriage.

That was why Zoe had no idea why John would suddenly admit to everything when they were just astep away from succeeding
