Chapter 2910
"It''s not like I did anything too over-the-top..."
Jessica mumbled, tugging at a corner of Larry''s shirt.
Caspian''s expression lit up.
If this had happened in the past, he would have gotten jealous watching her act like this to another
man.
Now, he was actually rejoicing at the fact that the love of his life was doing such a thing.
"Don''t touch me!" Larry shook her grip off.
"Why did you have to go and get into a useless conflict with De like that? When you get bitten by a
stray dog, do you bite it back?"
The words had barely left his mouth when Jessica and Caspian burst out intoughter.
Jessica had the forethought to hide her giggles behind one hand in a useless attempt to cover up her
emotions.
"That''s enough! I''m telling you right now, Jessica, don''t ever do that again!"
With that, Larry whipped around and went up the stairs.He hadn''t nned on being too harsh on her in
the first ce.
After all, she was Caspian''s lover.
Elsewhere in another vi, Jake was busy with the preparations for the wedding.
A frightened Joan could only watch him from the stairway, her knuckles white from how tightly she
gripped the railing.
It seemed to her that Jake hadpletely lost his mind.
She wanted desperately to have a proper talk with him over the matter, but he refused to give her a
chance to do so.
"The invitations have all been sent out, Mr.Wilson," a housemaid told him.
Jake made a simple sound of acknowledgment.He knew that Joan was watching him from the stairs.He
didn''t want to lift his head and meet her gaze for fear of seeing the disappointment and sadness in her
eyes.
Fate was truly a confusing thing.
God would bring some people into one''s life before taking them away and bringing them back.
Nheless, Joan had never once focused her affections on him.
His hand trembled slightly, tightening around the pen in his grip.He wanted nothing more than to grow
old with her and live a happy life together, but that wasn''t her wish.
"Jake?" Joan called out, slowly approaching him.
His expression grew dark.
It seemed that she wasing to convince him to abandon the wedding ceremony again.
"If you''re here to try and persuade me to stop, I''d advise you to give up" he replied in a low, warning

tone.
Joan sat down on a sofa, leaning back and closing her eyes.
She wondered what would she need to do in order to make him give up on this n of his.
"Do you truly think that you''ll find happiness this way, Jake?" she asked quietly.
No.I don''t think so at all.But I still want to do it.
"I''m happy as long as I''m with you came Jake''s immediate answer.
His words sounded sarcastic and cold to Joan''s ears.
There was no way that he sincerely loved her at all.
She pressed on, "What if I die one day? What would you do then?"
The pen fell from Jake''s grip.
Why is she asking that? Is she thinking of doing something stupid? He stared at her, his eyebrows
knitting together in worry.
"Then I''ll die alongside you; he said on purpose.Even in death, he would not let her be free.Joan turned
her face away from him, hiding the tears that escaped her eyes.The wedding ceremony arrived sooner
than expected, and all of Jake''s friends and family were in attendance.
He had made preparations for every single aspect of the ceremony down to the finest details, but he
could never have prepared himself for what was about to happen next.
In the dressing room, Joan was crying helplessly as the make-up artists were trying to do their job.
"Miss, you can''t cry on your wedding day.Your make-up is going to look all cakey and the pictures won''t
turn out well."
One of the make-up artists tried tofort her.
However, Joan could not care less if she looked pretty or not.
After all, she didn''t want to get married to Jake in the first ce.
After a long while, the make-up artists eventually gave up on her and left Joan alone in the dressing
room, crying silent tears of pain and suffering.
This was the worst nightmare of her life, and she didn''t know if she would be able to wake up from it at
all.
