A faints mile curved Wendy slips She s a legend in her own rights oI want to meet her
Angela nodded Alright let s goto Vista Dining and meet her
Just then Bella called out Mommy let s paint together
Okay come on Wendy replied warmly I ll take you to paint
Wendy then took Bella with her to paint
StanleymovedclosertoAngelaandloweredhisvoice.”Mom,I’mnotgoingtomarryJessica.Shekidnappedyou andBella,andcausedallthistrouble…Youwouldn’tmakememarryher,wouldyou?”
Disappointment flickered in Angela s eyes as she recalled Jessica
In ever imagined she could do something like this I m really disappointed in her But the engagement between you and Jessica was arranged by Brittany and me years ago If we want to call it off we have to ask Brittany s opinion first 2
Angela still couldn t understand how her best friend could have a daughter with such a terrible character
ButsinceBrittanywasherclosestfriend,andgivenhowlongshehadbeenmissing,bothfamilieswouldhavetositdownandtalkfacetofaceiftheywantedtoend theengagement.
Stanley glanced at Wendy and Bella not faraway I m going to marry only Wendy in my life She healed your legs she s done you a big favor I hope you ll stop making things hard for her
Don t be ridiculous Angela replied with a smile When have I ever made things hard for Wendy As a fellow woman I respect her talent and character Our paths are just different I have my reasons to treat her the way I did
Stanley nodded he knew his mother was a wise and thoughtful woman Everyone saw things from their point of view and that shaped their choices
“NowthatBrittanyisback, everythingdependsonhowshefeelsaboutit.ButIadmit–IdolikeWendyverymuch,andI’mgratefulshehealedmylegs,”Angelasaid.1
Stanley s eyes brightened It seemed Wendy had already won his mother s approval
“We’vebeenapartforthreeyears.Idon’twanttobeapartfromherever again.Eventhoughshe’sstillwithSamuelfornow,that’snotaproblem.”
Angela paused suddenly remembering something Bella had said Actually Wendy and Samuel aren t married
What Stanley froze shocked The yaren t married How could that be Wendy told me they were
“Sheliedtoyou.Bellatoldmeherself–Wendy isn’tmarried.Bella’sonlythreeyearsold,andkidsdon’tlie.”
Stanley was stunned He had always thought Wendy and Samuel were married he couldn t imagine otherwise After all their daughter was already this big surely they d have given Bella a proper family
Sounds like there s more to this I ll have someone investigate this right away he said
Angela nodded Yes I ve always felt like Wendy was hiding something from us You need to find out the truth
