Veild Bride : Love From An Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 114

“Impossible. If it were an engagement, they would not need to keep it a secret. It’s too sudden, Jack won’t be so careless, He probably doesn’t know Violet well,” Yvette analyzed calmly,

She continued, “But from today’s situation, their relationship seems good”

“No.” Yvette calmly recalled every detail, and said, “It didn’t seem like a romantic relationship. Violet doesn’t feel that way about him, and Jack also seems to be intentionally pretending. Something is going on between them?

“What’s going on between them?” Yvette couldn’t figure it out.

“They are weird.” Yvette murmured, “Could it be some kind of agreement?”

Yvette became more and more convinced of her judgment. “They are putting on a show for Theo”

“Didn’t Dad realize it?” asked Beryl,

“Theo doesn’t care about details. Yvette said, “He was overjoyed when Jack and Violet came back together. He wouldn’t calmly observe the situation.”

“Then what do they choose a gown for?” Beryl was a little anxious.

“Beryl, how many times have you worn the gown?” asked Yvette,

“Me?” Beryl thought for a while and said, “Seven times.”

“What’s your reason for wearing a gown?” Yvette furthered.

After thinking for a while, Beryl said, “Attend the dinner party”

Yvette stopped talking and nodded. Beryl’s eyes suddenly lit up and said, “So they are going to the dinner party?”

“Yes, I’ll find out about the dinner and location. You go and prepare yourself. Choose a gown.”

Yvette meant that her daughter shouldn’t miss the opportunity tonight for sure.

Jack kept his gaze forward inside the Maserati, gripping the steering wheel with both hands. His lips tightened slightly, and his eyes carried a hint of depth, completely contrasting his demeanor at the dinner table just moments ago,

“Didn’t you find it exhausting to pretend earlier?” Violet accused Jack by saying, “How can I find a boyfriend in the future if you act so intimate with me?”

Violet has already slept with Jack, and she still wanted to find another boyfriend.

Jack’s gaze narrowed slightly as he prepared to settle the score with her. “What did you say to Jared that day? He even posted on Twitter.”

Just a hint and it made Violet embarrassed.

Jack added, “I’m just acting in front of the Yeagers. I even made sure the photos won’t get leaked. Compared with what you’ve done to me, this is nothing.”

“You’re still claiming innocence, huh?” Violet turned her gaze.

Jack also fixed his gaze on Violet and said, “I was innocent from the beginning. I acted so well, and you don’t even thank me. Instead, you accuse me?”

Violet couldn’t find good words to retort him.

“Okay, let’s stop talking about it. Do you like blue?” Jack changed the subject, as he thought, “Women can be challenging to deal with, and what if she refuses to attend the celebration banquet?”

“There is no color that I don’t like,” answered Violet.

“All right, then, wear this bracelet for now,” Jack held the steering wheel with one hand and handed her a box with the other.

Violet took it and said, “Why? Is it a gift from you?” Violet casually opened it and saw a silver bracelet inside. “It’s ugly!”

“It’s priceless,” Jack replied, keeping his eyes on the road. “Can’t you improve your taste a little?”

Violet glanced at Jack and asked, “Why should I accept it? I believe in earning rewards based on merit.” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Put it on first,” Jack said firmly.

Violet glanced at him and then the bracelet without saying a word. She whispered in her mind, “Isn’t it too gender-neutral?”

Violet didn’t feel awkward. She took it out of the box, put it on her wrist, gently pressed it, and buckled it.

She also rotated her wrist to admire it, finding it more and more beautiful and suitable.

But No matter how hard Violet tried, she couldn’t undo it. And no matter how tightly she clenched her fingers, she couldn’t remove it.

Jack saw Violet struggling with the bracelet and said, “Don’t bother. It requires a key.” His voice was low and captivating.

The girl suddenly turned her gaze, “Why are you so childish?”

“This is not an ordinary bracelet,” answered Jack.

