Her Precious Baby

Angeline couldn’t suppress her temper anymore. A feeling of rage surged up inside her upon the mention of her parents. She wanted nothing more than to rush up the stage and expose Joseline’s true colors.

She’s not worthy!

However, Angeline forced herself to calm down. Hang in there. Joseline will be forced to show her true colors soon. I just have to take things one step at a time, and I’ll be able to turn the tables.

The officiant then introduced the vows.

“Do you, Joseline, take Hanson to be your lawfully wedded husband, to live together in matrimony, to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, to have and to hold, from this day forward, as long as you both shall live?”

Joseline’s heart was filled with joy as she hurriedly nodded. “I do!”

“Do you, Hanson, take Joseline to be your lawfully wedded wife, to live together in matrimony, to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, to have and to hold, from this day forward, as long as you both shall live?”

Hanson froze. His gaze swept over the audience and landed on Angeline.

Pain lanced through his heart when he saw the utter indifference in her eyes.

Does she… really not care?

For a moment there, Hanson did not reply.

Joseline’s face fell as she felt the gazes of bafflement from her guests. “Hanson!” she whispered.

It was only then that Hanson returned to his senses. “I’m sorry. Can you repeat that?” he apologized.

This time around, Hanson replied without missing a beat after the officiant repeated the vows. “I do.”

Those two syllables were drawn-out and spoken without emotion.

Nevertheless, Joseline did not care. All she wanted was to seal the deal and realize her dreams of marrying Hanson.
