The Wife Is A Superstar 6

Chapter 1016 - That Was You?

Jennie gave her husband an incredulous look. "I don't think so, hon. Some of my past life's memories might be becoming hazy as time passes by but I have quite a good memory. Unless you looked different when you were younger, I'll surely remember it if I met my own husband before."

"Hmmm." Lisa's forehead wrinkled.

Was he mistaken? Maybe the stunning woman he saw years ago at his university library wasn't his wife. After all, he only caught a glimpse of the woman back then. The memory, however, only became more prominent in his mind. It was bothering him so much that he might not be able to fall asleep tonight if he didn't get a clear answer about his hunch once and for all.

"Wife."

"Hm?"

"I want to tell you a story. Will you listen to your husband?"

"Of course. What is it?"

He took her hands and started massaging her soft palms. His eyes continued staring at her face to observe her reaction.

"It was summer time when I just graduated and received my bachelor's degree. Instead of returning home to see my family here, I decided to stay in Boston and take some advance classes to finish my accelerated MBA degree early. I was studying everyday and spending a lot of time in the least crowded library at the university."

Jennie was not sure where his story was headed but she could sense that telling it was important to him. She had no idea why, though. However, she still nodded to encourage him to continue speaking.

"One day, I forgot to bring one textbook from my required reading list so I decided to borrow it from the library instead of wasting time getting it all the way from my apartment. The librarian instructed me to get the book from the upper floors. There weren't many students who frequented that particular library so I thought that I would be the only one upstairs."

His eyes staring at her became sharper and...expectant, making her feel even more confused.

"On the floor where the textbook that I needed was located, I heard someone singing. At first, I was annoyed that someone would have the audacity to make noise inside a library that was supposed to be a quiet place for everyone. But as I walked nearer to the source of the singing, my attitude changed. Why? Because the person's singing voice was the most beautiful that I've ever heard in my entire life."

Jennie couldn't stop herself from curling her lips. He always told her that her singing voice was the most beautiful that he had ever heard in his entire life. Although she wasn't conceited to believe that her voice was the very best in the world, she still felt pleased that her own husband believed her to be the very best. Yet now he was telling her that there was someone who was better than her in his heart?

She attempted to snatch her hands out of his hold but he didn't allow her. On the contrary, he held her hands even tighter. She snorted and turned her head away, refusing to look at him. His face looked very annoying to her at the moment. She became even more annoyed after hearing his light chuckle. She turned her head to face him again and glared at her annoying husband's laughing face.

"The song the woman sang sounded exquisite."

Her eyes narrowed and became dangerous. "Oh? So it was a woman?"

"En."

She clenched her jaw hard. "Was she beautiful?"

"En."

"Li. Sa. Manoban," she growled each syllable low in her throat. "Were you attracted to that woman?"

"Hmm."
