Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2122
“Lucius is a boy though, should he really be wearing overalls?” Joan reluctantly replied.
“It’s because he’s a boy that all the more we should let him wear overalls. Wearing them while he’s young would make him look so much more energetic. It won’t be the same when he gets older, though.”
After a long discussion, Joan finally gave in to Caiden’s persuasion and bought the piece of clothing.
“Oh, what about this? This looks good too. No harm trying… “ Caiden babbled on.
“What’s happening? Isn’t Joan’s husband Larry? What’s she doing here with another man?”
“Who knows? The two of them look close, though.”
“Oh my, do you think Joan’s cheating on Larry?”
Nearby, a few of the sales staff were gossiping amongst themselves while throwing looks at Caiden and Joan from time to time.
“Alright, just these then. He’d have more than enough to wear. Let’s go,” Joan said as she hauled her shopping bags to the cashier.
The clothes she picked out weren’t cheap, but thinking about how good Lucius would look in them brought a smile to her face. For him, any amount was worth it. Just as she was about to hand her credit card to the cashier, Caiden pushed her aside.
“Use my card,” he ordered firmly.
The cashier was taken aback by the scene unfolding in front of her and looked back and forth at the two of them, eyes fleeting. Even though Joan hadn’t frequented this boutique, she used to visit the mall very often. She was such a frequent visitor that everyone in the mall knew who she was. They even knew that she was Larry’s wife and a good friend of Nancy’s.
“Caiden, what are you doing? I can’t use your card!” Joan rushed forward and tried to push him away, only to fall into his arms when he stepped back.
The sales staff in the boutique all went wide-eyed with shock.
