Chapter 2280: Chapter 2284

After receiving the photos from the photographer, Karina uploaded them to social media but restricted the visibility so only Barlow could see the post.

She had a specific reason for not thwarting Jack’s ploy earlier.

She wanted to provoke some jealousy in Barlow, hoping he would reveal his true identity to her.

“What are you up to, being so secretive?” Rosalynn approached, noticing Karina’s mischievous grin.

“Just playing around with someone,” Karina responded, pocketing her phone with a sly smile.

“The New Year is approaching, and I’m free today.

How about we go shopping for New Year’s gifts?’

Now that filming was complete, Karina was looking forward to some downtime.

“Sounds good, I need to pick up some gifts too,” Rosalynn responded cheerfully.

“Let’s go then.

Should we see if Tilda wants to come along?”

Rosalynn suggested, spotting Tilda nearby.

“Sure, the more the merrier,” Karina replied cheerfully.

They approached Tilda.

“We’re heading out to buy some New Year’s gifts, want to join us?” Karina asked.

“Okay,” Tilda responded promptly, agreeing without hesitation.

It was customary to buy New Year’s gifts during this season.

Tilda hadn’t yet purchased new clothes for Sheldon for the New Year.

Now that she had some time today, she wanted to do some shopping.

“I’ll see if Maggie wants to join us,” Rosalynn said, and promptly sent Maggie a message.

Maggie quickly agreed, clearly excited.

As they were about to leave, Karina teased Rosalynn, clutching her arm, “Tsk, how does it feel to be adored and to have so many beauties by your side?”

“Are you jealous?” Rosalynn joked.

Karina let out a sigh.

“Yes, I miss when it was just us.

What’s going on with you? You’ve turned into quite the social butterfly!”

Rosalynn burst into laughter.

“Even if I’m a social butterfly, I still care about you the most.

”

Karina playfully replied, “Haha, sweet words.

Tilda, do you believe her?”

Tilda responded with a smile, “Of course, I believe that.

Karina, I’m actually quite envious of you.

”

Tilda had few friends growing up, and after having her child, she intentionally distanced herself from even those few.
