“If you like that date, then that’s the date we’ll set,” Timothy replied. “Pick out any wedding dress you want. Do you want the ceremony here or abroad?”
Seeing Timothy so earnestly planning the details, Sheila felt a flicker of happiness, even though she knew he was only doing it to save Jessica. At least she would finally get to marry him.
“Let’s do it here,” she said. Timothy’s entire social and professional circle was here; of course the wedding had to be here. She wanted everyone to see her become Mrs. Lawson, officially and indisputably.
Seven years ago, everyone in the Lawson family, including her own adoptive parents, had been against their relationship. This time, she would finally have her moment of triumph. She especially looked forward to putting Sallie in her place. She had always tolerated that woman’s awful attitude for Timothy’s sake, but once she was his wife, that would end.
If Sallie hadn’t shown up and caused a scene on Timothy’s birthday, she and Timothy might have gotten together long ago.
Timothy paused for a moment before continuing. “A wedding on the ninth is a bit tight. I’ll have Secretary Allen contact a few wedding planners. You pick one, and I’ll have him expedite everything.”
He sounded so attentive, yet so mechanical. The small spark of joy Sheila had felt was extinguished. He was only willing to do all this because her liver could save Jessica.
Sheila fell silent, her expression darkening. Timothy glanced at her. “Are you not satisfied?”
“No, it’s not that,” she said, a bitter taste in her mouth.
“If not, then we’ll proceed with this plan.”

Dear autho, What happened to this novel? At least continue until the part where Jessica finds her peaceful life with her newly found family. And her ex husband dies in regret....
Just let Jessica divorce that scumbag so she can begin anew. Gosh! All that nonsense with that guy was so unnecessary....
Finally someone teaching Henry a lesson...
Any new updates. Please please let Jessica finally have a new life with her long lost family...
Wow .... finally!...
The plot of this novel is like an elevator. Its up then down, then up to be back to down again after. Same story. No interesting twists, always the same... naive Jessica, villain Timothy, so when can we have a refresher?...
