My Daughter Asked Me Not to Come to Her Wedding Because I’d ‘Embarrass’ Her – What the Groom Did at the Altar Left 200 Guests Frozen
Lauren lowered her hands.
“I don’t know.”
“Everyone had more.”
“Try.”
She breathed unevenly.
“College.”
“Why?”
“Everyone had more.”
“At first, I exaggerated small things.”
“More what?”
“Money. Connections. Parents with impressive jobs.”
“So you invented a story?”
“At first, I exaggerated small things.”
Ethan shook his head.
“And every lie needed another lie.”
“Then you met me.”
Lauren nodded.
“And every lie needed another lie,” she whispered.
She looked at me.
“When I saw your picture at their house, I panicked.”
“You kept me away because you were afraid I’d expose you.”
I finally understood.
“You didn’t keep me away because I would embarrass you.”
Lauren shook her head.
“You kept me away because you were afraid I’d expose you.”
“Yes.”
When she released me, she faced Lauren.
