Flash Marriage He Made My Jaw Drop Vivienne’s hands were slipping down around the big box she was holding. Just as she was about to drop it, a pair of hands suddenly caught it and a mellow voice sounded overhead. “I’ll do it.” Vivienne looked up, and the man in front of her placed the […]
Flash Marriage He Made My Jaw Drop Chapter 3 “Vivienne, did you get a fake certificate to fool me?” Mrs. Quinn read and reread the paper, unconvinced that this was really authentic. Vivienne pointed to the stamp. “Mom, it came straight from City Hall. It’s not fake.” “Well, where is my son–in–law then? Why hasn’t he come to see me?” Mrs. Quinn peered out the door and added, “I only asked you to go on the date and spend time with him. What’s all this for? Did you even get to know him?” “I thought you asked all about him. He works for Skyreach, which is a good job… he’s about thirty, and he’s good–looking…” Vivienne thought back on the details of her brief time with Damien. “He seems gentle enough. His parents died and he has no other immediate family members, so…” It was nice to not have to worry about a mother–in–law and sister- in–law, right? Mrs. Quinn let the news digest slowly. Even as she looked down at the marriage certificate, she wasn’t sure she’d made the right choice by forcing her daughter to get married. She didn’t understand that Vivienne had only rushed into this marriage to please her. She had cancer, but she’d kept that from Vivienne all this time. After her last relationship had fallen through, Vivienne had refused to go out with another man. Mrs. Quinn was worried that, when she died one day, Vivienne would be alone and have no one to take care of her, no one to help or hold her when things went wrong. That was why she’d been forcing her to go on blind dates, to find a reliable man to settle down and start a family with. Now that it was settled, though, it was useless to say anything else. “Vivienne, ask my son–in–law to come meet me here.” Mrs. Quinn sat down heavily. “I know you did this on your own, but he should still measure up to a mother’s standards.” “Okay, I’ll ask him tomorrow if he can come have dinner here,” Vivienne said. “Mom, I have to go out to the stall now. It’s hot outside and you don’t look too good, so stay home and rest.” She repeated her instructions a few times more before packing her things and heading out. She’d set up a stall at the Eastern Night Market to sell handmade jewelry, small pieces that she’d made herself. Her stall was a second–hand van she’d bought, and she set up regularly at 5 o’clock every day and closed at 11 o’clock sharp. When business was good, she would bring in about four thousand dollars a month. In Washington D.C., where every inch of land was worth like gold, this was more than enough for her to survive on. Vivienne had studied jewelry design, but after an incident a few years ago, no jewelry company was willing to hire her now. So she‘ d simply started her own business. When she set up her stall for the night, the market was already bustling. She took a second to send Damien a text message. My mother wants to meet you. Are you free to have dinner tomorrow? It went through, but there was no response. Business picked up shortly after, and Vivienne forgot all about it. Tonight was a good night for business. She sold over three hundred dollars worth of jewelry and closed the stall at 11, as usual. She was sitting in the back of the van counting the day’s earnings when her phone buzzed. I’m sorry, I’m going to NY for business. I’ll be back in a few days, and we can do dinner theh. Traveling for business was common in company work, Vivienne knew. Okay, she texted back. She packed up and returned home. Nothing in her life had changed, except for her being officially married now. Vivienne was extra busy over the next few days, going out early and coming home late, and she all but forgot that she had a husband. One night, she didn’t close the stall down until midnight, and it had started to rain. When she got out, she realized the car had broken down in front of her house. She would just repair it herself, she decided, climbing out with an umbrella to take a look. It wasn’t the first time the van had had
Flash Marriage He Made My Jaw Drop As Vivienne hurriedly turned to leave, Damien spoke up. “You never gave me your number. How can I contact you later?” Embarrassed, Vivienne pulled out her phone, and the two of them added each other on Whatsapp. Damien sent her his phone number. “Call me if you need
Flash Marriage He Made My Jaw Drop Washington, D.C. In a coffee shop, Vivienne Quinn sat down across from the man she’d agreed to go on a blind date with. She was astonished to see him in person. He was unexpectedly handsome. His facial features were impeccable, and even the way he sat exuded an air of
“It’s not difficult, Emily. You just need to find Mommy and Grandma then listen to them secretly. You can bring Yemon if you’re afraid.” Louis nodded, reassuringly. “Are you okay being left alone?” Emily’s voice was so sweet. “It’s okay. I can call Mommy if anything happens.” Louis tapped Susan’s phone on his lap with
“In all the time I’ve known you, I’ve only heard your panic twice. When your lover was sick and now,” Wela explained, half teasing. Frank’s jaw tightened again. He thought that Wela had valuable information, but apparently not? “I’m not panicking.” “You’re panicking inside, Frankie. Now, instead of denying it, you should explain your lover’s
Unexpectedly, Kara pulled the car door handle on the front passenger side. Frank stared wide eyed. He didn’t dare move. Because the car was locked, Kara knocked on the window. Frank’s heart skipped a beat like it was going to burst out of his throat. The tension within him now was much greater compared to
The next day, Kara didn’t smile or look friendly at all in the office. She’s like a female version of cold Frank Harper. When she entered the CEO’s room, Frank even raised an eyebrow. He didn’t like the aura Kara was emitting. ‘Did she deliberately change her image to keep me away?’ After clearing his
Silence hung in the air. Jeremy’s statement did make sense. That could be the main reason why Kara was trying to stay away from him. She did not want Frank to be a disobedient grandson. “You’re right, Jeremy. There must be a way to change Grandpa’s decision,” he muttered softly. His face showed firm determination.
Frank’s jaw throbbed. He had felt happy since he could see Kara again, have lunch together, and even hug her. But now, that feeling was gone. “Can’t you let me love you?” he asked quietly. “No.” Kara shook her head quickly. “I don’t want to be loved by a man who will marry another woman.
