“I just think you look skinnier in black, and it doesn’t get dirty easily,” the woman tried to explain.
“I’m taking this. Miss… Check, please,” the middle-aged man glared at the woman coldly before pointing at the white shirt he was wearing and said.
Disappointed by her husband’s attitude, the woman sighed helplessly and put the black dress shirt back on the rack.
Xyla Quest peered at the middle-aged couple before holding Stanley Batton’s hand and leading him to the suit section. She picked a few light-colored suits according to her preference and compared them on Stanley’s body one by one.
Stanley stood beside her without making any complaints.
There was a startling contrast between the man’s attitude and Stanley’s…
The sales assistants could not help but exclaim in awe inwardly.
Xyla looked around the store and finally chose a mauve suit.
She took the suit and placed it around Stanley’s body while asking, “What about this one? Do you like it?”
Stanley remained glued to the floor, his eyes full of fondness for Xyla. “I’m fine with anything as long as you like it.”
“Do you like it then?” Xyla asked.
“My answer is still the same. Pick the one you like. I’m wearing it for you to see anyway,” Stanley reassured her.
Warmth spread in Xyla’s heart instantaneously. “But your opinion is important as well. You’re the one wearing it.”
“Hmm… I love everything my wife picks for me,” Stanley said without hesitation.
The middle-aged woman happened to overhear their lovey-dovey conversation.
Jealousy was written all over her face as she stared at Xyla.
Irritated by the unjust treatment, she turned to the middle-aged man and hissed furiously, “Look at the others and look at yourself!”
With that, she turned around and stalked out of the store grumpily.
The crabby middle-aged man rolled his eyes at her before taking the shopping bag from the cashier and catching up with her.
Xyla handed the suit she had chosen to the sales assistant. “I’m taking this. The size fits perfectly. Please wrap it up for me.”
