Chapter: 3674
As Jessie observed the couple making their way down the aisle, she harbored no intentions of disrupting the ceremony. Instead, she was there merely to witness the man she once deeply loved commit to someone else...
Three years...
After spending three years by this man's side, it became painfully clear that he harbored no real concern for her.
Listening to his vows, Jessie's smile was tinged with tears. "Melissa, I feel so foolish. All this time, I knew he had someone else in his heart, which was why he wouldn't marry. I didn't really care because I knew he would never be with that woman in this lifetime, and I was so ready to spend my life with him even not as his legal partner, believing in a future that never was. But the truth is, it's not that he's unable to marry; he simply chose not to marry me."
At last, Jessie saw the man for who he truly was.
After the ceremony, Albert spun around with his wife's arm looped through his own and then spotted Jessie and Melissa.
Obviously, Jessie had been shedding tears.
Albert fixed his gaze on Jessie. Wasn't she supposed to be at her own engagement party? What was she doing at his wedding?
Then his eyes shifted to Melissa.
Melissa didn't mince words. Balancing Jessie's slumped form with one hand, she flashed a grin at Albert and his wife. “Happy wedding, Mr. Watson. Mrs. Watson, congrats!"
Albert glanced between Melissa and Jessie.
Jessie's makeup was a bit smeared but she managed, her lips quivering, to say, “Congrats on your big day."
Perplexed, Albert's new wife Daisy whispered, "Albert, who's she?"
Women's intuition was always on point.
Instead of questioning about Melissa, she simply asked about Jessie.
Before Albert could interject, Jessie beamed and chirped, “I'm Like Uncle Albert's little sidekick. He's a real jokester. He-"
"Jessie!"
Albert's tone was firm. "You better head back to Duefron."
Jessie's defiance was clear in her expression as she lifted her chin.
“And who says you can boss me around?"
