Chapter 114
Seeing Queenie being more approachable, Winona handed her a piece of fruit and said, "Mom, I'll find a solution. Don't stress yourself out, or Jaxon will scold me." Queenie took the fruit from Winona and felt her anger dissipate. "All right, get the Salvatore Group under control soon. It's good for you and everyone else."
Facing the pressure from the Lindstrom family and Mikayla's threats...
Winona had been pondering the issue on her way back to her newlywed mansion. She was completely unaware of Jaxon's grim expression next to her. They changed into slippers when they arrived home.
Jaxon suddenly turned around, nearly causing Winona to bump into him.
"What's wrong, Jaxon?" she asked.
With a stern expression, Jaxon turned and looked at Winona. "That day, when Mikayla found us at the mansion, did you deliberately arrange it?"
Winona's heart skipped a beat when Jaxon brought up the incident.
"Jaxon, what are you talking about?" She stood in place, clutching her clothes, trying to remain composed.
"That day, you insisted on taking me to the mansion that Mikayla and I are going to use after marriage. Was it on purpose?" Jaxon had suspected it before, but he didn't believe it. Winona smiled. Her clear eyes showed no sign of deceit. "Jaxon, how could you say that? Since you said you were going to marry Mikayla, I haven't harbored any hopes of being with you." Looking at her delicate face from a short distance away, Jaxon finally looked away after a while.
"Okay." Jaxon circled the coffee table and sat on the couch. Indeed, Winona had shown him the receipts from the hospital last time and said she would go for an abortion.
Winona approached him, sat on his lap, and coquettishly wrapped her arms around his neck. "Jaxon, are you feeling too much pressure lately?"
Jaxon pinched his eyebrow and said, "Maybe."
"Don't worry, I'll help you!" She bit her lip while circling Jaxon's chest. "Jaxon..."
Jaxon frowned and pulled her hand away. "You're pregnant."
Winona cupped his face directly and kissed him on his lips.
Since they got married, Jaxon had been using her pregnancy as an excuse. Besides, he even suspected her tonight. Winona thought she had to find a way to dispel his doubts. Pressed against his body, she nodded softly.
Jaxon instantly understood. He unzipped her coat and pounced on her.
As they kissed, Jaxon suddenly uttered, "Mikayla."
It was like a bucket of cold water poured directly over Winona's head.
However, Jaxon seemed to not remember that the name he called out wasn't hers.
After kissing, Jaxon went to the ensuite bathroom in his room to wash up.
Winona lay on the bed, the name Jaxon called echoing in her ears.
'Why? Mikayla, why do you keep pestering me? Why do you always go against me? What spell did you cast on Jaxon? What do you have to hold onto?' she thought. Soon, the weekend arrived.
Because Mikayla's feet were still not suitable for long-distance travel, they decided to shoot the wedding photos in Xosa.
Xosa also had a nice dedicated
shooting site, focated in a relatively
remote suburb. It was a
photography site built by Xosa's government with heavy investment, featuring iconic buildings and, environments from various regions and countries. It has not only attracted citizens of Xucror but also many foreign wedding
photographers.
Over time, it had become a regional scenic spot in Xosa.
It was 7 a.m.
Mikayla was sitting in the VIP room getting her makeup done with Juliet yawning beside her.
There were more than 10 staff members around, each with their own duties, while Mikayla sat there enjoying the highest level of service.
Juliet was the first one who received the news that Mikayla and Carlos were going to take wedding photos. She felt a pang of envy and jealously.
She had made it clear that time that she must come and see.
"Mikayla, when do you think Brantley will propose to me? I want to be a bride too..." Juliet sat next to Mikayla, watching the busy staff members styling the latter's hair and applying makeup. "You'll have to ask Brantley about that! Why ask me? I can't say for sure," Mikayla laughed. She could hardly deal with Juliet.
"I wonder if a dense man like him, whose focus is only on his work every day and nothing else, would propose..." At that time, Juliet looked at the beautiful wedding dresses in the window display with full expectation.
"How about a change? You can propose to Brantley yourself!" Mikayla joked.
"Mikayla! You! Forget it. I won't argue with the bride-to-be!" Juliet gritted her teeth at first, but later she picked up the brush on the table and absentmindedly brushed her face.
Feeling bored, Juliet stood up and suddenly thought of something. "Mikayla, the spokesperson of your company is still Lauren, right?"
"Yes!" Mikayla remembered that her company had been renewing the contract with Lauren for years! It had never changed.
"The other day, I went to a party organized by my friend in the entertainment industry. I heard from one of the girls that she had some bad habits. You should be careful," Juliet warned. Usually, she would go to parties in the entertainment industry when she was free.
She never cared about work-related matters, but since it was related to Mikayla, she decided to mention it. Whether it was useful or not, she didn't know.
Hearing Juliet's words, Mikayla remembered that if their product was to launch as planned, Lauren would also be their spokespersons. It was a decision decided by the senior management. "Okay! I'll keep an eye on it," Mikayla said.
After applying her natural makeup, she changed into the first set of wedding dresses.
Her wedding dresses were all crafted by foreign masters, and they're priceless. Each set had its own unique features, all designed and made by Carlos himself with the help of renowned designers. Juliet walked over and glanced at Mikayla while making clicking sound.
The long train gown exuded a hint of sensuality, and Mikayla's voluptuous figure was wrapped inside it, making it hard to tell if she complemented the dress or if the dress complemented her.
Featuring a strapless design, it
showcased her beautiful collarbones
and smooth skin. Adorned with small rhinestones above the waist, the most eye-catching part was the double-layer design below, hinting at her slender legs and highlighting the soft beauty of femininity
