Chapter 1020
A couple stood before a mannequin and the woman pointed at the dress on it with a smile. âWhat about
this one?â
The man glanced at it and said endearingly, âWe will buy it if you like it.â
âWeâve bought too many things. Are you still buying more?â The woman pouted.
âWe havenât bought a lot. We still havenât visited a few shops ahead.â
The woman glanced at him in displeasure. âItâs been a while since you came shopping with me.â
âIâve been busy, and you know that.â The man wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her on the
cheek. âDonât be mad. I will stay with you today, alright?â
The woman beamed. âPromise? You arenât allowed to leave.â
âDonât worry. I wonât go anywhere this time.â
Just as the two whispered sweet words into each otherâs ears, a womanâs voice sounded from behind
them.
âMister Harrisons?â
The man froze and turned around, paling when he saw Aurora. âM- Miss Starling?â
Aurora glanced at Elijah and then at the woman in his arms.â And who is thisâ¦?â
Elijah quickly let go of the woman, smiling awkwardly. âMiss Starling, are you also shopping here?â
Aurora smiled. âIâm not alone. Your fiancee is also here, Mister Harrisons.â With that, she looked at
Vicky who had a dark look on her face. It was not because she caught Elijah red-handed, but rather,
the fact that she was caught in this situation with Aurora.
Aurora already had some suspicions about her, and now that Aurora saw this scene, Vicky could not
predict what would happen next.
Elijah looked at Vicky, panicking. âVicky, you⦠youâre here too?â
Curiosity gleamed in Auroraâs eyes. âDidnât you say that you had urgent matters to attend to? Is thisâ¦
your so-called urgent matter?â
Elijahâs expression changed unpredictably.
Unable to avoid confrontation, Vicky had to speak up.â Elijah, who is she?â
âWell⦠she⦠sheâs a distant cousin of mine. Yeah⦠a distant cousin,â Elijah stammered.
Aurora pretended to be puzzled. âDo distant cousins need to hold each other like that and kiss?â
Elijahâs excuse was terribly feeble, so he was instantly
azrendered speechless by Aurora.
At that moment, the woman beside Elijah stepped forward. She carefully examined Vicky and suddenly
said, âSo, youâre Elijahâs fiance?â
The woman had a delicate and sweet appearance and was very charming. As Vicky studied her, she
could not help but associate her with the Blossom lineup wedding gown.
Vicky replied, âI am, and you are?â
The womanâs lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but then glanced at Elijah. Her expression
turned a bit gloomy and the words she wanted to say never came out. Tears welled in her eyes, and in
the end, she let go of Elijah and ran out of the clothing store.
Elijah hesitated for a moment, instinctively wanting to chase after her, but when he saw Vicky, he
hesitated.
The woman was running too fast and stumbled just as she ran out of the store.
Seeing this, Elijahâs hesitation was gone, and he immediately chased after her.
After a brief argument in front of the clothing store that attracted onlookers, Elijah managed to pull the
woman into a car. The two of them then disappeared from Vicky and Auroraâs sight.
Aurora had witnessed such situations many times before.
