Chapter 23: He Didn't Come
Chapter 23: He Didn't Come
Felicity could not sleep all night, in hopes that Jason would appear in time.
Time kept passing by; she did not know how long has passed. Finally, Felicity couldn't help but glance
at the time on the phone.
It was 12 o'clock midnight...
It was late; even if he meant to come, Jason probably would not come at this time.
Felicity gritted her teeth, the hope in her heart dimmed, little by little.
She laughed self-deprecatingly, and kept encouraging herself so that she would not be too depressed;
just keep her cool and accept it all.
Then, she went to the window and looked outside.
The bodyguards seemed tirelessly still on guard duty, without any signs of slacking off.
Was she going to just sit here and wait for death?
But there were too many guards outside, she had no chance to escape.
She stayed up all night.
At dawn, she felt despair from the bottom of her heart.
…
Early next morning, the room was unlocked from the outside.
The person who entered was Stella, her stepmother, along with several servants.
Felicity was shocked by the huge commotion.
Seeing her stepmother, her eyes became gloomy in an instant, and she stared at her with hostility.
Stella didn't care; she pointed at a few maids and ordered, "Change her clothes." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
A few maids stepped forward to take off Felicity's clothes.
"What are you doing?"
Felicity was rattled, she did not want them touching her, and she began to squirm and hide.
The maids were not very forceful, so Felicity broke away easily.
"Vincent will be here soon; we’re in a hurry, so let’s just keep everything simple. You just need to
change into the wedding dress and go directly to the church to marry Vincent!"
Stella was shrewd. In order to prevent Felicity from escaping the marriage, she had already planned all
this.
When she heard that, Felicity said angrily, "Are you out of your mind? Get out!"
She never even saw the bridegroom once, and now she had to change into a wedding dress to marry
him. What did they take her for?
"Go, hurry and dress her up quickly!"
Stella didn't care about so much, and directed the servants to get Felicity changed.
Felicity looked at the servants, grabbed a vase from the table, and held it in hand, "You dare to come
over?"
If they continue to force themselves on like this, Felicity could not guarantee that she would not be
forced to do something crazy.
When push came to shove, no one would get out easily!
Seeing Felicity like this, the servants were afraid to step forward and did nothing.
Stella didn't panic, "Felicity, are you going to ignore your mother's life? Look at this photo..."
As she spoke, she took out her cellphone and threw it in front of Felicity.
Felicity took it and saw a photo of her mother Sarah in the hospital bed.
Felicity could not repress the anger that arose in her heart, "What did you do to my mother?!!!"
Stella saw Felicity's panicked face and smiled triumphantly, "If you want to watch your mother die, keep
resisting!"
Felicity was devastated, and her entire body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"What have you done to my mother?"
She tried her best to remain calm; she had to ensure her mother's safety.
If they dared to touch her mother, she would definitely fight them back in full force!
"Nothing yet, but it all depends on you. If you get angry again, the consequences may be disastrous."
Stella scoffed coldly; it was far too easy to control this little girl.
"…"
Felicity gritted her teeth in hatred.
These sons of bitches; even at a time like this, they still would not leave her mother alone!!!
"Felicity, you'd better behave and marry Vincent, this is actually a blessing for you."
Based on Felicity's dire situation, what choice did she have?
"You keep them away, I will change myself..."
Felicity clenched her teeth, and gave in for the safety of her mother.
"Huh? Have you finally decided to behave?"
Stella was astonished, and immediately became filled with pride. As expected, threats using Felicity’s
mother was the most effective method.
"I will come out after I have changed myself."
Felicity took a deep breath and said with a cold face.
Stella sneered, "That's right, compromise early and there won't be so many issues."
Afterwards, Stella withdrew her servants, and then said to Felicity, "I warn you, don't pull any tricks;
come out after you’ve changed clothes!"
Felicity was so angry that her liver hurt a little, but she had no choice.
Her mother could not endure any suffering; Felicity was too afraid of anything bad happening to her
mother.
So, Felicity could only put on this damned wedding dress.
Putting on a wedding dress should be the most beautiful moment in a woman's life, but when she wore
it, it felt like she had suffered a great indignity in her life.
At this moment, Felicity still silently hoped in her heart that Jason would show up in time.
Perhaps, he was just too busy last night and didn't have time to come; maybe he would come during
the day?
Felicity can only comfort herself silently like this.
She deliberately took a long time to change clothes; just when she was finished, the car outside
honked.
Felicity was excited and quickly looked out the window, filled with hope that Jason arrived.
How disappointed she was to see that the car was not Jason’s.
The people who stepped out the car were all people she did not know.
Instead, Stanley ran up to welcome those people warmly.
When the two parties talked, she vaguely heard the name “Vincent” being mentioned.
It looked like this man was the one she was going to marry.
He looked like a decent man, but in reality, he was a man of domestic violence.
Felicity’s heart sank again. She did not expect he would come so soon. What about Jason?
Is he really not coming?
Felicity's heart was clenched tightly.
