…
After a while, Felipe asked someone to send Madeline home.
On the way home, Madeline played with virtual-novel.net phone and realized that Jeremy had sent virtual-novel.net a message a while ago. However, it stated that virtual-novel.net had seen the message.
She looked out the window and pondered. At the same time, the car was driving downhill.
The speed of the car distracted virtual-novel.net as a seemingly familiar scene appeared in virtual-novel.net mind.
When virtual-novel.net came back to virtual-novel.net senses, the car had stopped in front of virtual-novel.net house.
Jeremy came back the same time virtual-novel.net got out of the car.
When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline standing at the front door with a dazed look on virtual-novel.net face, virtual-novel.net got out of the car hurriedly and ran toward her. “Linnie?”
Madeline came back to virtual-novel.net senses when virtual-novel.net heard someone calling virtual-novel.net name.
She lifted virtual-novel.net head and virtual-novel.net eyes met Jeremy’s worried gaze. She smiled softly. “My mom called me just now and told me there’s a charity dinner tonight. She wants me to go with her, so I went to the mall just now. But I didn’t like any of the dresses I saw.”
Jeremy held virtual-novel.net hand instantly. “Linnie, I’ll go shopping with you.”
“You’re gonna go shopping with me?”
“Yeah.” Jeremy smiled softly. Then, without hesitation, virtual-novel.net brought Madeline to the most extravagant street that sold predominantly branded goods.
Even though virtual-novel.net was not the president of a transnational company anymore, virtual-novel.net was willing to go broke if it meant that virtual-novel.net would see Madeline smile.
However, Madeline was not used to having a man following virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net went shopping for clothes. She came up with an excuse and said virtual-novel.net wanted to drink milk tea. Then, virtual-novel.net asked Jeremy to buy it for virtual-novel.net before walking into a shop.
After looking around, virtual-novel.net saw that there were not a lot of customers in the shop. However, the saleswomen were running around as if they were swamped. They did not notice Madeline at all.
Madeline looked around the shop for a while and spotted a dress that virtual-novel.net liked. She wanted to try it on, but they did not have virtual-novel.net size.
She went over to inquire about it but the saleswoman merely looked at Madeline who was dressed casually from head to toe before saying coldly, “We don’t have your size. Go to another shop.”
“Do you not have it or do you not want to get it for me?” Madeline asked in an even colder tone.
The saleswoman rolled virtual-novel.net eyes impatiently. “I said we don’t have it, so we don’t have it. So what even if we do have it? Will you buy it? Can you afford it? Do you know that we have a VIP customer today? Just one purchase from virtual-novel.net is enough to make up for our sales for the entire month. Who’d have time to serve you? Get lost!”
The saleswoman chased virtual-novel.net away, and then, virtual-novel.net smiled flatteringly in one direction before saying respectfully, “Mrs. Montgomery, the clothes you want are all here. Please have a look at them.”
‘Mrs. Montgomery?’
Madeline turned around to where the saleswoman was looking.
Eloise turned virtual-novel.net head over at the same time as well. When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline, virtual-novel.net ran over in excitement. “Eveline!”
When the saleswoman saw this, virtual-novel.net face fell in awkwardness. She could also feel virtual-novel.net scalp getting numb.
Eloise ran over to Madeline, and virtual-novel.net eyes were filled with love. “Eveline, you’re just in time. I’m buying you some clothes. I picked these just now. Do you like them? If you do, I’ll ask them to wrap them up for you. If this isn’t enough, we can just go to another shop. I’ll buy you anything you want as long as you like them.”
The saleswoman’s face turned green when virtual-novel.net heard this.
She was frozen for a while before walking over and bracing herself. “Oh, y-you’re Miss Montgomery. Um… I-I’m sorry about just now. I just—”
“I don’t want any of the clothes from just now.”
Madeline rejected directly.
Eloise’s face fell. She thought Madeline was mad at virtual-novel.net again. However, in the next second, Madeline grabbed virtual-novel.net arm.
“Mom, let’s go to another shop. I don’t like the attitude and service of the salespeople here.”
The saleswoman’s face turned pale. She ran over to try to fix what virtual-novel.net had done, but it was futile.
Great, virtual-novel.net big sale was gone!
It was such a rare opportunity for Eloise to spend some time alone with Madeline, so virtual-novel.net was excited. However, when Eloise remembered how Madeline would only call virtual-novel.net ‘Mom’ and spend time with virtual-novel.net after having lost virtual-novel.net memory, virtual-novel.net felt a dull ache in virtual-novel.net heart.
However, this might be the best opportunity. Eloise pondered for a while before stopping Madeline. “Eveline, there’s something I want to give you.”
