Los Angeles — USA
Main Mansion
Jessica got a probing look from Sia after seeing the bravery of the man she was carrying reprimanding Victor fearlessly.
"I—tu. We're".
"Hmmm". Deheman Victor stopped Jessica's words
"VS". Tegur Sia knew what her husband was going to do
"Are you Jessica's friend, son ?". Sia asked softly
The man named Felix turned his head to look at Sia.
"Grandma, dia—".
"I'm Jessica's future fiancee, Mrs Xanders". Felix said casually without caring about the family's reaction
Deg
Jessica's heart seemed to jump out of place to hear the statement of the man beside her.
"Oh My Godness. Just drown me at the bottom of the ocean instead of dealing with this man". His mind swore at Felix upset
Hearing that, all of them who were there round their eyes did not believe except Victor who had been staring at Felix sharply.
"Geez, young lady really surprised". The inner servant there heard that
"Amor ?". Sia looked at her grandson questioningly
Jessica nodded her head confirming Felix's statement.
"I hope Grandpa doesn't beat this guy up, God". Jessica looked at Victor silently
"Jess". Call Sia like she needs a place to support her body
"Mom". Jesslyn approached Sia quickly
Sia was shocked to hear this sudden statement.
"Is this right in front of me my granddaughter, Jess ?".
"Maybe yes, maybe no, Mom". Jesslyn replied who was similarly shocked by Sia
"Let's just sit down, Mom". Ask Jesslyn to lead Sia to a seat
While Jessica quietly stood up in a cold sweat as if she was a crime suspect.
Victor and Jonathan were still staring fixedly at the man who had come with Jessica.
"Who are you ?". Victor began to show his unfriendly aura
Felix who heard that looked back at Victor calmly.
"I'm Felix Marcello, sir". His words are more than a casual word
While everyone outside was shaking face to face with a Victor Xanders who had a deadly aura like his grandson Jacob Xanders, but Felix was calm - calm as usual.
"What advantages do you have that you dare to be with my granddaughter ?". Victor's questioning intimidates
Perhaps those who hear it will assume that Victor is very picky, especially prioritizing property above all else.
Sounds like it shows his power, doesn't it ? Yes, that's how Victor Xanders is when he's intimidating someone.
"Grandpa". Tegur Jessica slowly felt unhappy with Victor's habits on this one
"What should I ask like that ? Always questioning their speed, ck". Jessica was upset
Victor stared at Jessica. If usually the eyes were always staring at Jessica softly today it was the first time to stare deeply at her.
Glug
Jessica gulped roughly her saliva looking at the gaze of the grandfather.
"Damn it, I forgot in front of me this is Victor Xanders !". Jessica's inner voice shouted
"I'm the owner of Marc Corporation, sir". Felix said as if to clarify who he was
Hearing that Jonathan furrowed his brows like a stranger.
"The Marc Corporation ?". Jonathan is speaking
Felix nodded his head.
Jessica glanced at Felix in wonder, really she did not know the identity of this man because of the situation that forced her to stand side by side with Felix.
"You're the son of Arthur Marcello ?".
Again Felix nodded his head.
Jonathan smiled to Jessica's surprise.
"Daddy just trust him ?". Jessica's mind doesn't believe it
"You know him, Jo ?". Ask Victor flat
"Yes, Dad. We used to be business partners quite often". Said Jonathan
Victor was silent not saying anything more. His gaze was still very sharp to Felix.
"Ck, this is just a grandpa. Not to mention Jacob's brother". Squeak Jessica as slow as possible
"Already, Dad. Don't keep intimidating him like that. I know his parents. Jesslyn must have remembered that too". Jonathan is now a mediator
Victor went to his wife and daughter-in-law. Ignoring those three people.
"I'm sorry Jessica's grandfather. She was overprotective to Jessica. Yeah considering only Jessica's granddaughter". Jonathan was friendly
Felix smiled faintly in response to Jonathan's words. His eyes turned to look at Jessica.
