The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor By LiLhyz Chapter 114: Shanty’s Confession

“Shanty, you don’t know the amount of joy I have in me right now, seeing you in front of me, marrying me again.” Evan paused. He smiled at Shantelle and returned to the paper in his hand. ”l feel fortunate for the second chance to love and feel loved. Every day, I thank the heavens for bringing me back to you. I thank fate for taking me to Warlington and allowing me the opportunity to make up for all my mistakes.”

“Years ago, I lost you, and that was my fault. I am a true testament to the saying that goes; you never realize how you love someone until they are gone. I’ve said it many times before, but I’ll say it again.” Evan held the tears that threatened to fall down his face as he described, “Shanty, I missed you so badly during your absence, that my heart ached every day. My life was incomplete without you. My company, wealth, and power grew, but I was never close to experiencing true happiness. If I did, through the smiles of others, it was short-lived.”

“Having lost you taught me a valuable lesson. I want you to know that my vow is deeply carved in my heart, one that I will forever keep and follow through,” he proclaimed. It was never easy to think about the past, but Evan could not deny how it turned him into a better person for his wife.

Evan reached for Shantelle’s hand and said, “I, Evan Thompson, take you as my wife. I promise to cherish you in all the days of my life, to protect you from harm, and to shelter you from any storm. I swear I can conquer the world as long as you are with me.”

“You are the queen of my heart. I will love you with all of me, and I pledge to say it every day, as often as I breathe. They say, I should also love your imperfections, but to me, you are perfect in every way. Nevertheless, through your worst days, I will stay by your side. I promise to be true, to be a faithful husband to you, and a good father and provider to our children.”

Looking earnestly into her eyes, Evan added, “Shanty, my love, I will give you only happiness until death do us part. This is my solemn vow.” 2

When it was Shantelle’s turn to give her vow, she sniffed, holding back her tears. She did not know if she was ready for her confession, but they were already getting married, and she wanted to be completely open with Evan.

A tear inevitably rolled down her cheek as she opened the paper in her hand, she smiled at Evan before starting, “My dearest Evan. Losing you was the greatest pain in my life that I swore I would never love again, other than my son. I caged my heart and turned cold at the thought of love and relationships, but I never expected to open up again as I did with you.”

“You showed me another side of you that I have never seen before. You saved my life, literally, without regard for your safety. You showed Lucas a father’s love, one he had longed for. You have supported me through my recent endeavors, and through your actions and words, I saw and felt your sincerity. You have made me happy – happier than I ever imagined,” Shantelle admitted.

“I never thought that love could feel this good. Indeed, dreams do come true, for I have always dreamed of having a happy marriage with you. Evan, when I agreed to marry you a little over a month ago, you asked me if I had fallen in love with you again.” Shantelle sucked in a breath, and seeing Evan attentively pay attention, she revealed, “The answer is no. I did not fall in love with you again because the truth is, I had never stopped loving you. The degree of how I felt for you might have waned a little when we were apart, but the fact remained that I loved you then, and I still love you now.”

Another tear fell down her cheek when she softly explained, “I simply locked my heart, knowing no other man could take your place. I did not know what life would bring me upon meeting you again, but who would have thought you’d come back declaring your love for our son and me, then proving it beyond words. Being with you again reignited those feelings that had been kept suppressed all those years.”

More tears ran down her face as she said, “Who would have thought it was all worth it, loving you that long?”

Evan was utterly taken aback by what Shantelle admitted. He felt his chest congesting and his knees weakening. Evan wound up hugging Shantelle, and he wept. He remembered the months after meeting his beloved again and realized how lucky he was.

Shantelle never gave her heart to anyone. It was only him and him alone. Had this not been the case, he would have lost Shantelle for good. Silently, Evan thanked the heavens, the universe, and the whole galaxy for keeping Shantelle’s love for him alive.

Many of the visitors could not help but cry. They saw through the LED screens how the couple wept. They felt the couple’s pain and how Evan and Shantelle valued their second chance at love.

From the table of Evan’s friends, Keith nodded his head. This had been his hunch that Shantelle still secretly loved Evan all along. Wendell and Sean clapped their hands, genuinely happy for the couple. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

At the table where the couple’s parents sat, they all looked at each other, smiling. The Thompsons were especially happy with Shantelle’s admission. William and Eleanor simply nodded, having the same inkling as Keith.

It took minutes for Shantelle and Evan to soothe their emotions. Knowing that she had to finish her vow, Shantelle sucked in a breath while Evan’s hands went beneath her veil to wipe the wetness on her face.

“I love you,” he said. “I love you so much. Thank you for loving me, Shanty.”

‘I love you too,’ she mouthed back.

Eventually, the officiant cleared his throat, reminding Shantelle to resume. She chuckled and went back to her promise. She read, “Evan, I take you as my husband, and I promise to shower you with my love, to be more expressive and not hold back. I promise to value your every gift, no matter how expensive they may be -”

Laughter echoed across all the convention halls, for it was true. Evan’s gifts to Shantelle would stay within his high standards. After Shantelle laughed with everyone, she resumed, “I promise to trust you with all my heart, to be patient as you learn how to cook for Lucas and me -”

The mood lighted as giggles left everyone’s mouths, thanks to Shantelle’s recent words.

Looking straight into Evan’s eyes, Shantelle concluded her vow, saying, “I promise never to lose our spark. As we grow our family, I promise to work with you, to be an equal partner in your life, and to remember the amazing person I married. I will always love you. This is my solemn vow.”

The officiant could tell that it was only a matter of time before Evan would wind up kissing his wife. Even before they could put on their wedding bands, Evan had been tugging Shantelle’s veil and leaning closer to her.

After the couple put on the rings, the officiant sped through his words, “So- by-the-power-vested-in-me

Evan impatiently uncovered Shantelle’s veil, his hand reaching for her face.

“l-now-pronounce-you-husband-and-wife. Mister Thompson, you-may kiss- your-bride The officiant sighed, feeling defeated. He couldn’t catch up with Evan. The man was already locking lips with his wife! 1

The crowd was screaming. A few guests laughed while many clapped hands at Evan’s eagerness to kiss his bride.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please help me welcome Mister and Misses Thompson!” The officiant said. “Let’s give them a round of applause!”

Shantelle and Evan were at it, passionately kissing in front of their visitors. Their eyes watered with glee while their arms were around each other. The kiss lasted for two minutes, and when they finally pulled away, they helped wipe each other’s tears.

The officiant smiled and said, “Your love for each other is infectious. May others in this venue find love as you have found in each other.”

Following the officiant’s words, music played in the background. Again, the band sang the song of Colbie Cai Hat; We Both Know.

~ “They all say it

All the ones that made it

Once you find the one you claim it

But you’re gonna have to fight” ~

Feeling the song’s lyrics all over again, Evan and Shantelle kissed again, this time gently, their frames swaying with the music.

Screams roared. More applause erupted.

At the stage, Evan let go of Shantelle’s lips. He whispered in her ear, “My wife, did you count how many times you said I love you

“Pfft! Not right now, Evan. We have guests!” Shantelle objected, but Evan pulled her closer into an embrace. She suggested, “I just need one hour

“Just? Just, one hour! Haha!” She reacted, wrapping her arms around his neck. She groaned and replied, “Half an hour.”

A hiss left Evan’s lips, and lust filled his eyes. He negotiated, “Forty minutes.
