Stephen finally showed the photos that the makeup artist had snapped to Jessica. He asked her, "How do we look?"

"Cute," Jessica replied, and Stephen went down on one knee and proposed to her, "We will make a better couple, Jessica. Please kindly accept my proposal to you."

"Huh..." Jessica looked so stunned seeing Stephen kneeling before her, and in her sitting room too. The time was already after 8 a.m., and she knew that she would be late to Remy and Sharon's wedding.

"No, Stephen, please get up first. You don't have to kneel to propose to me." Jessica tried to pull Stephen up, as he was wearing a black tux, and she felt embarrassed to see him kneeling before her.

"How many times do I have to explain it to you, Stephen, that I am still married to Dylan? I don't want to remarry now; I mean, my kids, they still want their father back," Jessica wanted to look away from Stephen.

Seeing the diamond ring in the red ring box reminded her of the moment that Dylan had proposed to her.

    Rosie met with Dylan's gaze on her, and she replied, "No, Dylan. It's not the same. After you get to meet my family, but not today, as you cannot go there alone. I will have to let my family know first about the day that we will be visiting them; after that, we can visit them."Dylan met Rosie’s gaze silently. He still had a lot of questions to ask her, but he decided to let her leave for the wedding venue first."That's alright," he replied, and Rosie stood up from the dining table and stepped out to finally leave the mansion, walking out to the garage.She got into one of Dylan's cars, as Dylan only had three cars left in his garage.His white Lexus Jeep, Mercedes Benz car, and also a black Land Cruiser.Every other car that Dylan owned before, he had sold off within the week to raise money to support his company.Rosie got into the white Lexus Jeep, and without even asking Dylan for his permission first, she shut the Jeep door, started the engine, and finally drove out from the prem

She couldn't even believe that after a year of her living away from Dylan, she still misses him and wants him back.She had to take her kids back to their rooms first, and her parents were already home and in the dining room too, having their dinners."Jessica, how did the wedding reception go?" Mrs. Anaya asked Jessica, just as Jessica walked into the living room with Caleb, Nina, and the maid carrying Godsent, who had fallen asleep in her arms."It was fine, Mom. What did you expect? I mean everything went well from the MC to the dancers, the musicians, and every other show that they put on to entertain us was interesting, especially Remy and Sharon's couple dance moment together on stage," Jessica highlighted the wedding reception, and Mrs. Anaya smiled and replied, "I know, but I wasn't asking you only about

    Dylan finished his dinner in the dining room alone and finally went back to his bedroom to sleep.He murmured, "What does Rosie take me for, hmm?"Dylan paced about in his bedroom, as he was so angry and he blamed himself."It's all my fault. I don't even know anyone else that is related to her. How do I fix this mess?" Dylan sighed and went to his restroom to ease himself.He stepped out and went to his bed to sleep. Taking up his phone, he looked at the screenshot of his third child that he had denied before not being his father.Dylan thought to himself, 'Should I send Jessica a text message? But what if she eventually blocks me online from viewing her posts? No, I cannot block her, and who was that man that I saw hugging her in that photo? Hmm, so Remy is now a married man too. And I wasn't even invited to the wedding.'Dylan laid back on his bed to sleep. After a while of much contemplation, he finally put down his phone on his bed drawer and shut his eyes to sleep.***Rosie woke

Dylan's voice was so loud as he walked into the living room.Florence shuddered in fear as Rosie had gone into her bedroom."Where is she?" Dylan asked Florence, and Florence shuddered again and replied, "She has gone into her bedroom, sir.""Hmm." Dylan made his way towards Rosie's room door. Approaching the door, he pushed it open and stormed into the room.Rosie immediately ended her phone call with Frederick, as she was speaking to Frederick Joseph on the phone about their last night together. She quickly turned to face Dylan."Babe, has your mother left the house?" Rosie pretended and asked Dylan as he walked into her bedroom."Rosie, tell me the truth now. What's going on betw

