Harold’s divorce from his wife Paula shocked everyone who knew them, but it was not as shocking as when he announced he would marry a younger blonde named Melissa only a month later. The wedding, which was already the subject of much gossip and speculation, didn’t go along swimmingly as the would-be married couple had hoped. When the priest asked, “Does anyone object to this marriage?” Harold didn’t think anyone would dare speak up.
However, the words that left Paula’s mouth made the room gasp, their wide, disbelieving eyes immediately turning to Harold and Melissa.
Everyone was so flabbergasted that even the priest stepped back in shock. They must have misheard her; this was very uncharacteristic of sweet Paula. Yet as they all turned to her, they saw the resolve in her face, the smile that usually adorned her lips now replaced by a deep frown that did not suit her at all.
