When Nina woke up, it was already dusk. There were rosy clouds in the sky, as if a piece of brocade was spreading in the sky.
The North Yard was very quiet and the bedroom was even quieter. There was only the sound of the quilt slipping down when Nina moved.
With her hands on both sides of her body, she found that the left side of her face was warm while the right side was a little cold, but she didn't think too much.
On the way downstairs, she happened to see Helen doing cleaning. The whole living room was full of clothes, which confused her.
"Helen, what are these?"
"Good morning, madam. Do you still have a headache?" Hearing the voice, Helen turned around and asked with concern. Seeing that Nina was still wearing her old and shabby clothes, Helen said, "Madam, Mr. John has bought these clothes for you. Please put on the new clothes since the clothes you're wearing are a little broken."
Nina was a little surprised. She didn't expect that John would prepare clothes for her. But there were too many clothes.
She looked at the clothes and put on a long dress. The hemline of the dress was long enough to touch her ankle and there was a round collar and sleeves. This dress was exactly what she wanted. Then she put on a pair of white flat shoes.
She had specially checked the price tag. The price of the dress and the shoes was five thousand and two hundred in total. She decided to gave the money to John via WeChat.
"Madam, you are so beautiful." Helen praised sincerely. She had never seen such a beautiful girl in her whole life.
She had met Vivian before and thought she was good-looking, but she was not so beautiful as Nina, whose beauty was incomparable.
Hearing someone praise her, Nina smiled, but reminded her, "Helen, don't call me madam anymore."
If John's fiancée knew it, John would definitely get into trouble.
"Yes, madam." Helen answered, but she kept calling her madam.
Glancing around, Nina didn't see John. She was about to ask, but after thinking for a while, she closed her mouth.
Seeing that Nina was looking around and wanted to say something but stopped. Helen guessed that she wanted to ask where John was but was too shy to ask, so Helen answered spontaneously.
"Mr. John has just left. He has gone to the company to deal with his work. He has said that if you wake up, you may have dinner first and needn't wait for him."
Nina was speechless. She had never thought of waiting for him.
But he just went to the company to deal with business. What was he doing earlier? He must have done something relaxing and was enjoying his leisure time.
Nina sighed. 'He has been working so hard and I hope that his company won't go bankrupt, so that he doesn't have to be a teacher to earn money.'
Nina touched her belly and was indeed a little hungry. "Helen, may I have dinner?"
"Sure. Madam, please take a seat." Helen happily brought the dinner and specially made chicken soup for her.
After dinner, Nina was about to go back to college. Helen asked her to stay and wait for John and said that she would be sent to class tomorrow, but Nina insisted on leaving now. Helen thought that Nina would have class tomorrow morning, so she didn't ask Nina to stay.
But before Nina left, Helen took out two bags and handed them to Nina. There were logos of FG Clothing Store on the bags and there were two exquisite boxes in the bags.
"Madam, Mr. John asked me to give them to you. This is the latest evening dress of FG Clothing Store and this is a pair of high-heeled shoes." Helen told her what was inside the bags while pointing at the two boxes respectively. Then she continued, "Mr. John said that you promised to go to Miss Vivian's birthday party with him in a week."
"What?" When did she promise to attend the birthday party with him?
It was his fiancée's birthday party.
What was he thinking about?
Seeing the puzzled look on Nina's face, Helen was also confused. "Don't you know that, madam? Mr. John said madam had promised him one condition."
One condition?
She remembered that she had skipped the elective course.
At that time, in order not to deduct the male classmate's credit, she did promise John to do one thing.
"Oh, I see." Nina lifted the two bags and forced a smile.
