How my EX-HUSBAND became my BOSS

Chapter 20: Mary and Tom plan for the future

Mary and Tom were sitting in the cozy living room of their house, looking out the window at the sunset. The sky had turned a warm orange and pink, and the rays of the setting sun were softly illuminating the room. There was a sense of calm and intimacy in the air that they valued so much in these moments together.

Tom took Mary's hand, stroking her fingers gently. He felt it was important to express his thoughts clearly and sincerely right now. Mary looked at him with a faint smile, her eyes filled with love and a hint of concern. She knew this was going to be a serious conversation, and she was preparing for it, even if she was a little worried.

"I've been thinking a lot about our future," Tom began, looking into her eyes. "About how we can build a life together, despite all the obstacles we've had to overcome."

Mary nodded, squeezing his hand. She was pleased to hear these words, but at the same time, she knew that there were still many difficulties ahead.

"I've been thinking about it a lot, too," she said. - Our history is not easy, and I know that people around us do not always approve of our choice. But I want to be with you, Tom. I am ready for the fact that we will have to face misunderstanding and condemnation more than once."

Tom smiled, feeling the warmth spread across his chest. He was glad that Mary shared his thoughts and feelings.

"Then let's take the next step," he said, looking her straight in the eye. "Let's get married."

Mary paused for a moment, as if trying to process what had been said. Her heart beat faster, and she felt tears welling up in her eyes.

"Are you serious? - What is it? " she asked, barely able to contain her emotions. - Do you want to marry me?"

"Yes," Tom said firmly. - I want you to be my wife for real, not only in our hearts, but also legally. I want to build a family with you, raise children, share the joys and sorrows. I love you, Mary, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

Mary couldn't hold back her tears. She snuggled up to Tom, hugging him, and whispered:: "I agree. I want to be your wife too."

They sat together for a long time, enjoying the moment and realizing the significance of their decision. Tom and Mary knew that there were new challenges ahead of them, but now they were sure that together they could overcome everything.

The next day, they started discussing the details of the upcoming wedding. Mary wanted the ceremony to be modest, but at the same time memorable. Tom supported her ideas, offering his own options and trying to take into account all the wishes.

They decided to hold the wedding in a small country hotel, where they could invite the closest people. Mary started picking out a dress, and Tom started organizing the venue and menu. They discussed each step together, sharing their thoughts and feelings.

But despite the joyful preparations, they couldn't completely ignore public opinion. Rumors and gossip were still circulating in their professional and social circles. Mary sometimes caught sidelong glances, and Tom noticed that some of his colleagues tried to avoid direct communication.

However, they tried not to let it affect their mood and decisions. They understood that the main thing is their love and desire to be together, and the opinion of others is only a secondary factor.

In the process of planning their wedding, Mary and Tom realized once again how much they trusted and supported each other. They discussed how they will build their family, what values they want to put in the foundation of their relationships, and how they will raise their children.

Tom said that he wants to be not only a loving husband, but also a responsible father who will teach children to appreciate family, love and honesty. Mary shared her thoughts on how important it is to create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort in the house, where everyone will feel safe and loved.

Every day their decision seemed to them more and more correct and natural. They felt that their love had grown stronger after being tested by public opinion and personal doubts.

When all the main points of the wedding were discussed, Mary and Tom decided to announce their decision to their loved ones. The reaction was different: some were genuinely happy for them, some were still doubtful, but Mary and Tom didn't pay much attention to it. They knew that the most important thing was their feelings and the desire to be together.

As the wedding day approached, tension and excitement grew, but at the same time, confidence in the correctness of the decision was growing. Mary and Tom knew that their journey was just beginning, but they are ready for any challenges, because now they have the most important thing - love and mutual support.

Although there were new challenges ahead, they looked forward to the future with hope and optimism, knowing that together they could overcome any obstacles. Their decision to get married was not just the next step in the relationship, but also a symbol of their love, strength and determination to be together no matter what.

