Dwight chose to lie .
Halsey’s tears suddenly fell , her heart sinking with disappointment . How could he lie to her , even now ?
Why ?

Dwight could hear her cries clearly , and his heart tightened . “ What’s wrong ? Are you crying ? Did something happen ? ”
All the guests were watching Dwight and Rachel , the center of attention for the wedding . But now , standing in front of the pastor , Dwight had abruptly stopped to answer a phone call . The guests began to whisper amongst themselves .
Rachel stepped forward and tugged at his sleeve , whispering urgently , “ Everyone’s watching . Whatever it is , you can call back after the wedding . ”
Outside , Halsey stood at the door , her voice shaky . “ What are you busy with? Are you busy getting married to Rachel ? ” Dwight’s pupils contracted, and he let out a sharp breath . “ You know ? Who told you ? ”
“ I’m standing right outside the door ! ”
What ?
Dwight looked up , and saw Halsey standing by the door . She stared at him through tearful eyes , and they locked eyes from across the room .
In that moment , time seemed to stand still .
Dwight had never imagined he’d see Halsey at his wedding . He had been keeping the truth from her , not wanting her to know until after today . He thought once the ceremony was over , everything would be settled .
But now , Halsey was here .
Halsey’s voice trembled . “ Why are you marrying her ? I don’t believe you’re really marrying her ! If you just give me one reason , I’ll believe you . ”
Dwight stammered , “ I – I … ”
At that moment , Jenson stood up from the crowd , clearly annoyed . “ Dwight , hurry up and finish the wedding . ”
Just then , a man in black hurried over . “ Mr. Field , the big shot is here ! ”
The big shot had arrived !
Jenson looked at Dwight . “ The man we’ve been waiting for is here . Finish the ceremony quickly and don’t keep him waiting . I’ll take you to him . ”
Dwight gripped his phone tightly . He couldn’t tell Halsey that the situation was dangerous – he needed to get her to leave .
“ You need to go home . ”
“ What about you ? ” Halsey’s voice cracked between sobs . “ Can’t you come with me ? I don’t want you marrying Rachel . I don’t want you marrying anyone else ! What am I supposed to do if you marry her ? ”
Dwight’s heart ached . In that moment , he wished he could grow wings and fly to Halsey , hold her , and comfort her .
If he took that step , neither of them would walk away unscathed . He had been patient and biding his time for so long , all for this day .
Yet , he couldn’t .

Dwight’s voice dropped low . “ Please stop crying . After I’m done here , I’ll come find you , okay ?
“ No ! I need you to come home with me ! This is your last chance . If you don’t come with me now , F
This was her final ultimatum .
That night , she had told him if he married someone else , she would walk way .
Halsey loved with everything she had , pure and fierce ; but if he ket lying to her , hiding things from her , and being with another woman , she couldn’t be with him anymore .
Dwight furrowed his brows “ I’m sorry , but I can’t leave with you right now . ”
With that , he ended the call .
Rachel , who had been watching quietly , finally sighed in relief . She had known it was Halsey calling and had feared that he would leave , but he didn’t :
