Little Cute Wife novel Chapter 75

When Jessica followed Louis into a bar which was known as a wine cellar, she didn’t expect that there were lots of people from different countries chatting and laughing.

She could smell the fragrance of various kinds of wine.

“Hi, Vincent. It’s has been a long time!” The man with red hair greeted Louis in not very good English. He was the owner of the bar.

Louis was a regular visitor and he pursed his lips slightly and nodded. He then talked with the man in Spanish.

And the owner of the bar was laughing happily.

Louis turned around and said to Jessica, “wait for me here, I’ll be back soon.”

Then he followed the man with red hair into a room.

Though Jessica didn’t understand Spanish, people here would speak English.

The man just called Louis “Vincent”, which might be his nickname. Jessica touched the pedant subconsciously and realized that “V” was for “Vincent”.

But she was confused that why he carved his name on the pedant?

Her heart seemed like being hit by something and it was pounding so fast.

She didn’t dare to think about it.

Jessica walked to the bar and asked the bartender for a glass of wine in English.

She was drinking with curiosity about the people here who were from all around the world while waiting for Louis as well.

“Hi, beauty. I’m Thomas. I haven’t seen you before. Are you new to here?”

A young man with blonde hair and blue eyes walked over to Jessica holding a glass of wine and speaking English fluently.

Jessica glanced at him and nodded politely. She had seen too many handsome guys but Thomas wasn’t her cup of tea.

“Well, I come here almost every day. Is the man who was standing next to you your husband?” Thomas was enthusiastic even though Jessica showed no interest in him, he kept smiling at her. Then he took a seat next to her.

Jessica shook her head and told him not.

“Fantastic! So, I’ve got a chance!” His eyes suddenly brightened.

They had a talk and Jessica knew that Thomas was an illegitimate child. His mom was Spanish and his dad was British. He lived with his mom when he was a kid. But his dad would only go back to Spain and pay a visit to them a few times a year.

Thomas shared with her his stories. These twenty years, he didn’t give up but tried harder even though he had been through so many hardships.

Thomas’s experience reminded her of her life in the past.

They had the same misfortune sympathize with each other so that Jessica showed some interest in him.

“You pedant is so shiny…”

Thomas was shocked when he found her pendant was so shiny and then asked, “can I have a look at it?”

Jessica raised her eyebrows and said, “Sure.”

Then he was holding the pedant and had a careful look at it and he was a bit surprised. “It’s a high quality steel made by VQ. How did you get it?”

“High quality steel?” Jessica didn’t understand and asked, “What is that?”

Thomas gave a shocked look at her and chimed, “don’t you know that? High quality steel is a kind of building material. Though it is normal and doesn’t worth much, yours is VQ high quality steel, it can be more expensive than any diamonds!”

Jessica’s finger couldn’t help trembling and wide-eyed finding that was so unbelievable. She murmured, “Is that worth that much?”

“Of course! Though I am not working in construction industry, in Barcelona, construction is our soul. So, even though we don’t work in this field, we have to know about it. VQ was a talented constructor in Barcelona. Ten years ago, he created a myth in European architecture but then he suddenly disappeared.”

He was so excited when he mentioned VQ.

Ten years ago, VQ had been a hit in European architecture. Nearly everyone admired that talented constructor but suddenly he disappeared. No one knew where he was. Some people said that he was back to his hometown; some people said that he went to America and others even said that he committed suicide… Everyone had their own guessing and that was a mystery in the construction industry.

Jessica was in great shock.

If the one who Thomas mentioned was Louis, she had underestimated him.

“Are you sure that VQ high quality steel is worth a lot?” Jessica asked carefully and she was excited.

Thomas’s eyes brightened and he grinned, “I should have a careful look at it again.”

Then he got closer to her and raised his hand and said, “If your pedant is genuine, it will be invaluable!”

When he finished his words, Jessica was so excited and delighted that she though Louis was so generous to give her such a priceless pendant as a gift.

However, she didn’t expect that when she was immersed in the joy, she smelled a strange but strong fragrance suddenly…

Then she drew a blank…

After a second, she stared at Thomas who she found his face became more and more blurred. Then she lost consciousness.

......

They got in a Wine Cellar. “Vincent, we both love wines. As long as I’ve got something good, I will of course share with you.” The boss of the bar, that man with red hair moved a few boxes of wine from the wine garage and laughed, “I prepared it for you last year but you were too busy. But I knew you for so many years; I haven’t seen you take any girls here. She is beautiful. Did you guys married?”

Louis raised his lips slightly and answered, “Not yet.”

Then he took out a bottle of wine from the box and had a look at it.

“You need to keep an eye on her since such a beautiful and pure girl can be so easy to be hooked up by others.”

Louis was holding the bottle tighter and peeked at the man with red hair, “beautiful and pure girl?”

“Of course. Vincent, don’t tell me you don’t agree with me. Her eyes are so pure and clean. Lots of men would so eager to get a woman like that…”
