The moment Cassie saw Avery's face, she furrowed her brows in confusion. Why does this Eastern woman look so familiar?
The moment Cassie saw Avery's face, she furrowed her brows in confusion. Why does this Eastern woman look so familiar?
But she was certain that she had never seen her before.
Just as Cassie was about to further observe Avery, she received an urgent call.
Upon seeing the caller ID, a clear wave of annoyance furrowed Cassie's brow.
When she answered the phone and heard the instructions, her face suddenly changed dramatically. “Yes, Godfather, I'll be right back!”
Immediately, Cassie strode out as swiftly as the wind in her ten-centimeter heels. She did not care about the dress in her hands, let alone Avery.
That scene left Avery in awe. This Remdikian woman truly lived up to her reputation as a member of a warrior race. She was incredibly fierce walking so steadily and quickly even in such high heels. Such skill was likely unmatched, even by professional runway models.
Immersed in her own thoughts, Avery was completely unaware that she had just narrowly escaped danger.
...
The friendship among women was quite simple. A casual shopping trip could transform a group of women who were once strangers into close friends.
While Vivian was changing in the fitting room, Avery had already settled the bill and packed her old clothes into a garment bag, waiting for her outside the store with Heather.
Avery looked at the transformed Vivian and nodded in satisfaction. “This outfit suits you very well. I've already paid for it. Let's go.”
Upon hearing that Avery had settled the bill, Vivian became extremely anxious. She immediately took out her own phone and said, “Avery, how... how could I let you pay the bill? Let me transfer the money to you.”
Avery held her hand. “Since you're here with me, I am more than willing to do that. Buying you a piece of clothing is nothing. Besides, you've given Heather and me such valuable gifts. If you continue to stand on ceremony with me, we won't accept your gifts.”
Hearing that, Vivian had no choice but to repeatedly thank Avery, “Thank you, Avery.”
Seeing the two continued to exchange pleasantries, Heather grabbed Vivian's arm and started moving forward. “Oh Vivian, there is no need for formalities with us. Come on. Let's continue our shopping.”
The three of them continued their shopping spree. Along the way, each of them bought a few tops and bottoms.
Cal woke up and obediently strolled around with a few adults, neither crying nor making a fuss.
However, he was interested in all sorts of peculiar toys, and he enjoyed playing with them all by himself.
In a luxury boutique, Vivian set her eyes on a men's GUCCI belt. The craftsmanship was exquisite, adorned with a 16-carat sapphire. The belt was priced at two hundred and sixty nine thousand, and was a limited edition piece with only one available worldwide.
Vivian was instantly captivated by that belt, her gaze unwavering.
Seeing her apparent delight, Avery suggested, “If you like it, just get it.”
After she finished speaking, she pulled out a black card, ready to buy it for her.
Vivian waved her hands repeatedly. “No need. I want to buy this belt myself...”
She snatched Avery's card, preventing her from paying. Avery couldn't fight her and had no choice but to comply with her.
