Stand Me Up? I'll Marry His Billionaire Uncle

[The Subtly Alluring & Cunning Tycoon & The Dazzlingly Cool Lawyer]

On the day Sunny Carrington and Tristan Lawson were set to register their marriage, he stood her up.

All because his stepsister—not related by blood—had returned to the country.

It was then that Sunny finally saw the truth: the first priority in Tristan’s heart had never been her, but the stepsister he cherished above all.

Tristan’s expression shifted uncomfortably when he noticed the woman who shouldn’t have been there.

“Sunny Carrington, didn’t we agree to reschedule the registration?”

A faint, sarcastic smile tugged at Sunny’s lips.

“No need. The engagement is off. I’m setting you free.”

Just as everyone thought this was merely a ploy to play hard to get—that in a few days, she’d come crawling back begging for reconciliation as she always did—

Something unexpected happened at Tristan and his stepsister’s wedding.

The enigmatic head of The Lawson Group, Stellan Lawson, made a high-profile appearance with Sunny Carrington by his side, his hand resting protectively on her shoulder.

A mocking smile played on his lips.

“My apologies. My wife and I are late.”

Tristan couldn’t believe his eyes—his ex-fiancée, whom he had broken up with just two months ago, was now his uncle’s wife!

One night, half-drunk and desperate, Tristan called Sunny, hoping to win her back.

Lowering his pride, his voice almost pleading, he whispered into the phone:

“Sunny, let’s get back together, please? I miss you.”

A cold, sharp voice cut through the line—

“Calling my wife at 3 a.m.? Are you out of your mind?”

Sunny, stirred awake by the call, furrowed her brow and mumbled in discontent.

To Tristan’s shock, he heard his stern and rigid uncle soothing the woman beside him with unparalleled tenderness:

“Go back to sleep, my love. Come here, let me hold you.”
