After my wife abandoned me for the hundredth time, I let her lock up with the man

Scarlett Hayes dumped me again for Brandon Miller.

This time, it was at our wedding.

Watching her back disappear, a cold, digital voice echoed in my mind:

“This is the 100th time the Female Lead has abandoned you for the Supporting Male. Do you wish to relinquish your role as her Male Lead?”

“Yes.”

“You can choose a new Male Lead for the Female Lead.”

“Brandon Miller.”

Since these childhood sweethearts couldn’t let go of each other, I decided to lock them together forever.

“Because you were bound to Scarlett Hayes as her Male Lead by the System, you would always forgive her, no matter what she did.

“Now, you are free,” the digital voice continued.

“Can she bind me again?” I asked.

“No, she has no right to change the Male Lead again.”

...

When the conversation ended, I felt a profound sense of clarity, like a heavy fog had finally lifted from my mind.

Looking at the chaotic scene of family and guests below the stage, I steadied myself, took the microphone from the emcee, and announced:

“I deeply regret that this wedding cannot proceed. I apologize for any disruption or disappointment this may cause.”

The crowd quieted down.

“Ms. Hayes just announced a postponement, but I don’t agree.

“From today forward, our engagement is off. We go our separate ways, with no ties between us.”

The grand ballroom erupted in another uproar, following the bride’s unexpected exit.

I raised my voice,

“Additionally, all wedding gifts will be returned twofold. Thank you again for coming.”

With that, I bowed and walked off the stage, my steps feeling incredibly light.

She insisted on testing me for another two years.

Now, I was incredibly grateful for her decision.

After all, divorce wasn’t an easy process.

As I reached the last step, my parents came rushing towards me.

“Son, is what you said true? Have you really thought this through?” my mom asked excitedly, grabbing my hand.

She had always felt Scarlett and I were a bad match. Forget our family backgrounds, the main thing was she simply didn’t hold me in her heart.

But between us, I was always the one who loved more. My mom wasn’t happy about it, but she never forced her interference.

At this moment, she looked at me with hopeful eyes, wanting to confirm if her wish had finally come true.

My dad pulled her back, calmly saying, “He’s just saying angry things, don’t take him seriously. One call from her and he’d be crawling back, tail between his legs. You always believe him.”

The disappointment and helplessness in his tone were palpable.

Most people present probably thought the same as my dad.

The light in my mom’s eyes instantly faded. She murmured, “You’re right.”

In that moment, my heart clenched, a sharp, piercing pain.

When I had no bottom line in love, constantly giving in, wasn't that also a torment for my family, who loved me so much?

“This ...
