When Jack walked inside the dressing room, he happened to see an employee ran out with her hands covering her face. He looked at the girl rushing out of the room, then he turned to Rose, looking at her with disdain.
"Have you finished the dressing up?"
In a moment, that arrogant expression that Rose was wearing while shouting at the employee changed into a gentle smile,"Not yet. Getting married is a big deal as well as trying on the wedding dress," she said.
Jack did not answer. Then, she spoke in a lower voice,"Actually I prefer MA, especially its high fashion design branch. After all, it's our wedding, and we deserve the best."
MA was indeed the best wedding-dress design in the world. It was not worth mentioning that was way expensive, and it only accepted men's reservations. A man could buy an MA's wedding dress only once in his life, which made it very precious.
Rose loved those wedding-dresses, so she tried many times to push Jack in buying one without saying it directly. However, he always pretended not to be listening, so she had to put the cards on the table.
Jack's face turned cold and his lips curled into a contemptuous smile. "Do you think... you deserve it?"
Her face suddenly froze, as she was struck by these words and did not know what to say. Every inch of her body was filled with pure hatred. Fortunately, there were no other people listening, and no one would have even known about the true nature of their relationship.
She took a deep breath and smiled. "Well, this wedding dress here is pretty good. I like it as well," she said.
It didn't matter whether Jack liked her. She was about to become Jack's wife and give birth to his child, and Emily instead was destined to be a loser forever! Even if Emily was still with Jacob, how long would their relationship last? After all, Jacob was way too much for her!
Jack smirked coldly,"It doesn't matter which one you choose," a bit of sarcasm in its voice.
'You won't have the chance to wear it anyway, ' he told himself.
How did she dare to ask for an MA's dress? He had the chance to buy that wedding dress only once in a lifetime, and that was for Emily, not for others!
Either way, he had come over only to satisfy Mr. Gu. Now time was up.
"I have to go now. The driver will take you back when you have finished," he said while walking away.
"Mr. Jack! Mr. Jack..." She wanted to ask him to stay with her a bit longer, but all she got was to see his back walking away, making her feel teased and unwanted.
Everybody in the Wedding Dress shop had become her punching bag. People were afraid to serve this bride-to-be of the Gu clan. She was bitter and mean, and those poor people lived with the constant fear of being shouted and mistreated.
Better not to mess up with a woman like her!
After hours of torturing everyone over and over again, Rose felt exhausted, for that pregnancy was taking away all her strengths. Thus, she decided to go for the most expensive wedding dress, and then she left.
Rose returned to Jack's home where she had been living for a while already. She was going upstairs to get some rest when she found Jack waiting for her. It was a lovely surprise because he had never spent time at home since he invited her to stay at his place. She was delighted to be with him,"Mr. Jack, when did you come back?" she asked.
Jack didn't answer her question, but he stayed still, his eyes pointing at her for a few seconds. Suddenly he started speaking,"How are you doing lately?"
Rose looked extremely flattered,"I...I am doing fine."
How long since Jack hasn't cared for her in this way?
"Fine? But you seem kind of exhausted to me." It was hard to tell from his expression what Jack had in his mind.
Rose lifted slightly the corners of her lips in which seemed to be a smile. Then she sat down beside him,"It is exhausting, indeed! But the thought that I am carrying our child, makes me more powerful than ever!"
