52 Not This Way (2/2)

”Miss Jia, they all call me Miss Max, as I am Maxine Yee. I will be very happy to assist and guide you as to your tastes and preferences for your wedding stuff and arrangement. We can also give our suggestions,if you like. We have lots of designs for you to choose to...” Miss Maxspoke eloquently but Jia got suddenly dizzy that she turned pale.

Jim understood more than anyone else so he quickly intervened. ”Miss Max,this is quite a surprise to her that's why...” He paused and laughed a little as he encircled an arm around her waist and pulled her to him.

”Can we have a little more time to talk? ”

”Sure,sure..just tell me if Miss Jia is ready.”

Jim looked at Jia tenderly. He held her hand for a little while before speaking up.

”Jia,if you are still not ready,I am willing to wait. I don't want to force you into the marriage if you do not like.” Jim said sadly.

Born with abundant onion skins inside her soul, her tears came racing down from her eyes again.

”Jim, did I not say I want to spend a lifetime with you? There's no such thing as I am not ready.”

”But I don't need this kind of marriage.”

Jim was confused. ”What do you like? ”He stared at her with unblinking eyes.

”Please take me and marry me, Jim..but not this way,not with glamour and fancy wedding..”

The Promise Weddings was the most famous wedding planning company of the city. Most of the socialite family, the ellite andwealthy chose this company to arrange their most memorable day into an unforgettable and perfect, fairy -tale setting.

For Jim,Jia deserved all the best thing he could offerbut for Jia,these were all too much for a nobody like her.

”Jia,what do you mean? ” He thought she would be the happiest woman in the face of the earth to be surprised with this glamourous wedding set up.

”Just take me to the marriage bureau and get us a marriage certificate. What matters most is for us to be legally called husband and wife. ”

”Jia,every woman dreams of a fancy wedding and I want to give it to you. And I want our son to march down the aisle bearing our wedding ring. ” Jim's eyes lit up.

”If you are an exemption to them,Imyself, dream that kind of wedding.”
