"It's fine. I don't feel I've wasted my time. I feel it's quite interesting." Her life was too dull, so of course, she would not feel that it was a waste of time when things get spiced up sometimes.Alec said nothing further when he heard her saying that. "Do I first take you home?""No need. Just drop me off at Jade's home. I'll go and see if she needs any help." Jade and Max's wedding would be in a couple of days, so Jade should be very busy at that moment. As her bridesmaid, Jenny had to go and have a look.Alec had no objections. He told the driver the address and asked him to drive them there."What about you? Are you going to the company?" Jenny asked.Alec nodded. "I've only left for a few days, but there's already a bunch of things piled up and waiting for me to handle. There are too many things to handle at the Faust Group, and those people from the Faust family don't want to get involved at all. That's why I'm quite busy.""Alec, I think you can try letting Julian or Is
Jenny and Max were on the same page on that matter. "Max just wants to be good to you. Which woman wouldn't want a grand wedding?""So what if we had a grand wedding? It won't hold us back at all from having arguments in the future," Jade said in a mocking tone.Jenny could not help but burst out laughing. She didn't know what to say. "It's because you'll argue in the future that you have to save some good memories. This way, when you guys do argue later on, you'll be reminded of how much you loved each other back then when you think of the wedding."Jade pursed her lips and said nothing.She wanted to say that all these were useless. She also had a grand wedding with Hayden back then, but that didn't stop them from arguing and fighting. In the end, he betrayed her and forced her to agree to the divorce without taking even a cent for alimony.She didn't say it, but that didn't mean Jenny was clueless. "Jade, everybody is different. You can't marry Max with any prejudices. It'll be
By the time Jenny returned home, it was already nightfall. After she and Stephanie tried on their bridesmaid dresses, Jade treated them to dinner.When she walked through the door, Alec was working in the living room. He instinctively turned his head to look at the door when he heard it being opened. "You're back.""Mmhmm. Have you had dinner?" Jenny asked with care.Alec shook his head. "Not yet. I was thinking of having dinner after finishing this work."When Jenny was not around, he didn't even bother having dinner, much less making them. He was just focused on working.As he said that, Jenny already came to him and put the takeout she got on the table. "I knew you hadn't had dinner. Luckily, I got takeout for you.""It was Jade's treat, yet you got takeout. Don't you feel embarrassed?" Alec teased her. He didn't continue working. Instead, he sat next to Jenny and hugged her.Jenny smiled as she didn't mind that it was Jade's treat. "We're so close, so we won't care about thi
Not long after that, the wedding officially started. As the announcement of the bride's entrance was made, the door of the hall was opened. Jade took her father's hand as he escorted her into the hall. Max looked at her from the stage, and the love in his eyes could not be concealed at all.One step after another, Jade's father walked her toward Max. Then, he put his daughter's hand in Max's hand. "Max, I'm leaving Jade under your care. I hope you won't let me and her mother down.""Don't worry, Mr. Weston. I promise that you won't be disappointed," Max said seriously. He desperately wanted to swear to him on the spot.Tears welled up in Jade's eyes, but she held them in and didn't burst out crying there and then.The wedding ceremony continued. As Jade's bridesmaid, Jenny saw it up close when they said their vows to each other. She also watched them hug and kiss each other. She gave them her blessings from the bottom of her heart.Finally, it was time for the bouquet toss. Jenny
Jade opened her mouth, but after falling silent for a moment, she still could not speak against what she felt. "I like it very much. Thank you.""Jade, I'm your husband now. If you really want to thank me, can you use another method?" Max was displeased. Jade's tone sounded as if they were not close at all.Jade's face flushed. However, perhaps because of the alcohol, she was not as restrained as before. She raised her head and gave Max a peck on his lips. Then, she said in annoyance, "That should be enough, right?""Well, I need a little more," Max said."What—"Just as she wanted to ask what more he needed, she was completely in Max's arms in the next second. He immediately pressed his lips against hers and turned that gentle peck earlier into a deeper kiss.Everybody in their surroundings screamed and cheered. Jade was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a place to hide.That kiss lasted for a long time. It was unclear if Jade was out of breath or was just shy when it ende
Jenny knocked on the door before entering. Jade had already gotten changed. "Why aren't you having fun downstairs, Jenny?""I'm here to check on you and also to look for Stephanie," Jenny answered. She was not deliberately trying to ruin Jade and Max's first night as husband and wife. It was rather because Max was still drinking with his friends downstairs at that time, so Jenny felt it was not too good to leave Jade alone and came upstairs to check on her."What's up with Stephanie?" Jade asked.Jenny shook her head. "Nothing. She probably went somewhere with Leonard."Jade was not worried anymore when she heard that Stephanie was together with Leonard. "I didn't know Leonard before this, but I can tell through this wedding that he really likes Stephanie. I just don't know when he's planning to tell her."Everybody could tell. It was to the extent that even Stephanie, herself, knew about it. However, Leonard would not take the initiative to confess to her, putting Stephanie in a
It was his first time?Stephanie's eyes widened as she could not believe it. She questioned if he was telling the truth. "You've never had a girlfriend before?""Mmhmm. I was a chubby kid back then, so who would have had a crush on me?" Leonard said, feeling a little embarrassed. Then, he continued, "I started working after that, and I was swamped at work every day. So I didn't have the time to think about it anymore."If he had not met Stephanie, he might not even want to get himself a girlfriend at that point. After all, it was not important to him to have a girlfriend."Then why are you thinking of getting a girlfriend now?" Stephanie found it strange. No matter how she looked at it, she still found it a little strange that a person who had been busy working suddenly wanted to have a girlfriend.Leonard looked at her. After falling silent for a while, he decided to tell her the truth, "Actually, it started because I knew about you and Paul. I knew his hands were not clean. I di
"I was wondering where they had run off to. I didn't expect that Leonard would actually confess his feelings to Steph today. What an appropriate timing he had chosen," Jenny said softly while looking at the two of them.Alec didn't respond. At that moment, he could only feel sorry for his best friend, Paul. There was probably no chance for Paul anymore.Seeing that he said nothing, Jenny figured out what he was thinking. "You better warn Paul not to cause trouble. If something happens to Steph or Leonard, I won't spare him.""Don't worry. Paul is not that kind of person," Alec said. He knew Paul would certainly feel miserable when he got the news, but he probably would not go to the extent of hurting Stephanie and Leonard.Truthfully, Alec wasn't confident about it. After all, Paul had always been obsessive. In his mind, Stephanie had always been his, and now, Stephanie was taken by somebody else. It would be strange if he could accept that.While they were talking to each other,
