Dear Ex-Boyfriend, Please Stop Pestering MeChapter 1

My childhood sweetheart Juan Shaffer and I had been in a secret relationship for six years.

But my mother said she had chosen a suitable marriage partner for me.

I nodded obediently and agreed to the marriage.

It was because the day before, when I was dressed up and rushing to his birthday party, I accidentally overheard his conversation with his friends.

His friend said, “I heard that your first love is coming back to get married and you just watched her marry someone else?”

He sneered and said with a determined tone, “Impossible! As long as I am here, she will never be able to marry another man in her life.”

Another friend chimed in, “That's right. After all, she's been gone for six years and you've been alone for six years. Aren't you just waiting for her to come back?”

Thinking of their conversation yesterday, I looked at my mother with a faint smile and whispered, “Mom, Juan is the boss of the wedding company, why not let him take care of my wedding banquet.

“After all, we can trust people we know to do things for us.”

As my mother got my affirmative answer, the nervousness on her face changed in an instant.
