Mary RedferneAs I entered the café and spotted Judith waiting for me, a warm smile spread across my face. I rushed over to her and enveloped her in a tight hug, feeling a surge of joy at seeing her again. I loved this woman. She always makes me so happy.As we settled into our seats, Judith and I ordered our favourite coffee and pastries."Mary, I still haven’t processed the fact that you are a married woman now!" Judith exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she leaned in for a hug. I embraced her tightly, feeling a rush of affection."It's so good to see you, Judith," I replied as I felt the aroma of freshly brewed coffee entering my nose, "You look amazing!"Judith chuckled, a playful glint in her eyes. "Oh, thank you. I found this new salon. They gave me an amazing facial and also a complimentary manicure!” she exclaimed excitedly as she showed me her pretty red nails.“They look amazing, even I want to get mine done.” I tell her and her eyes light up.“Oh, we can go t

Mary Redferne As I engaged in conversation with Joseph's mother, Mrs. Lachlan, I couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and connection. Her easygoing demeanor and genuine interest in our conversation made me feel instantly at ease. Meanwhile, I noticed Joseph observing us from the corner of the room, his curiosity evident in his expression."It's been wonderful getting to know you, Mrs. Lachlan," I said, unable to contain my smile. "I feel like we've become fast friends already!"Mrs. Lachlan returned the smile warmly, her eyes twinkling with kindness. "Likewise, dear. You bring such joy to Joseph's life. He's fortunate to have you."Glancing over at Joseph, I noticed a hint of surprise on his face. "I'm pleasantly surprised by how well you two are hitting it off. My mother doesn’t get along with a lot of people," he remarked with a grin.I nodded in agreement, "Your mom is a wonderful person. I genuinely like her." I whispered as we went back to listening to Mrs. Lachlan story wher

Mary Redferne As I woke up to the sunlight streaming through the white curtains, I felt a pang of disappointment wash over me as I realized I was alone in bed. Joseph was already gone. I sighed, feeling a twinge of hurt that he had left without saying goodbye. Pushing aside my feelings, I got up and decided to start the day.Heading outside after brushing my teeth, I found my mother-in-law in the kitchen preparing breakfast. She smiled warmly at me as I entered, offering me a cup of tea."Good morning, dear," she greeted me. "Joseph left for work early. He didn't want to wake you. I hope you slept well."I nodded, trying to hide my disappointment. "That's alright. He must have had a busy day ahead."Mrs. Lachlan looked at me intently, sensing that something was amiss. "Is everything okay, Mary? You seem a bit off this morning."I forced a smile. "Oh, it's nothing, Mrs. Lachlan. I guess I am bit cranky in the morning.” I joke making her laugh a little.She didn't seem convinced but di

Joseph LachlanI observed the lively scene in my living room, where the laughter of three women echoed against the walls as they clinked their glasses. It was a mystery to me how my mom, Judith, and my wife had suddenly become the best of friends.Emerging from the kitchen, I addressed the giggling trio, "Alright, ladies, I get it, you had a blast at the party and there's juicy gossip to share. But let's save some of that for the morning, shall we? It's past 1 am, and you all need your beauty sleep." I offered my hand to my mom, helping her up from the couch."Alright, I'll turn in now. But I love you girls. I wish I had a daughter," My mom expressed, affectionately patting Judith and Mary's heads before giving me a pat on the head and heading to her room.Turning my attention back to the task at hand, I pulled Mary up to her feet from the couch so I could transform it into a makeshift bed for Judith. "Come on, Mary, you need to get some sleep as well," I said, gently coaxing her up w

Mary Redferne I bit my nails nervously as I sat at the breakfast table, hoping I had taken Joseph’s advice on leaving my sister alone. He was right; she was blinded by love and didn’t really care about anything but him. She was so blinded that Joshua actually managed to convince her that I am the villain. I couldn’t get over how she talked to me. I didn’t understand why money changed people so much. Clara, for the first time in her life, was being showered with money and expensive gifts, and she was equating that with love.Joseph noticed my distress, his concerned gaze piercing into me as I looked up and offered him a weak smile. "Mary, what's wrong? You went to sleep as soon as you came home." he asked, his voice laced with worry, “you’ve barely eaten anything.”I forced a smile, my heart pounding in my chest as I searched for an excuse to evade his questions. "Oh, it's nothing, just missing my family," I wasn’t exactly lying; I did miss my family. The family I had before we got i