"A pretty good start. I don't think it's easy to face Victor Xanders". His mind was still staring at Jessica
"Huft, thank goodness daddy mediates. Oh God I still have to face one more monster after this". Jessica sighed
"Come, Son. Come sit with us". Take Jonathan who has been sitting with his parents and wife
"Are you okay, Mom ?". Jonathan was worried
Sia nodded her head.
"I'm just surprised to hear this all of a sudden, Jo". Answer Sia
"Grandma, I'm sorry if this is too shocking. But believe me we've been in a relationship for a long time". Jessica said when she approached her family with Felix next to her
"You're in a relationship out there without telling us ?". Jesslyn finally made a sound
"Mom, I'm a big boy. Being in a relationship with a lover does not need to tell you early, right ?".
"I would introduce my girlfriend if we were equally committed to marriage". Reciprocation
"The good liar". Felix's inner self underestimates Jessica
"Then now you easily say you want to get married ?".
"We're getting engaged, Mom. That's why I said I'd surprise you guys". Exclaim Jessica
"Jess, getting engaged and getting married is not easy. Everything has to be taken care of far - far away". Jesslyn
"I don't want a fancy wedding, Mom. Just attended by family and relatives". Jessica made Jesslyn furrow her eyebrows
"Are you kidding me, Jess ?".
Jessica shook her head.
"You're the Xanders' only granddaughter. How can you just get married, Amor". Sia Seru
"Grandmas. There's still Jacob's brother, isn't there ? Let the wedding be fancy. I'm pretty simple". Jessica said
Sia and Jesslyn furrowed their brows and felt something strange about Jessica.
"Like not my granddaughter who likes luxury". Inner Sia judging
"Is this henar really my daughter who loves luxury ?". Jesslyn's inner heart also assesses Jessica and Felix who suddenly want to get engaged
"When do you want to get engaged ?". Ask Jesslyn
"Sa—".
Hearing that, they rounded their shocked eyes, including Jessica herself.
"Damn. The deal is one week away from fiancee. Ck. How dare to cheat Jessica Xanders". Jessica's inner self scolding Felix
"Faster is better". Inner Felix
"Can't be !". Sia Protests
"If you want a wedding that is only attended by family and relatives. At least your engagement should be attended by the business partner of these two families, Amor !". Reciprocation
Jessica looked at Sia and Felix alternately.
"It's not just grandmas who want that. I am also the same. I'm Victor Xanders' granddaughter how could it be just a regular wedding. Must be the grandest and most luxurious in the city. But that can't happen, grandma. Considering this damn guy with his threats it makes me couldn't ask for more". Jessica's inner voice shouted
"Felix doesn't like crowds, Grandma. After marriage, I would often accompany him to attend his business colleague's party, right ? Like grandma and mommy back then, Right ?". Jessica tried to convince both of them
Sia squinted her eyes at the only granddaughter.
"So you stick to your decision for no luxuries, Amor ? Remembering this is the first and last time in life". Sia asked to make sure of her listener
"Maybe the first, grandma. Don't know if it's gonna be the last one or not". Inner Jessica monologue
While three different men of the generation there remained silent especially Victor was still staring intently at the man who would become his grandson's fiancee.
"It's new daddy, not to mention Jacob, ck". Muttering Jonathan shook his head slowly seeing the aura of hostility from Victor
"Yes, grandma. Isn't it baby ?". Jessica said deliberately suppressing affection at the end of her sentence so that Felix helped her convince her family
Felix dehem agreed with Jessica.
"So there's no fancy wedding I've dreamed of for a long time". She looked at Jesslyn
"Mom. It's their choice. There's still Jacob if mommy forgets". Jesslyn chuckled
"Can't a little bit of luxury be mixed, Amor ?". She tries to shake Jessica
Jessica smiled and shook her head.
Sia sighed violently after seeing her hope dashed.
"Well, if that's your decision. We just follow". Jesslyn
Jessica smiled bitterly at the reaction and response of her family.
"I'm sorry Mom, Grandma". Jessica wants to cry because her dream marriage will not happen
Yes, in the end they agreed to Jessica's decision regarding the concept of engagement and marriage later.
