"While the wife was buying clothes for their husbands, she was anxiously picking out something. This one's not right, and that one's not to her liking... At first, I thought she was the mistress, but it turns out she was talking about sizes from years ago. She didn’t even deserve to be a mistress."
"She's pretty. Why would she do something like this?"
"Well, have you ever seen an ugly mistress?"
"True that."
Although the conversation was hushed, Wendy and Chloe still overheard it.
Wendy clenched her teeth, the smirk on Chloe's face filled her with humiliation and anger.
Her breathing became heavy due to her anger. She couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to confront the sales associates.
The sales associates were intimidated by her and took a few steps back, eyeing her warily.
At that moment, Elizabeth's voice rang out.
"I'll take this suit, wrap it up for me."
Wendy's anger deflated instantly, her urge to lash out diminished.
Elizabeth turned her head to look at her, a questioning look in her eyes, "Wendy, what's wrong?"
Wendy forced a smile, "Nothing! Elizabeth, have you picked out clothes for Royce Harper yet?"
As she spoke, she walked towards Elizabeth.
Elizabeth nodded, a genuine smile on her face.
"Yes, I've picked them... this suit."
Elizabeth pointed to a suit in front of her.
Wendy forced a smile, looked up, and her face froze.
The suit Elizabeth pointed at was a bright blue, with an unnecessary silver octagonal pendant on the collar.
The color, the unnecessary pendant.
It was all t
oo flashy!
How could such a vibrant color suit the serious and reserved Royce?
"Elizabeth...are you sure about this suit?"
Wendy couldn't help but question, how could she have chosen this?
Elizabeth was admiring the suit, and she was so pleased with it.
Hearing Wendy's doubtful voice, she turned to look at her and nodded firmly, "Yes, isn't it nice?"
Thinking about what Chloe had told Elizabeth at the beginning, she quickly shook her head, "No, it's very nice."
Elizabeth smiled even brighter.
At that moment, a sales associate ran over, confirmed the size, and quickly left after saying, "Please wait."
When she saw a group of colleagues laughing behind her back, she smirked, winked at them, and left, stifling a laugh.
Wendy, suppressing her anger, forced another smile at Elizabeth,
"Elizabeth, I remember when the designer was taking measurements for Royce, Damon, and Nathan, wasn't Royce's size different?"
"Oh, that's because I've taken good care of him over the years...he's gained a lot of weight...his size has changed."
Elizabeth stopped midway, realizing that her tone was off. She adjusted her expression and became serious.
Wendy looked at Elizabeth suspiciously. At that moment, a store associate came out and told Chloe, "The shirt is ready."
