Chapter 16 " Well , Cecilia must be trying to scare me on purpose ," Gavin suddenly realized . The colleagues in the Project Division looked at each other in confusion . Everyone knew about Cecilia's resignation , but Gavin didn't . " She's just trying to get back at me for not comforting her lately . She's still preparing for our wedding . I'll find evidence of her lies and prove that she doesn't want to break up with me," Gavin muttered , trying to suppress his anger . He grabbed the potted plant and drove home in the pouring rain . +15 When he got home , Gavin found the letter from the wedding dress shop buried among the pile of envelopes . He suddenly smiled . " I knew it , Cecilia is still preparing for our wedding ." Gavin didn't open the letter . Instead , he drove to the wedding dress shop to pick up her dress . He had accompanied Cecilia to this shop once , but he couldn't remember the way and had to rely on the GPS the entire time . The rain was pouring heavily . Gavin held an umbrella , but still got drenched . The shop was decorated to resemble a wedding scene to give customers a better experience when trying on wedding dresses . Gavin remembered that when they first came here , Cecilia had picked out a few dresses to try on for him . He sat in the lounge , working on documents , and only looked up at her once . The staff had marveled at her beauty , and he just thought she looked fine . He always knew Cecilia was beautiful . He had just gotten used to it , so he didn't feel overwhelmed by her looks . Besides , such a beautiful Cecilia already belonged to him . " Gavin , I think the finished wedding dress doesn't look as good . I want to customize one , " Cecilia said , sitting beside him , flipping through the design sketches . " Custom dresses take time , but since we haven't set a date yet , let's customize one . I used to love … At that moment , Gavin received a call from the company , so he didn't pay much attention to what Cecilia had said . Now , with his eyes closed , he couldn't remember what Cecilia had been about to say . Marriage was a matter for both people , but he hadn't really thought about it . He neither took the initiative nor refused , more like assuming Cecilia would wait for him . As long as Cecilia was still waiting with the dress , it meant her feelings hadn't changed and she still wanted to marry him . " Mr. Foster ? What brings you here ? " The shop manager , Tina Harper , came out to greet him . Gavin snapped out of his thoughts and held up the letter . " This is the one you sent , right ? Where is Cecilia's wedding dress ? " 1/3 +15 Chapter 16 Tina looked puzzled . " Did Ms. Jordan want to see it ? Please , this way . " Hearing this , Gavin felt a huge sense of relief . As long as the dress was still there , it meant Cecilia hadn't given up on marrying him . Just as he had suspected , everything she said yesterday was just in anger and lies . However , Gavin was a bit surprised when he saw that her dress wasn't hanging up but was packed in a box . When he opened the box , he was stunned to see the wedding dress had been shredded . His eyes widened in shock . " What does this mean ? Why is Cecilia's wedding dress cut like this ? Did you damage it ? " Tina looked even more confused and explained , " Mr. Foster , about a month ago , Ms. Jordan called to cancel the wedding dress . She paid for it but didn't request the dress to be sent back . She asked us to dispose of it . " We sent out the notice for the final date , and when we didn't receive a call from Ms. Jordan to cancel , the dress was shredded . " Gavin couldn't believe it . He opened the letter and saw the date when the dress was shredded . The deadline had passed . Tina cautiously asked , " Mr. Foster , you didn't know about this ? " Gavin froze . ' I didn't know Cecilia had made such a decision . Now that the dress is shredded , there's no wedding . Does she really want to break up ? Does she no longer want to wait for me to agree to marry her ? ' Gavin couldn't control his rapid breathing and anger . He grabbed the box with the shredded dress and stormed out . Sitting in the car , his fingers stiffly dialed Cecilia's number . The call was blocked . " Cecilia , what the hell are you doing ? " Gavin couldn't accept the situation and yelled in frustration to himself . Around 3 PM , the sky was covered with dark clouds . Gavin felt suffocated . Driving through the rain , he called Charles . " Cecilia really wants to break up with me ! " Hearing his distressed voice , Charles immediately stopped his meeting . " Gavin , is Cecilia just being jealous and throwing a tantrum ? You should comfort her , she wouldn't leave you ." " We've been together for so many years , how could she break up with me ? " Gavin glanced at the box with the shredded dress on the back seat . His voice was tight with anger , on the verge of losing his rationality . " I never had anything going on with Stella . Why can't she trust me ? She's the one resigning and deciding to break up on her own . I'm going to ask her right now . How can she do this ? " Gavin said . " You're going to see Cecilia now ? I'll come too and help talk to her . " Charles said as he grabbed his suit jacket and headed out . Gavin's breathing grew more frantic , nearly gritting his teeth as he spoke , " Cecilia has been with me since childhood , I understand her . She won't change and can't change . What belongs to me will never be out of my control … " Gavin , calm down , are you driving ? " At that moment , the sound of a car's emergency brakes came through the phone . Charles ' face changed instantly . " Gavin ! " At the intersection , Gavin's black Maybach collided with a turning vehicle , leaving a mess at the scene . ** 2/3 12:46 Tue , Aug 12 GC 94 % X +15 Chapter 16 The day after Cecilia became Jacqueline's disciple , she went with Chloe to register their studio . " Celestia Studio is such a beautiful name . I'll design a logo when we get back . You've worked hard overseeing the studio's renovations these days . Once the studio in the villa is ready , I'll continue learning from Professor Collins and start thinking about new works , " Cecilia said , holding an umbrella in the pouring rain . " Sounds good . I'm also looking forward to your new works . Our two bosses are going to make big money ! " Chloe replied with a smile , always supporting Cecilia no matter what she said . Just as they returned to the villa , Cecilia suddenly received a call from Charles . " Cecilia , hurry to the hospital ! There's been a car accident ! " Hearing this , Cecilia asked , nervously , " You had a car accident ? Which hospital are you at ? " She quickly got back into the driver's seat , ready to head to the hospital . " It's not me , it's Gavin . He got into a car accident , " Charles said urgently . " He was on his way to see you , but ended up in an accident . He's in the hospital now and is emotionally shaken . Hurry up and get here ." Suddenly , Cecilia froze . 田 AD Com
