As Shelton spoke, he went inside.
As soon as he left, the designer said quietly, "Well, I thought you would leave your bank card to her."
For no reason, hearing the designer's words, I felt a little embarrassed.
"It turns out that previously, Shelton once said the same words to another woman and treated her the same as he does to me."
"During this period, Shelton has been very nice to me and done all kinds of things for me."
"If it weren't because I had fallen for Patrick wholeheartedly first, I surely would have loved Shelton with all my heart."
At this moment, I actually could somewhat relate to this woman.
I stepped forward and pulled Shelton, saying, "Shelton, let's get my wedding dress designed here. After all, it makes no difference wherever we go."
Since Shelton had paid the bill, we might as well book a wedding dress here.
Looking at me with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, the designer said, "Shelton? I find this address so familiar. I used to call you like that too. How many years have I been calling you Shelton?"
As she spoke, she began counting with her hands.
"I know. Let's book a wedding dress here." Shelton interrupted the woman and pulled me to pay the bill.
As I walked, I took out my bank card from my bag.
The designer looked at us from behind and chuckled, "Haha, as expected, you have his bank card. Dr. Shelton, sure enough, your tactics for girls are consistent over the decades. Although there isn't any change, they are quite useful... right?"
As she finished her words, she looked at me.
She was looking for something in my eyes.
Staring at me for a few seconds, she curled up the corner of her mouth with a smile, "It seems that this girl is smarter than me. She knows that she should keep something to herself."
Hearing his words, Shelton looked gloomier and gloomier, saying to me, "Are you sure you want to make a wedding dress here? I can find a better one for you..."
"Let's do it here."
I said with certainty.
In fact, the reason why I wanted to make my wedding dress here was that I wanted to know Shelton's past.
I wondered if the designer would tell me the truth.
Shelton thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and went to pay the bill.
It seemed that he was afraid that I would be alone with the designer. When he went to pay the bill, he took me with him.
The sound of soft laughter of the designer came from behind.
I wondered whether she was laughing at Shelton or laughing at herself.
After paying the bill, Shelton wanted to give the bank card back to me. However, this time, whatever he said, I refused to accept it.
To tell the truth, knowing that Shelton had entrusted his bank card to other women, I suddenly felt that it was no longer so sacred.
We are in a wedding dress store. Shelton didn't want to be entangled with me here. So he put the bank card away first.
After paying the bill, I went to the designer. Walking to the front of her, I bent my knees slightly and kept my face at the same level as hers, saying, "Hello, my name is Janetta Nolan. I'll leave my wedding dress to you."
After that, I extended my hand.
The designer was a little surprised by my behavior. She was stunned for a moment. After that, she revealed a good-looking smile, held my hand, and said, "My name is Shirley Stanton. You can rest assured that I will design the best-looking wedding dress for you."
"Thank you."
I straightened my back.
Shirley monitored the wheelchair, made it move inside, and said, "Miss Nolan, come in with me. I'll ask my assistant to measure your size. By the way, tell me whether you have any expectations about your wedding dress. I'll design some specifically for you according to your thoughts." After saying that, she stopped the wheelchair and turned around to look at me, saying, "This is the first time I've provided such special service to the guests."
"Thank you."
I followed Shirley. And Shelton followed me with a nervous look on his face.
When we arrived at the door of an elevator that led to the second floor, Shirley looked at Shelton and smiled slightly, saying, "Dr. Shelton, you are so worried. Are you afraid that I will say something bad about you?"
Shelton didn't say anything.
After measuring my size, Shirley said to her assistant, "Go wait at the door."
After the assistant went out, Shirley motioned me to sit down.
I put on my clothes and sat on the sofa in the room. Shirley looked at me and said, "Seeing Shelton like this, do you have any idea?"
"I am not surprised."
I looked down.
In fact, subconsciously, I had known that Shelton was such a person. So when he revealed such an expression today, I wasn't surprised. On the contrary, I felt that it couldn't be more normal.
Hearing my words, Shirley was quite surprised, saying, "You know that he is such a person, don't you?" But she quickly put away her expression and said with a smile, "That's right. I might be the only fool in the world."
Looking at Shirley, I didn't know what to say at the moment.
After a moment of hesitation, I asked, "Can you tell me about your past?"
I had always known that Shelton had a complicated personality.
As Patrick once said, he wasn't as righteous as he was on the surface.
As for me, since I decided to marry him, I had the right to know this.
If I went to ask Shelton, he probably wouldn't tell me the truth.
Hearing what I said, Shirley smiled, "I'm sorry. I probably can't tell you about this today."
"Why not?"
"Because Shelton is clear about how long it takes to measure the size."
Hearing a few words from Shirley, I understood what she meant.
She knew Shelton too well.
From this, I could see that she surely had been with Shelton for many years.
