Chapter 177
Leonard spoke up at just the right moment. “That’s how she shows affection–by staring at someone she likes without blinking.
Aurora’s smile widened.
With a casual wave, she ordered a few more desserts that kids usually loved.
Watching the two of them together, Leonard felt a warmth bloom in his chest, so full it nearly overflowed.
That afternoon, the three of them arrived at the biggest mall in the city–Grand Zen Mall.
They had a clear goal and headed straight for the clothing section on the third floor.
Faced with rows of colorful children’s clothes, Aurora felt a bit overwhelmed by all the choices.
Leonard, carrying little Nora in his arms, followed closely beside her.
“Aurora, should we head straight to the kids’ section?”
“Yeah, just through the women’s section. The children’s clothes are right past it.”
The moment Leonard heard the words women’s section, his eyes lit up and he quickly suggested, “Well, since we’re not in a rush
this afternoon, do you want to take a look at some clothes for yourself?”
“I don’t think that’s necessary. I have more than enough clothes,” Aurora replied, feeling it wasn’t quite appropriate–today was
about Nora, after all.
But Leonard didn’t agree. “I heard there’s a saying, you know–there’s always one piece missing from a woman’s wardrobe.”
Aurora glanced at him and saw his smiling eyes focused intently on her as he spoke, and for a moment, she didn’t know how to
say no.
“Aren’t we shopping for Nora today?”
Leonard gently bounced Nora in his arms. “It’s alright. Nora’s not in a hurry, right?”
Nora blinked once but said nothing.
Neither of them expected a reply from her anyway.
As long as she was healthy and happy, that was enough.
Unable to resist Leonard’s enthusiastic suggestion, Aurora eventually gave in, and the group detoured to browse women’s clothing first.
Still, she didn’t seem particularly excited–most of her clothes were sent directly by designers her mother had arranged.
She agreed to browse only to see if anything caught her eye design–wise.

“Let’s go.”
“Didn’t find anything you liked?” Leonard asked, puzzled when she didn’t pick out anything
Aurora was about to nod when a surprised voice came from the side. “Oh? Aurora, what are you doing here?”
Both Aurora and Leonard turned toward the voice.
Leonard looked confused–he didn’t recognize either of the two girls.

But Aurora raised a brow slightly when she saw Wendy arm–in–arm with an unfamiliar woman, both staring at her in surprise.
She immediately sensed something was off.
The way Wendy chose this moment to call out to her… didn’t feel right.
And what was this? Dropping the act and calling her so sweetly in public?