    "Hi babe," Stephen said to Jessica as he finally approached her."Good afternoon. I didn't think that you would attend the Thanksgiving service. Do you usually go to church?" Jessica asked Stephen shyly, as she was wearing a wine-colored native gown paired with her black stiletto shoes, and she looked breathtakingly beautiful, like a charming princess."Why wouldn't I go to church? Like seriously, Jessica, hahaha!" Stephen laughed, while Jessica smiled as she was walking down to her car in the parking lot. She saw other cars driving out as the church had closed while the maid walked up to meet her with her three kids.Jessica actually came to the church with her kids, and she saw her maid brought them to meet her. She told Stephen, "I have to go home now. You take care.""Wait, Jessica, why not let us hang out together at any eatery to relax and have some fun before you go home?""With my kids?" Jessica asked Stephen in surprise, and he replied, "Yes, is there anything wrong with the t

    "Mom!" Stephen looked at his mother in surprise."You cannot send Jessica away," Stephen said."And I am sending her away now. Stephen, what has come over you? Didn't you see a lot of single ladies out there for you to choose from and marry? Is someone else's wife that you want? What makes you think that she wouldn't go back to her ex-husband again?I don't want all that unnecessary drama for you, my son." Mrs. Kali didn't mind if Jessica was there with them or not before she could speak her mind."But Mom, I love Jessica. Why can't you understand how I feel?" Stephen asked sadly, as he could see Jessica also looked sad."No, Stephen, you cannot marry Jessica, and that is final. It's okay if you don't want the young woman that I have arranged for you, but you cannot marry Jessica, and that's final.""It's okay, Stephen. Don't make it hard for any of us; I will leave now.

    At the Albert family mansion, inside the third-floor sitting room, Remy turned his back on Sharon. He knew she had lied to him about everything. They already had two kids together, and he didn't have any problems with her, aside from the fact that she lied about her family."Why, Sharon? So all this time, you knew Rosie was dating my sister's husband, and you kept quiet about it?" Remy asked sadly, avoiding his wife's tearful face as she knelt behind him, crying and holding his legs."I didn't know then, Remy. Believe me, I didn't know Dylan was your brother-in-law. I hadn't met you when Rosie started dating my brother. I don't even know when Dylan's and Rosie's relationship began. I only knew Rosie as my brother's girlfriend. Please forgive me for lying about my family," Sharon cried harder, afraid Remy might divorce her.Remy shook his head, having thought Frederick was just Rex's friend.

    Sharon smiled and told Frederick, "Don't worry about serving me anything, brother. I'll transfer 1 million dollars to you now, and if you manage it well, I'll give you another. But I hope Remy doesn't find out. He keeps loading my account with money and wonders why I don't spend it on ordering shoes and bags to look nice for him.""He's a good husband and wants you to look nice for him. I hope you can talk to him about me. I really miss my friendship with Rex. How's Rex doing now?" Frederick asked sadly. Sharon replied, "He's doing well, brother. Rex is married and has a son now.

Are you leaving for the office now?"Rosie sighed and replied, "Yes. Do you have money to take care of our kids? I hope you're not planning to sell off my two kids to raise money for yourself alone...""Rosie..." Frederick frowned and replied, "They're my kids too, and I don't need a DNA test to prove that. With the way you were comfortably cheating on me with Dylan... You can keep any money if you want. Or you might as well leave it.

You just got here today, and you already know your way around my house."“Our house, Rosie. Don't forget that we are still married and not yet divorced. I have equal rights to everything you have, including this house," Frederick said.“No, Fred!

    Jessica pushed the bedroom door open and saw Dylan sweating in the room as he sat on a blue chair.She immediately asked him, "Babe, so you're now dating Rosie again, right?""No, Jessica... Don't tell me that you're spying on me now? I was just telling Rosie that she cannot see me in my office, as she was requesting to meet with me today to discuss a partnership deal.
