My Fiancé and My Nemesis Swapped Souls

Perhaps seeing that they couldn’t reach us, both sets of parents started calling Gabriel in the evening.

Gabriel lied without batting an eyelid, spinning tales smoothly, pushing all the blame away and acting as if he were completely innocent.

“What’s wrong with your voice?”

To prevent the other side from recognizing Sylvester’s voice, Gabriel deliberately made his voice hoarse from the start.

“I caught a cold recently. Thank you for your concern, Auntie.”

I gave him a disdainful glare, truly not understanding how such an indecent person was considered a cold, aloof male god in school, and praised as mature and reliable at work?

“What are you looking at? What, do you have a secret crush on me?”

Noticing my gaze, Gabriel smiled at me after hanging up the phone.

Sylvester also shot me a profound look.

Being stared at until I felt guilty, I raised my foot and kicked Gabriel: “I’d rather secretly crush on a pig than on you!”

Embarrassed and angry, I got up and went upstairs to sleep.

However, before going to bed, thinking that tomorrow was the wedding, I still felt uneasy and wanted to find Sylvester to talk for a bit.

Just as I approached the door, I heard voices coming from inside.

I couldn’t hear clearly what he was saying, but he was using his real voice.

Back in school, he was in the dubbing club, so changing his voice was no problem for him.

Sylvester’s emotions seemed very agitated, and finally, he suddenly roared the name “Hazel”.

I froze. Was Sylvester calling Hazel this late at night?

Since when were these two so close?

“Why don’t you push the door open and go in?”

Gabriel appeared out of nowhere, standing so close that he startled me. Just as I was about to scream, he covered my mouth.

“Shh!”

Even though I didn’t make a sound, it seemed to have alerted Sylvester inside the room.

He heard the approaching footsteps and seemed about to open the door.

My brain short-circuited; I yanked Gabriel into the adjacent room and slammed the door shut behind me.

“What are you running for?”

Gabriel leaned against the wall, smiling at me leisurely.

I stood dumbfounded, only then realizing—right, what was I running for?

When I realized I had pulled him into Gabriel’s own bedroom, just as I was about to open the door, Sylvester’s voice came from outside: “Gabriel, were you outside my door just now?”

My hand twisting the doorknob froze.

Gabriel raised an eyebrow at me meaningfully: “Go out, why aren’t you going out?”

“…”

He dragged out his response to the person outside: “I never went out, what’s up?”

It was quiet outside for a long time before he spoke again: “Can I come in? I have something to talk to you about.”

Hearing this, I reflexively reached out and locked the door.

At this moment, if Sylvester saw me in Gabriel’s room, it would definitely cause misunderstandings.

Seeing my action, Gabriel laughed so hard he couldn’t stand straight: “Why are you locking the door? It’s not like we’re doing anything shady that can’t be seen. By doing this, you’re making it even more suspicious.”

“What are you saying? Are you busy?” Sylvester’s slightly doubtful voice rang out from outside again, “Never mind, you go ahead and be busy, I’ll go find Olivia.”

My pupils constricted: “…You can’t let him go!”

“Look at you, you won’t let him in, and you won’t let him leave. What do you expect me to do?”

He smiled in an extremely punchable way, doing it completely on purpose.

In the end, I swallowed my pride and hid inside Gabriel’s wardrobe.

“I told you I would handle that matter properly, don’t go too far! You knew she was here, you did this on purpose!”

As soon as Sylvester entered, he roared at Gabriel, startling me.

But Gabriel remained calm: “Handle it? How do you plan to handle it? The bad habits of men, once there’s a first time, there will be a second, just like cheat…”

“Shut up!”

Sylvester was rarely this flustered, acting as if he was afraid someone would hear something. I felt this was very abnormal, but before I could think deeply, I heard him lower his voice: “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re scheming. Let me tell you, you don’t mess with a friend’s wife!”

“All these years, I can say I have a clear conscience and haven’t done anything wrong by you. But Sylvester, what about you? Are you worthy of Olivia?”

“That is between her and me, you don’t need to worry about it!”

The two of them argued back and forth, and I squatted there until my legs went numb.

Finally waiting until Sylvester left in embarrassment and anger, Gabriel spoke up: “Little Olivia has been tired all day. If you have anything to say, go find her tomorrow.”