“Why did you give me this out of the blue?” Violet continued trying to take it off. “What is it for, anyway?”

At this time, the car slowed down, turned, and stopped on the lawn in front of Goldbay Estate.

When the car stopped, Violet turned her gaze to the window and asked, “Why are we here?”

“I didn’t plan on taking you to the office. I was afraid of causing a sensation, so I asked Michael to send someone to bring all the gowns here, and it’s been a while since you’ve been back, and Zoey misses you very much.” Jack explained as he calmly unfastened his seatbelt and got out of the car.

Violet frowned and pulled the bracelet, but it was all in vain.

Then Violet left the car and didn’t ask Jack to wait on her.

Jack’s gaze fell on her wrist. “There’s a chip inside the bracelet. From now on, you can come and go freely here. We are allies, and you have kept my secret confidential. Consider this as a gift.”

Violet was silent and glanced at his profile, then looked around. She wondered, “Is it because of wearing this bracelet that I can safely stand in his yard with three layers of the power grid?”

“Let’s go. Don’t be stunned,” said Jack.

Violet gathered her thoughts and asked, “Can you track my location with this? Does that mean I’ll be under your surveillance?” She walked towards the villa with Jack.

“Don’t flatter yourself. I don’t have time to stare at you every day.” Jack replied with a tone that was neither light nor heavy but full of authority.

When Michael sent someone to deliver the gowns, he told Zoey, “Ms. Violet Yeager will come with Mr. Yancey.” Zoey was thrilled.

As they entered the living room, Zoey came out holding a fruit tray with a joyful smile. “Mr. Yancey! Ms. Yeager! You’re back!”

“Zoey” Violet was also happy. Violet walked towards Zoey with a smile without noticing the long row of blue gowns beside her.

“Come, and have some fruits.” Zoey asked kindly, “How have you been lately?”

“Mmm, I’m doing great!” Violet replied with a smile. She sat on the sofa, picked up a grape, and put it into her mouth. “This is so sweet!”

“The grape was picked this morning. It’s very fresh.” Zoey deliberately took it out for her to eat.

Seeing Zoey get along with Violet so well, Jack was pleased and thought Violet quite charming.

“Mr. Yancey, come and taste it too. It’s so fresh.” Zoey almost ignored Jack.

“Okay.”

Jack sat down next to Violet in a good mood.

“Ms. Yeager, are you staying here tonight?” Zoey said happily, “It was sunny yesterday, so I took your blanket outside to air

it and placed it in the cabinet. If you’re staying here, I can set it up for you.”

“Thank you.” Violet smiled and shook his head. “I won’t be staying here.”

“Okay, then I’ll go upstairs first. You guys can talk.” Zoey deliberately avoided the topic.

“Okay.”

After Zoey left, only Jack and Violet were in the living room.

“Go ahead and choose. All the gowns are blue.”

After about five minutes, Jack looked at the row of clothing racks beside him. There were 20 gowns, each in a different style and shade of blue.

Violet stood up from the sofa and was attracted by these beautiful blue gowns.

There were sky blue, azure, deep blue, sapphire blue, royal blue, crystal blue, peacock blue, and midnight blue gowns among them…

The designs of these gowns were also stunning. Violet admired them one by one, treating them like works of art. She was hesitant to touch them as if they were too sacred to be profaned.

Jack noticed that Violet’s reaction to the clothing was different from how others typically responded.

Violet seemed to be very committed as if she was studying something.

Others would exclaim, “This one looks great!” or “That one is so beautiful!” or “This one is nice, and I like that one.” Violet was engaged in a deeper level of analysis.

On the other hand, Violet genuinely appreciated the gowns, and Jack watched her silently.

At this time, Violet’s phone rang, and she returned to reality. She took out her phone and glanced at it. It was a call from the president of the Grande Group. Her chest tightened slightly, and she cast a glance at Jack.

Jack said sensibly, “I’ll go make a cup of coffee.” He then turned and headed towards the pantry.