Mary and Tom had decided to get married, and now they were faced with a difficult task - to organize a wedding that would reflect their feelings and at the same time would not give rise to new gossip and rumors. They knew that many in their circle still viewed their relationship with prejudice, but that couldn't stop them from having a celebration that would be remembered for a long time.

First, they discussed the concept of the wedding. Mary wanted the ceremony to be warm and cozy, without too much pomp, but at the same time solemn enough to emphasize the significance of the event. Tom fully supported her idea, offering to hold the wedding in a small country hotel with a picturesque view of the lake.

Mary began to pick out a dress. She reviewed a lot of options, but none of them seemed perfect to her. In the end, she decided on a classic cut dress with delicate lace details. It accentuated her figure and at the same time looked modest enough not to attract too much attention.

Tom, meanwhile, was busy arranging the wedding venue. He discussed with the hotel administration the details of the ceremony and banquet, and selected a menu that would satisfy the tastes of all guests. He paid special attention to security and logistics issues, so that everything went smoothly and without surprises.

In parallel, they compiled a guest list. Mary and Tom wanted to invite only the closest people - those who were genuinely happy for them and supported their decision to be together. The list included relatives, some of the most reliable friends and colleagues who did not hide their approval of their choice.

When the main points were discussed, Mary set about decorating the venue for the ceremony. She wanted the atmosphere to be romantic and at the same time homely. Together with the florist, they developed a composition of fresh flowers that perfectly fit into the interior of the hall. Mary carefully thought out every detail-from tablecloths and napkins to candles and decorative elements.

Meanwhile, Tom was working on organizational matters with a photographer and videographer. He wanted the wedding day to be captured professionally, so that they would have vivid memories of this important event. After a long search, he found talented specialists who promised to do everything possible to make the wedding of Mary and Tom the best project of the year for them.

Every day the preparations for the wedding became more intense. Mary and Tom spent a lot of time discussing, arguing, and looking for optimal solutions. But even in the most intense moments, they did not forget that the main thing is their love and desire to be together.

Sometimes they were tired from the endless chores, but when they looked into each other's eyes, the fatigue immediately disappeared. They understood that all these worries were only a small part of the path to their shared happiness, and they were ready to overcome any difficulties in order to make their wedding perfect.

Despite their best efforts, Mary and Tom couldn't completely ignore public opinion. Rumors and gossip were still circulating in their professional and social circles. Mary sometimes caught sidelong glances, and Tom noticed that some of his colleagues tried to avoid direct communication. But they tried not to let it affect their mood and decisions.

In the process of preparing for the wedding, Mary and Tom once again realized how much they trust and support each other. They discussed how they will build their family, what values they want to put in the foundation of their relationships, and how they will raise their children.

Tom said that he wants to be not only a loving husband, but also a responsible father who will teach children to appreciate family, love and honesty. Mary shared her thoughts on how important it is to create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort in the house, where everyone will feel safe and loved.

As the wedding day approached, tension and excitement grew, but at the same time, confidence in the correctness of the decision was growing. Mary and Tom knew that their journey was just beginning, but they are ready for any challenges, because now they have the most important thing - love and mutual support.

A few days before the wedding, they decided to arrange a rehearsal for the ceremony. Everything went smoothly: they checked the location of the guests, worked out the course of the ceremony, made sure that all the participants knew their roles. Mary and Tom were satisfied with the result and continued their final preparations with renewed vigor.

In the last few days before the wedding, Mary devoted a lot of time to her personal affairs - she had a manicure and pedicure, booked a massage to relieve the accumulated tension. Tom also checked all the organizational aspects again, made sure that the hotel was ready to receive guests, and the service providers confirmed their participation.

And now the long-awaited day has arrived. Mary woke up early in the morning, feeling both excited and happy. Tom was also flustered, but he tried to stay calm and support his fiancee. They exchanged a look of love and hope, and they knew they were ready to take this important step.

Preparing for the wedding was not just a routine for Mary and Tom, but also another test of their feelings, which they passed with honor. They were convinced that their love can overcome any obstacles, and mutual support is the key to their future happiness.
