Chapter 87
"Then ck coffee it is," Jaydon casually responded, seemingly unfazed by her habitual change.
However, deep down, he remembered many of Alita''s habits. He remembered how she folded the
towel into a long strip after washing her face, how she rubbed the cup rim with her fingers while
drinking water, and the slight lift of her index finger when using a fork to pick up food. She only liked
to tie her hair with coffee-colored hairbands, wore white socks in winter, and preferred sleeping on
her side rather than lying t. Her smile was light and gentle when she was happy...
So many things he remembered about Alita. Her fragrance, her warmth, and the realization of his
love for her were discovered only toote. But now, hatred outweighed everything else.
He cursed in his heart, ''Alita, I''ll hate you for a lifetime, torment you for a lifetime. Consider it the
punishment for aborting our child.''
"One cup oftte, two cups of ck coffee without sugar," he ordered from the server.
"Sure, please wait," the server responded.
"Wait a moment, I don''t want ck coffee. Give me a cappino." Alita raised her hand. The server
nced at Jaydon, who didn''t object, before saying, "Okay!"
"Sorry, ck coffee is too bitter for me. I can''t stand that taste." Alita offered a bright and polite smile
to Jaydon.
Jaydon felt a bit stifled. He looked at her and said, "I can see it now, Miss Thompson. You prefer
things with added cream, just like Little Clement, sweetening your heart."
"Mr. Lewis, you''re really humorous." Alitaughed happily.
After a while, the server brought a cup oftte tea, a cup of ck coffee, and a cappino to their
table. After each took a sip, they finally got down to their business.
Alita took a mouthful of foam, seemingly unaware that she rarely drank coffee.
She pushed the coffee aside, took out herptop from her bag, and opened it. "Okay, let''s talk about
your general requirements and ideas for the wedding, shall we?"
Evelyn sipped hertte and said, "I want to have the wedding in a special and unique ce.
Churches,wns, and gardens are too ordinary. If possible, I''d like to have the wedding in a forest,
in a ce that is ethereal and mystical, with wooden chairs, gorgeousce, and my wedding dress
spread across the green forest floor."
Upon hearing this, Alita''s initial reaction was that Evelyn had read too many fairy tales.
Alita said, "Well, first of all, Miss Jenner, your idea is really good. Quite excellent! But real forests
are not that beautiful, and you also need to consider how guests will get there. The forest paths are
not easy to ess. Moreover, as the day gets hotter, mosquitoes, flies, and snakes will be a
serious problem. It''ll be bad if anyone gets hurt. What do you think?"
"What''s so difficult about that? Mosquitoes, flies, and snakes can be dealt with beforehand. Guests
can simply take a helicopter directly there. I think it''s entirely feasible, and it would be super
romantic this way," Evelyn said unhappily. She was disappointed that her concept was rejected by
Alita.
Alita felt a headache wasing. Was Evelyn thinking of making a sci-fi movie? How could they
catch all the mosquitoes and flies? How could the guests take a helicopter to the forest? Did they
need to park it in the trees or on a cliff?
"Miss Jenner, I think the most important thing for a wedding is warmth and touching moments, not
how unique it is. Before we proceed, the first thing to consider is whether it''s practical. Think about it
again." Alita tried to persuade the imaginative young girl with grace and courtesy.
Meanwhile, Jaydon watched them with an amused grin, observing how his smart and capable ex-
wife would handle this unruly and impolite girl.
Seeing Alita repeatedly opposing her, Evelyn became very angry. "No need to think the other way. I
said it''s possible."
Alita felt helpless, looking at Jaydon beside her and smiling softly. "Mr. Lewis, do you think this
concept is feasible? You have to be more rational and consider the overall situation."
"Jaydon, I must have the wedding in the forest, no matter what. I don''t care." Evelyn shook Jaydon''s
arm, afraid he would also object.
Jaydon smiled brightly. "Although it''s a bit challenging, I don''t think it''s impossible. Evelyn is young
and likes exciting and novel things. I find it quite thoughtful. Miss Thompson, why not give it a try?"
Evelyn happily leaned in and kissed Jaydon on the face. "Jaydon, you''re so good. You understand
my thoughts so well."
Alita closed herptop, ced her hands t on the table, sat up straight, and said gently to them, "I
suggest you bothmunicate with the forest elves, ask them to instruct the animals not to run
around, and maybe request arge clearing for about a dozen nes tond. Lastly, you can invite
some cosyers to cosy characters in the movies, like wizards, superheroes, and others, to
attend your wedding. We are just a littlepany. We''re truly powerless to fulfill your requirements.
Goodbye!"
With that, she packed up her things and prepared to leave.
"Jaydon, she''s mocking us." Evelyn angrily pointed at Alita.
