Chapter 534
\nA Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 534<\/p>\n
Chace sighs and feels frustrated.<\/p>\n
“Well, my mom is too hasty. I don’t want to marry someone in haste. I might have got married if she set me up with some good girls. But she has bad taste.”<\/p>\n
“She has tried to set me up with Mr. Clay’s daughter before. She spoke highly of that girl. But when I saw her, damn, she has taken a big cosmetic surgery and looked like a plastic model. I was freaked out.”<\/p>\n
Hearing this name, Jessie frowns.<\/p>\n
“Mr. Clay?”<\/p>\n
“Oh, the CEO of a big financial company. You might not know him.” Chace does not notice that Jessie looks strange.<\/p>\n
“Unfortunately, Mr. Clay then died, and his company went bankrupt. His daughter and wife seemed to have left the country. Anyway, that’s good for me. Otherwise, my mother might want to marry his daughter. I don’t want things to go south between my mom and me.”<\/p>\n
Chace has long suspected that the deaths of Mr. Clay and the others have something to do with Leigh.<\/p>\n
They all died soon after Leigh sent them back.<\/p>\n
Leigh also goes to the police station because of this. But he comes out unscathed after staying there for a few days.<\/p>\n
Seeing that Jessie lowers her head and doesn’t say anything, Chace asks, “Are you feeling sick?”<\/p>\n
“Yeah, I’m pregnant. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable and want to vomit.” Jessie is pulled back to reality and finds an excuse. “It’s fine.”<\/p>\n
Chace thinks for a while and says, “I can take you out tonight. We can eat something new and buy you some clothes.”<\/p>\n
“Thank you, but no.”<\/p>\n
“Don’t worry. It won’t cost much. My mother might come over any time! She’ll suspect us if she sees you wearing old clothes.”<\/p>\n
Jessie hesitates. “But I can’t see anything.”<\/p>\n
“It doesn’t matter. You could wear sunglasses and hold my hands.” Chace saw that Jessie’s hands were stained with paint. “Your hands are stained with paint. Do you want me to take you to wash your hands?”<\/p>\n
“Yes.”<\/p>\n
Chace helps Jessie to the bathroom and puts the soap on her hand.<\/p>\n
When Jessie washes her hands, Chace thinks of the painting outside and asks, “Why did you draw a hand next to the sunflower? What does it mean?”<\/p>\n
Jessie freezes and says indifferently, “I thought it would be very artistic.”<\/p>\n
“Oh.” Chace nods.<\/p>\n
That painting looks so artistic that most people couldn’t appreciate it.<\/p>\n
Jessie’s clothes are dirty too. She needs to get changed. She tells Chace that she could change clothes on her own and doesn’t need a servant, so Chace goes downstairs.<\/p>\n
Chace sees the servant and tells him. “I’ll take her out for dinner. You could take a rest.”<\/p>\n
“I see.”<\/p>\n
Chace adds, “Oh, could you please measure the size of the painting on the easel? Frame it and hang it in the living room. It looks pretty good.”<\/p>\n
The servant knows that Jessie could not see anything, so the painting could not be very good. But he still smiles. “Yeah, it’s your wife’s work. It is much more precious than the collection in the exhibition.”<\/p>\n
Chace shrugs.<\/p>\n
He has thought of taking the painting back and bragging about it in front of his friends, so that he could sell it and earn much.<\/p>\n
However, this is Jessie’s work. Chace could not take it away.<\/p>\n
A few minutes later, Jessie comes downstairs in a long dress.<\/p>\n
She is familiar with the furnishings in the room. So she remains calm even if she couldn’t see anything. She puts her hand on the stairs and walks down slowly.<\/p>\n
If Chace hasn’t known that she is blind now, he would have thought that she is a normal person.<\/p>\n
Chace puts the brown sunglasses on Jessie.<\/p>\n
The sunglasses are too big. It almost slides off Jessie’s nose, which makes her look funny. Chace laughs loudly.<\/p>\n
“Hey,” Jessie turns to him and says unhappily.<\/p>\n
“It’s the sunglasses. It’s not your fault!” Chace is trying to hold back his laughter. “I’ll buy you a new pair later.”<\/p>\n
Jessie just ignores him and walks towards the door.<\/p>\n
Chace follows her and helps her change her shoes. After opening the door, he holds her hand.<\/p>\n
Her hand is warm and soft now. They are no longer that cold.<\/p>\n
But Jessie wants to take her hand back, so Chace grabs it and forces her to hold his arm. “If you don’t want to walk with a guide stick, you got to take me as your eyes.”<\/p>\n
Jessie eats something but throws them up the next second. After a few times, her face turns pale and she doesn’t want to eat anything.<\/p>\n
This frightens Chace. He calls a western restaurant and asks them to send some soups here.<\/p>\n
Now there are mushroom soup, pumpkin soup and fish soup with pickles from the Sichuan Restaurant. Chace asks Jessie to try each of them.<\/p>\n
Finally, Jessie has some appetite and has a bowl of rice soaked in the fish soup. And Chace gets much relieved.<\/p>\n
“Your boyfriend is a bastard!” Chace complains, “Women sacrificed a lot when they get pregnant. But he quarreled with you and left you abroad. If I were him, I would let my wife do whatever she wants to me. I don’t mind her scolding or hitting me.”<\/p>\n
Jessie only smiles and doesn’t say anything.<\/p>\n
Jessie might still be uncomfortable after having dinner, so Chace takes her to the Chinatown and buys her a few things. Then they go to the shopping mall to buy some clothes.<\/p>\n
Jessie tries a few clothes. But when she knows the price, she tells Chace that she doesn’t need these fancy clothes. Because her belly would show and she would need to change them soon.<\/p>\n
Chace agrees. But he secretly pays for these clothes when they leave the shop.<\/p>\n
Then Chace takes Jessie to a store that specializes in clothes for pregnant women. Jessie picks a few sets she likes.<\/p>\n
“It would be enough,” Jessie says, “Your mother would also buy me clothes when she comes over. And I will take them. These clothes could last for a long time, and I’m tired now.”<\/p>\n
“Alright, let’s go back then.” Chace notices the sweat on Jessie’s forehead. She is indeed very tired.<\/p>\n
Chace wipes away Jessie’s sweat and smiles. “Are you happy after hanging around? You look much better than you were at home.”<\/p>\n
Jessie smiles and nods. “Well, I feel I’m connected to the world again.”<\/p>\n
Chace laughs and jokes, “Then I have to take you out more in the future, so that you won’t be disconnected from the world.”<\/p>\n
They walk down the street and chat happily.<\/p>\n
Across the street, a man is plowing his way through the crowd. His suit is crinkled, and he looks like he is at lost.<\/p>\n
The man looks around, eager to find something.<\/p>\n
When the man looks across the street, Chace has helped Jessie into the taxi. Then Chace bends down and gets into the car.<\/p>\n
The man only sees the taxi driving away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2471","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
