Sharon was not the only one who was startled, but also the salesperson.
"Did the man just stop me because he took a fancy to this dress and wanted his wife to try it on?" the salesperson thought, bewildered.
Stanley's eyes swept over. "Didn't you hear me?"
The salesperson immediately came to her senses and said, "Uh, no."
Then she instantly took the dress and came to Sharon with a professional smile. "Miss, your husband has good taste. This dress compliments your skin tone very well."
Sharon glanced at her and smiled. "You're right. It does."
Then she went into the fitting room with the salesperson.
Fortunately, the salesperson was poignant and professional, or Sharon would have dragged Stanley out of the store on the spot.
When she came out of the fitting room with the dress on her, a hint of light flashed across Stanley's eyes when he saw her.
Every woman needed a little black dress in her closet.
This was Sharon's first black dress. It was a natural waist design that hugged and outlined her slender waistline perfectly. Her two slim arms that were hanging beside her body were very fair and they complimented the dress very well. It was a perfect dress for her.
Stanley stood up and came to her. He looked down at her and said, "You're very beautiful."
His voice was low and pleasant, with a special charming tone, which made her begin to feel dizzy.
Sharon was a little embarrassed and said, "Take this one then. Let's go."
In the fitting room earlier, she asked the salesperson how much the dress was. It was very expensive.
She was so shocked when she heard the price that she even didn't want to buy a second dress.
Stanley smiled and said, "Okay."
The two of them left under the envious eyes of the salespeople.
Sharon thought that since she had bought the dress as he instructed, she would have the talk with him later to dissuade him from going to the hospital together.
Shawn and Stanley met each other? Forget it.
She didn't look forward to it at all.
At first, she thought that they would leave the mall after buying the dress, but he took her to the cosmetics department next.
Sharon was dumbfounded and did not understand what he was going to do.
Stanley called for the salesperson, took a fancy to some cosmetics, and said, "Apply a light makeup for my wife. She is clumsy and can't do her own makeup."
Sharon looked askance at him.
What did he mean by "clumsy"? That was so insulting.
The salesperson pursed her lips into a smile and started to put on light makeup for Sharon as ordered. Finally, she put on pink lipstick on her lips, producing a lively and young girl look.
The salesperson praised, "Miss, your skin is flawless and perfect. All you need to do is a foundation and you can't see any flaws on your face. You're very beautiful."
Sharon looked into the mirror and was stunned.
Sure enough, the woman in the mirror looked very beautiful and radiant.
Stanley was satisfied. He took her directly to the parking area and said, "Let's go."
Sharon was forced to walk forward as he pulled her. It was quite inconvenient for her to walk faster because of the dress, so she motioned him to slow down, which in turn he frowned and said, "So troublesome."
However, he slowed down his pace.
Sharon saw the opportunity and immediately said, "How about we don't go to the hospital today? Look at me all dressed up. Shall we go shopping instead? How about going to have fun?
They could go on a date like an ordinary couple. They could go shopping, dining, and finally watching a movie as the end.
Sharon thought in a daze, "We've been married for a year and sleep together, but we never go for an official date before."
Not even once.
Today was a good chance. He spent all his effort to bring her out, buying her dress and shoes, just like a couple dating...
Thinking of this, Sharon blushed and her heart beat faster and faster.
She looked up at him with her brightly sparkling eyes and asked, "What do you say? Let's have some fun in the mall."
She was too embarrassed to say the word "dating" because she was afraid that he would tease her.
Sharon looked around and couldn't help feeling envious as she saw that there were a lot of young couples wandering around.
Stanley glanced at her with a faint smile. "Do you think it's possible?"
"How is it not possible?" Sharon did not expect that he would refuse her suggestion so quickly.
