Ricky Lewis left, and Gale Summer sat quietly in the so-called new room, thinking that Ricky Lewis had gone through such lengths to marry her in this way, mainly for the sake of the child in her belly.
She was pregnant, but apart from her and Ricky Lewis, her parents, Old Master Richardson, and Frederick Richardson, no one else knew about the pregnancy.
After all, she had just divorced Romney Queens not long ago, to be precise, just over a month, and she had been pregnant for just over a month. If the outside world knew about it, it's uncertain how they would talk about her.
If a western-style wedding was held, she would have to accompany Ricky Lewis to toast with alcohol, but since she was already pregnant, drinking would harm both her and the little baby in her belly.
