My High School Sweetheart Refused to Marry Me for 11 Years Until He Found Out I’d Inherited a Lake House – So I Played Along, and He Clearly Didn’t Expect the Ending

Glenn barely looked up from his phone.

I never wanted a huge wedding.

“Why are you bringing this up again, Lucy?”

“Because you always say weddings cost too much. This doesn’t.”

“What would a piece of paper change?”

“Hopefully, my last name.”

He didn’t smile. He didn’t think it was cute or romantic.

“Hopefully, my last name.”

“We already live like we’re married.”

“Except you keep reminding me we’re not.”

He sighed.

“We need better savings. Then, a new car. We should feel settled first.”

“We could afford this now.”

“We already live like we’re married.”

“Lucy, drop it.”

So I did.

That was what I’d become good at.

Dropping things before Glenn had to admit he simply didn’t want them.
