Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 36

I never imagined that a man I had only met twice would want to marry me. Yet, the man I had dated for ten years had cheated on me.

Brandon's expression remained unchanged. He looked as serious as ever as he replied, "Don't people date to marry? Since you don't want to date, let's just get married."
