An Old Enemy
Xie Qian buttoned up the halter neck of the ivory colored dress and looked at herself in the mirror. Even though this was not a love marriage, she could not help but feel a thrill pass through her. Two years ago, she had planned to finish up all her pending work and the first thing on her list to shop had been a wedding dress. She had never hoped for much love. After all she had witnessed first hand the disaster love had brought for her mother. But somewhere inside her heart, there had always been hope to find a trustworthy man and start a family. She had believed that she had found the man in Shawn but that experience had shown her just how naive she had been. Ha! Instead her little Ella seemed to have a better eyesight than her, having chosen a respectable man like Matt Long to become her father.
