Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival by Jobet GraySon

Chapter Twenty

Third Person POV.

Martha stared at Richard, her eyes widening in surprise. Her son had always made it clear that

marriage was not in his plans. So when he suddenly announced that he was getting married in a week,

it came as a shock. She couldn’t help but question if she had heard him correctly.

“What are you talking about, Richard?” Martha asked, her voice tinged with disbelief. “Getting married?

Richard maintained his composure, meeting his mother’s gaze with a calm resolve. “I understand this might have come as a surprise, Mom. But yes, I am getting married in a week. I just thought you and

The air was thick with confusion as he voiced his skepticism. “Richard, why the sudden change of heart? And why does the marriage have to happen in

that would inevitably follow his announcement. He mentally prepared himself for the lies he would respond with, knowing very well that he could not afford any slip–ups that would make his father

suspicious.