Overly focused on the sudden engagement, they are unaware of Jacob and Angeline's presence, except for Grace's aunt and uncle Liu, who are aware of their presence since then but remain silent at Jacob's behest.
"Hm".
They all turned their heads to look at the direction of Deheman who sounded deliberately hardened.
Jessica memorized the voice so slowly she stared back at him.
Deg
His heart seemed to want to get out of place when he saw the deadly gaze of Jacob.
"Dead me. Since when was the monster there". Jessica did not dare to look at her sister
"You've been here a long time, Jac ?". Tanya Sia tried to melt the atmosphere
"One Victor has been creepy plus another twin of this". Inner Sia
"Since you guys discussed the engagement without waiting for me, maybe". Jacob said coldly
Everyone was waiting for what Jacob would do.
"Leave us both !". Jacob sounds creepy
"This is what I'm afraid of, God". Inner Jessica is worried
Those who heard it suddenly left the page knowing the meaning of Jacob's words.
Angeline had been silent since then and was astonished not to understand.
"Come, kid. We'll just go inside". Take Jesslyn who understands Angeline's predicament
"E—ehh, yes, Mom". His speech was clumsy and then moved from his place to follow the family into the main mansion
"Amor !". Sia cried when she saw Jessica was still there standing next to Felix
Jessica stared at her grandma.
Sia shook her head. He knew Jessica's presence there would make it harder for Felix later.
"Umpan has fallen into my trap. The move towards the main target is getting wider". Felix's inner self looked at Angeline for a moment and then gave Jessica the code to leave her here
Jessica has heavy legs. As if worrying about Felix facing his brother.
After everyone entered the mansion. Jacob looked at Felix.
How Jessica doesn't worry about Felix. Kakanya silent alone is creepy by seeing the look of her eyes represent everything. Especially if you have already made your voice.
Now they can all see Jacob and Felix out there through the transparent glass displaying the vast courtyard.
"May God protect young lady's future husband".
"Young master is really creepy huh, Damn he's so handsome".
Whisper - whispered the waiter who had heard Jacob's direct command.
"Somehow this is just my feeling or my anxiety. I see two mafia leaders negotiating". Victor's mind judged Jacob and Felix
"They were like Victor and my late daddy when I was young". Sia's mind felt the aura of both of them
"I'm no stranger to that man". Angeline's mind is looking at Felix longer
Fifteen minutes passed, Jacob entered the mansion followed by Felix behind him.
Seeing that everyone looked at them with many questions in their minds.
"I'm allowing their engagement !". Jacob said in the silence
The women who had been staring anxiously were now smiling broadly after hearing Jacob's decision.
"Congratulations, may happiness always be with you, Jess". Angeline hugged Jessica
Somehow he was very happy after hearing the sentence Jacob said.
Jessica smiled bitterly looking at all of them who were happy to hear that.
"I promise I will never erase the happiness on your faces". Jessica's heart was moved
"Two monsters have been passed, Amor". Sia whispered softly while hugging Jessica
Hearing that Jessica chuckled.
"Congratulations, Son. Finally my spoiled daughter will soon be a wife". Jesslyn hugged Jessica tightly
They were all happy with this news. To the point of not paying attention to the gaze of Victor and Jacob, who kept staring at Felix.
"Liu, come with me !". Tell Victor to arrive - arrive
Victor then left them all without saying anything including staring at Jessica.
Seeing that Jessica wanted to chase after her grandfather but stopped when she heard Jacob's words.
"I'll talk to the grandpa".
After saying that Jacob followed Victor.
"I know grandpa still doesn't approve of my decision. I'm sorry granda". Inner Jessica sad
While Felix's gaze was fixed on Angeline intensely.
"Grandpamu just haven't received it, Amor. After your brother calms him down, he'll definitely talk to you again". Sia understood her grandson's anxiety
"Your Grandma's right, Jess". Said Jonathan
Sia asked them all to sit down and talk about the color concept of Jessica's engagement later.
With the spirit of Angeline also gave her advice on the concept of color and theme later.
"Either happiness or sadness that picks me up in front of you". Inner Jessica laughed
