Chapter 8

She hurriedly followed her footsteps and cautiously asked, "Jessie, are you okay?"

Jessica wiped away the tears on her face and shook her head. "It's okay, I should have let it go a long time ago."

Hearing her response, Selena felt relieved and angry at the same time. "But I think those two girls are right. Jacob and Kelsey are pair of bastard and bitch. They are really a good match. I hope they can be tied up and not to hurt others again."

Jessica was amused by her words and said, "You're right and besides, I'm about to have my own new life."

After hanging out together, Selena sent her back to the Oliveira Family's house.

She was about to leave and what she was most worried about was her adoptive parents.

She changed her clothes and planned to go out to buy a bouquet of flowers and visit her biological parents at the cemetery.

But she did not expect that when she was about to go out, she ran into Jacob, whom she had not seen for a long time.

Seeing her about to go out, he frowned and looked puzzled. "Where are you going?"

She told him the truth that she was going to the cemetery, but she did not expect him to get angry.

"You're going to see your parents? Why didn't you tell me such an important thing? We agreed to get engaged, your parents are my parents and as your boyfriend I should go with you," he said, grabbed her wrist and took her into the car.

After obediently sitting in the back seat of the car, she realized that Kelsey was sitting in the passenger seat.

Seeing her get in the car, Kelsey was a bit surprised. After understanding the situation, a mocking smile apeeared on her mouth and she said, "You wouldn't think Jacob was here to see you off, would you? To be honest, we're going to see the engagement venue and you're just passing by."

Sure enough, when the man came out of the house, he was holding a camera in his hand.

Taking the camera, Kelsey pretended to be very happy and said, "Jacob, can we take a few more photos then?"

Seeing him nod, she asked again, "Just, I heard from Jessica that you are going to send her to the cemetery, then it should be inconvenient if I am there, right?"

He looked at her and said gently, "How could that be? You are not an outsider anyway."

He never gave Jessica a glance from beginning to end, as if her opinion was not important at all.

Even though they were her parents, to her, Kelsey was just an outsider.

Passing by a flower shop, Jessica got off the car and bought a large bouquet of white chrysanthemums. Then arriving at the cemetery, she walked alone.

Jacob followed behind her and watched her place the bouquet of chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone.

Just as he was about to walk over, the mobile phone in his pocket began to vibrate. It was a call from his mother.

He glanced at Jessica, frowned and turned to walk outside.

Jessica did not even care where he went and knelt in front of the tombstone, wanting to talk to her parents.

Just then, Kelsey walked over with a sarcastic look on her face, holding the camera in her hand.

"Jessica, you are such a failure in life. Not only do your parents and brother no longer want you, but now even Jacob doesn't want you anymore."

Jessica suddenly looked up at her with a hint of anger in her eyes.

But it was this kind of look that made Kelsey even more rampant. She handed the camera to Jessica.

"I'm getting married to Jacob tomorrow. As my sister-in-law, please help me pick out a engagement dress."

Kelsey opened the camera and showed her the photos without hesitation.

In each of the photos, Kelsey was wearing a different engagement dress and standing next to Jacob who was wearing a suit and some of the photos were of them kissing.

Jessica closed her eyes and responded to her in a trembling voice, "I have already given Jacob to you, why do you keep humiliating me?"

Kelsey snorted and turned off the camera, saying, "Of course, it's because that's not enough."

Jessica did not understand the meaning of her words. Just as she was about to open her mouth to ask, she saw Kelsey pretending to fall.

The camera fell to the ground.

And at the same time, Jacob came over.

Chapter 9

Seeing this scene, Jacob, who knew nothing, rushed over and held Kelsey in his arms.

He stared at Jessica and frowned. "Jessie! What are you doing?"

Before she could say anything, Kelsey cried and threw herself into the man's arms, her voice choking with sobs. "It's all my fault. I wanted her to help me pick out a engagement dress, but I don't know why she got angry and threw the camera on the ground."

Looking at the camera that had rolled to the side, Jacob looked at Jessica angrily. "You are so ridiculous!"

Hearing this, she looked at Jacob in disbelief and asked, "Who exactly is causing trouble?"

Afraid that Jessica would reveal the truth, Kelsey pulled his sleeve and said, "Jacob, my body hurts so much. Can you take me to the hospital?"

He glanced at Jessica and finally chose to pick up Kelsey and stride away.

In the night, as soon as Jessica returned home, she threw all the things related to Jacob into the trash can and asked the sanitation workers to take them away.

She then went back to her room and laid in bed.

Not long after, the sound of the door opening was heard and Jacob laid down beside her in the dark.

He held the back of her head and kissed her one after another.

"Jessie, I shouldn't have gotten angry with you today. It's just that the photos in the camera were taken to show and deceive my parents, so I got anxious for a moment."

She closed her eyes and said nothing.

It was because none of these were important to her anymore.

Like before, Jacob slept in her room that night, but did nothing, just slept with her the whole night.

The next morning, the sound of the phone ringing woke them up.

It was a call from Kelsey.

She did not know what Kelsey said on the other end of the phone, but after hanging up the phone, he looked at her apologetically. "Jessie ...."

She turned her back to him. "Just go."

After hesitating for a moment, he got dressed and left the room.

Before leaving, he said, "Jessie, once this fake engagement is over, I will take you abroad."

She just closed her eyes and gave no response.

She was destined to go on this trip abroad alone.

Hearing the sound of a car starting outside the house, she packed up everything and took a taxi to the airport.

She did not leave any of her stuffs, except for a letter on the table.

A breakup letter to Jacob.

This time, she completely let go of this man. From now on, she will just be her own sun, lighting her way forward...
