Matilda, The Ugly, A Romance (Abridged) by Joanne Okano (Conclusion)

     All adoring men put her aside though when they saw her lips move.
     "I like you," she said, and they ran.  They didn't want anything to do with her.
     "I love you," she said and they married someone else.
     Then he came along.  He too had been put down, and pushed around a lot so he knew how she felt. He didn't want her at first, he thought she was too ugly, but no, he thought she was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen.  Except for her flat feet and big tummy and syringe-like nose but that was to be expected.  He was older than her, by quite a few years.  They were kind to each other.  
     He was cousin Hork's nephew he said, so they married after a long engagement and getting-to-know-you period before that.  And it worked.  (And they had oodles of children.)
