CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1334

After rubbing his forehead, Shane stood up with a grim expression. “Prepare the car!”

Silas' face lit up in delight when he heard Shane's approval. He grunted in acknowledgment, “Right away.”

With that, he left the office to get the car ready.

Soon, both of them were on their way to the crematorium.

As the place was located somewhere secluded in the outskirts of the city, they finally arrived after a one-and-the-half-hour drive.

When Silas' subordinate saw their car approach, he hurried over and opened the door.

“Mr. Thompson, Mr. Campbell,” he greeted respectfully.

With both hands in his pockets, Shane scrutinized the crematorium building right in front of him. He asked calmly, “Where's Jackson?” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“He's outside the makeup room,” the man answered.

“Lead us there,” Silas ordered.

After nodding at Silas, the man walked in front to lead the way.

As the place wasn't far, they arrived in two minutes.

There, Shane saw Jackson sitting outside the makeup room.

Jackson was dressed in a silvery-white tuxedo with a red flower pinned on his breast. He had lowered his head and seemed to be staring intently at something in his hand.

Shane strode over.

As the sound of footsteps broke his train of thought, Jackson looked up in the direction of where it was coming from. At the sight of Shane, his eyes glistened in surprise before he got to his feet. “Shane, why are you here?”

Standing opposite Jackson, Shane scrutinized the former with an icy gaze. At the sight of the corsage, he sneered, “What's going on? Are you holding a posthumous wedding?” Jolted by his words, Jackson shook his head when it dawned upon him what Shane was thinking. “It's not what you think, Shane. I have no such intention.”

“No such intention? Then, tell me. Why the hell are you dressed like that?” Shane's lips curled into a smirk.

Looking down at his outfit, Jackson cracked a wry smile. “I'm just fulfilling a dream of mine with this suit. Remember the time I dated Jacqueline for a month? During that time, I thought her feelings were sincere and was elated over it. Hence, I promised her that I will give her a grand wedding to which she agreed.”

“Jacqueline agreed?” Shane couldn't believe his ears.

However, when it occurred to him that Jacqueline did love Jackson, his astonishment began to recede.

I'm afraid she has already fallen in love with him back then. Or else, she wouldn't have agreed. It was just that she was unaware of the fact.

“Yes, she did. Ever since then, I began preparing the gown, ring, and a few other things.” Jackson sat back down and continued, “I had wanted to give her a surprise. Hence, I traveled to Irushea and found a famous wedding gown designer to tailor one for her. Furthermore, I commissioned a famous jeweler to design a ring for her too. My plan was to propose to her once the dress and ring were ready.”

“What happened after that?” Shane took a seat beside Jackson.

Lifting his head toward the ceiling, Jackson took a deep breath. “Before the items were completed, Jacqueline broke up with me. Subsequently, I never told her or anyone else about them. Therefore, none of you knew that I had prepared those items.”

Shane raised his chin slightly without saying anything.

Nonetheless, Jackson treated him as a listener and continued his story, “Now that Jacqueline has passed away, I felt like fulfilling my dream of marrying her by giving her the wedding gown and ring I prepared. At the same time, I wanted closure by doing so.”

“Therefore, you're not planning to kill yourself for love after holding a posthumous marriage with her?” Shane looked at him from the corner of his eye.

Jackson chuckled. “Of course not. As I told you before, I have gotten over it and won't have such thoughts anymore. I just wanted to give her what was due to her. Going forward, I won't have anything of hers with me, which isn't a bad thing after all.”
