Chapter 1595 Queenie Gave Birth to a Boy
“There should be some backdoor dealings behind this. There’s no way she could earn this award if not through connections,” Lisa hissed through gritted teeth.
At that exact moment, nervousness filled Jessie’s heart. However, when Julian slid her palm into his, she calmed down under his touch. She was suddenly filled with overwhelming certainty that she could take things head-on with him by her side.
When the pair stood at the center of the stage, their mere presence practically revealed to the world that they were undoubtedly a perfect couple. The audience couldn’t help but agree that they were the ideal match made for each other.
“Jessie, would you mind sharing what’s on your mind right now? Are you happy? Are you surprised to hear you won the award?” The hostess walked over to them and asked cheerily.
Jessie took over the microphone and nodded naturally. “Yes, I’m indeed both thrilled and surprised. I’ve never considered winning an award when I came to attend the ceremony.”
“But your movie ranked the highest-grossing film of the year. So, you should’ve made a mental preparation for winning an award tonight,” the host pressed.
“I never gave it more than a passing thought. After all, the movie only became a success mainly due to the director, the team behind it, and all the other staff involved in the movie.” Once she answered, the host directed their attention at Julian and asked, “Julian, what about you? What’s your favorite moment on the stage?”
“The best moment will be nothing but standing by Miss Silverstein’s side when she receives the award.” Julian didn’t hesitate to answer.
The host let out a chuckle before teasing, “It seems like winning the award yourself is second to accompanying Miss Silverstein to receive the award on your list.”
The envious eyes of the audience were glued to Jessie. The best actor, Julian, made it clear that he was merely her companion on the stage tonight. Therefore, her most outstanding achievement tonight was never getting an award but having him by her side for the rest of her life.
Heat rushed to her face, and she pursed her cherry-red lips at his words. However, before she could dwell on it, the hostess shot another question at her, “Miss Silverstein, may I ask, do you have any plans for the future?”
Jessie got lost in a train of thought but couldn’t think of a satisfactory answer. Then, she turned to Julian on the side to seek his help, only to see the man smiling at her. “Isn’t it getting married?”
Her cheeks immediately flushed crimson at his reminder. Finally, she nodded firmly and told the hostess, “He’s right. I’m taking my time to enjoy dating before I get married.”
“If so, is Miss Silverstein perhaps suggesting that you’re marrying Mr. Gilmore?”
Jessie nodded the second time with pure bliss spread across her face. “Yes. It’s him.”
The awards ceremony no longer held its significance when it became a place where every audience witnessed Jessie and Julian’s strong affection for each other.
It was a starry night, filled with stars twinkling from the sky and stars attending the awards ceremony. By the time they arrived home, it was already 11.30PM. After a bath, Jessie changed into her comfy pajamas and took the opportunity to finally relax. The stiffness in her shoulders had never once disappeared during the ceremony due to her nervousness about being one of the participants tonight. A pair of hands reached behind her and kneaded her stiff muscles just when she tried to massage the soreness out of her shoulders.
She fluttered her eyes shut in comfort, leaned into his touch, and enjoyed his hands massaging her shoulders as a faint smile painted across her lips.
Julian was captivated by her beauty tonight. After he ensured she had finally let loose of all the stress, he stood still behind the couch and leaned down to kiss her soft, red lips.
The kiss drew a moan out of her, which made her shyness reach its peak due to their intimacy. That’s not how you kiss!
Nevertheless, there was no doubt that the man was a good kisser, and she couldn’t tear herself away from his ministrations. Soon, he bent down to carry her in his arms and returned to the room.
After the awards ceremony, Julian turned down all job offers and took Jessie on a trip abroad. They spent quality time together without worrying about their careers and other trivial matters.
Then, July approached in a blink of an eye, bringing Queenie’s due date closer day by day. Frankly, after she had experienced the pregnancy for months, she couldn’t help but feel that it was finally her time to give birth to her child.
Just as expected, Queenie gave birth to the youngest son of the Manson Family through a C-Section, who weighed seven pounds at birth. The baby boy clenched his fists as his wail resounded through the room, which thoroughly amazed the nurses in the delivery room. It was their first time seeing a newborn with such delicate features yet a very healthy set of lungs.
Still, judging by his parent’s looks, it was only natural that the child would eventually grow into a handsome young man in the future.
Both elders of the Manson Family and the Silverstein Family were glad to receive the news. After all, good tidings of the mother and the child being in excellent health were the best information they would ever hope for.
