"Then, who is this woman you are getting married to that both Susie and I seem to know?"
Sarah was utterly confused while waiting for a response from Christian. And in this short wait, never did it occur to her that Diane Brown would be the one he was talking about.
It was only when he voiced her name that the realization dawned on her.
"Mum, the woman I'm getting married to is Diane Brown," Christian revealed with a fist under his jaw. "Not Ashley or any other woman."
A heavy silence descended upon the trio. No one said a word for almost fifteen seconds, and neither Christian nor Susie tried to lighten the atmosphere as they allowed their mother to process and register the information she just received.
"What?"
When Sarah finally found her voice, Christian was ready to drop the call because of a brief online meeting he had coming up shortly.
