Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 214

Some time passed before a chuckle could be heard on the other end.

“What say you?”

“Me?”

Celine was a bit surprised that Jason would ask her the question in return.

She bit her lip and blushed violently as she cooed, “Of course, I do hope to get married to you as soon as possible, Brother Jay. After all, we’ve been together for quite a while…”

“If you say so, we shall get married then!”

The sentence was uttered calmly and steadily, turning Celine’s shock into a state of euphoria.

“Really? Do you mean it, Brother Jay?”

Jason looked out of the window emotionlessly. At night, the traffic was heavy. For some reason, he felt a bizarre sense of loneliness and sadness.

It was as if the eternally burning flame in his heart was slowly extinguished by the sands of time.

He said wanly, “Of course I mean it. You’ve been with me for so long and you’ve carried my child. Although the child is no longer with us, I should be responsible for you, don’t you agree?”

Celine almost wept tears of joy.

“Brother Jay, thank you. I, I thought…”

She sobbed and had a hard time articulating her words. After a moment, she muttered, “After all the things we’ve been through, I thought you no longer liked me and loved me, let alone want to marry me. And now, I… I…”

Jason twitched his lips.

“Silly girl, why would I feel that way? Even if everyone opposes you, I’ll still stay by your side and support you!”

“Brother Jay!”

“...”

To Celine, tonight was like a beautiful yet distant dream.

Many years later, she would still find it sweet when she thought of it.

Nevertheless, no matter how sweet it was, it was still a dream and not reality.

It was like a faint sparkle of light in the faraway sky — imaginary and not real, yet she regarded it as her saving grace.

Over time, when she scrutinized it, she would realize that it was all a one-sided affair.

The things that did not belong to her had left her long ago. One had to wake up from a dream, but she was too obsessed with the happiness in her dream that she refused to wake up.

…

With Jason’s approval, the Jennings informed their relatives about the good news.

At the same time, they phoned up Thomas. Since they were going to be in-laws soon, they wanted to invite Thomas out for a meal and also discuss the children’s marriage plans with him.

Although the wedding would not be held at this time, the filming of Celine’s new show was about to wrap up. If they wanted to organize a wedding, they had to plan it earlier.

There was still a month left before filming was done, so they had enough time.

On the phone, Thomas agreed to the invitation and did not say much, but as soon as he hung up, he scolded Jason vehemently.

“Earlier, I forbade you from breaking up with Nell and being with this woman! Now, look at what she has done! Her reputation has gone down the drain, and you still want to marry her?!

Are you going to marry a wife or a troublemaker who brings disasters to the family?! I can ignore how she has caused Fenghua to make a loss, but I’ll never agree to her becoming my daughter-in-law!”
