Chapter 699:

She looked at the diamond ring on the bedspread.

“Is it pretty?”

When Jack looked up, he saw Alice’s expectant eyes. She wore a slight smile on her pink lips that was sincere and heartfelt.

Jack had lived with his mother for many years, and although she often smiled at him, those smiles were not the same as the one she had now.

So, Jack swallowed his words and then murmured.

“Mom, you’re so easy to please.” Easy to please?

Alice didn’t think so. As long as Kennedy was good to her, it was enough.

“I’m getting married, silly boy.”

“But you’ve been hurt before.” Good.

Alice thought for a long time. Sensing that Jack still didn’t understand adult emotions, she pinched his little nose, “I can’t make you understand now, but I’m willing to marry him.”

“All right then, Mommy…. if you’re wrong, be sure to tell me. I’ll fix it for you.”

As Kennedy was about to enter the room, he heard this. Then he stopped and retreated to the corner of the doorway, depressed.

Jack held hostility for him….

It was a deep hostility!

…

Alice stayed at Villa H for two days and did not go to the company. Besides eating, she only slept. When she looked at herself in the mirror, she discovered that her face appeared to be fat.

She pinched the flesh around her waist and began to worry.

Should he lose weight?

As he was thinking, Zain’s call came in.

“Brother?” Alice was surprised but uneasy – had something bad happened?

A few days ago, she went to his house to ask him for the house register, but Zain didn’t give it to her.

Zain said in a light voice.

“Have you been with Kennedy these days?”

Alice tried to find out if Zain was angry at her tone, but in the end she didn’t get it.

He seemed angry, but he seemed calm.

He wasn’t supposed to be that calm.

“Yes…”

Alice answered honestly.

“You like him that much, do you have to be with him after five years?”

Alice, “…”

“Brother, I…”

“Think carefully before you answer me.”

Alice took a deep breath and said directly, “Brother, if I could get past him, I would have been over him five years ago. I’ve been with him. I don’t think I need to say any more.”

On the other end of the phone, Alice could sense that Zain could do nothing. Even though she knew her brother might be sad, she had to fix the problem.

If it dragged on, Zain’s would feel he could persuade her.

Indeed, when he finished, silence settled over the phone.

Alice waited patiently as he had not hung up the phone.

After a long while, Zain finally opened his mouth helplessly.

“When is the wedding?”

Alice, “Brother?”

She thought she had misheard.

Zain asked her when the wedding was going to be? Did he mean yes?

“What?” Zain said, “You’re not having a wedding?”

Alice shook her head, “I heard from Kennedy that the wedding is happening next month, I just…I’m surprised you agreed so readily.”

“You’re my sister. If you have to marry him, am I really going to let you be single?” What Kennedy said woke Zain up. He had been alone for a long time and was used to it, so he could be alone all his life.

But his sister was different.

She loved Kennedy and couldn’t move on. If she stayed single this life or married a man she didn’t like, she would be sad.

Instead of a life of grievances, he let her make another bet.

This time Kennedy had put it all on the line, he was a brother and she was willing to give him a chance.

Suddenly, Alice didn’t know what to say. She was touched and didn’t expect Zain to accept so soon. He really spoiled her.

“Brother… thank you.” She bit her lower lip and thanked Zain.

Zain let out a low chuckle, mixed with helplessness and love.

“You’re the only daughter of the Nelson Family, and I’m always by your side, OK?”

“Yes!” Alice nodded, “I know, brother!”

“I’m ready for a meeting. I’ve got to go. Let me know when the wedding date is set.”

Alice nodded and then hung up the phone.

She looked at herself in the mirror and couldn’t help but burst into tears.

But soon, Alice reached out to wipe the tears from her face, then sketched a smile.

Her brother had agreed to let her stay with Kennedy.

There was nothing better than his blessing.

…

Since Zain had agreed with her to be with Kennedy, she changed. Zain said he would give her the house registry after the wedding.

Alice didn’t mind. He had agreed, so there was no rush.

But Kennedy began to get busy.

At first, he wouldn’t show for two or three days, then even for a week.

Alice was angry, but she held back at the thought of him showing up for the wedding.

The place where the wedding was to be held was located in a foreign country, so Kennedy often had to go to the place by plane, but to return to accompany Alice, he had often been awake for dozens of hours.

In the end, Alice discovered that he had dark circles under his eyes and felt sorry for him.

“If you keep this up, I’m afraid you won’t be the groom.”

With that, she poked at his dark circles and bearded chin, “Look at what you’ve become…”

Hearing that, Kennedy couldn’t help but frown, “Are you starting to dislike me?”
