Who needed reminding?
Rose quickly put on the dress even though it was a little small. Her hands had a hard time getting through the sleeve, so Jay had to walk over and help her unzip the side of the sleeve.
Her face was flushed with an intense redness as she felt inadequate as a woman for not being as familiar with the dress as he was.
He slowly picked at every part of the dress, then he looked at her. His cold, deep-set, lover eyes smiled at her...
It seemed to her that he was still the innocent, breezy young man who would never hurt a fly.
"Next time, remember to eat on time."
Hearing him, Rose shuddered. Surely he had a sinister intention behind this!
"Today’s Grandpa's 83rd birthday. The birthday party will be held at the England Clubhouse just across the road. Second Uncle has invited a lot of media to live stream the party."
Jay put his hands on Rose’s slender shoulders, gazed a t her, and said earnestly yet tenderly, "Promise me that for today, you shall do everything as I say, okay?"
With her eyes gleaming, she said, "What if you sell me
off? Whose shoulder can I cry on?" "If you’re to be sold, you can only be sold to me."
Rose,
"After today, I'll listen to you for the rest of my life." Jay’s voice was as sweet as honey, melting even the coldest of hearts.
He was always cold and not very amiable. Now that he was suddenly so soft and warm, it would shock anyone to death.
"Promise me!" He almost had a begging tone in his voice.
Rose was stunned. This was too good an offer to refuse!
As long as she could escape every mishap and calamity for the day, did that mean that she would be welcoming a bright and beautiful life tomorrow?
"What if you go back on your word?” Rose pouted.
She was afraid of stepping into his trap, never to see the light again.
