The CEO's Wife Is a Medical Master-Chapter 21: The Most Handsome Man

"Not much. Just an appetizer," Nathaniel Nathan said nonchalantly.

Vera Xavier didn’t quite understand what he meant by "appetizer." She did a quick mental calculation. All the clothes added up to at least five thousand yuan.

In Crestfall, the monthly salary for an average worker at the time was only five or six hundred yuan. These clothes were equivalent to an average worker’s annual income.

She felt a little embarrassed after realizing the cost, but she knew his personality, so she didn’t say anything more. Instead, she started wondering what she could get for him later.

She thought the shopping spree was over, but as it turned out, she was far too naive!

She had also severely underestimated Scion Nathan’s wealth and his capacity for doting on his wife.

After buying the clothes, he immediately whisked her off to the women’s shoe department. There, he picked out three pairs of fashionable leather shoes for the season, followed by three pairs of sandals.

After that, he took her to buy a pile of socks and undergarments. Her face flushed slightly watching him pick out those items, but his own expression never wavered. His cool, stern face remained completely impassive the entire time.

The salesclerk beside them, however, seemed a little flustered. As he went to pay, she sighed, "A man who spoils his girlfriend like that is an absolute keeper! Sob, I want one so bad!"

A small smile touched Vera Xavier’s lips. They had gotten married behind the Preston Family’s back, and while they had the certificate, neither of their parents knew. It almost felt like she was a kept woman.

’And to be honest,’ she thought, ’this feeling isn’t bad at all!’

After purchasing all that, Nathaniel Nathan took her to the jewelry department on the first floor. In his typical, decisively direct style, he immediately pointed to the most expensive set of gold jewelry in the display case—a masterpiece by an old artisan, featuring intricate engravings and auspicious patterns.

There was also a pair of diamond rings.

The diamond rings appeared to be something he had custom-ordered in advance; they were far superior to anything in the display case. They were incredibly exquisite, with a diamond that was definitely over a carat—large and brilliant. Given the current market, a set like that would cost at least a hundred thousand yuan. After this latest extravagance, she finally understood what Nathaniel Nathan had meant by "appetizer."

’Damn,’ she thought. ’Compared to this stuff, the clothes and shoes from earlier really were just appetizers!’

This collection of items was incredibly valuable, and Vera Xavier hesitated to accept it all. She cleared her throat and said, "This is all too expensive. I can’t accept it."

Nathaniel Nathan looked at her with a wry smile. "You think I can’t afford the bill?"

"Of course not." Others might not have known, but Vera Xavier did.

In her past life, Nathaniel Nathan was already well-established by this point. He had his own company overseas before returning to the country. She wasn’t clear on the specifics, but she knew that even back then, he possessed the kind of wealth you’d only read about in romance novels featuring a domineering CEO.

It was just that she was used to being self-reliant. Although she had only just been reborn and was still in a vulnerable position, she knew she had the ability to build a good life for herself.

Furthermore, she wasn’t a vain person and wasn’t in the habit of accepting handouts. Having him spend so much money on her all at once today left her conscience feeling a little uneasy.

After all, she was only just trying to get along with him. They barely knew each other, and she was still a million miles away from falling in love with him. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Nathaniel Nathan glanced at her. "Don’t worry. This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for me. Besides," he added, "we’re already married. My money is your money. There’s no need to feel awkward."
