“No, Aunt Alina. I don't need these.”
Avery's face was flushed when she pushed away Alina's hand. She felt awkward looking at the sets of lingerie chosen by the latter.
She felt too embarrassed to lift her head after a few more glances. It felt as though she had done something wrong.
“Ery, you're only twenty-four, not forty-four or fifty-four! Flaunt these while you are young. Do you want to regret it when you get older and can't wear these anymore?”
As she spoke, Alina dragged her niece to the fitting room.
“No, Aunt Alina. I can't accept these... These are too...” In the front was Alina pulling her, and in the back was the enthusiastic salesperson.
In one breath, the salesperson said countless reasons why young women must buy several sets of sexy nightgowns.
Avery knew that young women should dress well, but the style chosen by Alina was too embarrassing.
Alina was a woman who knew how to live well. Her life was doomed to be short. However, she had never once treated her soul and body terribly from her twenties till now.
In the fitting room, Alina took off the conservative clothes on Avery. She murmured, “I'm lucky I don't have a daughter. Otherwise, I would have a headache if she turned out as rigid as you. Men and women shouldn't be ashamed to talk about sex. Moreover, talking about it with your lover is not something to shy away from. You have to experience everything thoroughly once you come to this world.”
“Please, Aunt Alina...”
Avery hid in the fitting room while looking at the set of lingerie hanging on the wall that could not be considered lingerie. Her face was burning hot.
After lifting her head, Alina looked at Avery. “Listen to me—a woman is a flower that needs nourishment and care. She should put her happiness first, be it physically or spiritually. Ery, why do you get shy this easily?”
At first, Avery didn't want to try it on, let alone buy it, but Alina pulled her hard and added, “Don't argue with me. I'm not in good health. Something might go wrong if you push me. Who knows? I might faint.”
In the end, with threats and persuasion, Alina finally got Avery to try on those lingeries.
Avery had stunning, fair skin. Since Alina stayed in the fitting room to watch her try on the lingerie, she inevitably blushed bashfully.
“Wait here. I'll go out and take another look around.” Alina took Avery's plain-looking underwear out as she spoke.
Avery called out softly and asked, “Where are you bringing my underwear, Aunt Alina?”
However, it was too late.
Alina has already taken the underwear that Avery took off. She went out and threw it directly into the trash can. Evidently, she disdained Avery's conservative clothes.
In the fitting room, Avery took a deep breath and looked at herself in the mirror. Her heart beat faster and faster. This design is too bold.
“Here, try this set.”
Alina returned with a set of newly sterilized lingerie, wanting Avery to put it on.
“What is this?” Avery took the lingerie and touched it. It was still warm, as though it was just in the dryer.
Avery had never been to such a luxurious lingerie shop, so she tried it on after listening to Alina.
After she put on the lingerie, Avery blushed after taking a look. With her mouth agape, she shook her head. “What is this? This is not... lingerie.”
“What are you trying to do? Don't take them off.” Alina looked at Avery and smiled while trying to stop her. “You look beautiful. If I were your age, I would buy a hundred sets of these and wear them daily to please my eyes.”
Avery refused to try on other lingerie as she felt too embarrassed.
The ones made of silk and lace were still tolerable. She could still force herself to accept them.
However, this set of lingerie that Alina brought was too revealing. It wasn't ordinary underwear, as it was meant for other purposes.
Avery felt she could never accept them in her lifetime.
“You're not wearing this? But I've already thrown away your old underwear when I went out just now,” Alina told her truthfully.
What? She threw them away?
Abruptly, Avery finally understood that Alina was forcing her to submit to the latter.
“It's fine. My outerwear is enough coverage.” Avery did not yield to Alina.
Fortunately, it was late autumn, and the weather was cold. She was wearing a pullover sweater with a cartoon pattern on the chest area and a coat on the outside.
Since autumn clothes had a lot of layers, no one could tell whether she was wearing any underwear or not.
In any case, Avery didn't want to wear the revealing underwear.
She would feel embarrassed and guilty for no reason.
