Nonetheless, Tyler did everything he could to get Stacey out of her grief.
He frequently planned trips, spent more time with her, and talked about what they could do as a family in the future.
As time went on, thanks to him, Stacey’s heart healed, but just then, their family was stricken with terrible news.
Tyler was diagnosed with cancer, and since it was in the terminal stages, it took only a few months before he passed. Stacey didn’t have any feelings for Tyler, but she did grieve the loss of her daughter’s father.
Mary had just returned home after her graduation, and they became each other’s support during the tough time.
Mary had also planned on getting married that year, but because her father passed, she only got to tell her mother about it several months later.
When Stacey found out Mary was engaged to be married, it brought joy to her life, and they planned the wedding for a month later.
On Mary’s wedding day, Stacey couldn’t stop crying when she gave her speech. “I can’t tell you how happy I am right now,” she started.
“My daughter married the man she adores.
And I send them my best wishes for love and happiness.” “But it’s a pity,” she said, tears choking her as she turned to Mary. “That your late father is not here with us today.
He’d be the happiest man in the world today seeing his daughter looking so adorable. I hope wherever he is, he’s blessing her and her husband.
I want to tell him I miss him a lot.”
Stacey had just finished her speech and was preparing to leave, but then she heard a voice from behind. “Obviously, I would! It’s my daughter’s wedding.” At the sound of the familiar voice, Stacey turned back and froze in shock.
“This can’t be possible!
Mark?! I thought you were dead.” “Well, that’s quite a story. But for now, let’s just concentrate on this happy occasion,” he whispered to her as he proceeded to the stage.
There’s nothing like that, guys,” he said into the microphone.
“Forgive my wife … she just makes terrible jokes. Mary has always had and will always have her father by her side!
I wish the couple a happy married life…” When Mark finished his speech and got off the stage, Stacey pulled him to the side, “How are you here? Why didn’t you contact me all this time?
Do you even know how worried I was?” Her eyes welled up with tears.
“Tyler and I had lost our spark, but I stayed with him for Mary because Mary adored her father.
I was content that at least you were by my side, but when you left, I had no idea what to do!” “Oh, god, please stop crying,” Mark said as he wrapped his arms around her.
“I didn’t come to you sooner because I didn’t want to ruin your marriage. I only recently learned that Tyler had died and Mary was getting married. I was worried about you and decided to come here.”
“Then what was that whole death scene thing?
Your colleague said you were dead. Do you even know how hurt I was?””I apologize for that, but Sandra was always envious of you, Stacey, and she lied.
Someone did try to kill me, but I survived.” “Oh, my God. I’m so relieved to see you back.
I felt so alone.” She sobbed and wiped her tears. “You won’t leave me now, right?”
“Of course not!” he said and hugged her again. “And what about the fact that you just called me wife?” Stacey pretended to be firm, speaking in a trembling voice, but her heart was fluttering on the inside.
“Well, what do you think about getting married?” “What?
Are you…” Before Stacey could say anything, Mark held her hand and kissed her passionately. Everyone at the wedding hall started hooting.
