Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 511

If Christopher was expressive and passionate, then Julia was a reserved person. I verified that point while shopping with her. Just like Christopher said, once she acknowledged someone, she would stop acting polite and interact with the person in the same way she would with her family members.

Throughout the ride, she criticized me relentlessly. When we were in the boutique, she would express her dismay at all the clothes that I liked and berate me for having no sense of fashion. Yet, after all the criticisms, she would teach me how to match my clothes.

Next, we went shopping for jewelry. Whenever I took fancy to the sparkling jewelry, she would complain that I was frivolous. To be honest, the jewelry she chose was dazzling as well, but it was a better match with what she was wearing. It appeared low-key but sophisticated. The more I looked at it, the nicer it was.

That was not the end. The situation worsened when we went for tea. She would ask me to describe the taste of the tea and remember their names. I had never learned about any tea ceremony or done floral arrangements. The only thing I was persistent about was drawing.

At that moment, I began to wonder why she brought me out for shopping alone without Shelley. Could it be that she wants to cut me down to size?

“Isn’t this Ms. Tanner? I’ve been looking for you everywhere.” When we came out of the jewelry store, someone greeted me. Hearing that, I looked back and saw a familiar face. “Who are you, Sir? Is there a reason you are looking for me?”

The man probably did not expect me to not recognize him at all. With an awkward smile on his face, he introduced himself. “Ms. Tanner, I’m the person in charge of the National Youth Art Exhibition and Contest. I’ve called you before, but the call didn’t get through. Initially, I was thinking of meeting you directly, but I happened to bump into you here.”

Finally, I came to a realization. No wonder he looked familiar! Then, I queried in puzzlement, “Why are you looking for me? I’ve already withdrawn from the contest, haven’t I?”
