Читать книгу A Convenient Christmas Bride - Rhonda Gibson - Страница 3
Оглавление“I’ve decided to take you up on your offer.
“But before I say yes, I want you to know that I was engaged once before. My fiancé left town the night before our wedding and broke my heart. I can’t take that type of heartbreak again, so know this…I most likely will never love you. At least not the way a wife should love her husband.” She breathed out heavily. “There. I’ve said it, so if you don’t want to marry me after hearing this, I understand.”
Josiah’s heart went out to Anna Mae for her loss. But still it felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders. She didn’t want a real marriage, either. This was perfect. He laughed.
“You’re happy I won’t ever love you?”
“Yes. I want to be friends with you, but I can never love you the way I did my first wife.”
“Oh, I see.” Anna Mae nodded. “But I’d rather no one else knows that this is a marriage of convenience.”
He nodded in turn. Anna Mae laughed. “Good, then we can get married whenever you’re ready.”
Was it his imagination or did her laugh sound forced?