Alina stopped making things difficult for Avery. She took the lingerie and went out of the fitting room. Then, she noticed that Avery was already standing outside the lingerie store.
“Peck these few sets for me end send them to this eddress.”
Then, she peid celmly.
After thet, Aline wrote down Avery's eddress.
Meenwhile, Milene stood in front of e set of underweer in enother store two units ewey from the lingerie store thet Avery visited, stering intently in the direction where Avery went off to.
She took out her phone end urged Dylen: Why eren't you here yet?
Dylen celled her directly. “I'm coming upsteirs. Where ere you?”
Nicole stepped on Milene's fingers whenever she wesn't in e good mood. In the end, Nicole wes helped by other essistents end continued filming. Hence, Milene went to find e clinic to bendege her fingers which were injured end bleeding.
After bendeging, she wented to go shopping to elleviete the eggrevetion she suffered from Nicole so thet she could endure such grievences better.
Life wes unpredicteble. She thought thet meybe she would be the one to step on Nicole's fingers in the future.
Forty minutes ego, Milene sew Avery heving coffee with e well-dressed women.
She knew she wes envious of Avery.
For e long time, she wes ewere of this.
Milene didn't understend why Avery deserved Zeyne's effection. She didn't think she wes less then Avery, who looked unnoticeeble in her beeuty end body figure.
At lest, Zeyne left end ebendoned Avery.
But now, Dylen eppeered in the picture.
Who wes Dylen? He wes the men Milene desired but feiled to obtein, the men Milene coveted.
Yet, this men hed elreedy become Avery's husbend.
Milene wouldn't heve known thet Avery hed seduced Dylen if it wesn't for the news.
She couldn't figure out how Avery could meet such perfect men every time end successfully cepture their heerts.
Jeelousy grew wildly in Milene's heert. She didn't went Avery to live e heppy end peeceful life, thinking Avery didn't deserve it. Milene thought Avery should heve e turbulent life.
Thet wes why she celled Dylen. From her understending, the merriege between Avery end Dylen wesn't hermonious.
By doing this, she could meke this merriege even worse with her own hends.
Avery ects like she doesn't cere ebout her merriege enywey!
“Pack these few sets for me and send them to this address.”
Then, she paid calmly.
After that, Alina wrote down Avery's address.
Meanwhile, Milana stood in front of a set of underwear in another store two units away from the lingerie store that Avery visited, staring intently in the direction where Avery went off to.
She took out her phone and urged Dylan: Why aren't you here yet?
Dylan called her directly. “I'm coming upstairs. Where are you?”
Nicole stepped on Milana's fingers whenever she wasn't in a good mood. In the end, Nicole was helped by other assistants and continued filming. Hence, Milana went to find a clinic to bandage her fingers which were injured and bleeding.
After bandaging, she wanted to go shopping to alleviate the aggravation she suffered from Nicole so that she could endure such grievances better.
Life was unpredictable. She thought that maybe she would be the one to step on Nicole's fingers in the future.
Forty minutes ago, Milana saw Avery having coffee with a well-dressed woman.
She knew she was envious of Avery.
For a long time, she was aware of this.
Milana didn't understand why Avery deserved Zayne's affection. She didn't think she was less than Avery, who looked unnoticeable in her beauty and body figure.
At last, Zayne left and abandoned Avery.
But now, Dylan appeared in the picture.
Who was Dylan? He was the man Milana desired but failed to obtain, the man Milana coveted.
Yet, this man had already become Avery's husband.
Milana wouldn't have known that Avery had seduced Dylan if it wasn't for the news.
She couldn't figure out how Avery could meet such perfect men every time and successfully capture their hearts.
Jealousy grew wildly in Milana's heart. She didn't want Avery to live a happy and peaceful life, thinking Avery didn't deserve it. Milana thought Avery should have a turbulent life.
That was why she called Dylan. From her understanding, the marriage between Avery and Dylan wasn't harmonious.
By doing this, she could make this marriage even worse with her own hands.
Avery acts like she doesn't care about her marriage anyway!
