Forceful Marriage: Young Master's Mute Wife นิยาย บท 18

Blake also drank some water before he said, “After you get the prize money, remember to buy me dinner.”

Jessica was fully immersed in the fact that she won, hence she couldn't care less about Blake.

It was the first play that she had directed, and it won a prize from the TV station, so of course, she was thrilled. She nodded without a second thought.

A week later, the school was informed of the result and the winning certificate was sent over.

Jessica held the envelope in her hand. Although it might not be heavy or thick, holding the prize in her own hands was more than enough to make her delighted. She took a picture with the children together with the certificate. She then sent a message to Blake: [I’ll buy you dinner tonight.]

Dean was also at the school when the prize was sent over. He went up to Jessica and tapped on her shoulder. “Congratulations! You are awesome! You won a prize with the first play that you directed.”

Jessica smiled bashfully and put her phone back into her pocket.

Dean actually saw the message she sent to Blake, then he jokingly asked, “So, shouldn’t you buy me dinner as well?”

Jessica had completed the play with the help of many, thus it would only be natural and polite of her to thank everyone. She nodded and then signed at everyone, “Let’s go for BBQ this weekend.”

The group was overjoyed when Jessica mentioned food.

Jessica donated her portion of the prize money to the head of the department so that the money could be distributed to the children. Despite being happy about winning, she did not care about the money.

Dean actually wanted to have dinner with Jessica alone, so when she invited everyone for a celebration, he was a little disappointed. Nevertheless, he did not sulk for long before he understood he still had more chances in the future.

He smiled as he watched her tidy up her desk. Then, he said to her, “Want a lift home?”

Jessica shook her head and rejected the offer to Dean’s disappointment again. He had tried offering her a lift back home several times but failed every single time.
