When Wendy heard the word "stranger", she involuntarily gritted her teeth.
Chloe looked up at her, with a smile that wasn't exactly a smile.
Wendy managed an awkward laugh, but it only made her feel even more uncomfortable.
Elizabeth snapped, "Even though it's true, he's my husband! I said I was going to pay, but then you said she paid. So, who exactly bought it?"
The salesperson hesitated, "Of course, you did..."
Elizabeth shot Chloe a fierce look and snorted coldly.
Chloe hurriedly said, "Mom, I didn't think much about it..."
Elizabeth said, "Not thinking much doesn't mean others won’t care. My husband is good-looking. I've spent a lot of time dealing with women who have ill intentions. Even now, when I'm old, it's still the same. And there are still young and beautiful women who approach him. I'm really tired... Wendy, you see how hard my life is, right?"
After saying this, Elizabeth grabbed Wendy's hand looking for comfort.
Wendy didn't know what expression to make.
Elizabeth was clearly mocking her, and now she was seeking comfort from her? What was this all about?
Was Elizabeth’s life hard?
She couldn't adjust to life in the Harper family, and Royce took her away for many years.
She came back every few years, then left again whenever she felt uncomfortable.
She might be the most envied and free person in the world!
If this was called hardship, then how were others supposed to survive?
Wendy said, "Elizabeth, Royce still cares about you after all these years... Chloe just said she didn't think much about it..."
Now she had to speak for Chloe. After all, she almost paid for Elizabeth just now.
Elizabeth sighed, "Ah, Wendy, you're right. I'm too sensitive..." After saying that, she turned to Chloe and her tone softened, "I'm sorry, Chloe. I'm being too sensitive. But from now on, let me handle this. I don't like other women buying clothes for my husband. It's not good for your reputation as well. Do you understand?"
Chloe clutched her purse tightly, struggling to stifle her laughter.
So much drama!
But on her face, she put on a look of enlightenment and spoke softly.
"Mom, you're right. I won't do this kind of thing again."
