Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 37: Elder Allen’s call

"What do you mean?"jessica asked with a frown as she stared at him in confusion.

Davis tilted his head slightly. "Your clothes are already here."

Jessica's brows furrowed. "What?" She drawled.

He nodded toward the wardrobe. "I had your things moved last night. If we're going to share a room, it only

makes sense for you to keep your belongings here and save us from trouble."

Jessica's mouth opened slightly to chose him, but no words cout. She wasn’t sure how to feel about this

arrangement.

A part of her felt the need to protest and to insist on having her own room, but another part of her believes Davis

had a point.

She sighed, rubbing her temple in frustration. "You could have at least toldbefore making such a decision for

GE

Davis shrugged. "You have gone to bed. And | thought it won't be advisable to trouble you over such a trivial

matter."

Jessica narrowed her eyes at him. "How considerate of you." She mocked with anger written clearly on her face

which Davis claimed oblivious to as a smirk tugged at his lips. "You're welcome."

Jessica exhaled sharply before turning toward the wardrobe. "Make sure to informnext tor else it won't

end well for us both." She stated.

She isn’t that unreasonable and will always prefer he discusses things with her rather than make a decision on

behalf of her.

Davis chuckled lightly as he watched her walk away. "Duly noted."

Jessica arrived at what is supposed to be the wardrobe, and the door opened on it’s own accord. Jessica eyes

widened, her mouth agape as she stared at the scene before her, she blinked her eyes repeatedly to confirm she

wasn’t dreaming —a walk in closet with latest and limited edition of wears and footwears.

She turned around to meet Davis gaze. "Is this a surprise prepared?" She chimed her voice tinged with

amusement.

Davis looked at her well composed even with the surprise and couldn’t help but wonder if anything will ever

surprise her. Looking at bright eyes boring into his with expectancy, he felt relieved the gesture was not loss.

"You can take it that way", he muttered.

Jessica's lips curled into a small smile as she stepped further into the walk-in closet, running her fingers over the

neatly arranged outfits.

Jessica's fingers lingered on the fabric, her lips curling up unconsciously. "The financial report for this quarter will

definitely increase by more than twenty percent," she mused.

Davis, who had been observing her, narrowed his eyes slightly. "What is it? You don’t like it?"

Jessica let out a light chuckle, shaking her head. "I like it very much but am thinking... How did you get them?"

Davis's gaze remained fixed on her. "They were specially hand picked."

Jessica turned to look at him, her expression unreadable. "Hand picked? By whom?"

"Byof course" Davis answered nonchalantly, silently observed her and his heart in trepidation of her next

reaction.

He had asked Ethan to make arrangements with the best clothing company and to have them send in all their

latest designs and when they arrived, he wheeled himself out of the bedroom leaving Jessica to sleep and picked

out the best among them.

He might have lost everything but the savings he had and the dividends of his shares can still keep him afloat.

Jessica didn’t expect him to go such miles as to get clothes for her but she couldn’t let him in on her identity yet.

Looking at all the clothes she had carefully crafted been presented to her she felt stumped.

How will she tell him these were her designs four months ago before she joined the Allen family? She had done

the designing following Richard's pressure of new season outfit but couldn’t be with them when it was finally

produced and now it all ended up in her hand. "Quite funny", she thought.

It is usually said do not pinch the smiling face. She wouldn't want him feeling defeated. So she had to

acknowledge the gesture and may be later she will think of ways to change it out or better still let it be.

With a sigh, she turned back to Davis, her arms crossed. "You know, this feels more like bribery than a surprise,"

she teased, raising an eyebrow.

Davis smirked. "If that is the case, has it worked?"

Jessica chuckled softly. "Well, | won't deny that it's tempting." She turned her attention back to the collection of

designer pieces, her fingers brushing over the fabrics lightly. "But... why go through all this trouble?"

Davis leaned back slightly in his wheelchair, his expression unreadable. "You're my wife now. You should have

everything you need."

Jessica stared at him for a moment, his fine features, chiseled jaw, deep eyes and bushy eyebrows —leaves her

breathless.

Jessica let out a small sigh before she nodded lightly with a smile on her lips. "Well, | appreciate it," she

admitted.

Davis sighed in relief... All these while he had been tense with so many emotions and thoughts about her next

reaction.

Davis nodded and was about to hang up when Jessica’s hand held his. "Don’t, go on and answer. You can’t avoid

them forever."she said lightly.

She always noticed how he avoids their call and contact but if he must recover his lost ego, he needs to face the

reality and not run away from it.

Davis looked at her with so many emotions swirling in his eyes after a while he sighed in surrender and picked up

the call.

Elder Allen’s relieved voice filtered through the speaker "Davis, how are you doing?" His voice aged, cracked with

emotion.

As Davis opened his mouth to object, Jessica squeezed his hand lightly and shook her head at him making him

stumped.

He swallowed hard "Okay", he managed to say.

Elder Allen felt like it was a dream, he didn’t expect him agreeing on the spot. He had prepared so many reasons

to give him yet he had agreed at an instant.

As Elder Allen wants to talk further he ended the call coldly. His gaze on Jessica who had walked into the walk in

closet to dress up as though she was never there.
