"Looks like you guys haven't seen my mommy. Bye bye!" Asher excused himself with a frown.
"Geez... I only approached them to ask about Mommy! Who in their right mind would want to look like that man at all?" he thought to himself.
"That kid even has a temper similar to yours. Sigh... Had you gotten married sooner, I would have grandkids like him by now!" Maximilian exclaimed as he watched Asher run off.
Not wanting to endure another round of his nagging, Trevor quickly excused himself to help Melissa pick out a wedding ring.
When Melissa saw Trevor approaching out of the corner of her eye, she deliberately grabbed
Jessica's hand and pushed herself with it.
Of course, she made sure to position herself well so Trevor wouldn't see what she did.
All he saw was Melissa falling to the floor with her white dress sprawled out untidily and an aggrieved look on her face. "I know you hate Trevor and don't want me marrying him, but I really do love him! Will you please give us your blessing, Jessica? Trevor truly is a great guy!"
"What are you doing, Jessica?" Trevor yelled angrily as he came running over.
Jessica let out a silent snicker when she saw the gleeful grin on Melissa's face.
She limped toward Melissa and helped her up as she said with a smile, "Melissa, I hereby swear on whatever part of my body that is still healthy that I give you and Trevor my most sincere blessings. I wish for you two to have a happy marriage and children of your own soon. If what I say is untrue, I shall die a horrible death. All I ask is for you two to leave me alone. Is that good enough for you?"
Jessica then shifted her gaze toward Trevor as she continued, "What about you? Is this good enough for you?"
Trevor frowned as his breathing grew ragged.
"What's with this inexplicable anger in my heart? Why do I feel so uncomfortable after receiving her blessing?" he wondered.
Melissa was so shocked that she couldn't even respond at all.
"What? She's not mad? Has Jessica returned to her usual arrogant and domineering self?" she thought to herself.
"Can I go now?" Jessica asked as she was really worried about her kids.
Naturally, Trevor wasn't about to let her get away that easily. "No. If you truly meant that blessing, then you should stay with us until we pick out our wedding ring."
Jessica was about to say something when a guy made his way through the crowd and walked up to her.
"Hey, Honey! I know it's only a matter of time before we get our wedding rings, but you should at least let me choose it with you. Why did you come here all by yourself?" he asked while pulling
her into his arms.
"Alfred?"
Jessica stared at him in confusion.
"Did you find one that you like?"
Alfred had an affectionate look in his eyes, and his face looked a lot fairer due to the contrast with his black suit.
Clenching his fists behind his back, Trevor asked with a gloomy expression, "You two are getting married?"
