With this, Shirley bought the ring out of the velvet box and brought it in front of Javier,

"Keep it and put it in the ring finger of our lovely Emily.

"

Taking The same from her hand, Javier stared at the diamond ring that he just picked. It was beautifully stunning but didn't bring the same joy as two nights away.

"C'mon Javier! Don't be shy…put it in her finger fast!

" Mrs. Dakota also teased Javier a little bit but that didn't make much of the difference either.

As Javier was already in the middle of hundreds of emotions, subconsciously, he picked her left hand into his...staring in a daze.

The look of his face brought slight discomfort on her forehead but she covered it well before it had been seen.

"I have waited for this moment for so long Javier...

"

The bright smile on her face was enough to make others believe that she was already overwhelmed with her lifetime wish coming true but none could actually realize that Javier was consumed with heartbreak.

At last, without giving it much of his thought anymore, Javier brought his right hand near to hers and slid the ring in her ring finger.

"It..it's.. done.

"

"Congratulations!! God, the ring so beautiful on Emily's hand!

" Shirley commented back when Emily raised her hand to showcase her ring to everyone. The level of excitement she was at, was already reaching its peak.

However, no one took much notice of Javier's expression, as his eyes traveled into her direction of Jennfier whose mocking smile faded and was replaced with a cold mist.

'I'm sorry my love… if only I can tell you why I have been put in this situation in at first place..' at this point, he had the urge to get away from the crowd and kiss on her those puffy cheeks, but he restricted himself from doing so.

At the same time, Emily's gaze followed his to see him when she said,

"It is my turn now. Mom.. ring please.

" As she said this, Mrs. Dakota brought the ring and gave it to her daughter

It was a simple man's rings made of the stunning silver plating when Emily took the hand of Javier's without knowing that he wasn't even bating her an eye.

"Javier, with this, I promise to always cherish you in my life.

"

As if the words brought him out of his daze, Javier seemingly nodded but didn't respond with the words. Slowly and steadily, her hand moved to his ring finger when Jennifer's face turned scornful.

Hannah already noted the drop in the aura of her friend, can already relate to the same,

"Your man is going to be claimed by some else. Are you sure that you won't do anything anymore?

"

The words were enough to bring a chuckle out of her lips when she shook her head,

"Is there any fun to do so? The man chose to get Emily', as his fiance why should I even interfere in this?

"

"Yet you are his first wife. If you wish, you can already create a scene here and test me, that will probably be a shock to all.

" Austin suggested when he plugged his hand in his pocket.

But Jennifer had no such plans. Rather she wishes to let them have their piece of happiness, not minding to come in between for now.

"Let Emily and Javier enjoy this moment. Until the bomb drops over her head sooner or later.

"

Both Hannah and Austin had no clue what she is pulling ahead. Neither did she tell them about her ideas too, nor did they ask. But sure enough, he will not be gone without facing her wrath.

As, Jennifer once again took the filled glass of wine in her hand, the eyes of hers were burning in fury. They were filled with betrayal which she received within two days of her marriage. 'And I will not forget this day of my life ever, Javier Johnson..'

'Hah! Emily, do you think that you successfully defeated me? Wait until you actually have the chance to marry him or not..' her mind and rules were very much clear when she knew what she has to do in the near future.

As her gaze averted from the engagement, Emily slid the ring in Javier's ring finger when claps were heard from all the directions around them.

"Finally! The two lovebirds are engaged!

"

"Wedding will be soon too! Congratulations Javier and my dear Emily.

" Mr. and Mrs. Dakota were the ones who stopped ahead and hugged both the couples with warmness in their actions.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Dakota and Mrs. Dakota.`` Javier formally addressed them when Mr. Dakota lovingly resolved,

"You should start calling me your dad now

"

"I will do the same when we will be married officially...maybe in near future. Until then, I'm good with how I address you. L hopefully you won't mind.

" Javier said with a half-smile to not offend them either way. Neither Did they feel bad.

Offering them a bear hug, they stepped aside to let the other elders, also bless them. Shawn and Shirley came forward with a smile all over. while Shirley came to hug Emily, when Shawn tried to go and hug Javier, he willingly took a few steps back, avoiding the hug himself.

Without even sparing them any of his glances, his eyes awaited the presence of his brother but didn't come across the one, 'Where is brother Charles now?'

He was eagerly waiting for him but Shawn was angered with his son's actions.

"Don't create anything wrong here..

"

Without even staring at his father, Javier asked in a sour tone,

"Better for you to go and attend the guests instead of greeting me.

"

As Shawn had no willingness to create any mess at this point, he left the stage. Shirley stuck by his side, after giving Emily a secretive look.

Yet when Javier was supposed to call for his brother, all of them heard a noise, getting their attention for once and all.

TANG!
