Chapter 558 Celia, Don't Do Anything Stupid
Then, Jessica called Vincent.
"Vincent, are you free? Can you pick me up in three days?"
"Sure."
Vincent agreed without hesitation.
He had thought Jessica and Gabriel had reconciled and were coming back together.
However, when Vincent arrived, he realized everything was completely different from what he had imagined.
[If this is your choice, then fine, I'll let you go. Just hope you won't regret it someday.]
When Francis saw this message, he was stunned.
He stood there for a long time, reading the sentence over and over again.
His heart ached as if it had been torn apart.
It felt like someone had cut a sharp wound in his chest, causing unbearable pain.
But Francis knew clearly that he no longer had the right to protect Jessica or bring her joy.
When he went to see Celia, Francis brought a basket of her favorite fruits.
Moreover, Francis donned a long-forgotten formal suit: a white shirt, a black jacket, and a striped tie, all perfectly matched.
He held a large bouquet of roses in his hands.
In the pocket of his dress pants, he carried a red velvet box with a ring inside.
He was fully prepared.
However, when he stopped at the door and thought of Jessica's face, his eyes turned red.
He knew that once he walked through that door with these things, there would be no turning back.
He and Celia were destined to be intertwined for all eternity;
He and Jessica, however, were a chapter forever closed, never to be rekindled.
Suddenly, Alisha's heart-wrenching voice came from inside, "Celia, come back, I beg you, please come back!"
"Mom," Celia cried, "Life is too boring, you know? I'm in so much pain, I can't find any joy, just let me be free!"
"Celia, I know losing the baby was painful, but you'll have another chance in the future."
"Mom, did you forget? Dr. Daniels said I can never get pregnant again."
"I remember, but with advanced technology, we can do IVF, you can still be a mom, I beg you, don't be impulsive, come back."
Celia suddenly burst into tears.
Alisha took the opportunity to inch closer.
However, just as Alisha was about to get close, Celia's emotions erupted unexpectedly.
"Mom, stop, don't move, don't come any closer."
"Alright, I won't move, Celia, please don't be impulsive, I beg you, come down from the window, okay?"
Hearing this, Francis realized the severity of the situation.
He pushed the door, and the first thing he saw was Celia sitting on the window.
Celia was leaning on the window, wearing only a thin nightgown, with her long legs dangling outside the window.
And the window was wide open.
The curtains had two layers, the outer heavy one was tied up.
The inner sheer layer was blowing against her face and body with the wind.
With the wind howling fiercely, the sheer curtain danced erratically, casting an unsettling aura of eerie horror.
Seeing Francis, Alisha immediately looked like she had found salvation. She ran over and grabbed his sleeve.
"Francis, you're generous, please don't take what I said before to heart."
"I beg you, save Celia, please!"
"Celia won't listen to anyone now, she only listens to you. Can you get her to come down? It's too dangerous up there, she might fall."
Francis pressed his lips together, frowning.
He was thinking about how to speak.
But Alisha thought Francis was still holding a grudge over what she had said before and didn't want to save Celia.
So, Alisha stumbled over, grabbed Francis's arm with one hand, and pleaded.
"Francis, I spoke without thinking before, I apologize now, you can do whatever you want."
"I beg you, save Celia, please!"
Francis immediately grabbed her hand.
"Mrs. Bell, please get up, you misunderstood, I will save Celia."
Alisha immediately looked at him excitedly. "Really? You don't blame me?"
Francis gave her a reassuring nod.
Then he walked towards Celia.
Realizing his approach, Celia immediately became agitated. "No, stop, don't come any closer."
"Alright, Celia, calm down, I won't come closer, but please don't get agitated, okay?" Francis softened his tone.
But soon, her gaze fell on Francis.
He was in a black suit, wearing a tie.
He was holding a large bouquet of roses.
Especially his neatly combed hair, everything was too obvious.
With trembling lips, Celia almost couldn't believe it. "If I'm not mistaken, you're proposing, right?"
"Yes!" Francis nodded.
Celia's eyes flickered downward, their light extinguished in a heartbeat.
"Francis, congratulations."
"From the day I let you and Jessica be together, I knew this day would come, but..."
Choking up, Celia's tears suddenly flowed out. "I just didn't expect it to come so soon."
"You know, I envy Jessica, for getting your passionate, unique love."
"Since you're proposing, and you're dressed so handsomely, you should go, don't let me delay you, or she'll be unhappy."
Celia forced a faint, fragile smile.
At that moment, Celia suddenly moved forward, as if she was about to jump.
Alisha was terrified and cried out, "Celia, be careful, don't move."
Suddenly, Francis reached out his hand, his eyes full of tenderness as he looked at Celia.
"Celia, give me your hand, okay?"
His voice was so gentle.
Celia felt as though she was on the brink of succumbing to it.
But then, Celia suddenly regained her senses and stubbornly shook her head. "No, Francis, aren't you going to propose? Don't miss it because of me."
Francis stepped forward, his voice softened even more.
"Celia, don't be impulsive, give me your hand, don't be afraid, I'll hold you down, okay?"
This time, Celia noticed Francis's approach.
Celia immediately became agitated. "Stop, Francis, I beg you, don't come any closer."
"I'm fine, it's just cool on the windowsill, the view is good, I want to enjoy the breeze and the scenery."
Francis kept moving forward.
Celia went crazy. "Stop, I warn you, don't come any closer, or I'll jump right now."
