When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 957

“Scarlett, can I ask you for a favor?” Hannah suddenly asked.

“Of course!”

“Really?” She beamed as she continued, “You know how I don’t have many friends, so I was hoping you could be my bridesmaid.”

Her request caught me by surprise, though I was also rather flattered. “Are you sure that’d be appropriate? I thought only unmarried women could be bridesmaids?”

“Why wouldn’t it be appropriate? There’s no rule for that. It’d be so much more fun to have you as my bridesmaid.”

I couldn’t say no to my friend, especially when she was so excited about it. “All right then, I’ll do it. But when’s your wedding?”

“Dear, is our wedding on the fifteenth of next month?” Hannah asked as she tugged at Chandler’s sleeve.

Chandler sighed as he hit his forehead. “It’s on the fifth!”

“Oh, right! Sorry, it’s on the fifth of next month!” Hannah looked back at me with a toothy grin.

I was about to note the date down when I remembered something. “Sorry Hannah, I don’t think I can be your bridesmaid after all. I haven’t told many people about it but, I’m pregnant!”

Hannah stared at me as her eyes widened almost comically. “You’re pregnant? Are you serious?”

What made her reaction even funnier was that she was a mother herself, yet she was over the moon at my pregnancy news. I couldn’t help but laugh out. “Yes, it’s true. I’m two months along now, so you can’t really tell.”

Hannah was bursting with excitement as she grabbed my hands. “This is great news! Kiki’s going to have a sister to play with! Does Uncle Louis know?”

“Not yet. It’s still too early. My mother said to wait till the pregnancy’s stable before telling everyone. It’d be a good excuse to ask everyone out for a meal too.”

Hannah nodded eagerly, her goofy grin even wider now. All of a sudden, her face changed. “You’re pregnant, and you’re still out helping me with the dress shopping? Let’s send you home first! I don’t want to tire you out.”

“Oh no, please don’t make a fuss out of it! Besides, I’m only accompanying you. It’s no problem at all.”

Hannah looked a lot more relieved with my reassurance and broke into a grin again.
