I Gave Away My Groom at the Wedding

At our wedding ceremony, the four-year-old nephew of my fiance, Michael Thompson, suddenly rushes onto the stage. He grabs his uncle's hand and cries, "Daddy, why are you marrying another woman? Don't you want me and Mommy anymore?"

Seeing this, Lisa Jenner quickly runs over to intervene. She sounds apologetic, but her words are slightly provocative.

"I'm so sorry, Sarah. Danny lost his father when he was little and has always seen Michael as his dad. He didn't mean to cause trouble."

Even Michael remains completely calm as he picks up Danny. He explains to me, "Before David passed away, he made me promise to take care of his widow and child. I only let Danny call me 'Daddy' so he could have a normal childhood. You understand, right?"

As I look at the three of them, standing there like the perfect family, I laugh coldly and rip off my veil.

"This poor child has been through so much. How could I possibly steal his dad away?

"You know what? Why don't I just let Lisa take my place up here? Then you can have your happy little family of three."

I stood in my elaborate wedding dress in the center of the hotel banquet hall, bowing slightly to the guests gathered around.

The wedding venue fell into complete silence.

Michael Thompson's brow furrowed tightly as he said urgently, "Sarah, stop talking nonsense! Today is our special day. What happened earlier was just an accident!"

A sharp pain shot through my chest, spreading quickly throughout my entire body. I held back the tears in my eyes and looked at him.

"Michael, what does a four-year-old really know? Do you honestly think he could run up on stage and say those things without someone teaching him to?"

Michael remained silent. He wasn't stupid. He couldn't possibly miss that this was one of Lisa's schemes.

But even so, he still chose to protect his sister-in-law without hesitation, rather than me, the woman who was about to walk down the aisle with him.

So no matter how reluctant I was or how much pain I felt, I wouldn't swallow my pride and continue with this wedding. "Michael, let's break up."

Michael's eyes widened instantly. His face was filled with shock as he stared at me.

"Sarah, do you know what you're saying? I already explained everything to you. Danny's still young. I don't want him to realize that he doesn't have a father, so I let him call me 'Daddy.'

"But Lisa and I are completely innocent. There's nothing going on between us. Why are you
