When Rose saw this, although she was not sure what happened between them, as a woman, she
sympathized with Sia. Besides, she did not want Jayden to become someone she did not like. After all,
he was her friend.
"Jayden, since Sia is your fiancée, why don't you invite her to join us to celebrate your birthday?" Rose
got up and pulled Sia, "Sia, sit here."
Rose pointed to Nora's seat, which was next to Jayden.
Nora got up and was going to give up her seat to Sia. But Jayden took Nora's wrist, "Why do you get
up and give up your seat?"
"Jayden, Sia is your fiancée. She should sit next to you." Nora broke Jayden's hand, "Bullying a woman
is not what a man should do. Jayden, don't make me look down on you!"
Jayden frowned and looked at Nora and Rose with suspicion in his eyes.
"Are you guys my friends? Why are you speaking up for her?" Jayden chuckled.
"You are our friend. Sia is your fiancée. So, she naturally is our friend." Rose helped Sia and pressed
her down to Nora's seat, "Jayden, today is your birthday. Be happy."
Jayden was annoyed and flicked his hair with fingers, drinking the glass of red wine in one gulp.
"Since everyone is here, I'll be honest. This engagement is not my intention. So, I don't even recognize
Sia as my fiancée, only my family does. My marriage was decided so hastily. I can't refuse. But that
doesn't mean I am willing."
"So Sia, don't bother trying to impress me. Getting engaged to you is my bottom line. It's impossible for
me to marry you! Don't dream about it."
"I, Jayden, will only marry the girl I like. Even if she hasn't shown up, you can never be my wife."
"What's more, the Rees family picked you up from the countryside to let you marry me. They are just
using you. Why don't you find someone you like to marry? Do you have no feelings or no opinion?"
Jayden said, smashed Sia's gift on the floor. The gift box was broken.
Sia got up, walked over, and picked up the broken box and gift.
She stood still for two seconds before turning around. She looked at Jayden with tears in her eyes. But
she was strong and suppressed her emotions to keep herself from crying out.
She kept smiling and spoke softly, "Jayden, you are the one I ... like."
After saying that, she turned and ran away without looking back at Jayden.
"What did she say?"
"Jayden, she said she likes you."
Jayden snorted with disdain, "I've only met her three times. She likes me? Then she is so superficial..."
"Jayden, how do you feel while being confessed by a pure girl?"
"Too many girls have confessed to me. I've been unmoved." From childhood to adulthood, many
people had confessed to Jayden. So, he had been used to it.
"Jayden, you're so bad. The girls who like you are so miserable."
"How can you say that? It's their honor to like me. It means that they have taste."
Rose interrupted them, "Jayden, Sia ran away. Don't you go after her?"
"Jayden, Sia is your fiancée anyway. You should be a gentleman even if you do not like her. She ran
out alone. It's already late and is not safe," Nora also said.
"If you want to go, you guys go. I'm not going." Jayden was really upset about the engagement.
Rose picked up her phone and turned to leave, "As your friend, I am obliged to take care of your
fiancée for you. Jayden, just have a good time."
Rose sympathized with Sia. She remembered that she was once hurt by someone she liked. That
feeling was really bad.
Nora reached out and punched Jayden's shoulder, "Jayden, you've gone too far this time. She can't
stop the engagement. There's nothing you can do. What can she do? Even if you don't like her, don't
vent your anger on her. It's unfair. Because she's innocent too."
"Jayden, I understand your pain. If you guys really aren't suitable, there is always a way to deal with it.
Think about it and deal with it."
Nora spoke seriously, "I'll go see Rose."
"You can't go anywhere today. Drink with me." Jayden pulled her back, "Or you are not my friend."
"But Rose is alone..."
"It is okay. Someone has to be left to keep me company, right?" Jayden poured the wine, raised his
glass, and drank it all.
Seeing Jayden like this, Nora did not leave, but stayed with him.
She sent a message to Rose, saying that she was here with Jayden and asked Rose to take care.
Rose caught up with Sia in front of the restaurant and also received the message from Nora. She
replied that she caught up with Sia and was going to send her back.
"I'm Rose Linder, Jayden's friend. You can call me Rose. Can I call you Sia?" Rose introduced herself
first.
Sia nodded, held the birthday present for Jayden, and kept smiling, "Hey, Ms. Rose."
"Hey." Rose took a taxi, "I'll send you home first."
Sia shook her head, "Don't bother, Ms. Rose. It's his birthday. You go with him. I'm fine."
"Sia, Jayden is the youngest in his family. He had many elder sisters and is spoiled. But he is not bad."
Rose put in a good word for Jayden, "Since he was a child, there is nothing he can't get, and no one
can force him to do what he doesn't want to do. You were forced to get engaged, just like he was. So,
it's hard for him to accept it."
"Sia, I hope you can give him more time to get used to it. I know you're a good girl. I'm sure you can
understand him. It's true that Jayden did something wrong today. As friend, I apologize to you on his
behalf."
"Ms. Rose, no need. I won't blame him. I know I'm just a village girl from the countryside. I... am not
worthy of him or liking him. But I really like him..."
"Don't say this. I believe that you like him. Your eyes cannot lie." Rose took her hand, "But it will be
hard to get his love in return. I can see that he's not willing to get married right now. It's harder for those
who fall in love first."
"I didn't think about anything else. I just wanted to like someone." Sia looked at Rose, "Ms. Rose, I
didn't fall in love with him at first sight. I have liked him for a long time."
