Chloe was beaming, but she didn't look at Wendy. Instead, she smiled at Elizabeth, "Mom, I'm going over there. Damon is rushing me."
Elizabeth nodded, "I'll take a look too, and pick something out for your dad." Buying clothes for the beloved, how romantic.
Wendy gritted her teeth, struggling to maintain her composure. She looked at Elizabeth with some resentment, who wore a pleasant smile, but said nothing.
In her heart, Elizabeth admired Chloe. The best way to deal with a rival in love was to ignore them. More importantly, she didn't even consider the other party as a rival. That was the real insult. Chloe was just that kind of person. Whether it was Wendy's open challenge or clandestine attacks, she could handle them with ease.
What was a woman's worst fear? Being powerless!
Having a charming man, it was such a headache. Elizabeth admired her daughter-in-law in her heart, but showed no reaction as she headed to the men's section.
They walked straight into a top international menswear brand's counter. "What kind of clothes would you like to buy for your husband? I can help you choose," Wendy's voice was soft and elegant. Elizabeth's gaze swept over the displayed clothes, looking very focused, and didn't respond.
Wendy paused, picked up a black suit next to her and handed it to Elizabeth. "How about this one? It's very suitable for his steady and introverted temperament, right?" Elizabeth glanced at the suit in Wendy's hand but didn't immediately express her opinion.
By mentioning "steady and introverted", Wendy's provocation towards Chloe was crystal clear. Chloe had only met Damon's father once. In Wendy's mind, she may think that Chloe had never met Damon's father, making Chloe seem like an outsider at this moment.
Chloe saw through Wendy's little tricks, but she just gave a faint smile and calmly said, "Mom, you take a look first, I'm going to pick some clothes for Damon."
Elizabeth turned to look at her, "Aren't you coming with us?"
Chloe smiled, "I won't give you any advice. Who in the world knows dad better than you? I believe whatever you buy will definitely be the most suitable for dad. I would just be redundant and might even cause you trouble."
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, with a smile in her eyes as she looked at Chloe, then nodded, "You're right. You go help Damon pick something out. I'll choose here." Regardless, Chloe's words had certainly pleased Elizabeth. Who knew Damon's father better than his wife, Elizabeth?
She thought about it, realizing that it had been a long time since she had personally bought clothes for her husband. It was always delivered by a designer.
Chloe's words made her eager to pick out a suit for her husband.
Several sales associates greeted them warmly and politely. After hearing their conversation, they looked at Wendy with embarrassment.
Wendy's face changed slightly, standing there, not knowing how to express her feelings.
After Chloe finished speaking, without any unnecessary delay, not even glancing at Wendy, she turned and walked away.
