Chapter 29 Dowry for Her
Jennifer was afraid that she would worry, but she quickly comforted her, “I have to lose weight for your wedding.”
Carley frowned and lectured her, “You’re going to be so thin, you’ll have to eat streak for every meal.”
Charles chuckled. “Wouldn’t that make her fat?”
Carley grunted. “My Jennifer looks good in any size.”
Charles nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. Your Jennifer looks great no matter what. Can you come with me to my makeup fitting now?”
Interrupted by Charles, Carley forgot about lecturing Jennifer and dragged her toward the dressing room.
They tried on the makeup in the bridal shop and went to the hotel to go through the wedding process.
When they were done, Charles took Carley and Jennifer to a restaurant for dinner and then drove them home.
Carley went home to rest for a while and then began to pack up.
Charles bought a house, and Carley would live in it when she gets married.
“Jennifer, when I move into our new house, you’re gonna take care of our little home, and you’re gonna take good care of it.”
For Carley, the two-bedroom apartment was safe under Jennifer’s guard.
“Okay.”
Jennifer smiled and nodded, took the clothes from her hands, and folded them one by one.
Carley picked out some clothes from her closet and decided not to pack
anymore.
Even though she and Charles were married, she would still come back to spend time with Jennifer.
Jennifer read her mind and didn’t say much.
After helping her fold her clothes and put them in the suitcase, she smiled at Carley and said, “I have a wedding present for you.”
Carley smiled softly. “What gift?”
“Wait for me.”
Jennifer turned back to her bedroom, opened a drawer, pulled out a card, and handed it to Carley.
“Here’s a dowry I’ve saved up for you. Keep it with you.”
A woman should have her own money when she got married.
She split her salary over the years, one for Shaun, one for Carley, and one for expenses.
Every salary, plus the bonuses, was almost three hundred thousand a year. She hadn’t spent much, so she had saved all of it. After returning some money to Shaun, she had saved about two hundred thousand.
Not a lot, but if Carley had a few bucks to fall back on if something went wrong after the wedding, she’d be relieved.
Besides, the money was clean, not from sex, but from her own work, and Carley would be comfortable with it.
Carley was shocked to see the card.
She thought Jennifer didn’t have much money after she paid Shaun back his one million.
She thought about giving Jennifer some more money, but to her surprise, she had saved up a dowry for her instead.
It must have been saved because she was always frugal and reluctant to spend money.
No wonder she was so thin. This was how much she had suffered from
hunger.
She touched Jennifer’s cheek feeling for her. “Jennifer, you’ve suffered.”
Jennifer smiled softly, “My annual salary is high, I don’t really spend much, I could save some money, you just take it.” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Carley pushed away Jennifer’s card. “I can’t take this money. I’m older than you. I’m your older sister. It’s only right for older sisters to prepare dowry for their younger sisters, not the other way around.”
Jennifer knew she wouldn’t take it, and she stopped trying to persuade her and just shoved the card into her suitcase.
