He rejected the “beautiful” sister and chose the one most would overlook

She was never meant to be chosen. He married her not for love—but to avoid it. She was the plain sister, the overlooked one. But what he never expected was that the very woman he tried not to love… would become his entire world. This slow-burn Victorian romance unfolds with quiet emotional power, tender moments, and a love that grows not through passion, but through presence, sacrifice, and earned trust. From whispered truths to held hands in the dark, this is a story of what happens when two people stop running—and choose to stay. 💛 Enjoying the content?
