Chapter 67 The Only Way is to Pamper Jessica
Jessica cunningly smiled, just like Grace did earlier. "I won't tell you now. It's a secret."
The suit was nicely packed in a very exquisite gift box.
As Jessica went to pay with the receipt in her hand, Grace furrowed her eyebrows tightly. She was a little indecisive, as she had actually liked the suit at first glance.
Quentin, a rigid man who always wore black suits, would surely have a special charm and appear cool if he were to wear this blue suit; he wouldn't look so old-fashioned and arrogant.
‘But what how should I give it to him, with as my identity, and for what reason?’
Grace bit her lip, hesitating until the end.
Jessica had finished shopping and, upon leaving, handed Grace the suit box in her hand. "Borrowing another's halo to present to an exceptional persona Buddha. I used Gabriel's money to buy this for you."
"This suit is for me?" Grace was surprised.
"We've known each other for so many years. Although you have been busy lately and spend most of your time filming, and, our time spent together has been reduceddeclined,. But I can still see what you're thinking," Jessica pointed out.
"That day I was going to ask if you were with Quentin."
"We are not together,." Grace answered firmly.
"Although I'm not sure what the exact nature of your relationship is now, one thing is certain,: youwe are definitely do not haveing a normal boyfriend-girlfriend relationship."
"Jessica, I'm confused now. I don't even know what we are."
Jessica handed the suit to Grace. "If you like him, why don’t you try dating him?."
"Although I have been hurt by love and have been left with scars all over, Grace, I still think it's very rare to eEncounter someone you like in the your most beautiful youth. Some people may go their whole lives without eEncountering someone they like, while others may eEncounter, but are too afraid to miss out on other opportunities."
"Maybe mMy love story doesn'tmay not have a perfect ending, and my marriage isn't perfect either,. Bbut I have the ability to love someone wholeheartedly, and I still consider myself lucky. I have no regrets, really, none at all."
"If I were to have any regrets, it would only be that the person I loved was Gabriel."
"So, Grace, if you really like him, give yourself a chance. Quentin is better than Gabriel. At least he hasn't loved anyone else, and there are no other women present in his life."
Gabriel was different; his heart was too chaotic.
Even before she entered his life, his heart was already filled with other women.
So later on, no matter how much she did, no matter how well she did it, she could only be defined as an intruder.
"Jessica," Grace called out, but in reality, she wanted to say that Quentin was more complicated than she had imagined.
However, the words didn't leave her mouth because Jessica already had enough to worry about, and she didn't want to burden her further.
"What is it?" Jessica asked when Grace didn't continue.
(Note: The translation may not be perfect and may not fully capture the context and tone of the original passage.)
Grace shook her head and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, I will protect myself."
"Okay."
About ten minutes later, Grace received Jessica's retouched photos.
When she saw the edited pictures, Grace immediately sent dozens of ‘"likes’" to Jessica.
Beautiful, absolutely stunning.
Although her photography skills were impressive and Jessica was pretty enough, the effect of the photos taken on a mobile phone lacked professionalism, with the lighting and all.
After the retouching by the editor, they looked completely different and could easily rival international blockbusters.
"Jessica, you should join the entertainment industry too. Let's form a sister duo. We would definitely outshine everyone else," Grace said excitedly.
Jessica was still trying to process this and felt a bit puzzled.
Grace immediately sent the newly retouched images to Jessica.
Looking at her own picture, Jessica couldn't believe it and exclaimed, "Is that really me in this picture?"
"Of course, it's you!"
"Grace, how did you do this?"
"It was done by my retoucherMy editor did it," Grace replied.
"Grace, you're simply amazing."
Grace quickly selected the recent pictures, clicked send, and instantly sent them all to Gabriel.
"Alright, let's wait for good news."
When Jessica saw Grace sending those pictures to Gabriel, she was caught off guard.
"Why did you send them to him? I didn't want to."
"Of course, it's to enhance your charm and make Gabriel open his eyes to see how beautiful you are. There are plenty of people who like you. We You don't need him," Grace explained.
Gabriel couldn't believe his eyes when he received the pictures.
Jessica was wearing a light apricot-colored skirt, perfectly showcasing her slender, fair legs. Although it wasn't a fitted dress, her body curves were visible, exuding elegance and beauty.
Under the soft lighting, her smile lifted at the corner of her mouth, radiating warmth and brightness.
Her eyes, shining shone like stars, as if they were filled with a whole galaxy, with numerous shining stars inside.
Gabriel zoomed in the picture with his two fingers and only then dared to confirm that the picture was indeed Jessica, not someone else.
For some reason, his hand holding the phone trembled.
Gabriel immediately called Jessica but realized his her number was blocked.
He switched to WeChatWhatsApp and sent a message, ["Where are you? I'll come pick you up.]"
His message sank into silence.
No reply.
Gabriel exclaimed, "Answer me!"
["Are you still angry?]"
["Jessica, tell me where you are.]
"
Still, there was no reply.
Gabriel immediately changed course and texted Grace, ["Where are you guys?]"
["Now Timothy Walton is getting anxious? But why should I tell you?]" Grace replied.
["Grace, I think it would be better if you just tell me. I don't want to go find Quentin.]
"
Gritting her teeth, Grace replied, ["It's no use finding Quentin, he doesn't know either.]"
["If Jessica can block you, then I can block Quentin too, Gabriel. Being arrogant won't work in front of me. Your only way is to genuinely apologize to Jessica and beg for her forgiveness. Otherwise, there's no solution.There is no other way.]"
After finishing her words, Grace directly exited the conversation, deciding not to respond further.
Gabriel was a man who had been spoiled by others. He needed to experience the feeling of being rejected firsthand, so he would understand how much Jessica was hurting and how difficult love could be.
On the other sideend, Gabriel held his forehead with his phone in hand, feeling a severe headache.
He prided himself on strategizing and being decisive in the business world, but when faced with these two women, he found himself somewhat powerless.
Just when Gabriel's face became as cold as ice, he suddenly noticed a text message on his phone.
The message indicated that Jessica had made a payment about an hour and a half ago, and he carefully examined the information.
One payment was made at a women's clothing store, and the other one at a men's clothing store.
Buying men's clothing?
Jessica definitely wouldn't buy clothes for Carter Dell.
Could the men's clothing be for him?
Thinking about this, Gabriel's mood immediately took a turn for the better, and he suddenly felt as if all his previous bad feelings had vanished.
