Marrying Mallory Read Online Free

reason which I hadn’t wanted to
mention back then. Because I was self-conscious about my big nose, I noticed
Jeremy’s. I figured if we actually got married someday, our kids would have big
noses like us.” What if God had meant for her to marry Jeremy and she
hadn’t listened to Him? But out of her marriage to Toby, she’d been
blessed with a wonderful son.
    “I think he’s attractive and he has so much charisma. I bet
a lot of women in his congregation would love to go out with him.” Heather
wiped her lips with a napkin. “Jeremy told me how he called you a week before
your wedding.”
    She laughed. “I was afraid to tell you and Elizabeth about
his phone call. It was a big surprise to hear from him and an even bigger one
when he asked me if I was sure that I didn’t want to be a minister’s wife.”
    “Well, apparently he never got over you.”
    “You didn’t tell Elizabeth about seeing Jeremy, did you?”
She took one look at Heather’s guilty face and knew she had. “Great, you did. 
Now Elizabeth will try to get me to go out with Jeremy.”
    “I wish I had guys interested in me.”
    “You have and will again. The right one didn’t come along
yet.”
    Heather sighed. “Thanks for not mentioning my broken
engagements. I’m thinking of trying one of those online dating services. What
do you think?”
    “A teacher at my school did online dating and she ended up
marrying a guy she met on the Internet. They’ve been happily married for almost
three years.”
    “Would you sometime help me pick a photo to post?”
    Maybe Heather wouldn’t need to spend money and sign up for
online dating. She wondered if Heather could be interested in dating Jeremy
herself. Her friend had definitely noticed how attractive Jeremy was today. She
wouldn’t mention the possibility now but definitely would steer Heather in
Jeremy’s direction. “Sure. I have some cute pictures of you. We can do it
tonight. It’ll be fun.” 
    Heather grinned. “If you ever change your mind about going
out, you might try signing up on a dating site too.”
    “Hey, did you and Elizabeth dream up this online dating to
get me interested in it?” She wouldn’t put it pass Elizabeth to put Heather up
to it.  
    “No, it’s not a ploy to get you signed up. I want to meet
someone soon.” Heather sighed. “But Elizabeth has another plan for you. I might
as well warn you that she’s going to call you soon about having a dinner party.
She’s inviting Jeremy. Why shouldn’t you have a fun evening and reconnect with
an old friend?” 
    “It’ll be nice to see Jeremy, but he might not be looking
for a chance to hook up with me. Just because he asked about me doesn’t mean
he’s interested.”  
    Why couldn’t her friends let up on the dating issue?
Instead they put wasted effort into arranging a party for the sole purpose of
fixing her up with Jeremy. They knew that she didn’t want to remarry.
    Heather gave her a broad smile. “I bet your
great-grandfather is up in heaven rooting for Jeremy to be your next husband.”
    “I’m not sure he’d want me to marry Jeremy now, but since
great-grandfather was a minister you could be right. He might think Toby had
his chance to be saved during our marriage. One good thing about marrying a
minister is prayer and Bible study would be part of your daily life. I think if
Toby and I had prayed and read the Bible, we’d still be together. Maybe that
wouldn’t have been enough, and he might have cheated on me anyhow. I do wonder
if I could’ve forgiven him for his affair with Lacey if we’d still be
together.” But according to the Bible,  I had the right to get a divorce
because Toby committed adultery.
    Heather stood and walked to the dishwasher. “You were so
broken when you found out about the affair. I think it’s better that you two
decided to get divorced.”
    “And now Toby is already interested in Samantha. I’m hoping
Josh will adjust soon to the divorce. It’s been
