Chapter 290: Chapter 290

Dear Sweetheart Chapter 290 Let Us Get Married Jessica listened to him quietly. She seemed calm but was inwardly shocked.

Ringo told me that all Ixora plants were destroyed. Jefferson’s health was deteriorating, so I felt bad for him, especially after what happened at the ballroom. It turns out there are still five Ixora plants left! There is hope for Jefferson!

“Wow, Mr. York’s research team is amazing!” Jessica praised as she wondered how she could send the news to Ringo. “They will succeed for sure!”

Wyatt instantly grew jealous. He said, “Jeremy is capable, but he needs us to fund his research. All he does is spend money. He isn’t as great as me!”

“Okay, fine. You’re the best.” Jessica waved at him. “Get up and go take a shower.”

“Oh, I know you adore me, Babe!” Touched, Wyatt leaped over to kiss her. “I’ll go shower and warm up your bed later!”

Jessica slapped him away.

While Wyatt was in the bathroom, Jessica quickly got out of bed and grabbed a pen from the bedside table. She scribbled something on a notepad and tore off the note, placing it in a bag of chips.

Using the internal line, she called the restaurant and requested some food by pretending to be hungry. She also raised her voice and asked, “Wyatt, I’m ordering some food. Do you want anything?”

“Anything will do.”

Jessica grunted in response. Once the call ended, she secretly inserted another SIM card into her phone and sent a text in Anglandurn to someone saved as “Z” in her contacts.

Less than a minute later, she received a string of numbers. After reading it, she quickly deleted the text and changed her SIM card back.

Before the meal arrived, Wyatt stepped out of the shower and hopped into bed to rub himself against Jessica.

If Jessica wasn’t quick enough, he would’ve torn off her clothes.

“Stop having dirty thoughts!” Jessica kicked him away angrily. “The photos I saw this afternoon caused me great harm. I am traumatized.”

“I deleted all of them, I swear!” Wyatt vowed. In order to prove himself, he offered his phone to her so she could check it for herself. “I also did the same to my WhatsApp. The only contacts left are some important collaboration partners.”

Jessica gave him a sidelong glance. “It seems like you’re feeling guilty.”

“Of course not!”

“I no longer trust you.” Jessica pursed her lips.

However, since he had offered his phone, she took it and checked it personally.

The supermodels’ photos in his photo album had been erased. Wyatt even changed his profile picture on WhatsApp and Instagram to one of her photos and even set her photo as the chat background to appease her.

Wyatt grinned. “Look, Babe. I’ve turned over a new leaf.”

“All right, then.”

Jessica was satisfied. She was about to return his phone to him when she saw a red notification dot in his contacts. Curious, she clicked on it and saw a friend request from a woman who appeared to be very attractive based on her profile photo.

The woman also added a note: Mr. Lopez, we met at a fashion show in Kenfort in May.

“Uh, I...” Wyatt’s mind went blank. He put on an innocent expression and explained, “I don’t know who she is.”

“She said she met you at a fashion show in Kenfort. How could you say you don’t know her?” Jessica sneered. She immediately accepted the friend request from the lady, whose name was Gianna, and replied: I don’t remember you.

Gianna: Mr. Lopez, did you forget who I am? I was wearing a black velvet gown. You complimented my long legs and gave me your name card, urging me to add you on social media. I apologize for adding you this late as I have been busy recently.

She sent a photo displaying her long, fair legs and a bit of her assets.

Gianna: I heard that you’re quite the generous man who treats young ladies well, Mr. Lopez. Are you still in Norwal City? I’ll be back next month. I was wondering if you could treat me to a meal then?

“Wyatt Lopez!” Jessica flung the phone on the bed and glared at him. Gritting her teeth, she demanded, “You don’t know her, huh?”

“It happened back in June or July, so I don’t really remember.” Wyatt touched his nose guiltily. “I think I gave her my name card?

But I didn’t do anything else.”

“You didn’t do anything else?” Jessica angrily pulled his ear. “She was busy and didn’t have time to add you. But if she had added you back then, are you sure you wouldn’t have done anything?”

“Ouch! Be gentle, Babe!” Wyatt grimaced in pain. He wrapped his arms around her and said pitifully, “That was all in the past.

You’re the person I love now. I love you so much, Babe!”

He shamelessly rubbed his cheek against her neck and kissed her again and again. “Babe, will you forgive me? I shall create another social media account. I promise I won’t give my name card to others easily!”

“Scram!”

“Babe, don’t be mad at me. Forgive me.”

Wyatt did what he does best—clinging to Jessica and trying to convince her to forgive him. They were tugging back and forth when the doorbell rang.

Hearing that, Wyatt hopped out of bed. “Your meal is here. I’ll go get it!”

“I can do that myself. Stay away!” Jessica tossed his phone back to him angrily. “Register another social media account right now. If you don’t do it, I will...” She trailed off, waving her fist at him menacingly.

Wyatt shot her an ingratiating smile. “Don’t worry, Babe. I promise I’ll do a good job!”

Jessica rolled her eyes and nonchalantly picked up the bag of chips as she walked out of the bedroom to answer the door.

Outside stood a server dressed in a uniform.

“Good evening, Ms. Marsh,” the server greeted her. “I’m here to deliver your dinner.”

After saying that, the server mouthed the word “Z.”

Jessica nodded and stood aside. “Come in.”

The server moved all the dishes on the trolley to the dining table, while Jessica gave him the bag of chips covertly.

They had just completed the deal when Wyatt stepped out of the bedroom.

Wyatt was still staring at his phone as he made his way to her. “Jessie, what do you think if I use your initials and birthday as my social media username?”

“Ms. Marsh, dinner is served. Enjoy your meal!” The server quickly left the room.

Only then did Jessica let out a sigh of relief. She snapped, “No! It will be awkward if we break up after you use my name.”

“Why would we break up? I love you, Babe!” Wyatt rested his head on her shoulder and grinned. “You’re wearing my ring, so you’re mine. Other men won’t have a chance to take you away from me!”

“We got engaged, not married. Things can change anytime!”

“Jessie, I’m being serious.” Wyatt winked at her, his tone serious. “If you want to get married, let’s pick a date when we get back home!”

“What?” Jessica thought she was hearing things.

“I said, let’s get married.”

Wyatt was not his usual mischievous self. He seemed serious, and that made Jessica’s heart skip a beat as complex emotions arose in her heart.

She knew that Wyatt was smart and skilled at making money, but he had the typical bad habit of many wealthy scions—fooling around. So, she carefully customized her character and actions to win his heart.

However, he was telling her in all seriousness that he wanted to marry her.

Jessica had anticipated sudden situations like this, but when he said it out loud, she couldn’t help but think of him as foolish and useless.

He has only known me for half a year and doesn’t even know about my family background, but he still wants to marry me.
