Mary Redferne Chapter 17
Mary RedferneAs Mr. McKinnon stopped us in our tracks before we could make our escape, I shared a knowing look with Joseph. We were both aware of his obsession with appearances, even at a time like this."Joseph, Mary, we need some pictures with me for the papers to announce Joseph's marriage," Mr. McKinnon announced, his tone firm and authoritative.Why is he going to be in that picture? What a narcissist?Joseph and I exchanged a glance, silently hating the fact that we have to be around his unbearable uncle. With a nod, we followed Mr. McKinnon back to the altar, where the photographer was waiting impatiently."No, no. Right this way," Mr. McKinnon directed, leading us to a less extravagant area of the hotel. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at his insistence on micromanaging every detail for the sake of his son's image. As we posed for the photographs, Mr. McKinnon hovered over us, directing our every move with precision. It was clear that he was determined to ensure that Joshu

Mary Redferne Joseph and I headed home after the wedding, but instead of taking the car to his house, where I had stayed, we headed uptown towards his office. I fidgeted with my fingers in lap as the driver drove in the awkward silence. Joseph stole a few glances at me but didn’t say anything.I sat quietly in the passenger seat, my mind swirling with questions and curiosity. The silence stretched between us, heavy with anticipation and a touch of anxiety."Joseph, where are we going?" I finally voiced my question, breaking the stillness of the car."I made a decision for us," Joseph replied, his voice calm and reassuring. "I hope this actually makes you happy. I wasn’t sure how to go about it and I didn’t have a lot of time because of the rushed wedding. So its not fully ready and maybe that’s a good thing." His response brought a flutter of excitement mixed with nervousness.His words only fueled my curiosity further. What decision could he have made? And why the secrecy? Despite m

Mary RedferneI stepped into the master bathroom, my eyes widening at the sight of the extravagant bathtub before me. With a smile of anticipation, I reached for the container of lavender bath salts perched on the edge of the marble countertop, as I wondered who Joseph employed to make sure all the things I could possibly need were here.As I unscrewed the lid, the calming scent of lavender enveloped my senses, filling the room with its delicate fragrance. I took a deep breath, savoring the familiar aroma that never failed to bring me comfort.

Mary Redferne As I got ready in the morning, my mind was still reeling from the events of the previous night. I still couldn't shake off the frustration and disappointment I felt towards Joseph for taking Joshua's side a few weeks ago but that didn’t mean that I didn’t want ‘my husband’ to sleep next to me.Was I disappointed that Joseph chose to be a gentleman and not sleep in the same room with me?Yes I was.

I felt guilty that Joseph was sacrificing his time, waiting here with me while he was getting late for work.As I glanced at Joseph, who sat across from me with a patient expression, I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. Now, as we sat in the café waiting for her to arrive, I could see the faint traces of impatience flickering in his eyes."I'm sorry," I murmured, setting down my coffee cup with a sigh. "She's always like this, you know. I shouldn't have let you come with me."Joseph reached across the table, gently squeezing my hand in reassurance. "It's alright, Mary," he said with a warm smile.
