"WHAT!?

"

"What are you even saying!?

"

Ellen and Ryan, both were unable to digest the words completely as the comment slipped out of their lips automatically.

It was too strange to hear about the engagement.

Shirley nodded her head in agreement, clapping her hand in an overjoyed situation,

"See! I told you that you guys will be happy! Now, all of you have to prepare for this..

"

"Obviously they will do it! After all, they are Javier's special friends!

"

Shawn's voice from behind added more stress to them when they weren't able to tear off their gaze from Shawn and Shirley.

It was as if a bomb was dropped over their heads regarding Javier and they have no idea how to even react at this stage.

Similarly, Amaira, and recently entered Charles were almost feeling as if the ground beneath them had been slid.

Were they getting married? Seriously?

No one was less shocked but there was always a triumphant smile on Austin's face that never faded.

Throughout the conversation, he can feel himself already on the top of the moon.

At the same time, Jennifer stayed stagnant, not moving an inch from her space.

"T..they are getting engaged?

"

Muttering in between her breathe, her hands subconsciously clutched Hannah's elbow to a standstill.

The news was delivered to her in the most delicate way ever!

He was getting engaged and this means.. he has even said yes to it?

Since he isn't revoking to the same, does that mean everything is happening according to his wish!?

He has accepted Emily!

Jennifer wanted to ask him dozens of questions but it was too hard to even let herself slip into the situation.

Seeing her restless state, Hannah asked out of the corner,

"Control yourself. You can talk later with him..

"

Hearing this, a smirk curved over her lips out of nowhere,

"Talk? I don't believe anything or anytime is left to talk in between us anymore.

"

Tearing her gaze from in front of her back to Hannah, she stared at her with her sleepy smile,

"After all, I'm merely a hostage in this state..

"

"Jennifer..

"

Hannah wanted to say further but stopped herself when she saw how tears were formed in Jennifer's eyes.

The amount of energy that the lady used to hold her hand was already leaving a mark.

Yet it didn't disturb her as scared of how Jennifer was being gone through.

"Maybe..that's some kind of misunderstandings... Jennifer, at least, wait for some time before he gets free.

"

"No need. Everything is clear, don't you see the couple in front of you and how happy they are right now? Do you want me to go between them and interrupted their happiness? Mmm?

" Hannah instantly shook her head.

"I didn't want you to be the third wheel..

"

Since the engagement was fixed, if Jennifer comes in between, she will be the third party.

Without leaving the opportunity, Austin stepped closer to her and stood on another side of Jennifer.

Bringing his face near her hair, he whispered

"I told you, this man isn't liable at all. Tsk tsk, he lied to you till now Jennifer.

"

"Austin! Some decently!'' Hannah passed some deathly glare but it was of no use as the latter already did what he wanted to ignite the fire.

Jennifer left Hannah's hand to stare at the couple that was seated in front of her.

There was a smile on Emily's face while Javier sat there expressionless.

Neither did he try to look in her direction nor he uttered a single word.

But his actions spoke louder than any single word at this point. She couldn't believe the fact that.. someone like him can even give her betrayal?

A scoff let her lips when she relaxed, 'Now you are thinking, that staying silent will make you appear cool?'

How Can she let that happen?

While shielding a mocking smile of hers, Jennifer was ready to show that she wasn't affected by this news.

Leaving everyone behind, Jennifer first of all walked towards the couches with a slight smile over her lips.

"So you both have decided to get married? Hmm?

" She was cold in her voice and no one can deny that.

Emily raised her brows slightly to nod her head,

"You Are right. Mrs. Johnson just said that.

"

"I heard her words but just wanted to confirm if this is true. I heard that in past, many times engagement was supposed to happen but it was changed or either delayed. So is this seriously happening now?

"

Without any emotions, she blurted what was raised in the round without any prior knowledge.

Fortunately, whatever she told was abruptly true since both families were already feeling awkwardness-raising around them.

But somehow, The Dakota's managed to keep the joyness surrounding them,

"No no.. this time it will happen for sure right, Mr. Shawn?

"

"Y..yeah.

" Shawn also agreed with Mr. Dakota, despite doubt always raising in his heart regarding Javier.

Throughout her conversation, Javier never lifted his face for even a second.

Neuter did try to look into Jennifer's eyes which was already making her feel sentiments.

"That will be good, at the end you both will finally be able to be one.. isn't true?

" With a fake chuckle, Jennifer picked up one of the wine glasses from the table and raised it above her head.

With her head high, eyes red, yet managed her emotions, they were able to say,

"Congratulations for sure!

"

Keeping her gaze at Javier for few seconds, she didn't hide her emotions.

The constant glances of hers, made Javier finally lift his eyes to only meet her tears-filled eyes and there is no looking back anymore.

Controlling the emotions of hers, she was finally able to say it aloud while keeping a large store over her heart.

"Congratulations, to Javier Johnson and Emily Dakota! May you both rise and be blessed by everyone..

"

....Except me, since I will not let you take my first love from me so easily, Emily. I will not let you take my love from me so easily, neither now nor ever!

Javier is mine! Just mine!
