Married at First Sight

“It's been so long and she still won't say yes. Will you keep trying? There are plenty of good women in Huyoniville-Abby's not your only option. You could give someone else a chance. It might even work out better."

"She probably still resents you for rejecting her last year. I know her really well. We've known each other since we were kids. She has a lot of pride and holds grudges."

"She had never been in a relationship before you. You were her first love. Then you turned her down and said you didn't love her—that crushed her pride. Of course she hasn't let it go." "Now that you're trying again, she's just playing hard to get. No matter how good you are to her, she won't take you back. Why tie yourself to someone like that?"

It was obvious what Paisley was trying to say-she liked Evan and hoped he'd consider her instead.

If she could steal Evan away, Abby would be humiliated—and Paisley would be thrilled. Abby would regret it. Absolutely.

Evan smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. Those who knew him well could hear the restrained anger in his gentle tone.noveldrama

"Miss Hache, you've said a lot. Are you trying to tell me you're interested in me?" Paisley didn't hide it. "I was very drawn to you from the first time I saw you, Mr. York. You're the man I've been waiting for-the one I want to spend my life with." "Miss Hache, don't you have a boyfriend? Aren't you two already talking about marriage?" "You came here to see me today. If your boyfriend found out, aren't you worried you might end up with nothing?"

"And since you know I'm from the York family in Wiltspoon, then you must also know that men from our family are loyal. We love once-and only once."

"My heart belongs to Abby. Whether she accepts it now or not, I love her. I'll only ever love and marry her."

"No matter how great another woman might be, I'll never love anyone else. My heart only has room for Abby. Three's a crowd-and I don't do crowds."

"If she never accepts me, I'll wait until she does. If she ends up marrying someone else and finds happiness, I'll still wish her well."

"But I won't marry anyone else. I'd rather stay single for life than let someone else take Abby's place in my heart."

Paisley: "...Mr. York, how can you say that when you haven't even given anyone else a chance? How do you know you won't fall for someone else? Abby's not even that great. She's petty, manipulative, and bossy. No one really likes her. You must know she doesn't have close friends-it's because her personality's so bad."

Evan frowned, his expression turning serious. "Miss Hache, please show some respect for

Abby."

"I know exactly what kind of person she is. I love her-plain and simple. I love her no matter what. I accept all of her flaws and all."

"And honestly, I'm no saint either. I think Abby and I are a perfect match. I'm petty too. I hold grudges, I don't have many real friends, and yeah I can be bossy." "You think she has a bad temper? Mine's just like hers."

"If you can't accept that, there's the door. Please get up, turn around, and walk straight out."