This commanding tone seemed to anger Sylvester even more: “I don’t need an outsider like you reminding me.”

Once the person finally left, my legs were completely numb.

As soon as Gabriel opened the wardrobe door, I lost my balance and fell outward, landing straight into his arms.

He chuckled softly: “Throwing yourself at me?”

I glared at him angrily. Just as I was about to push him away and stand up, he suddenly spun me around and pinned me against the wardrobe.

I was startled: “You…”

He leaned in close, his eyes burning: “Just now, hearing my conversation with him, what are your thoughts?”

“…What thoughts could I have? Let go!”

With all the bizarre things happening recently, and now Gabriel making such an ambiguous move, I really couldn’t take it anymore.

“You’re so smart, I don’t believe you didn’t pick up on anything.”

“Gabriel, I’ll say this one last time, take your salty paws off me.”

“These are your fiancé’s hands, are you saying this is harassment?”

“Let. Go.”

He didn’t move, his eyes filled with a playful smile: “Let me ask you an ethical question. If I kiss you using Sylvester’s body, would you consider that cheating?”

“…If you don’t let go, I’ll send you to meet your maker.”

I stayed calm, staring at him with darkened eyes. The distance was so close it was making me cross-eyed.

Finally, after a few seconds of a standoff, he shifted his hazy gaze, clicked his tongue in apparent boredom, and stepped back to loosen his grip.

I ignored him completely, and as soon as I was free, I bolted out without looking back.  

I absolutely despised his habit of exposing people and making them uncomfortable.

He had been like this since childhood, always putting people in situations where they couldn’t step down gracefully.

I don’t know how the parents of our three families discovered our hideout, but on the day of the wedding, as soon as I woke up, I heard a massive commotion downstairs.

When I opened the door, I bumped into Gabriel and Sylvester, both wearing solemn expressions.

“We’re doomed, my mom has a key, they just barged right in.”

I glanced at the six people lined up downstairs: “How about you two jump from the second-floor balcony and escape? As long as one of you gets away, this wedding can’t happen.”

“…Are you speaking human language right now?” Gabriel looked at me in disbelief, “I’m currently in Sylvester’s body. Even if you hate looking at me, you don’t need to take Sylvester’s life, right?”

Sylvester coughed. Just as he was about to speak, Gabriel’s mother unleashed her “lion’s roar” from downstairs: “Gabriel, get down here right now!”

Gabriel looked at Sylvester: “You go down? Little Olivia and I will run?”

Sylvester glared at him, then suddenly grabbed me and pulled me downstairs.

Gabriel panicked and hurriedly ran after us.

Seeing the three of us coming down together, with “Gabriel” holding my hand, the parents of all three families showed bizarre expressions simultaneously.

“Is this the reason you guys don’t want to get married?”

I froze and glanced at Sylvester next to me.

Sylvester also just realized and hastily let go, looking somewhat frustrated that Gabriel had angered him into a stupor, making him forget he was currently wearing Gabriel’s face.

“Mom, Dad, we will get married, but not right now.”

Sylvester, wearing Gabriel’s face, spoke with a serious and sincere expression.

The parents of the three families didn’t know what to think. They fell silent on the spot, their sharp gazes falling on me, then shifting to Sylvester and Gabriel.

After a long while, my dad spoke up: “You guys… what exactly are you thinking? Who is marrying who?”

This question made me want to bury myself in a hole; it sounded as if the three of us had some impure, ambiguous relationship.

“Dad, Sylvester and I don’t have any relationship issues.”

“No issues? Then why are you two standing so far apart?” My mom stared fixedly at me and Gabriel standing behind me.

Seeing the situation, Gabriel hurriedly stepped forward, putting his arm around my shoulder, pretending to be extremely intimate: “Not at all, our relationship is great. See, even when running away from the wedding, we’re together.”

Sylvester’s mother: “If your relationship is so good, why did you run away?”

Gabriel: “We told you the reason earlier. Our souls got swapped; we can’t get married right now.”

“Enough!” Sylvester’s father suddenly flew into a rage: “Sylvester, you’re becoming more and more foolish, making up this absurd lie. Do you take us adults for idiots?”

Just when the atmosphere was at its most tense, Hazel’s voice came from the door: “Why didn’t you guys close the door?”

Saying that, she didn’t even bother to greet anyone and just walked right in. Seeing the packed living room, she looked surprised: “Oh… did I come at a bad time?”