Jaydon pulled down her hand. "Darling, don''t get angry. Miss Thompson can do it. I''ve already
featured thepany that nned our wedding in the newspaper. If she backs out, others can only
say herpany is ipetent inpleting tasks. Who would dare hire her in the future?" His
green eyes met Alita''s astonished face. "Don''t you agree, Miss Thompson?"
What a despicable and shameless man! Alita felt like her bottom was stuck to the chair, and she
couldn''t stand up.
"Miss Thompson, any problems? If you can''t do it, just say it. Even if yourpany goes bankrupt,
so be it."
Taking a deep breath, Alita ced herptop down. "Fine! Forest it is, but if any idents happen, I
won''t take responsibility."
"Of course, you have to take responsibility. You''re the chief nner. If not, who will be responsible?
But I have great confidence in you. I believe you can ovee all difficulties," Jaydon said calmly.

"I can''t guarantee oveing everything, but lives are in your hands. If you want to take risks, you
might lose a few lives. But what''s the big deal? It''s thrilling. Young people should y like this," Alita
mocked while typing the words "forest for the ceremony location" on theptop.
Evelyn smiled happily again when she heard her agree.
"Now, for the wedding venue, do you want an outdoor party style or a more formal banquet style?"
Alita continued to inquire.
"Banquet style isn''t good. Party style, outdoors on a grassy area surrounded by flowers, but the
venue must berge. The surrounding environment is crucial, and it would be perfect if there''s a
lake." Evelyn described her vision.
Alita nodded. "That''s easy to solve! By the way, ourpany has just developed three ns for
you. Apart from the wedding venue, take a look at the other details. If you''re not satisfied with any of
them, we cane up with new ones. What do you think?"
Alita handed them the proposal documents, one for each. Evelyn took a nce and said, "Sorry, I
have to go to the bathroom."
"Feel free!" Alita smiled at her.
Evelyn walked into the restaurant, and Jaydon lowered his head to review the ns. Alita picked up
her coffee and leisurely sipped it, enjoying the surroundings as if she were the only one there.
"Miss Thompson." Jaydon put down the ns and looked up at her.
Alita also set her cup down and sat up straight. "Mr. Lewis, please go ahead."
Jaydon stared at her face for about half a minute, then gestured with his finger. "Come here."
"If you have something to say, please speak up. I can hear you," Alita said defiantly. She had no
intention of listening to his order. This man had no connection to her, so why should hemand
her?
"Well, in that case..." Jaydon stood up, leaned down, and swiftly kissed her lips.
The warm and soft sensation, apanied by the aroma of coffee, filled the ce where their lips
met.
Alita was stunned as his tongue licked her lips, tempted to explore further into her mouth.
She pushed Jaydon away, snapping him out of his reverie.
"Please show some respect, Mr. Lewis," Alita said coldly. She wiped her lips forcefully with a tissue
as if trying to remove ayer of skin. However, the feeling of that brief kiss lingered in her heart.
"I just wanted to help you wipe away the foam at the corner of your mouth. Since you didn''te
over, I had toe to you and do it my way." Jaydon justified himself.
"You''re really disgusting." Alita red at him in disdain.
"Yet you''ve kissed me for many years," Jaydon muttered to himself, looking elsewhere.
Alita was infuriated, but she chose not to argue with him. She changed the subject, saying, "How do
you feel about the ns? Which one do you find more satisfactory, or are none of them suitable?"
"Do you want to hear my ideas about the wedding?" Jaydon''s gaze softened.
"If you have ideas, but please, go ahead," Alita replied.
Leaning back in his chair, Jaydon crossed his legs. "I''m a rather nostalgic person. I once got
married, and I loved that chapel. It often appears in my dreams, bathed in the warm autumn
sunlight, leaves falling everywhere. The red carpet, pure white flowers, and a beautiful bride with a
smile on her face, light and gentle..."
As he spoke in a soothing tone, scenes unfolded before Alita''s eyes. She stared nkly, blinking
her eyes. It was so long ago that she had to spend a long time to recall the scene vividly. Her heart
felt warm, painful, wounded, and lost.
"In fact, I''d like to go back there and get married again. What do you think?" Jaydon could see her
emotional response.
Alita remained silent as if she hadn''t heard.
"Do you think it''s a good idea?" Jaydon raised his voice again.
"Yes!" Alita''s gaze refocused. "Mr. Lewis, your idea is excellent. This way, we can erase the
memories of the past and start anew with new memories. It''s a great idea!"
If Alita imed she was feeling okay, that would be a lie. After all, those were her memories. The
day when she wore her wedding dress, stepped onto the red carpet, and felt joy in her heart.
Despite theter tragedies, at least on that day, she was genuinely happy.
But now, Jaydon had desecrated those memories that belonged exclusively to them.
