Deep Affection: Honey, Come Back To Me

Chapter 363 The Engagement Party

James and Emma had not shown up yet at the banquet hall. James' parents, Daniel and Angela, welcomed all their friends and guests. They did not sit down until Emma's parents arrived. They looked very harmonious from afar.

Wearing an elegant long dress, Vivian walked through the crowd with a smile. She asked one of the waiters where the bathroom was.

There were two bathrooms in total, one for the guests and one for the staff.

Vivian went into the guests' bathroom first, walked around, and then went into the staff's.

The staff's bathroom was a certain distance from the banquet hall. To get there, she needed to cross a small garden full of lovely, blooming roses.

In the bathroom, Vivian stood in front of the wash basin, put her handbag aside, and turned on the tap. She washed her hands and checked her makeup in the mirror.

"Dad, my..." Jessica wanted to address Jason as her husband, but then she realized he was not her husband anymore. "Do you often contact Jason?" she asked.

"Of course." Every time Sam mentioned Jason, he looked happy and proud. "He calls me every week and asks how I'm doing. He even plays chess with me online sometimes."

"I see." Swallowing the bitter lump in her throat and shielding her now misty eyes, Jessica stood up and excused herself. "I have to go to the bathroom. Excuse me."

Then, Jessica turned around and left.

That was Vivian's cue to leave her spot and follow Jessica.
