Ruth was a simple and innocent girl.
However, she grew up being spoiled and too pampered since childhood. This made her look down on Anne from the beginning. She was naive but very narcissistic. She even thought that only noble people like her could be in her list of friends.
Cherry was different. Although the Ye Clan was not very rich, she was far better than those who lived under others' roof! Moreover, Cherry had always been admired by Kevin. Thus, she had a place for Ruth's attention.
"Hey, you are still so lively!" Cherry smiled demurely. She must get along well with the woman in front of her, otherwise, who would help her deal with Anne later on?
She didn't expect to be so favored. In less than twenty minutes, she saw Anne walking from afar.
No one knew what got into Kevin these days. When Anne got up this morning, Kevin had prepared breakfast for her.
She was told that Kevin got up early and made the breakfast specially for her. She was confused but she just thanked him for it and didn't continue to think about it.
Before Kevin went out, he called Emily to accompany Anne and gave her a credit card, asking her to go shopping.
She didn't know why he did that, but since it was already done, what could be the point to refuse?
She was quite satisfied with how Kevin treated her these past few days.
Emily could tell that Anne was in a good mood today.
"Anne, you seem to be in a good mood today!" Emily teased her.
Anne looked back and said, "Really? I think you are in a good mood too!"
Emily was also unusual that day. She kept smiling all day, as if she had encountered something good.
"Not that really!" Emily looked away as her cheeks turned red.
Seeing Emily this way, Anne already knew what was happening inside her. She smiled and said, "Well, you already blushed, and you still think you can hide it from me? Did you meet someone you like?"
Emily had always been like a sister to her, so it was easy for her to read what was on her mind. However, she had a hard time figuring out where the mood came from because Emily had not mentioned anything about it.
"Of course not! I am not supposed to be the topic here. We should talk about you." Emily looked at Anne mischievously and asked, "Did Mr. Kevin cook porridge for you last night?"
"How do you know?" Anne wore an unusual expression. She was quite embarrassed and still not used to it when others also knew what Kevin had done for her.
Emily chuckled, "Isn't that obvious? It was so late last night. He called me and asked me to help him find the hotel manager!"
"I see." Anne looked down. It turned out that he really cared about her. Besides, he wouldn't have done everything this morning if he didn't.
When she saw him in the kitchen wearing an apron, she was a bit startled.
She shook her head trying not to fall for all his show. She knew that all of this merely meant nothing. It was all fake! When the baby was born, everything would go back to the way it was again.
It was just too good to be true that Kevin would stay this way even after the baby was born.
Emily and Anne went out together, walking and laughing along the long street. They entered an exclusive shop. The clothes inside were very beautiful, and Emily liked one of them at a glance.
"That looks good. Anne, can you give me some advice? I want to buy a dress."
"What kind of dress do you want to buy?" Anne looked around the shop and found that all the clothes were good, but it was all a bit formal for Emily. She would look older wearing such.
Emily felt the same way. Those clothes really looked good but it didn't suit her.
"The clothes seemed to be designed for older people, but it would still be nice if it's to meet someone elderly, right?"
"Elderly?" "Why are you going to meet someone elderly?" Anne asked in confusion.
"Ah!" Realizing that she had spilled the beans, Emily immediately covered her mouth and said, "I didn't say anything! I mean, I should wear clothes that make me look more mature, so when I go home to see my parents, they will stop saying that I am still a grown-up child!"
Emily looked nervous. She couldn't let Anne find out anything!
Anne chuckled when she noticed that Emily was nervous and said, "Okay, I know. This one is not bad!"
She pointed at a black knee-length dress with ruffled hemline.
This dress should be the most suitable one for Emily in this shop. She would look elegant on this when she met her parents.
"This one! It's really beautiful!"
Emily was about get the dress in front of her when a fair-white hand grabbed it.
"Cherry, what do you think of this dress?"
'Cherry?'
