Chapter 17
*****
As soon as the bodyguards came in carrying many bags of clothes into the house, he looked up and almost fainted. What the f*ck!
“Is she gonna wear all these or you want to turn my house to a boutique!!?,” he asked. He still hasn’t noticed Sharon’s new look.
Lena rolled her eyes,”Brother, stop overreacting. The money we spent today won’t even leave a dent on your account so why screaming like a girl.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Jasper sighed and asked,”Do you think it’s easy to get money? I work hard for my money so don’t tell me sh*t.”
Sharon groaned inwardly. What Lena said is true? He’s screaming as if the money they spent affected him. He only wants to cause trouble.
“Yunno what brother! You are not screaming like a girl. You are screaming like all those annoying princesses singing and waiting for their prince charming to rescue them,” Lena said.
Jasper frowned and imagined himself in a princess dress. He shook in disgust. That imagination is weird and horrible. How dare she compare him to a princess?
He looked up about to say something when he finally noticed Sharon. He looked at her and slowly opened his mouth down. He’s wondering,”Who is this beauty and where is fatty?”
He thought that perhaps she might be Lena’s friend and he just embarrassed himself in front of her. He blushed out of embarrassment.
Then he cleared his throat and said,”Miss, I’m sorry you had to witness this. Welcome to my humble abode.”
He even said it with a smile. Lena struggled to hold her laughter in while Sharon was stunned to hear Jasper’s surprisingly nice voice.
“Nice to meet you too. This is what you should have done the first time you brought me here,” Sharon replied with a smirk on her face.
Hearing the familiar voice, Jasper looked at her closely. He couldn’t close his mouth. “Fatty!?,” he cried out.
Sharon frowned, hearing that stupid nickname. “Close your mouth. Don’t you know you look like a fish that is about to be killed.”
Jasper frowned, immediately closing his mouth. First it was princess now a fish. Who gave these two ladies the guts to speak to him that way?
He turned to Lena and asked,”No wonder I kept getting more credit alerts. So you did plastic surgery for her… With my money!!.”
Sharon looked at him. Gosh! What does he mean by plastic surgery? How will someone get plastic surgery in just one day and is already walking that same day.
“Why are you so dumb Jasper? Let’s go to the hospital right now and get your brain checked. We need to know if there’s still sense in it or not,” Sharon said and Jasper was stunned again.
He glared at her and said,”Cause you now look hot and sexy doesn’t mean you should talk to me anyway you want.”
“O! M! G! I think there’s something wrong with my ear!,” Sharon exclaimed.
“Not just your ear. Every part of your body,” Jasper mumbled.
Sharon glared at him and replied,”You just called me hot and sexy.”
Jasper realized what he had said. He couldn’t help but bite his tongue. How could he have let it slip just like that? He looked at Sharon’s happy expression and smirked.
“I won’t let her win,” Jasper thought then he said,”I didn’t. When did I ever call you hot and sexy?”
Sharon gasped. She is half tempted to put the baby on a sofa and beat the hell outta Jasper.
“I don’t why you are shouting. It’s better you save your voice for later cause you will need it,”Sharon said and Lena couldn’t hold it in any longer.
She burst into laughter and Jasper glared at her. He turned to Sharon and was about to ask- “What do you mean by I should save..”
He was interrupted cause one of the maids ran in. She bowed in front of Sharon and said,”Miss where should we put the other bags? Cause there isn’t anymore space in your closet.”
Sharon smirked and looked at Jasper. Just what she expected, she answered sweetly,”Put the rest of my clothes in his closet.”
The maid turned around to leave while Jasper’s eyes widened. “Woah…woah…woah… Why will you put all your things in my closet? When we are not even married. Don’t you know it’s married couple that behaves like that?,” Jasper said.
Sharon gasped again and said,”So you’ve been thinking of me huh! Husband and wife!”
Jasper bit his tongue again. Why are many stupid words escaping his mouth? Is it her new look that is affecting him? Never knew fatty could actually look beautiful.
He almost bit himself again. Why is he calling her beautiful over and over again?
Seeing that her boss didn’t object to the decision, the maid hurriedly went back to inform the others.
Tia woke up just then and before she could even cry, Sharon already knew what she needed. Food! This little princess is actually something else when it comes to food.
Jasper watched her not blinking at all. He already knows she wants to breastfeed Tia. Ever since she came with this new look, her large sized b**bs have actually become more evident cause of the new clothes unlike the baggy ones she always wear.
But Sharon clearly remembers what happened the first day she came, so she looked up and caught him staring. Pervert! Waiting to see a glimpse of her b**bs.
“Turn around,’she said while smirking. Jasper was about to say something but she glared at him and he quickly turn around. Lena already walked out of the room since. Cause she’s tired of watching their PDA(public display of affection).
Even though, the two keep on denying that they feel something to each other. As she walked to the kitchen, she could still hear their argument.
She smiled and said,”Brother I pray you’ll be smarter one day and hold onto her.”

Aiden walked out of his office with a sour expression. He still can’t stop thinking of what happened today. Sheila behaved completely from how he ever expected.
She used to be so sweet, naïve, shy and cute so what changed in her? It was like he was seeing a completely different Sheila. He brought out his phone ignoring the good-bye greetings from his employees.
As soon as he unlocked the phone, he pressed an app by mistake. When the app opened, he stopped walking and stared at the screen.
It’s a beautiful picture of Sharon smiling at the camera. He stroked the screen and murmured,”I was only able to witness your heart of gold. Why… How come I didn’t see beautiful you were before?”
He sighed and thought of something,”Yes, I’ll have to bring her back to me. I’ll beg for forgiveness. I know Sharon is kindhearted and she still loves me.”
He then walked to his car and headed straight towards Sharon’s apartment. He got there and was shocked to find the place in shambles. He watched the ruins of the place and asked around for her.
His heart tightened painfully at the thought of how she must have suffered.
Me: Seriously! Dude you didn’t know that before you falsefully dated her.
Aiden sighed and was about to walk into his car when the neighbor he had just asked questions called him back.
“Sir, she actually came back. Maybe to pack her remaining properties. But she didn’t leave with anything so I’m guessing she might come back,” the woman said.
Aiden thanked her and gave her a bundle on money to express his appreciation. He didn’t notice anyone following him as he left.
The man assigned to watch over the apartment took few pictures of Aiden before he left and sent it to Ben.
Ben smirked when he saw the pictures and soliloquized,”I knew that bastard was cheating on her.”
He quickly took his phone and sent the pictures to Sheila who almost died out of anger. She became even more convinced that Aiden is cheating on her.

Meanwhile at the Madon’s mansion, Sharon had just finished feeding Tia and was now playing with her. Jasper looked like he wanted to say something but he shut his mouth again.
Just then, Jimmy walked in. He just came back from school. He was looking dirty cause of the mud and dirt on his body. Jasper stared at his appearance and asked,”Did you fight in school?”
Jimmy didn’t even try to defend himself instead he nodded indicating yes. Just before Jasper could say anything, he suddenly looked up and noticed Sharon.
He was stunned at first but then he ran to Jasper and said,”I now feel so proud of you. You got rid of fatty and brought another sexy lady the house.”
Everyone looked at him surprised.
