Chapter 260 Her Dirty Little Secret

• Marybeth had every intention of returning inside and finding Austin, but after her heart-to-heart with her mom, she couldn't bring herself to head to the reception room, where the crowd had doubled since she was there.
• She quickly found an exit, breathing a sigh of relief when she stumbled into the hotel's famed garden. She'd read about it on their website and had seen raving reviews on social media. Sometimes, the fantasy influencers wanted to portray was far from reality, so she was pleasantly surprised to see that all the internet stars weren't wrong about the garden. With a wide variety of flowers and vegetables, it really was a little paradise, a small piece of heaven on earth.
• For a little while, Marybeth strolled through the maze, stopping occasionally to smell the flowers or touch their petals. But there was only so much aimless wandering she could. Eventually, she found a wrought iron bench and sat down, loosening the straps of her stiletto sandals.
