The remark not only shocked Esme, but Noe and Emilia who were on the front bench as well. Emilia subconsciously could not help but turn her head, staring at the small wooden box in Jason's hands in surprise.
Is he dreaming now?
Young Master Hall wants to give Miss a hairpin?
“Don't feel touched, I just don't want to be called stingy by outsiders for not wanting to buy the hairpick my wife likes.” Jason explained coldly, there was a proud tone in his speech.
Wife?
Esme found this description to be ridiculous. Then he really laughed crisply. “Jason, we're in the midst of a divorce, don't you feel using the word ‘my’ is a little ironic?”
“Until the day on which you place your signature on the letter, you are legally my wife.”
Though he himself was also confused, why would he give this hair pin to Esme?
Initially, she only saw these hairpicks look beautiful, and she planned to let models wear them as accessories on stage during a fashion design competition.
Retro is the theme of this year's competition, the design with the feel of a royal past, coupled with a hairpick will be close to perfection.
However, when he saw the way Esme grasped the Assistant's hand with a thumping expression in her eyes, it was extremely shocking.
He saw many changes from Esme's emotions clearly. Of joy, sorrow, and disappointment deep enough.
After that, Esme just sat there, seemingly lost in thought as if she was taking care of her own grief.
Isn't that just a hair pin?
How could it cause so many complex emotions in him that people were worried about?
However, when the hairpin was in front of his eyes, Esme refused firmly, “I don't want it.”
Anger was clearly visible in both of his dark eyes. “Didn't you say you like it?”
“You gave it to me just because I liked it?” Esme looked dramatically confused. “Jason Hall, all your life you've always felt disgusted with me.”
“Didn't I mention the reason earlier?” Jason gritted his teeth, forcing a short reply.
“But I don't want it.” Regardless of what Esme's intentions were, she didn't want them.
He likes that hairpin, but that doesn't mean he wants to have it.
Raising prices in the bidding war against Layla was a detrimental joke.
Everyone claimed that the hairpin was the real Bounding Passion. But it didn't.
He only wished Layla to bleed while buying that Bounding Passion hairpick.
Esme also purposely tells Emilia that she has thirty million people to listen to Layla and Clara.
With Layla figure knowing if she had thirty million, the woman would definitely put a price on it to fight with her.
What could not be considered was Jason Hall making the final offer.
Esme thought that as long as Layla made the offer, Jason would not interfere. Because he thought that in the end the man would give it to Layla.
“Why don't you want it now?” Jason's eyes insinuate dangerously.
With a smile he replied, “Didn't you hear the story of touching the Emperor with Imperial Consort Song? This Bounding Passion was given to him by the Emperor, and was named Enchanting Passion. Jasoh Hall, for you to give this hairpin to me, do you want to feel passionate about me?”
“You also believe in stories made by history?” Jason laughed sweetly. “To move future generations, his story has been changed many times in many ways.”
Esme's eyes dimmed slightly. In his heart he allowed it.
‘Indeed, as he said, these stories have been too much changed.’
“You want it or not?”
“No.” The absolute answer from Esme.
“Sial!” Jason cursed in a low tone.
This was the first time she had given jewelry to a woman, moreover the woman was a woman who did not have anything that could attract her heart. But apparently, it was rejected.
There was a fierceness visible in his eyes, enough to make others tremble in fear.
Esme's heart trembled strongly for a second.
Jason's not gonna kill him for this little thing, is he?
His fate should not be as sad as that, until it dies at the hands of a man in both lives.
Noe was driving very carefully, while Emilia did not dare to breathe too hard.
While Esme was sitting quietly, her gaze was thrown out the window.
When they got to the villa, Esme immediately fled upstairs without a word.
Seeing Esme running away from him and adamantly resisting, Jason's mood turned increasingly grim. He held back Emilia's path and shouted out the command, “Bring this to her!”
“Ya, Young Master.” Emilia accepted it and chased Esme behind.
“Young Master, why did you give that hairpin to Madam?” After harboring his curiosity from earlier, Noe ventured to ask.
“It looks like I have taken the wrong medicine.” Jason sent him a sharp glare, which meant he shouldn't have to question it.
Emilia forced her way into Esme's room and gave the box to her. “Nona, Master ordered me to send this to you.”
“I told you I didn't want it, why did he give it to me?”
“Nona, do you think maybe Sir started falling in love with you?”
“But I don't like it anymore. I have decided to give up on him. So, any gift will have no meaning to me.” Esme said it frankly. Hearing this, Emilia looked serious.
The only duty of the servant is to serve his Master well. He should not interfere in other matters.
Their Master's feelings and lifestyle were completely off limits. It was something that should not bother them.
“Nona, do you want to eat something?” Emilia smoothly changed the topic.
After thinking for a moment, Esme displayed a brilliant smile. “Ayam beggar. Do you know how to make it?”
Emilia was embarrassed. “Not ...”
Esme swallowed her saliva. Simply thinking of the taste of the beggar chicken from his previous life could already make him drool.
In this modern second life, even a delicious meal could not compare to the beggar chicken he made himself.
“Is there chicken in the refrigerator?”
Emilia instantly nodded, “Ada.”
“What is whole chicken?”
Emilia nodded again, “Ya. Just bought this morning.”
“Good.” Esme's face was blissfully happy. “You get off and clean the chicken first. Soak with soy sauce, rice wine, and salt. I'll be down in a minute.”
Hearing these instructions, Emilia was like a dazed person. “Nona, you know how to make it?”
“Yes, I can try it. Quickly go and just prepare.”
Emilia nodded immediately. “Good.”
He turned around and walked outside like a confused person.
What happened to Miss?
It seemed like he had completely turned into someone else ever since he woke up from a coma.
In the past, Esme was out of control and never worked once in her life. All of a sudden, he wanted to make a beggar chicken by himself?
After Emilia left, Esme wiped the smile on her face as she looked at the wooden box by her side.
It's not the same hairpick, he doesn't want it. He really couldn't understand Jason Hall this time. Evidently, the man hated her, put her aside, and underestimated her.
So, what does she want by giving expensive hairpins?
Because he bid against Layla at the auction?
Thinking about this, a cold grin hung on Esme's lips. “Jason Hall, you underestimated me, hurt me, and everything you did. But you won't be able to do it again now.”
With that he pushed the wooden box earlier and put it in the drawer. After that, he started sketching his designs seriously.
Yesterday he had considered the design sketch to be complete, but he realized there were some things that needed to be fixed.
After refining it, Esme looked at her design paper with satisfaction. Both of his eyes glittered sharply showing pride. With this she would show everyone if she was not a useless woman.
“If this design can seize the first place, it will be better. I was curious to see your face when you found out that you lost to this woman you consider trash, Layla.” The corner of Esme's lips grinned sharply.
