My Wealthy Husband

Chapter 16 I Never Had a Crush on Someone

“Thank you. I don’t think it suits me well. Forget it.”

The shopping guide got a dark face and murmured after a while.

“I wouldn’t have showed you the dress if I know earlier that you don’t take it. It’s a waste of time.”

Emilie’s expression was stiff for a moment. But Nova suddenly said.

“How much is the dress? I’ll pay for it.”

Emilie got stunned. She turned to see Nova and smiled at her.

“Nova, you won the lottery? So generous?”

Nova gave her a big smile, then turned to the guide. She said in a deep voice, frowning.

“Take me to the checkstand. Beside, where is your manager? I have to feedback the service attitude of his staff with him.”

The shopping guide was a little angry and worried. Standing over there, Jacob watched what had happened there, without saying a word.

Emilie nudged Nova and whispered.

“Easy! It’s not a big deal.”

Then she looked at the man behind Nova. Emilie paused and smiled.

“You’ve got a new boyfriend?”

Nova felt puzzled first, but then she realized that there was a man with her here. She coughed. As she was about to speak, Jacob suddenly stepped forward and offered his hand.

“Hello, I’m Jacob Chapman, Nova’s new boyfriend as you said.”

Nova’s face suddenly turned red, but she didn’t retort.

Emilie looked at Nova and then at Jacob. After a while, she gave a gentle smile, and shook hands with him.

“I’m Emilie, Nova’s best friend.”

Jacob laughed and said.

“I know about you! Nova ever said to me that you were the cutest girl in T university.”

Unlike enchanting Nova, Emilie looked more gentle. Married, she was of womanly charm. Jacob looked at her with open and complimentary eyes.

Nova was wondering when she had said it to him. He might hear her talk with Emilie on the phone and guessed it.

What he said got Emilie surprised, then she laughed.

“I wouldn’t boost myself of the cutest girl. Nova was truly the generally accepted cutest girl in our university.”

Nova felt a little awkward. As expected, her image of a perfect wife was just for her parents-in-law. She was still naughty in front of her.

Jacob also laughed in a low voice, with gentler eyes on Nova.

“This one on Miss Emilie and that one.”

Jacob pointed to the white dress on the mannequin at the door.

“Take a size M and let her try it on.”

Without saying a word, the shopping guide hurried to pick up the dress.

Emilie looked at Jacob’s back, and said to Nova in a low voice.

“Nova, It’s really good to find such a generous boyfriend for yourself. This dress is considered as a gift for me from both of you.”

Nova gritted her teeth.

“You are trying best to save money. This dress costs not so much, so you didn’t take it for the sake of your parents-in-law.”

Emilie giggled and said.

“I’m not spending your money. If you envy, you hurry to marry him and control his purse strings.”

Nova rolled her eyes. In fact, she knew that Emilie had to report the bill to her mother-in-law even if she just spent a cent. She was too proud to argue for a dress with the Mcdonalds, which frustrated Nova a lot. However, she couldn’t meddle in her marriage too much.

Nova was encouraged to try on the white dress picked by Jacob. Over ten minutes later, she walked out of the dressing room.

Jacob’s expression, at the moment of seeing Nova, became solid slightly.

The dress suited her well. The V-shaped neckline was deeply cut and her breasts were well-shaped in the cloth. The cleavage can be seen and the tassels hung off the shoulders, fluttering in the breeze. Her raven hair went down to her lower back. In white and with black, she looked noble and elegant.

Emilie boasted.

“You overshadow everyone here. Nova, the more mature you are, the more attractive you become!”

Nova felt uneasy and pulled her dress, then she glared at her. Emilie laughed and pointed to Jacob. Nova looked up at his deep eyes, and her face tuned red involuntarily.

Jacob stepped toward her and stroked the hair off her cheek.

“You’re beautiful.” Whispered Jacob.

There were no fancy words, but he praised her sincerely. Nova coughed and said. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Let’s go for dinner.”

Jacob nodded and said.

“Would you like to go with us, Miss Emilie?”

Emilie smiled.

“Yes. In return, I can tell you some of Nova’s love stories according to the quality of your treat.”

With wide eyes, Nova gnashed her teeth. Jacob narrowed his eyes and whispered.

“It sounds interesting.”

His voice was low and gentle, but Nova shivered inexplicably.

Jacob took the two ladies to a French restaurant. He talked to the waiter in fluent French. Nova couldn’t catch them with her poor French. She looked at Jacob and smiled. In a low voice, he had a clear pronunciation and a pure accent. The song must be very beautiful if he sang.

“Come here! Let’s sit over there.”

Jacob came over, took them to their seats, and made an order. He peered at Emilie and said seriously.

“Let’s start with Nova’s first suitor”

Emilie got a sudden cough, nearly spitting out her drink. Looking at Nova’s red face, she said with a suppressive smile.

“I don’t know who her first suitor is, but I’ll tell you from the time I met Nova.”

Jacob took a look at Nova and said with a smile.

“Please!”

After several glasses of the wine, Emilie started to tell recklessly.

“If the suitors of Nova stood in line, the line would be as several times long as the snack street. But Nova never gave an eye on anyone of them. But…”

Emilie frowned, shaking head,

“She fell in love with an irresponsible bastard!”

Nova frowned and poked her.

“Stop it!”

Emilie also thought it was inappropriate to say that, so she changed the topic.

“Mr. Chapman, I’ve told you all I know about Nova. You should also tell us about your own love story. There must be a lot of admirers for a man like you who is successful, with an extraordinary look.”

On hearing this, Nova looked up at Jacob and straight into his eyes. Then she turned to avoid them. She was keen on how much he had loved someone and had a baby when he was so young.

Jacob laughed and said frankly.

“Before I was 23 years old, I was trained in the army. Surrounded by all men, I got no suitors, but I was a suitor of someone.”

Emilie felt curious and asked.

“Male or female?”

Nova slapped her on the shoulder and said.

“Shut up!”
