Contract Marriage: My Sweet Bossy Wife
Chapter 2 The Terminally Ill Husband
"How come the wedding procession hasn’t arrived yet?"
Jessica pretended to be wondering and looked out of the gate as she saw Aminah Stewart, her stepmother, mincing over to her.
The guests looked at Jessica in astonishment. Judging from her reaction, they assumed that she didn’t know whom she was going to marry. Hadn’t Aminah talked with her over it before?
"Well… the Fletcher family is a powerful family, and they must have a lot of rules to follow. You’ll go straight to the Fletcher family in that car parked out of the gate."
Having hung out with people in high society for years, Aminah had naturally become very ingenious when it comes to finding excuses. After all, she had used to be an escort.
Guests were whispering to one another. Apparently, Jessica’s newly-wed stepmother was giving a hard time to the lady of the Armstrong family. Truly, Aminah was a stunning and gorgeous woman, but she was mean as a snake.
As a woman who cared so much about her pride, Aminah changed the topic immediately and urged Jessica to get into the car as soon as possible so that she wouldn’t be late. On the surface, it seemed that Aminah didn’t want Jessica to leave, but actually, she swore secretly that she would make things hard for Jessica in the future.
Jessica got into the wedding car and was sent to a private estate.
"Please don’t go to the top floor without Mr. Fletcher’s permission. Please keep that in mind."
Travis Thomas, Lorenzo’s butler, took Jessica straight to the guest room and stared seriously at her, saying in a reverent manner.
It was when Travis disappeared at the end of the corridor that Jessica heaved a sigh of relief. Then she threw herself on the cozy bed and fell asleep very soon.
'Don’t waste time and leave the Armstrong family as soon as possible. Take good care of yourself. Mom will become a star and look at you from above…'
"Mom! No!"
Jessica sprang up in bed and wiped the sweat off her face, her heart racing.
The image of her mother before dying lingered in Jessica’s mind and kept her from falling asleep again. But the view of the garden out of the window was so gorgeous, and she might as well take a walk outside.
As soon as she got out of the room, a roar made her stop and then came a great crash.
The next moment, a breeze came from behind and sent a shiver down her spine.
