My Wealthy Husband novel Chapter 16

“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.
