Chapter 419 - No (2/2)

However, just as he was about to ask her why, Halia continued to speak, ”I don't want to be just your wife. I also want to be your best friend, your soul mate, your confidant, and the mother of your child. When you are sick, I want to be your nurse. When you are hungry, I want to be your chef. When work gets tough, I want to be your secretary. I want to be there for you through thick and thin, and I don't want to ever leave your side. Can you accept that you're getting a lot more than you asked for, Mr. Wu?”

Jackson's eyes slowly lit up and the room slowly warmed back up.

With a nod, he laughed, ”I'm a businessman, how could I say no to such a great deal!” He then whispered in a voice that only they could hear, ”You tricked me!”

Halia leaned forward and stuck out her tongue, ”Now we're even!”

Seeing the cheeky expression on his wife's face, Jackson wrapped his arms around her waist drew her close to his body, and kissed her passionately. He didn't care that everyone was watching; this woman was impossible to resist.

But, of course, the guests didn't mind this public display of affection. After all, they were at a wedding, they didn't expect anything less. So, they looked at the couple happily and clapped and cheered. Single people watched in admiration, unmarried couples felt inspired, and married couples reminisced on their own love stories.

After the couple pulled away from each other and went to sit at their table at the front of the ballroom, some of the guests began to mingle.

”Jack! Long time no see!” a middle-aged man smiled as he stretched out his hand and shook Father Wu's hand. He then glanced at Aunt Lily and Jaclyn. ”Lily, your daughter has grown into a fine young lady. Time certainly flies...”

Jack laughed, ”Jaclyn, come greet Uncle Robert, he is a property developer that I've been working with for years. You met him when you were young.”

Jaclyn looked at the man, left Mia with Cleo, and walked over to her father's side. He had a warm smile but she didn't remember him at all. ”Hi, Uncle Robert,” she said politely.

The man smiled with satisfaction. ”When you were little, you used to run around the garden with my son. Do you remember him?”

He then waved at a young man that looked around Jaclyn's age.

The young man walked over and stretched out his hand, ”Miss Jaclyn, it's nice to see you again.”

Jaclyn smiled awkwardly. She didn't remember this young man either. She stretched out her hand to shake his hand politely, but to her surprise, he lifted her hand to his lips and placed a kiss on the back of it.

”I noticed you as soon as you walked through the door. You're beautiful. May I ask if you have a boyfriend?” he asked straightforwardly.
