Chapter 1018
Vicky nodded and was about to leave when Aurora called out, âYour fiance left, and so did mine. Why
donât we go out and shop together?â
Vicky stilled and turned to look at her. âThe two of us?â
âYeah. Is there a problem?â
âAre you sure you want to go shopping with me?â
Realization dawned on Aurora. She asked with a smile, âWhy canât we go shopping together? You have
a fiance and Tyler has started a new life as well. Since the past is behind us, thereâs no reason for us to
avoid each other.â Aurora seemed carefree. âIâm not against people becoming friends after they break
up. There wonât be any misunderstanding so long as everyone stays in line, right?â She paused and
shot Vicky a half-smile before continuing, âSince youâre getting married soon, you must have gotten
past Tyler already. So⦠you wouldnât mind that, would you?â
Vicky was suddenly at a loss for words.
She did not want to go shopping with Aurora, but if she declined, Aurora would think that she still had
feelings for Tyler. 2
What she felt toward Tyler was irrelevant, and the thing that terrified her most was the fact that she had
accidentally found herself in bed with Tyler the night before.
Before Vicky could say anything, Aurora reached out and took her arm. âLetâs go. Since we are both
alone, we might as well go together to avoid being lonely.â Aurora smiled as if she were linking arms
with her best friend. âI misunderstood you about what happened before. If youâre still upset with my
past attitude toward you, I can apologize.â
Auroraâs sudden change in attitude made Vicky feel somewhat uneasy.
Vicky was close with Cece and Jennifer as well, but they rarely walked around linking arms like sisters
because that sort of behavior was against Vickyâs personality.
âThereâs no need for an apology, butâ¦â she muttered.
Vicky knew that her divorce from Tyler had little to do with Aurora, and Tyler probably treated Aurora as
a tool for revenge against Vicky.
Before she could refuse, Aurora interjected, âLetâs go shopping, then.â
In the end, Aurora forcefully pulled Vicky out of the bridal shop. âHow about we go to the jewelry store?
Since weâre getting married, we canât be without jewelry, can we? I still need a few necklaces and
earrings to match my wedding gown.â
Once they arrived at the jewelry store, Aurora eagerly started selecting items.
The staff noticed Vicky and Auroraâs refined demeanor and enthusiastically gathered around them.
âThis necklace, and that one, the one in the top left corner⦠Yes, take them out for me to try on.â
After trying different jewelry on, Aurora felt satisfied and said without hesitation, âWrap these up for me.
Oh, and bring out those earrings for me to try as well.â
The staff could not help being delighted by how Aurora made her purchases without batting an eyelid. It
was extremely difficult for them to stop grinning from ear to ear.
After selecting a few more items, Aurora noticed that Vicky had been standing to the side the whole
time.
âVicky, why arenât you getting anything? Donât you need these jewelry pieces for your wedding too?â
Vicky and Elijah were getting married soon. Coupled with Auroraâs assumption about what had
happened between her and Elijah last night, it seemed that Aurora had completely let go of any
concerns she had for Vicky.
Aurora had let go of all formality and started addressing Vicky by her name. From othersâ perspectives,
it would seem that they were besties.
Studying Auroraâs smiling face, Vicky casually made up an excuse and said, âThese pieces donât really
suit me.â
