Calling Her Mrs. Montgomery

"Ethan Montgomery suddenly spoke in a tone as casual as the breeze, 'From now on, call her Mrs. Montgomery.' He then casually added more pickled cabbage to Avery Miller's plate.

 

Avery Miller nearly choked on the pickled cabbage in her mouth, hastily grabbing a napkin to wipe her lips while sneaking glances at him.

 

Regaining her composure, Eleanor Thompson nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, of course, how could I not have seen it coming... I should have realized sooner, I..."

 

Her excitement grew with every word, her face radiating joy.

 

Ethan Montgomery, chewing his food, responded with a calm voice, "I hadn't informed you earlier, no blame on you."

 

Eleanor Thompson clasped her hands in front of her, trembling slightly with excitement. 

 

She had watched Ethan grow from a boy into the man he was today, and now, to see him married to such a gentle and beautiful wife filled her with happiness.
