Joan knew all too well that it didn't matter if they were married or not. Jake would never hurt her. Hence, in a way, marrying the man in front of her was a smart choice.
The only shortcoming was that she couldn't love Jake, but he didn't seem to care about that. That's right. All Jake cared about was owning Joan. He wanted her to spend the rest of her life with him.
"Come, try this on. I think it suits you well," said Jake as he handed a wedding gown to her.
Joan was stunned for a moment when she held the wedding gown. She later turned around and entered the changing room.
The white wedding gown, her stunning complexion... Everything looked simple yet elegant, and when she left the changing room, Jake was flabbergasted.
That was Joan Watts, the woman who was going to be the most beautiful bride and his wife.
Jake clenched his fists to try to calm his nervous feeling.
"What do you think? Is it good?" asked Joan after she turned around to face him.
"Y-yeah, it's great, l-it's perfect," replied Jake quickly.
Joan couldn't help giggling when she saw him stuttering like that. Still, she felt a little sorrowful deep down.
"Let's go have our photos taken now," suggested Jake. He held her arms and walked out of there immediately after.
Everyone was stunned when the two of them exited after changing their clothes.
"Oh, my gosh! You two are such a beautiful couple. You're gonna get everyone jealous," said the owner loudly and exaggeratedly, "What are you guys standing around for? Quick. Let's start shooting."
The workers instantly started working away.
Jake nodded satisfactorily at the owner.
"Mr. Wilson, Ms. Watts, is there anything else you need? Please feel free to ask me," informed the owner politely.
