Awakening of the Scheming Wife
Chapter 83: Beautiful? Yes!

Chapter 83: Beautiful? Yes!

"You didn’t apologize at first. You started apologizing only after I ran behind you," Helena snorted and complained directly.

Vernon looked at her in shock but did not refute. He lowered his head, "I am sorry. I really did not mean that."

Helena crossed her arms, pouted, and turned her head away from him while scoffing. "Hmph."

"Okay, okay. Helena, I will teach a lesson later. Now that he apologized, let this matter be and get back to work, will you? You have yet to wear your dress. Did you see the time?" Jemma looked at Helena.

Helena pursed her lips. She looked at Vernon and glared. Then she looked at Jemma and nodded obediently.

"I am almost ready, sister Jemma. See, everything is done. All that’s left is to wear my dress now. That’s all."

She twirled around to show her hair to Jemma.

Jemma smiled and gently caressed her hair, "You look stunning. So beautiful. Today, everyone will be looking at you. The spotlight will be entirely on you. You will see."

She even lightly pinched Helena’s cheek as she found her so cute and pretty.

Helena smiled prettily, listening to her words, "hehe. Really? Am I that beautiful?"

She looked at her reflection in the mirror once again to check if what Jemma said was the truth or if she was just patronizing her.

"Of course. Why would I lie to you? You can ask anyone. No. Actually, when you enter the venue, you will see for yourself how all the eyes will be glued to you. Then you will believe that I am telling the truth." Jemma said with a smile.

"Yes. yes. That’s what I said as well. That she is very pretty." Vernon poked his head in between the two women and included himself in the conversation, while also trying to make Helena forgive him.

Helena continued smiling at Jemma while her hand ’sneakily’ went to Vernon’s cheek and pushed his face away.

She pretended like Vernon never existed and continued talking to Jemma.

Jemma pursed her lips and stifled a laugh seeing their antics.

But she went along with Helena and ignored Vernon as well.

Today is a big day for Helena. So, she wanted her to be as happy as possible. She wanted her to be the happiest woman at the entire event that night.

"Wear your dress now. I want to see your final outlook before anyone else," Jemma smiled and said.

"Sure sure. He he. Sister Jemma. Wait for it. The dress I got is so beautiful. You will definitely like it. Hehe," Helena gushed over her dress.

"Wow. You are right. You look so beautiful in this dress. It is really made just for you. It fits perfectly to your personality as well," Jemma looked at Helena in her dress and praised, with her eyes and lips wide open in amazement.

Vernon, too, blinked his eyes and looked at her. He always knew that she was beautiful. That doesn’t change how he would be amazed the same every time she dressed up like that.

Every single time, he feels like he is looking at her for the first time, and he will be amazed all the same.

He had actually seen this dress before. Not just the dress but her hair and makeup, everything. It was exactly the same as when she got ready for the event in his previous life.

She did not change a thing.

Even though he had seen her attire the last time, he was amazed by her beauty once again.

Jemma looked at his expression and smiled, "Isn’t your wife beautiful?"

Vernon subconsciously nodded before he realized that his sister-in-law was teasing him.

He lowered his head and scratched the back of his head.

He scolded himself in his heart. (You idiot. You should fall for her looks now. You both have already agreed to get a divorce in a year. Don’t forget that.)

"Ehem," He cleared his throat and raised his head to look at Jemma, "Of course she is beautiful. So are you, sister-in-law."

"Fine, fine. I won’t tease you. You don’t have to praise me just to avoid the topic," Jemma smiled and lightly slapped his arm.

"Huh? What are you talking about, sister-in-law?" Vernon pretended to be stupid, and Jemma shook her head at his antics.

"Yes, sister Jemma, he is right. You look so beautiful as well. When we enter the venue together, everyone will definitely think that we are real sisters. How great would that be, right?" Helena held Jemma’s arm intimately and spoke animatedly.

Vernon saw her actions and blinked his eyes. He stopped smiling subconsciously.

When he saw Helena and Jemma together in these outfits, he couldn’t help but recall what happened in his previous life. He felt something stuck in his throat at that thought.

What happened during the anniversary party the last time... would it happen this time as well?

No! He should avoid it at all costs.

As he was thinking, Vincent came and took Jemma out of the room for something.

Everyone else left the room as well since all the work was already done.

It was now only Vernon and Helena in the room.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Helena touched her face subconsciously and even looked at the mirror to see if something was wrong with her makeup with how Vernon was looking at her face seriously.

Vernon pursed his lips for a second before asking her, "If I ask you a question, will you answer me sincerely?"

Helena tilted her head to the side and blinked her eyes in confusion, "Huh? I mean, yeah. Sure. What is it?"

Vernon took a deep breath before he asked her, "How is your relationship with Sister Jemma? I mean, what do you feel about her?"

Helena looked at him in confusion, "Huh? What do you mean? Why do you ask?"

"Answer me. Do you by any chance have any problems with her, and you didn’t tell me something? Are you hiding anything about this from me?" Vernon asked her seriously.
