Chapter 11
“Try it on,” Jasper ignored the two of them and said to Wendy with a smile. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
In the last life, he dared not get close to Wendy, but this life was different. He was rich and would be even richer in the future!
When a man did not have to think about his financial situation, he would naturally exude a fascinating self-confidence, not to mention Jasper who had led two lives. As Wendy said before, the two completely different temperaments of maturity and youth were intertwined. It was like a drug that made women unable to extricate themselves.
Looking at the necklace lying in the jewelry box, it looked even more radiant under the bright light of the Cartier counter. Wendy felt a little flustered. It was not because of the valuable price tag of 800,000, however. As the daughter of the richest man in the province, this was not enough to shock her.
It was mainly because under Jasper’s gaze, Wendy felt incredibly nervous. It was not appropriate to put her hands anywhere and she dared not even look at Jasper straight in the eye.
She could only turn her gaze away and say in a panic, “I… This is too expensive.”
Why would a man give a necklace worth 800,000 to the opposite sex?
Even a fool would understand.
With her mind in a mess, Wendy only felt flustered and subconsciously wanted to escape.
At this moment, Jasper picked up the necklace, stood in front of Wendy, and said softly, “Lower your head. I’ll put it on for you.”
Jasper’s voice was very gentle but with a power of reassurance. Wendy subconsciously obeyed his orders.
The skin on the back of Wendy’s neck was white and delicate with some mischievous green veins scattered around. The distance between the two was very close and Wendy could feel the masculinity of Jasper’s body!
As for Jasper, he was intoxicated by Wendy’s faint maiden fragrance.
Watching this scene, Felix’s expression darkened. He had already viewed Wendy as his woman in his heart!
Right now, Jasper was acting so intimately with Wendy in front of him. The more hateful thing was that Wendy did not resist at all!
‘Damn it. If you can’t buy it later, you’ll get it from me!’ Felix thought inwardly.
After gently helping Wendy put on the necklace, Jasper took a step back and looked at it carefully before praising, “Beautiful…”
Wendy was already very beautiful, but this necklace was able to accentuate her skin and temperament even more!
When Wendy raised her head wearing this necklace, she seemed to be the most elegant and exquisite goddess. There was nothing more beautiful than her at this moment. Looking at her reflection in the mirror that was being held by the salesperson, Wendy only saw her flushed cheeks and her moist, shy eyes. This was not her usual self at all. She totally looked like a silly little girl having her first crush!
Wendy was a little angry about her lack of resistance in front of Jasper.
“It is beautiful, but can you afford to buy it?”
Felix sneered, “If you can’t, then get out of here quickly. Stop embarrassing yourself here. It’s not your fault you’re poor, but it’s wrong to be poor and still be pretentious in a place like this. It’s fine if you
make a fool of yourself, but why drag Wendy along with you?”
Wendy glanced at Felix and said stiffly, “Felix, I never thought about asking Jasper to buy me a gift, so you don’t have to agitate him. We won’t fall for it. Jasper, let’s go.”
Wendy did not want Jasper to buy her a necklace just because of a moment of anger. After mediating the situation, she was about to take off the necklace and leave. However, Jasper stood still and held Wendy’s hand as he chuckled lightly. “It’s really beautiful. You don’t have to take it off.”
“Swipe the card.” Jasper then handed his card over.
“Hahaha!” Felix laughed wildly. “Do you have 800,000 in your card? Are you done pretending already? Are you going to say you got the wrong card when the transaction fails later? This is really embarrassing. I’m going to die from laughter. You look very calm on the surface, but you must be jumping in panic, right? Hahaha!”
Lindy stretched out her hand to hold Felix’s arm and said with a smile, “That’s right. Both are men, but the gap is so big. Felix can always buy what he wants without any hesitation.”
While they were mocking, the salesperson had already taken the credit card machine and swiped the card.
800,000, the transaction was successful!
Felix and Lindy’s laughter suddenly stopped as if their throats were pinched, and their faces were blank. Especially Felix. He refused to believe that Jasper could really afford this necklace. Even the salesperson was shocked. This necklace had been on their counter for half a year. Many people had seen it, but no one in this town had the financial resources to buy a necklace for 800,000.
“Did something go wrong? This poor bum can’t afford it!” Felix asked the salesperson with a grim expression.
The salesperson shook her head and said, “It’s impossible. We’ve received the transaction slip. People can make mistakes, but the machine given by the bank can’t be wrong.”
“How could it be…” Felix glared at Jasper fiercely, stunned on the spot.
“Maybe you think this necklace is invaluable, but in my eyes, 800,000 is not as precious as Wendy’s smile.”
While speaking, Jasper pulled Wendy along. She was dumbfounded by the sudden wave of sweet words. They then turned to leave together.
These words, like a crisp and loud slap, made Felix’s face swell up.
Thinking of his taunting before, as well as Jasper’s words now, Felix only felt that his face was hot and painful. Wendy was also shocked by Jasper’s last domineering remarks.
It was not until Jasper pulled her away from the counter that she came back to her senses. She said softly, “It’s really too expensive. Besides, I’m not ready yet.”
“Ready for what?” Jasper asked.
“Huh?” Wendy looked at Jasper blankly.
That was right. What was she going to be ready for?
Somehow, Wendy felt her cheeks growing hot. She became shy. She stomped her feet in annoyance and said, “You’re deliberately teasing me!”
“Haha!” Jasper laughed and said, “Just treat this as a welcome gift. It’s not a special thing and it doesn’t have any special meaning. Just accept it. It doesn’t mean anything and I don’t require you to make any promises.”
Upon hearing this, Wendy fell into a new wave of dilemma.
What was the meaning of his words just now? Why did it not mean anything and what promises was he talking about?
Was she looking too much into it or was he angry with her?
Was he going to pursue her? Should she agree?
In short, he was really different from other men.
With jumbled thoughts, Wendy subconsciously reached out and gently stroked the pink diamond on the necklace on her chest. She felt a little dazed for a while.
After living two lives, how could Jasper fail to notice the changes in Wendy’s expression?
Naturally, he could guess what she was thinking. This feeling was really amazing!
In his previous life, he did not have the courage to speak in front of her, but in this life, she was obsessed with him on her own accord. However, Jasper was not too anxious. After all, the relationship between the two should progress slowly. Besides, there were more important things to do!
“Wendy, let’s go. We need to attend the banquet.”
“Okay…” Wendy nodded heartily as her thoughts went wild along the way.
