The highlight of Melinda’s day was meeting Jacob’s girlfriend.


    If the girl turned out to be kind and decent, it could mean wedding bells in their future.


    Melinda’s greatest wish was to see Jacob start a family before her death.


    She held high hopes for this young woman.


    “Grandma, it’s her.


    ” Jacob gestured toward where Shelia stood with a wave of his hand.

    Lindsey and Shelia stood shoulder to shoulder.


    When they noticed Jacob’s wave, they both turned to look at him simultaneously.


    Melinda approached them using her cane.


    Aware that Jacob was calling her, Shelia beamed with anticipation.


    After tonight, her marriage with Jacob would be a sure thing.


    She would be the envy of everyone.


    Her life had never shone so brightly before.


    With a wide grin, Shelia approached Melinda, extending her hands to offer support.


    However, Melinda didn’t even acknowledge her presence.


    She walked past Shelia and went straight to Lindsey, enthusiastically taking hold of her hands and giving her a thorough once-over.


    Her eyes sparkled with delight as she spoke, “Youngdy, you must be Jacob’s girlfriend.


    You’re stunning, and your demeanor is impable.


    That red dress suits you wonderfully.


    I liked such a vibrant red dress when I was your age.


    By the way, what does your family do? Go ahead, tell me everything about you.


    ”


    A hush fell over the gathering.


    It was awkward.


    Jacob’s actual girlfriend had already arrived, yet Melinda still confused Lindsey for Jacob’s girlfriend.


    Lindsey hadn’t drawn much attention standing beside Shelia at the beginning.


    But now, in her dazzling evening gown and delicate makeup, she outshone everyone, leaving Shelia feeling overshadowed.


    Anyone who saw Lindsey couldn’t help but be captivated, especially Melinda, who eagerly anticipated her grandson’s choice of a girlfriend.


    People exchanged nces, their eyes filled with amusement and sympathy as they shifted their focus to Shelia.


    Then, their gazes returned to Jacob, whose attention was fixed on Lindsey.


    Jacob was also amazed by her beauty today.


    Shelia’s expression shifted dramatically.


    She was filled with the urge to dash forward, rip Lindsey’s red dress to shreds, and scratch her pretty face.


    Kendra suddenly realized she might have made a grave mistake.


    Not only had she inadvertently made Lindsey the center of attention, but she had also drawn Melinda’s interest towards her.


    She wondered how she could rectify this situation for her daughter.


    Benny, caught off guard by the unfolding events, stood by, unsure of how to react.


    Lindsey, poised and calm, rified, “Ma’am, I’m not Jacob’s girlfriend.


    The person you’re looking for is right there.


    ”


    She then directed her gaze towards Shelia.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Melinda’s expression instantly turned rigid.


    She shifted her attention to Shelia.


    She frowned unhappily.


    Shelia, attempting to maintainposure, forced a smile and introduced herself, “Nice to meet you, I am Jacob’s girlfriend, Shelia.
