“Jessica, I thought you always wanted to attend such events.” As Jessica looked at him calmly, her eyes were as tranquil as a quiet lake. She had never attended one before, and she really wanted to. She believed that as husband and wife, they should stand together and share a common goal. However, their marriage started off under difficult circumstances. She would really be naive if she thought he would be by her side. Jessica pushed his hand away and sighed as she signed, “I thought you said I’ll only embarrass you if I attend such events.” Blake found her words difficult to accept and she knew it. Nevertheless, he was meeting her halfway and allowing her to attend this time, so why must she throw a temper now? Blake said sourly, “You will go when I tell you to. I’ll settle the dress for you.” Then, before she could react, he stomped out of the room grumpily. It suddenly felt like he was begging her to go. He decided to meet her halfway, yet she was taking advantage of h

Kim Jackson grabbed a glass of wine and strode over to Lady Cecilia. The lady that was with her caught Kim’s eyes and respectfully bowed out of the conversation. Kim gently smiled at Lady Cecilia and spoke, “Thank you so much, Lady Cecilia, for attending my mother’s birthday banquet.”Lady Cecilia clinked her glass with Kim and smiled back. “The pleasure is mine. In fact, I was planning on inviting the Jackson family to my birthday banquet as well.”The hidden meaning behind those words was clear as day. Kim hardened her resolve and smiled as she said, “My lady, Mrs. Ferguson seems awfully lonely there by herself, should we do something about that?”Lady Cecilia glanced over at Jessica, wondering just how she can bear to stay here any longer. From the corner of her eye, she spotted some ladies walking over to Jessica, and decided to set down her own wine glass before walking over as well. Jessica was content playing with Winson before she spotted three well-dressed ladies walk

“Mr. Ferguson! !-”Kim Jackson tried to speak up for herself, but the words barely left her mouth when she caught his ice-cold gaze and was forced to swallow the rest of her words.Her face burned like red-hot coal.In all her life she had never been so utterly humiliated before, let alone rejected in such a manner.It felt as if she was slapped in the face by the whole universe.However, what was even more terrifying then was Blake Ferguson’s piercing glare.She felt a shiver across her spine.It felt as if she had truly pissed Blake off in the worst possible way, but...Why?He seemed so satisfied with the proposal in the beginning and even treated her to dinner. Just how did that mute pique his interest?The prideful Kim was at a loss, but upon seeing Jessica Scott’s indifferent expression, her heart burned with rage.How could the great Kim Jackson be beaten by a mere mute!Hmph! Blake himself even said it earlier, he saw it on her Weibo. She did not even do it herself!

At that moment, Lady Cecilia could no longer maintain her graceful demeanor.To her, what Jessica did was a disgrace to the Ferguson family!Jessica glanced at Blake from afar, and noticed that livid look on his face, implying that she had committed a grave mistake.Being mute, was that a crime?He spoke on her behalf in front of others, intending to protect her, yet the moment she used sign language, he distanced himself away from her instead?Frankly speaking, maybe this was his bottom-line, which was bringing her to this banquet, hoping she would be as quiet as a mouse and behaving in a way that would not be disgraceful.Unfortunately, her sign language fell within what he deemed as disgraceful.Jessica retracted her gaze, slowly curled her lips, and grinned.She looked at Lady Cecilia and started to speak in sign language.“Not being able to speak is indeed a defect I am born with, this is an unchangeable fact. I also have always been aware that I am now a part of the Ferguson fami

Jessica looked toward where Blake pointed.There was an open plaza with an artificial fountain just outside the café. From the angle that they were viewing it from, one could barely make out the faint rainbow that was cast into the air.“See, I’m not lying right?” Jessica let out a slight burst of laughter, a sign of her recovering mood.Thomas then said, “Since there’s nothing to do here, why don’t you guess as to what they’re doing?”He pointed to a young man and woman at the plaza and asked, “What kind of relationship do you think those two have?”Jessica took a closer look, the young man had a pleasing smile as if trying to explain something. The young woman had a stern look on her face, she moved two steps ahead, stopped, and then continued walking a few more steps in the same direction. The young man followed her as she did all of that repeatedly. This went on for quite a while.“Are they a couple? A couple who’s arguing?” Jessica asked.“Nope, both of them have no relationship
