The Abandoned Wife Dumped Him First (Victoria and Elias) novel Chapter 224

"Then... then..." Sunny's mind raced, searching for another solution. "Then we'll sell them online..."

"Sunny."

Victoria cut her off, turning to look at her seriously. "Now that they're in your hands, I won't take them back. If you really want to sell them, I won't stop you.

But I'd much rather see you wearing them at your wedding."

Hearing this, Sunny felt tears well up in her eyes.

She and her fiancé had both come from small towns to make a life for themselves in The Imperial Capital. They didn't have wealthy families or backgrounds, and a wedding would cost at least several hundred thousand dollars. It was why they'd been legally married for over a year but still hadn't been able to have a wedding reception.

Just recently, she had received the design fees and bonuses from several projects she'd handled, and her husband had gotten a promotion at his company. Only then had they finally saved up enough for the wedding.

The moment she knew they had enough money, she had excitedly shared the news with Victoria, even asking her to be a bridesmaid.

Sunny wiped the moisture from the corner of her eye and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not selling them."

Victoria's eyebrow arched playfully. Before she could speak, Sunny continued, "I'm going to wear these heels and be the most beautiful bride! Victoria, you have to be my bridesmaid!"

"Okay."

Throughout the drive, Sunny clutched the gift box, unable to part with it. She even insisted on bringing it with her when they went to eat.

Victoria laughed. "Why don't you just get a backpack and carry it around on your back?"

"That's not a bad idea! This is two hundred thousand dollars, after all!" Sunny actually considered looking around for a bag to buy.

Seeing this, Victoria quickly stopped her, put the gift box back in the car, and then dragged her toward the restaurant.

Sunny kept looking back every few steps.

"Don't worry, it's safer in the car than it is with you parading it all over town. It won't get stolen," Victoria said, exasperated.

"But..."

"No buts. Are we eating or not?" Victoria put on a stern face.

Sunny met her gaze and immediately changed her tune. "We're eating, we're eating! Nothing is more important than an empty stomach. It's my treat today! Whatever Miss Sanger wants, Miss Sanger gets!"

"In that case, I want to eat at that French restaurant," Victoria said, tilting her chin to indicate the place.

Sunny followed her gaze, fell silent for a few seconds, then linked her arm through Victoria's and started walking in the opposite direction. "I don't think French food is that good. That burger joint looks pretty decent, why don't we go there instead?"

"Sunny, you're the associate director of Group Three now, and you're still so cheap!" Victoria scolded with a laugh.

Victoria took off her coat and draped it over the back of her chair. "Go ahead and order. Didn't you tell me before that the fried chicken here is amazing?"

Victoria's words dispelled any lingering embarrassment Sunny felt, and she broke into a smile.

"Hey! Are you blind? Didn't you see me sitting here? If you can't even carry a plate properly, you have no business working here!"

Just then, a female customer at the table behind them stood up angrily and threw the condiment tray she was holding at the waitress in front of her.

Clang!

The waitress was splattered with sauce, and the stainless steel tray clattered to the floor.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." The waitress bit her lip, her face pale, and bowed her head, apologizing repeatedly.

The manager hurried over. "I'm sorry, she's new. I'm truly sorry for the unpleasant dining experience. How about this? Your meal is on the house, okay?"

"I got burned, and you think comping my meal is going to make it okay?"

The woman was relentless, about to show off the part of her skin that was burned.

But when she held out her hand, the redness on the back of it had already faded significantly.
