Chapter 545: Chapter 545: Meeting the Parents (3)
Vera Xavier was, at her core, a bit aloof. She never paid much mind to trivial matters, so she wouldn’t have noticed such things, let alone sought them out herself.
But when they were all laid out before her, anyone would be stunned.
"So?" Nathaniel Nathan asked, looking at her. "Are you satisfied?"
Vera Xavier gulped, a little embarrassed, and countered with a question instead of an answer. "Did you buy these with your money or my money?"
Nathaniel Nathan: "..."
’His silly wife’s priorities really were different from a normal person’s. Shouldn’t any other woman be overjoyed to see all this, then run over and give him a few kisses?’
’Well, this was all stuff he’d picked up abroad. While he was overseas, he’d often heard men talking. They all said women loved this kind of thing, and that to make them happy, you just needed to get them enough of it.’
Vera Xavier had already run out of the closet and grabbed his hand. "But it doesn’t matter if you bought them with your money or my money—we’re married now, so your money is my money. These things are ridiculously expensive! Can we return them?"
’That line again!’ Nathaniel Nathan shot her a sidelong glance. She just smiled sweetly. "But it’s fine if we can’t return them now. If my pharmaceutical company ever runs out of money for operations, I can just sell these to fund it."
Nathaniel Nathan: "..."
’This woman has no sense of romance whatsoever! He’d gone to all this trouble to make her happy, and what does she do? The very first thing she thinks of is selling everything for cash. She had to be trying to piss him off on purpose, right?’
And Vera was, in fact, teasing him on purpose. ’You can’t praise a man like him, can you? The moment I compliment him, knowing his personality, he’ll probably steer the conversation right back to us sleeping together.’
’But, undeniably, she really did love all these things!’
’What normal woman wouldn’t love things like this?’
Nathaniel Nathan stared at her for a long moment. He saw her sparkling eyes, a clear sign she was delighted. ’This little fox is getting more and more cunning,’ he thought. ’She actually dares to tease me right to my face now.’
He said slowly, "No returns. And you’re forbidden from selling them. In fact, we’ll add more every time the season changes. If my woman dresses like she’s from the countryside, that would be a true embarrassment to me."
Vera Xavier smiled. He picked a pair of nude-colored, mid-heel leather shoes from the closet and handed them to her. "Put them on."
Then he picked out a bag and handed it to her as well.
With a smile, Vera changed her shoes and took the handbag. She felt that with this, she could finally look the part a little.
She took a look in the mirror. The girl reflected back at her was tall and slender. Though she wore no makeup, it only served to accentuate her natural, radiant beauty, which was simply breathtaking.
In both her past life and this one, Vera had rarely ever truly dressed up. This was the first time she realized she was beautiful enough to be considered a femme fatale.
The corners of her lips curved up slightly. After all, what girl doesn’t like to feel beautiful?
She turned her head to ask Nathaniel, "Do I look pretty?"
Nathaniel feigned a casual glance at her. "You’re passable. You won’t embarrass me. I suppose you’re just about worthy of me."
In truth, his eyes were filled with utter amazement. He had always known she was beautiful, but he never knew that with just a little effort, she could be this stunning.
