Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption novel Chapter 321

Chapter 321: Have a successful launch wife...

Following Becky’s voice, Jessica laughed, the sound light and full of energy as she stepped aside, ushering her into the bedroom and gesturing dramatically toward the gown, shoes, and necklace. "They are all ready," she chuckled.

"I guess the spotlight’s on you tonight," Becky said as she slowly lifted the dress. She gasped. "Wait... Is this a Lady Evelina original?"

Jessica nodded, smiling. "Apparently, someone went above and beyond."

"He really went above board. I’m jealous." Becky snickered.

"You don’t have to be jealous, I guess Alex isn’t short of it."

"I see you’re quite in the mood... Haven’t seen a CEO attending her own banquet so late," Becky teased.

Jessica shook her head lightly. "You don’t have to sweat it. Today I’m just one of the guests—a special guest of honour."

"Well, then, our special guest," Becky said, clapping her hands together, "let’s make sure you look every bit the queen you already are and make sure not to disappoint Lady Evelina in flaunting this dress."

With the time already ticking, Jessica and Becky moved quickly. Not being a fan of heavy makeup, Jessica had her look kept light and simple, exactly the way she liked it.

Once through with the makeup, Jessica slipped into the gown and Becky helped with the zipper. Looking at Jessica’s baby bump subtly concealed by the pleated flare cascading from her left shoulder down to the right side, Becky nodded in satisfaction.

Becky stepped back to take a full look. When satisfied, she took Jessica by the arm and guided her toward the mirror to have a good look at herself.

Do you think I’m lacking in any aspect?" Becky asked, a warm smile gleaming on her lips.

""Hmm, don’t really think so. You’re still the one and only Miss... per-fec-t," Jessica replied.

"Of course. Then for my reward, just make me proud and get me new contracts. Can you do that?"

"Angels Wear’s got you covered, even if you never worked for the rest of the year," Jessica teased.

"With that kind of assurance, I can move mountains," Becky snickered. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"I won’t be ashamed with your assurance, I can move the mountains." She snickered.

Becky nodded as she picked up the footwear on the bed while Jessica sat down, and she helped her to slide on her shoes.

Satisfied with everything, she took a quick snapshot of her, carefully saving it to her phone, and they both stepped out of the room.

Jessica and Becky made their way down the stairs, their steps soft and unhurried. Becky whispered, "Just recalled I haven’t walked you down the aisle. I think that should be the next makeup I will carefully prepare... to make you the most dazzling bride."

"I guess you are forgetting something. We are already an old couple."

"That doesn’t mean it is not doable." She murmured.

As they approached the last step of the staircase, Davis stepped out, a large mixed bouquet of orange lilies, dried lavender, and baby’s breath carefully and meticulously wrapped in craft paper with an exquisite golden ribbon in his hand as he approached her.

Seeing him, she paused on the last staircase. Becky, reading the room, quietly slipped away from Jessica’s side and went down the stairs to join the other persons around.

Jessica’s eyes locked on to Davis. Seeing him in a pristine black suit, his appearance dashing, commanding and effortlessly charming, it was as though he was stepping out of a magazine with everything about him perfect.

Jessica felt her breath hitch, her heart beating erratically, her eyes slowly tracing every distinct feature of his face. It was as though he was the only one there.

Davis slowly walked over to her and held out the bouquet to her. "Have a successful launch, wife."