Mrs. Sylvester’s face stiffened: “Who are you?”

“I…” Hazel hesitated, looking at Gabriel who was wearing Sylvester’s face next to me.

My parents and Sylvester’s parents all showed subtle expressions simultaneously. Just as they were surprised and doubtful, Hazel suddenly smiled at me: “I’m Olivia’s good friend, Auntie and Uncle. My name is Hazel, nice to meet you.”

With that said, both families breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Sylvester’s mother was a suspicious person and didn’t completely let her guard down. She turned to look at me and Gabriel in Sylvester’s body: “It’s too late for the wedding banquet today, we’ve already canceled it. But you guys must come back with us now; you’ll get married in three days.”

As soon as this was said, Gabriel’s hand on my shoulder suddenly tightened, hurting me so much my features scrunched up.

On the other side, Hazel suddenly reacted strongly: “What? Getting married?”

With a shocked expression, as if unable to accept the truth, she staggered a step, accidentally bumped into the cabinet behind her, and fell to the floor

Her face turned pale as she clutched her stomach: “Sylvester, I… it hurts so much…”

As soon as those words came out, Sylvester rushed over almost without thinking: “Where does it hurt?”

Hazel froze, momentarily forgetting how to speak.

My eyes turned cold.

Hearing Hazel clutch her stomach and call for Sylvester, the parents of the three families had already secretly guessed something.

Among them, Mrs. Sylvester’s face was the ugliest.

But upon seeing “Gabriel” rush out, she breathed a sigh of relief.

On the contrary, Gabriel’s parents’ faces became extremely terrible.

“Gabriel, what exactly is your relationship with her?”

Gabriel’s mother was a straightforward person, asking whatever came to mind, intolerant of any cover-ups.

Sylvester, under Gabriel’s guise, looked troubled.

He frowned, delaying his answer, causing the people present to let their imaginations run wild.

I turned to look at Gabriel next to me. He had a face like he was watching a good show, standing there calmly and leisurely, as if none of this had anything to do with him. I was a bit confused: “It looks like you’re about to be misunderstood, aren’t you worried?”

“You’re weird too, aren’t you sad?”

I frowned deeply.

“Aren’t you curious about him and Hazel…”

“Shut up!”

We were whispering originally, but I suddenly raised my voice, and everyone who heard looked over at me.

My mom: “What’s wrong?”

I fiercely glared at Gabriel before managing a smile to answer: “Nothing.”

On the other side, Gabriel’s mother was still questioning: “Gabriel, since when did you become such a coward, not daring to take responsibility for your actions? Answer me!”

Gabriel’s mother’s “lion’s roar” successfully made both Gabriel and me tremble.

Over there, Sylvester slightly bowed his head, and finally spoke: “She is my girlfriend.”

As soon as this was said, Gabriel let out a soft “hmph”: “Using my identity to put on this act, you can tell just how shameless this guy is.”

I said nothing, only pressing my lips tightly together.

On the other side, Hazel, with an expression of shock and confusion, wanted to say something, but Sylvester seemingly afraid she would say the wrong thing, suddenly helped her up: “She’s not feeling well, I’ll take her to the hospital first.”

Gabriel’s parents’ expressions immediately turned ugly, but they couldn’t conveniently say anything more, letting them leave.

However, as soon as they left, Gabriel and I met with disaster.

The elders of the two families originally intended to take Gabriel and me back to the Sylvester household to keep a close watch, but after our fierce opposition, they reluctantly let us continue staying in Gabriel’s villa.

Even so, Mrs. Sylvester and my mom, to prevent us from pulling any more stunts and making them lose face in front of relatives and partners, sent a group of people to guard us inside and out.

They came in a hurry, and left in a hurry.

I looked at the security personnel outside in the yard, then turned to Gabriel: “What do we do now?”

“Go back and catch up on sleep, I’m so sleepy.”

Gabriel stretched. Just as he was about to leave, I grabbed the back of his collar: “You still have the mood to sleep?”

“What else is there to do if I don’t sleep?”

I choked, and he suddenly laughed, tilting his head to look at me: “Or, do you want to sleep with me?”

“…”

He suddenly took a step closer: “Sylvester just left, now it’s just the two of us here, a lone man and a lone woman, and we can’t go out. For these three days…”
