Chapter <b>87</b>
“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 <b>a </b>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<b>, </b><b>“</b>I want to have the wedding in a special and unique ce. Churches,wns, and gardens are <b>too </b>ordinary. If possible, I’d like to have the wedding in <b>a </b>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 <b>all</b>, 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 <b>day </b>gets hotter, mosquitoes, flies, and snakes will be a serious problem, ITT 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

Chapter 87
Alta fell a headache wasing Was Evelyn thinking of making a sci fi movie? How could they catch all the mosquitoes and files? 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 fell

“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.”
bothmunicate Alita closed herptop, ced her hands t on the table, sat up straight, and said gently to them, “I suggest you 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 <b>dare </b>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<b>, </b>and she couldn’t stand up.
“Miss Thompson, any problems? If you can’t do it, just say it. Even if <b>your </bpany goes bankrupt, so be it.”This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Taking a deep breath, Alits 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 <b>you </b>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.

Alita also set her cup down <b>and </b>sat up straight. “Mr. Lewis, please go ahead.”
Jaydon stared at her face for about half a minute, then gestured with his finger. “Come <b>here</b>.”
“If you have something to say, please speak up. I <b>can </b>hear <b>you</b>” Alita <b>said </b>defiantly. She had no intention of listening to his order. This

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 <b>with </b>a smile on her face, light and gentle…
As <b>he </b>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 scone vividly. Her heart felt warm, painful, wounded, and lost.

Alita remained silent as if she hadn’t heard.
<b>“</b>Do
you think it’s a good idea?” Jaydon raised his voice again.
“Yes!” Anita’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 ideal”
If Alita <b>imed </b>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 <b>her </b>heart. Despite theter tragedies, at least on that <b>day</b><b>, </b>she was genuinely happy.
But now, Jaydon had desecrated those memories that belonged exclusively to them
