The design of this wedding dress was unique. It was not as sexy and explicit as other wedding dresses. Instead, it looked very dignified, elegant and aristocratic. The diamonds on the chest sparkled under the lights.
But the price discouraged her.
The manager penetrated Janiya's thoughts, introduced to her rapidly, "This is the latest style of this year. It was designed by a famous French designer. Many people showed their love for it, but since this is a classic limited edition, we just have one. If you want, you may pay for the auction price.
"Auction?" Janiya frowned, and then chose a slightly beautiful one casually, said to Nigel, "Just this one."
Nigel arched his eyebrows, glanced at her, "Are you sure?"
"Well, sure." Janiya answered seriously.
Because she felt that they didn’t marry for real and could divorce at any time. There was no need to squander his money. After all, what she truly cared about wasn’t the ceremony, but who she married.
Since neither of them was an important protagonist in each other's life, it wasn’t necessary for these messy things.
Then Janiya left the shop without even looking back and went on the car. Nigel watched she leave, then handed a black card to the manager and said, "Both of the dresses. "
After they got into the car and left, the manager looked at the consumption records on the computer. Her face was radiant with delight but also a twinge of envy.
Because they all thought that their deep-pocketed client really loved his wife.
After done a lot of shopping, the car finally stopped at a private hotel. As the doorman opened the door, Nigel reached out toward Janiya. She looked at him and frowned, said unwillingly,"There’s no need to act now."
However, Nigel never allow others to defy him. He grabbed her hands naturally, said with satisfaction,"People are gonna find out when it’s your turn to put on a show."
So Nigel almost dragged her hand and pulled her into the hotel.
"Welcome, Mr. Nigel." While the waiter led the way for them, taking this short time, Nigel told Janiya relevant things, "The man who hosts the party is also the owner of this hotel, named Cedric Xiao, his family is also a great name in S City, started out in catering business. They have many chain stores in various regions, even abroad."
"Then, who else?" Janiya asked as she imputed all these information into her mind.
"No. Who else do you want to see?" Nigel asked back.
Janiya cast a glance at him and didn’t reply. In just one day, she found a crucial problem—that is, when she was with Nigel, she must be as casually as possible. Because no matter quarrel or fight, she would be at a disadvantage. She wanted to live a long life, so if possible, just didn’t answer him.
"Mr. Nigel. Here is your seat. I wish the three of you have a good dinner." With that, the waiter gently opened the door.
The moment the door opened, Cedric already seated. It seemed he had been waiting for a long time. Janiya was like a face-changing master, one minute, the sad face, and the next, turned into a smiling face, which really surprised Nigel.
"Oh! This is the first time that you show the sister-in-law to me. I didn't expect that you are so beautiful!" As Cedric saw them, he hurried to stand up, pulled them into their seats. He then opened the door, shouted at the waiter standing outside, "Two bottles of white wine!" After that, he turned back to his seat and said, "Hey, you two are late, so let’s get drunk today! "
Watching him jumped up and down, Nigel recollected their childhood, he looked at Cedric, said, "I haven't seen you for so long, you’re as impish as you ever were."
"Of course, or I am still your little superman!" Cedric was indeed incredibly passionate. Janiya could tell that the two of them are really in tune with each other, one favored quite, the other rebelled at stagnation.
"Buddy, why didn't you come forward with your returning to S City earlier, it took you two days to think of your little brother." Cedric's was straightforward, whether he was happy or unhappy, it was all on his face.
Janiya was a good judge of character. Presumably because of his forthright temperament, which made Nigel enjoy being a good friend with him. After all, who didn’t like to be with a frank and familiar man , that feeling was very comfortable.
"Are you still in trouble with your family? Cut it out, just go back and take it over."
"There will be no trouble. Sooner or later, I will take over the family’s business. How can I make trouble with myself? You see, Janiya, I like a girl, but why can't I get married to her?" With that, Cedric felt so angry that he drunk the white wine in front of him bottoms down.
With a curious expression, Janiya turned to Nigel. Nigel got it, then said, "He fell in love with a civilian girl, but her identity really didn’t fit his family, so his mother disagreed. Their dispute has been going on for years.
That was it. Janiya smiled at Cedric and made a few casual remarks. After all, this was a family matter. It was better not to say too much.
The three of them really had a good meal, especially Janiya. She didn’t feel so happy for a long time. However, happy times was always short-lived. Before she had time to savor this moment, a text message broke in, her phone vibrated. Janiya took a quick look at the phone, then stood up, "Excuse, I need to go to the bathroom."
After the door was closed, Nigel looked at the wine glass and drink on Janiya's seat. She didn’t drink at all, but she left on the pretext of going to bathroom. She must hide something.
All this came to an abrupt halt when Janiya left.
Although Cedric’s face often got red after drinking, he wasn’t drunk. He quickly knocked on the table while Janiya was away and asked Nigel, "What are you up to?"
Nigel drank the white wine in of Janiya’s up in a gulp, then looked at Cedric, said calmly, "Have you ever seen the cartoon of Tom and Jerry?"
"Yeah. But what does it matter about your marriage?"
"I am the big cat, while she is the sly mouse."
"You ... Do you suspect she has an affair with him?" Cedric was in the business circles for so many years and he could understand his meaning fast.
"Who knows that! " Nigel glanced at Cedric and said, "Do remember to attend my wedding tomorrow. Do you find out the thing I asked you to pry?"
"Yes. But Viviana has nothing to do with this matter, you can put your mind at ease." Cedric took a sip of wine and continued, "You have doubts about Viviana. But you are familiar with her a year ago. "
"Help me to investigate Janiya’s life experience. Someone must behind her. Otherwise, how couldn’t I find anything about her past. Someone tampered her background."
"Ok. Whatever you say is totally right. Let's eat first. Just forget about the mess!"
