Chapter 603
Anneliese had always been passive, accepting his help. She had unknowingly been taken advantage of when they registered their marriage, as he had even tricked her into confirming it. He had always believed that even if she liked him, she would never love him as completely as she had loved Zacharias.
Every time Jonathan thought about this, the jealousy in his heart had almost turned into venom, and he had to summon all his self-control just to avoid losing it and harming Zacharias.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt no jealousy at all. He felt that the rose he had carefully nurtured was finally giving him the best possible response.
His warm breath brushed against Anneliese’s neck, making her tingle. Anneliese did not pull away. She stroked his hair and smiled.
“I’m happy too p>
She was also very happy-belatedly, but genuinely. After all, he didn’t have relationships with other women. Instead, he had already kept her in his heart for a long time.
As the last rays of sunset slipped through the window, they cast the entwined silhouettes of the two across the screen.
On the other hand, in the restroom.
Jessica stood at the sink and was tidying her hair. Looking at the mirror, she felt that her reflection looked too plain.
Ever since she was pregnant, she hadn’t been using makeup. Today, she had only done basic skincare, and her dark circles were noticeable. Her outfit didn’t seem quite right either, as it was a black off-shoulder knit dress with flat boots. Jessica felt that she looked slightly inappropriate to meet Zane’s friends in this state.
As she washed her hands, she was considering putting on a little lipstick of some color when three young women who were dressed elegantly entered.
“Gianna, I really envy you! This year has been a double win for you since you have achieved both career and love p>
“With her getting into the top lab and soon marrying Zane, she is a winner p>
“That’s why I said she’s getting more beautiful. Having both a career and love is the best makeup for a woman p>
Jessica froze mid-handwash at the mention of Zane and instinctively looked at the girls in the mirror.
Looking at the girl surrounded in the center, who hadn’t spoken a word, Jessica guessed she had to be the heroine they were talking about. The girl’s long curls tumbled freely down her back, and she wore refined makeup. She carried herself with natural elegance and ease-a true pampered young lady of wealth.
In that split second, Jessica curled her fingers slightly.
She wondered if the Zane they were talking about was the same person she had in mind.
The girls clearly entered the restroom to touch up their makeup as they lined up at the sinks.
Although the space was spacious, five people side by side were still tight.
“Are you done yet? Please move p>
The girl next to Gianna squeezed
the edge and glanced at Jessica Seeing her plain attire disdain filled her eyes. Then, she pushed Jessica aside.
SUM
Jessica was in a daze when she was suddenly shoved aside, causing her to stagger. She raised a hand steady herself on the wall and felt slight pain in her wrist.
She sucked in a deep breath and glared at the woman.
The woman who had pushed her, Anahi, glanced at her and said, “Sorry.” Then, she
took out lipstick and touched up her makeup.
Anyone could tell that she was not sorry at all.
Seeing Jessica like that, Anahi assumed she was a part-time worker at the
restaurant. Thus, she felt that Jessica deserved the fall.
However, in the next second, she
was doused with water, and her elbow that was holding the lipstick- was bumped hard, causing lipstick to smear across her chin.
“Are you crazy?” Anahi screamed as she turned around and glared at Jessica.
Jessica shook the water off her hands without even looking at her and casually replied, “Sorry p>
Anahi looked at her ruined makeup in rage. As her face twisted in anger, the lipstick mark looked even more grotesque.
“Stop! I know you did it on purpose p>
Gianna and the other two were startled and quickly blocked Jessica’s path.
Jessica looked innocent as she met with Anahi’s furious gaze.
“No, I didn’t. I apologized, didn’t I? I don’t even know you, so why would I bump into
you on purpose p>
