Mango A Romantic Fiction Novel Provided by PneumaSender FREE to Read Online
Chapter 6 They were married two days later. She figured that since the doctor had given her six months to a year, she wouldn’t bother with the long courtship or engagement. Dory had found the man she wanted and he was certain about her, too. So why delay? He wasn’t getting any younger and her cancer was reason enough to quiet the naysayers. If anything, there was one thing that her cancer had given her – her parents’ consent to this not-at-all-ordinary marriage. And as she told Hawthorne as they drove to their honeymoon hotel, “That’s another positive.” Lately, she was finding them around each corner, and she was smiling more than she had in years. “Dory,” Hawthorne said as they lay on the plush bed in their honeymoon suite on their wedding night, “did you ever think that just four days after meeting me, you’d be my bride?” She smiled. “And to think that the wedding wiped out half a million of your savings. Why did you do that? Anything would have been just fine.” “Dory, I know that Heaven won’t even be on a comparable plane to this earth, so you won’t be up there thinking, Oh, I missed out on a really nice wedding, but I wanted this for you anyway. You will only be married once, as long as I live anyway, and I wanted that wedding to be beautiful.” Then, smiling, he said, “I only wish I had been able to give you a better-looking groom.” Not taking the bait, Dory said, “Well, you know, I could always cut you out of the pictures. There’s all sorts of technology for that now. And then, I could add someone really hot.” He pushed her softly onto her back and pressed his lips against hers. “Someone really hot, huh?” She murmured yes into his lips. “Really?” he asked, kissing her thoroughly. When he pulled back to hear her answer, her voice was soft and breathy, “I think I’ll leave them just as they are, after all.” Hawthorne laughed. It seemed he did that a lot these days.
