Chapter 10
1071 Words
Jason Lincoln felt as if his heart had been pulled in.
From the very first time he met Jessica Cole, he had known that she embodied the sweet thrill of his youth. Yet he had never imagined that one day she would smile so freely in front of him.
To Jason Lincoln, that feeling was simply extraordinary.
Anna Nolan also had long legs, but compared to Jessica Cole, Jason still felt that his taste truly matched Jessica. The girl did not even need to flirt deliberately to stir his heart.
Unlike Anna Nolan—even when she wore sensual lingerie, unless it was for biological needs, he felt little desire to touch her.
“It looks great. Very beautiful,”
Jason Lincoln praised sincerely.
Seeing the flash of desire in his eyes, Jessica Cole knew she had completely captivated him.
Immediately, she pretended to look disappointed.
“I think the skirt is beautiful too, but… it’s too expensive. I can’t afford it.”
As she spoke, she stepped into the fitting room.
Jason asked,
“How much is it? Jessica, let me buy it for you.”
Jessica let out a small gasp and showed just the right amount of shy embarrassment.
“Oh no, don’t. Jason, this leather skirt is very expensive. It costs more than three thousand dollars.”
Jason almost blurted out,
Isn’t it just three thousand? I thought it was thirty thousand. Don’t even mention three million—if it were thirty million, I’d still buy it as long as you liked it.
But he quickly remembered—
Right now he was nothing more than a poor student with no money.
His future fortune as the richest man would only arrive ten years later.
Still, this was the first time he was buying a gift for Jessica.
Jason Lincoln did not want his first shopping trip with her to end badly.
“Wait for me a moment,” he said quickly.
Jessica Cole had no idea what he was planning.
She watched as he took out his phone, downloaded several apps she didn’t understand, and began adjusting the interface of his w******p banking notifications.
That part she understood—and it shocked her.
Was Jason Lincoln planning to use his mother’s money to buy the leather skirt?
Her mouth fell open in surprise, but she had no intention of stopping him.
Instead, she pretended to look innocent and waited eagerly.
And indeed, Jason Lincoln was using the money his mother had saved in the bank to buy Jessica Cole the leather skirt.
In his previous life, to prevent him from becoming distracted from his studies or falling into financial difficulty, his mother had saved all the scholarships he received each year, as well as the New Year’s money and birthday envelopes given by Mr. Daniel Nolan.
Using Jason’s identification card, she had opened a savings account in his name. The phone number connected to the bank notifications was the same one he was using now.
Jason knew both his own identification number and his mother’s by heart.
All he needed to do was upload and link them.
He remembered that the balance in that account was around fifty thousand dollars.
His mother had once said that the card could only be used after he was accepted into a prestigious overseas university.
In his previous life, Jason Lincoln had never touched that money.
His mother had even said thankfully that she had been smart enough to open the account in Jason’s name first.
Otherwise, all that money would probably have been taken by Anna Nolan.
She had also said that after checking the company’s profits in the future, she would transfer some money into that card—but Jason must never tell Anna Nolan about it.
Jason Lincoln thought to himself:
This money was saved for me anyway.
Using it now shouldn’t be a problem.
He turned to the shop assistant and said,
“Please wrap up the leather skirt.”
He absolutely would not allow Jessica to feel even the slightest disappointment.
Three thousand dollars was still just three thousand dollars.
As long as Jessica was happy, when he became wealthy in the future, his mother would not be angry.
Jessica Cole was stunned.
She truly had not expected Jason Lincoln to be this capable.
Successfully taking such a man away from Anna Nolan made her feel even more satisfied.
However, she still had to maintain her image as a pure and kind-hearted girl.
“Jason, forget it. We’re still students. A leather skirt that costs three thousand dollars is too expensive. Don’t buy it.”
She bit her lip slightly.
“Besides… if Aunt Wendy finds out you secretly used her money to buy me a leather skirt, she might beat you.”
“Jason, I don’t want you to get hurt. No matter how beautiful the skirt is, it’s not worth you getting beaten.”
Jessica even asked the shop assistant not to display the payment code.
Looking at Jessica’s gentle and considerate behavior, Jason Lincoln felt an even stronger urge to treat her well.
“Jessica, this isn’t my mother’s money. It’s mine.”
“Did you forget? Every year I receive scholarships. I always save them.”
“Three thousand dollars—I can afford it.”
The moment Jessica heard that Jason actually had money, her eyes sparkled.
Her gaze then fell on a luxury handbag displayed nearby.
If Jason really had money, could she perhaps also get that bag?
She had liked it for a long time.
But if she mentioned it directly now, it would look too obvious.
So she quickly formed a plan in her mind.
With big, doe-like eyes full of affection, she spoke sweetly to Jason,
“Jason, you’re really too kind.”
“Even in my dreams, I never imagined someone would treat me this well.”
At that moment, the shop assistant was also extremely perceptive.
She had clearly noticed Jessica Cole’s interest in the handbag.
This transaction could reach thirty thousand dollars.
So she immediately put on a professional smile and said,
“Sir, your girlfriend has a very well-proportioned figure.”
“This leather skirt actually comes with a matching set—handbag, shoes, and some jewelry.”
“If they are paired together, the overall look will be much more perfect.”
