His Precious Love

Chapter 294

Chapter 294 It Is Not Easy Being A Guy

Theodore did not understand women, but he was smart.

Inspired by what Curtis said, he emailed someone working at the Norham branch at once. He met up with Jasmine immediately after getting the female director’s number, then dialed the number in front of her and even put the call on loudspeaker.

The female director had resigned a long time ago, and her child was already a few years old.

After learning over the phone that Theodore wanted to enquire about the scarf, she threw back her head and roared with laughter. “Boss, you used to reject advances from women all the time that I thought you were someone heartless and loveless. So, there’s actually someone you love, huh?”

He coughed awkwardly and answered in Anglandurn, “I’m afraid I need to trouble you to explain what happened.”

“Your wife misunderstood what happened, did she?”

“Yes.”

The female director proceeded to explain carefully. Since her boyfriend was well-built and happened to dye his hair black and wore the same scarf as Wyatt, those in the office had made a mistake.

Finally, she said to Jasmine, “I’m not sure what happened between the two of you, but for him to still remember you after all this time only shows how deeply he loves you.”

Jasmine finally broke her silence. “But you’ve never even met me before.”

The woman smiled. “Boss has never taken off the ring on his ring finger. Despite the many outstanding female directors in the company, he never swayed. What else could that say about him?”

“Oh?” Jasmine arched a slender brow as she glanced at Theodore. “Many women used to pursue him, eh?”

“That goes without saying. Who wouldn’t fancy a gifted and influential man? To be honest with you, I had pursued him too. Alas, I suffered the same defeat. Men like him are few and far between, so you must hold onto him. Don’t wait until he comes to his senses and goes falling for another woman.”

Jasmine chuckled and declared confidently, “He won’t.”

Such was the depth of her trust toward Theodore.

Moreover, she had waited for four years and even had a son with him. If he was serious about going off gallivanting with another woman, there was no way she would let him off the hook just like that.

Not only did the female director give a detailed explanation, but she also complimented Theodore. Naturally, that made him feel way more at ease. He made up his mind to text Gabriel later and have the latter prepare a gift for her.

After Jasmine finished chatting with the female director, he ended the call.

He contemplated briefly before saying, “I was wrong last night. I shouldn’t have been impatient and should’ve explained things clearly. However, you heard it too. That man was her boyfriend. It wasn’t me.”

The corners of Jasmine’s lips curved upward. She nodded and murmured an acknowledgment. “I heard it loud and clear.”

He breathed a sigh of relief.

That’s good. Our fight is over now, right?

The next moment, she added, “I’ll drop the matter about the scarf, but when I think about that letter, I can’t help but feel that you’re too dumb. Four years! You didn’t even ask me what happened and ran off to Norham without a word. To think we were in a relationship for so long, and yet you didn’t even have a basic level of trust in me.”

“I didn’t think much about it at the time,” he replied in a helpless tone. “Shortly after you said you wanted to break up, my mother told me you had taken her check. That was why I thought…”

She narrowed her eyes at him and retorted coldly, “So, you trust your mother most and me the least, is that it? You had the guts to run off to Norham, yet you didn’t dare to come back and look for me. You’re really something else, Theodore Xavier.”

He stared at her speechlessly.

“What’s more, as soon as you returned to the country, you gave me attitude and pretended not to know me. What was up with that? Do I owe you something?”

Theodore was utterly bereft of words.

We were only talking about the scarf incident. Why is she digging up the past right now?

After grumbling for some time, Jasmine finally said disdainfully, “If our son ends up inheriting your brains, his future will be doomed! Don’t talk to me for the next couple of days. Just the sight of you makes me angry!”

He did not even get to explain himself and could only watch as she stormed off.

Then, he massaged his forehead in frustration.

It’s my fault too. Why didn’t I ask those in Norham for the phone number right off the bat last night? One call and all of this wouldn’t have happened today.

Recalling what Jasmine said earlier, he muttered in confusion, “Do all women have superpowers? How does she know we’ll have a son when she isn’t even pregnant yet?”

Doesn’t the man’s chromosomes determine the child’s gender? Does the woman’s intuition work too?

After getting settled in at the hotel, Jessica clamored to go shopping. Rayna and Jasmine also felt like going out to buy some new clothes when they heard that. Hence, they went out together.

Curtis had to stay at the hotel to take care of some work. Meanwhile, Theodore, who was in Jasmine’s bad books, knew it would only make her more unhappy if he joined them. Therefore, he let that task fall to Wyatt’s lot.

Needless to say, Wyatt was ready to spend time with his girlfriend and show off his affection for her in public.

However, he changed his mind after going out.

With Rayna and Jasmine around, he could not get a word in edgeways with Jessica. He accompanied them from one shopping mall to another, going from the first floor to the sixth.

For the first time in his life, he was treated like a servant, having both hands full from carrying all the shopping bags. Every time he had to wait for them to try on clothes, it would take one hour, and he would get butt cramps from sitting for too long.

More importantly, he could not utter a single complaint.

If I complain to my girlfriend, it might end in a breakup. As for the other two women, they’re my future sisters-in-law. That’s even more reason why I can’t have any complaints. Otherwise, who knows what fate will await me when I get back?

Wyatt slumped on the couch with a look of despair on his face.

“It’s not easy being a guy.”

Jessica walked over after getting changed and kicked him gently. “What’s so difficult about it? All you have to do is sit and wait. Has that already tired you out? Get up. Help me take a look at this dress.”

“All right. I’m getting up,” he said, quickly rising from the couch.

She was wearing a creamy white, off-shoulder fishtail dress. The neckline was low, and the dress showed off her slim figure. On top of that, the skirt was short and sheer, revealing her long, slender legs.

The sight of her with so much of her body on show lit a fire within him. Taking off his trench coat, he wrapped it tightly around her. “Absolutely not! This dress is too ugly. Go and change, Babe!”

Jessica looked down at herself. “How is it too revealing? This is the trending style for next year.”

“Whatever it is, it’s ugly and exposes everything. There are so many other dresses in this shop, so why don’t you pick something else? If nothing catches your eye, we’ll go to another shop,” Wyatt responded.

She glanced at him. “Why is it that when you ogle at those supermodels’ chests and legs, you don’t think they are revealing? When I wear something low-cut, it’s suddenly too much?”

He kissed her and shot her a playful smile as he replied, “They’re not my girlfriend, so I don’t care! You can buy the dress if you want. However, you can only wear it at home for me to see. Nowadays, menNôvelDrama.Org content.

are no gentlemen. You’re so gorgeous. If you dress up so nicely, what’ll happen if someone starts eyeing you up? I can’t always be there by your side.”

After murmuring an acknowledgment, she uttered, “I think you’re no gentleman either.”

“I’ll do my best to change!” Wyatt vowed. “In the future, I won’t look at other women. Hurry up and get changed, Jessie. I’m afraid I can’t take it much longer.”

Jessica frowned, looking somewhat reluctant. She leaned closer and whispered in his ear, “This is the latest style, and it’s on sale. What’s more, this dress comes with a free gift of lingerie.”

“It wouldn’t make a difference if you went and bought a set of lingerie. It’s not like I don’t have the money,” he responded nonchalantly.

However, after a glance at the lingerie inside the box, he immediately took back what he had just said and became even more excited. “Buy it! Free lingerie when you buy a dress? That’s an incredible deal!”
