Chapter 36：Sneak Peek: The Cornwall's Core

Barbara Brown's POV

After I heard Lea's speech about her sister's wedding, I could not keep my tears from flowing. It was so beautiful and memorable. She was one good speaker.

"toast," I shouted as she toasted for her sister and Amber came running at her. I smiled before I smiled at them.

My thought was distracted as I was in the reception of Lea and Alex's that Emily decided to throw at the very last minute. I have a few moments before I need to go. I have to find Lea. And tell her the truth but not all of them, of course. He hates that.

"so, listen. I have to go to the Bay Area after this," I said as she looked at me. I looked at her as I was nervous as a wreck.

"Okay, what for?" she asked me. I laughed before I told her the exciting news.

"I got into the program that I applied to. Hard but I got in!" I shrieked before Lea shouted as well. We were screaming as hugging and I cannot tell how happy I was.

"Yeah, so I will leave immediately tonight," I said as I was tucking her hair behind my ear.

"Yeah, yeah. Of course. Don't you need to pack? Why are you still here? go, go!" Lea said as I told her someone was waiting for her. I went out of the backyard and I saw his sleek car came to stop in front of me.

Lea was looking at me as if he recognized him as I was opening the door and I got inside before she turned as her husband came to look for her. I sighed before he decided to talk.

"ready, my love?" He asked as I looked at his gorgeous face. How will I make this marriage platonic as possible?

"as I will ever be, I think," I said as I looked at the envelope that he handed to me.

"Everything was in order. I only need your signature, Barbara," he said as he called my full name. Everyone only called me Barb but not him, he wanted to call me Barbara, just to spite me.

"fine, where should I sign?" I asked him as he drove off from the streets into the city.

"in front of the judge, we will be getting married right away," he said as he was driving like a pro.

"but we already married," I said to him but he just rolled my eyes.

Why do I have to get involved with Brandon Cornwall?
