Chapter 214 The Meeting of The Two Families

After a while, she heard a chuckle.

"What do you think?"

"Me?"

Jessica seemed a little surprised. She didn't expect Shawn to ask her that question.

She bit her lip and her ears turned red quickly.

She said softly, "Of course I want to marry you soon. After all, we've been together for quite a long

time..."

"Then let's do it if you want to!"

His flat and calm words shocked Jessica. And then she was overwhelmed by joy.

"Really? You really wanna marry me?"

Shawn looked out of the window coldly. He did not know why he suddenly felt so lonely and sad.

It was as if a fire that had been burning inside him was dying out.

He said quietly, "Of course. We've been together for so many years, and you once carried my child.

Even though the child is gone, I must take the responsibility, right?"

Jessica almost burst in tears of joy.

"Shawn, thank you. I, I thought..."

She sobbed and continued her words, "I thought after everything I put you through, you don't love me

anymore and won't want to marry me. And now ... I am..."

Shawn smiled.

"Why would you think that, my silly girl? Even if everyone is against you, I will always be on your side."

"Shawn..."

"..."

For Jessica, this night was like a beautiful and fragile dream.

It still seemed to be a sweet daydream to her when she looked back long after.

But at the end of the day, her dream could never become reality.

It was like a faint light from sky. Even though it was unreal, she held on to it as if it was her lifeline.

When it was all over, she finally realized that it was all her own wishful thinking.

She could never get what didn't belong to her. But she chose to drown herself in her perfect illusion and

never wake up.

...

With Shawn's approval, the Dawson family soon informed their relatives that Jessica and Shawn were

getting married.

At the same time, they called Henry to have a discussion about the marriage of the younger generation

since they would be in-laws soon.

Although they weren't having a wedding right now, Jessica's filming would be over soon. So, if they

were going to have a wedding, they would have to plan it in advance.

With a month to go, the timing was perfect.

Henry agreed and didn't say anything else. But as soon as he hung up the phone, he turned to Shawn

and scolded him angrily.

"I've told you not to break up with Natalia for that woman! And look what she has done! You still wannanovelbin

marry a woman with such a bad reputation? She is no good for you! I can let the money she costed

Century Entertainment slide. But I will never agree to let her become my daughter-in-law!"

Shawn sat on the couch with his head down. He let his father yell at him and didn't say anything more.

After Henry finished, Shawn looked up at him and said quietly, "Dad, calm down. You haven't been so

well lately. Anger is bad for your health."

"How dare you!"

Hearing that, Henry got even more mad. He threw a pillow at him and yelled, "How dare you say

that! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be sick at all!"

Shawn put the pillow aside in silence.

After some time, he said in a calm voice, "I have promised to marry her. I owe her that."

"You don't owe her anything. Haven't you done enough for her family? She's trying to use you to

whitewash herself! Are you really gonna let her do this? You wanna bring disgrace to your family?"

"We're businessmen. We don't need reputation to make money..."

"Easy for you to say!"

He couldn't get any angrier with the son. He thought for a while and said, "Hold them off first. You can

only make verbal promises and don't you dare get your marriage certificate now! And I will not give you

my consent. If you keep acting crazy, I will kick you out of this country like I did to your sister!"

Then, Henry got up and returned to his room.

Shawn was still sitting on the couch. He ruffled his hair and didn't say anything.

The next day, the Dawson family made an appointment with Henry to have lunch at Hitz-Hardon.

Jessica came early. She was in the car with Clara, and Aleena was in the car with Philip.

The car parked in the underground garage. Clara grabbed Jessica before she got off the car and

asked, "Are the journalists all set?"

Jessica hesitated and nodded.

Clara was finally satisfied. Then she sighed and explained, "I don't have choice. I could tell he wasn't

so happy about your marriage. Well, I know him well enough! He treated you well only because you

were carrying Shawn's baby back then. He has never mentioned once about your marriage since the

baby passed away. I set up this meeting only because I don't want to give him the chance to go back

on his word. Can you understand my intention?"

Jessica bit her lips and nodded, "Thank you, grandma. I know."

"Good. When they come, you should be on your best behavior. Don't embarrass me."

"Ok."

After they got out of the car, they went into the elevator and entered their reserved box.

Shawn and Henry arrive just on time. They immediately came forward to shake hands with Philip and

Clara.

"We are deeply sorry. Something urgent had come up at the office. Please forgive for being late."

Clara smiled gently, "We're gonna be in-laws soon. You don't have to be so polite around us. We're

family now."

Henry smiled and nodded. Then everyone sat down. Of course, Jessica sat next to Shawn. The waiter

began to serve the food.

"Mr. Miller, I know you are a busy man and I really hate to bother you. The reason why I want our

families to get together today is to discuss the marriage of Jessica and Shawn..."

"I know and I am very sorry because this should be put forward by us. But we've been so busy lately

that we didn't have the time to do that. I must apologize for that."

"No no no, you're being too polite, Mr. Miller."

"Well, let's have dinner first. The matter is not urgent. We can discuss it after dinner."
