For a moment, Jamie couldn't understand what Jarrod meant. She grabbed his arm again and asked, “What's wrong? Did something happen that the guests couldn't make it?"

She thought it didn't make sense. Even if one or two guests couldn't come, it wouldn't be a problem. How could there be no guests at all?

Once again, Jarrod was silent for a while. Then he said, “Jamie, I'm sorry."

Jamie was even more confused. She didn't know what Jarrod was apologizing for, but it made her heart plummet.

She was so anxious that she clung to his arm tightly. She forced a smile and said, "Jarrod, it's okay if there are no guests. We can proceed with the wedding as planned. After all, I'm marrying you, not the guests or anyone else."

Although Jamie spoke calmly and confidently, the anxiety in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.

She felt deeply unsettled now. What was going on with Jarrod? Was he reluctant to marry her now?

Jamie did her best to force herself to dispel her unease. She didn't dare to think about it again.

They were going to get married soon, so she shouldn't entertain such negative thoughts.

Jarrod sighed deeply and said, "Jamie, there won't be a wedding." He sounded apologetic but firm. "I canceled it."

After Jarrod left the Oasis Apartment early this morning, he went to his other apartment to rest.

However, he kept having nightmares.

He always dreamed of Nicole covered in blood. Her two eyes, devoid of pupils, were like two bloody holes, staring intensely at him.

“Jarrod, I'm dead now. Are you happy?"

These words sent a sharp pain in his heart, jolting him awake.

His temples throbbed intensely, and his head ached so much.

Her previous words, "I will never be your mistress even if I die." kept ringing in his ears over and over again.

Finally, Jarrod succumbed to his feelings toward Nicole. He made a decision.

He canceled the wedding without telling Jamie.

Before any guests could arrive at the venue, he asked Alec to contact them and inform them that the wedding would not push through.
