Marry me

Ch-31

Jessica has a chance! Yes! She has one!

She could say that… she was forced to do it or could she was drugged! Or wait… someone acting like her would be the best thing for her to do!

Jessica ran towards him and buried her face in his chest. "Jacob! That's not me! The sight itself is disgusting! That's not me! They made someone act like me! They want to break us apart! That Eleanor wants us to break up and get divorced! So that she could get you!" Jessica said as she started acting like a white lotus.

Jacob was conflicted now. That's true… Why would his wife do that? She wasn't this disgusting kind of woman. True! This must be their plot! He shouldn't fall for it.

"Eleanor! You bitch! You never run out of tricks to frame her!" Jacob accused her. But he was met with Cedric's heavy kick on his chest again.

"Remember… she is…MY WOMAN!! No one could insult her! Insulting her is equal to insulting me!" Cedric's chilly and loud voice resounded in the hall, shocking everyone.

Jacob was so angry at Eleanor to the point he wanted to kill her. That's the reason he called her a bitch. But he never expected he would be kicked by Cedric. With a heavy thud, he fell to the ground again. Even Jessica fell to the ground on his chest. He held her head protectively to her chest making sure she wouldn't get hurt.

As the saying goes, Love makes a person blind. The 'smart' and 'extraordinary' Jacob turned blind in Jessica's love. He was even willing to wear the green hat for her and give her a life. One should feel loads of admiration for him.

Like that… Jacob wore a green hat successfully and he chose to believe her.

Eleanor… never thought Cedric would help her like this. She felt ashamed of her behavior. But she wasn't ready to accept him. He made Boris's empire his enemies just for him. He protected her by securing her in arms like a baby. That reminded her about her brother. And Cedric has a wide broad back when she hugged, His scent calmed her and made her feel good.

She saw him kicking Jacob again. Eleanor doesn't want to think things further… so she decided to ask him to leave the issue. But he was about to lift his leg and stamp on Jacob. She needs to stop him. From now… she needs to stand for herself. Yes!

"Stop!" Eleanor said. Cedric looked at her with his squinted eyes. He didn't understand why she was asking him to stop. He wondered if she was still liking him. Cedric felt a lump in his throat. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. He wanted to kill this man for good now.

"Stop… Please…" Eleanor said as she came forward. She hugged him on her own initiative.

"Don't dirty your hands to beat him," Eleanor said.

Eleanor wanted to stop him and chase the couple out but on the second thought she realized… Since she can't beat him, she should let Cedric do it for her. But again… it would be like she was using him. She decided against it and stopped him. Eleanor was feeling sick due to their presence in the venue.

"I don't want to see their faces. It's sickening," she said with a pout making him amused.

"Hmm… what do you want me to do?" He said with a smile pulling her closer to him while placing his hands on her waist.

Everyone: "…" you changed your behavior so quickly. Also… don't forget our presence.

"Marry me," he whispered in her ear, making her blush again. A part of her wants to say to him but she hesitated.

"I will help you uncover the mystery of your brother's accident," he said, shocking the wits out of her.

Eleanor looked at him with shock with her widened eyes.
