The man took a pair of small shoes and glanced at her. "Why do you care about that fish so much? If you want a baby, you should give birth to your own."
Maria was speechless. She withdrew her gaze and stared at the man. "I dare you to call Bob a fish again!"
Ignoring her anger, the man raised the baby's shoes in front of her and asked, "How about this pair?"
"Ugly." They were actually adorable shoes, but Maria was angry. This man always said that her son was a fish, but why didn't he say that he himself was a fish instead?
With a straight face, James put the shoes back and said, "Okay, they are ugly. Let me change another pair."
At last, the two of them picked a lot of things for Bob. When they were about to pay the bill, Maria suddenly held James' arm and tilted her head on his shoulder. With a sweet smile, she said, "Brother-in-law, please pay the bill!"
The two shop assistants gaped. They looked at them both in a strange way.
James looked at the woman with his darkened eyes and acted with her calmly. "How about I break up with your sister and be with you?"
"Great!" Maria kissed him on the cheek.
Seeing the scene, a shop assistant took the card from James and her hands shook. The card fell on the table. "I'm sorry. My hand slipped."
'Gosh, it's so exciting. The woman is cheating on her sister with her sister's husband, and they want to get rid of her sister. There is nothing strange in the world!' the shop assistant thought to herself.
While the shop assistant was swiping the card, James asked Maria beside him, "Your husband was gone this morning. And now you've agreed to be with me. Is it really appropriate? My dear sister-in-law?"
Maria gaped. She wondered how come suddenly she had a husband. But she still answered him with a smile, "Of course it is. Why not? If you don't want to be with me as soon as possible, why do you piss him off to death?"
The shop assistant's eyes almost popped out. What kind of soap opera was this?
"He died too fast! Was it because he witnessed that... I fucked you?" Since she wanted to play, he would play to the end.
Maria was almost choked by her own saliva. She could not believe that James could even be such shameless in order to win her. "Dearest brother-in-law, don't let my sister hear it. Or you probably need to kneel on the ground for the whole night!"
Maria, obviously, didn't know how to continue this play now.
However, James became more shameless. With one hand around her slender waist, he continued, "I don't want to kneel on the ground, I want to kneel... by your side."
There was a deep implication in this sentence. One of the shop assistants had a child already and the other one was a young girl. The child's mother understood immediately. The girl continued to listen to the conversation between the two in confusion, and a dramatic soap opera had been played in her mind.
Maria wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide herself. She had never thought that James would be so shameless! She acted coquettishly to cover her gritted teeth. "Ah, you are so bad!"
James put away his bank card, raised her smooth chin, and pecked on her lips. Then he threw the last bomb to the shop assistants and said, "Let's go and send these things to our son."
The shop assistants was rendered speechless and agape.
Maria suddenly looked at him and studied his expression seriously.
"Our son" mentioned by James made her a little flustered. Although she knew what he meant, Maria felt flustered and nervous at the thought of these words coming out of his mouth.
The two were walked out by the shop assistants. Before they walked two meters away, four or five shop assistants had already gathered behind them and discussed the big scene just now.
The cashier, a young girl, asked the child's mother, "Holly, why did the man say that he didn't want to kneel on the washboard? Why did he want to kneel beside her?"
Holly tittered. "It's not good for children!" Wasn't it a man kneeling when the two were having sex?
A careless saleswoman next to her explained directly, "That man is flirting with his sister-in-law, which means he wants to sleep with her!"
The girl was suddenly enlightened. She clicked her tongue and said, "It's so exciting! Rich families are really dramatic." The two people just now were either rich or powerful, especially the man, who was extraordinary and handsome. If she was his sister-in-law, she would also be attracted to him, wouldn't she?
