Chapter 7

Jacob slept in her room that night.

Since they had a quarrel that night, Jessica did not close the curtains while sleeping. The sunlight shone through the window and onto her face.

As soon as she opened her eyes, no one around her.

When she turned her head to look at the clock on the table, it pointed to ten o'clock and she was stunned.

The Oliveira Family usually had breakfast at nine o'clock. Why did not anyone come and wake her up today?

After putting on her clothes, she opened the door and walked out. As soon as she went downstairs, she was stunned again.

Kelsey sat next to Jacob, in the seat that should have belonged to her, enjoying breakfast with a smile on her face.

Seeing her coming down, instead of feeling embarrased, she waved at her and said, "Jessica, are you up? Come and help me see which engagement dress is better for me!"

Florence turned her head and spoke up with a smile, "I was going to help her pick a few dress, but she insisted on waiting for you to wake up because you girls have similar tastes. Come and sit here."

Jessica lowered her eyes and stepped down the stairs step by step.

To tell you the truth, Kelsey did not think Jessica had a good taste. She asked her to help choose a engagement dress was clearly to mock her.

Mocking her for not being able to show her relationship with Jacob in public.

Jessica sat at the end of the dining table, looking at the photos Kelsey handed over and tugged the corners of her mouth stiffly.

"I'm not very familiar with such a thing, why not just ask my brother to help you choose?"

Hearing her words, Kelsey's eyes lit up as she placed the photos in front of Jacob and said, "Jacob, which engagement dress do you think looks the most beautiful on me?"

Jacob smiled, his tone full of indulgence. "You always look the most beautiful in any piece. If you like it, then we'll wear it all."

Jessica ate her cold toast, omelette and sausage in her plate and listened to the two of them showing their affection with no expression and no word from beginning to end.

After having breakfast, she walked out of the villa and waited for a car.

Since she was about to leave, she planned to spend more time with her best friend, Selena, before leaving.

She told Damien, Florence, Jacob and Kelsey that she was going out with Selena. But perhaps because they were busy talking about Jacob and Kelsey's engagement plans, they did not give usual response.

In the following days, Jacob left early and returned late to prepare for his engagement and he never even came to her room again.

However, it was also good that she could spend more time with Selena.

When the two girls were walking hand in hand, Selena suddenly grabbed Jessica's hand and looked at a place in shock.

"Jessie, look!"

Jessica followed her gaze.

On a huge advertising screen, a video of Jacob proposing to Kelsey was projected.

In the video, the man knelt on one knee. The usually cold and unapproachable Prince of the Oliveira Family proposed to Kelsey cautiously. If they saw closely, they could see that his body was trembling slightly.

Hearing Kelsey say yes to his proposal, Jacob devoutly kissed her fingertips and at the same time, tears rolled down her hand.

How much love did it take to make tears well up in a man's eyes when he heard a woman say yes to his proposal?

Not only Jessica and Selena, almost everyone on the street looked at the advertising screen.

A girl who looked about the same age as them was still sighing quietly. "As expected of the prince, his upbringing and appearance are impeccable and even his feelings are so loyal. It seems that Jacob really loves Kelsey."

Her friend nodded as she responded, "I can see it at first glance, he is madly in love with his girlfriend. Not only that, they look so well-matched. I heard they're getting married soon. I wish they live a happy life!"

Selena turned her head to her best friend and happened to see a tear flowing from the corner of her eyes.
