Chapter 635
Spoiled (Lily)
The childrenâs clothing store grew increasingly crowded, and many people pretended to browse clothes while secretly eavesdropping on the conversation.
In the midst of it all, people took out their phones to take pictures.
Rainâs face turned red, and she wanted to deny it, but Lilly looked at her with an innocent and sincere gaze.
âI didnât lie⦠and I wonât deny itâ¦â Rain stammered, âI really wanted someone to help me remove the tag from my clothesâ¦â
Lilly was even more confused. âBut why do you need someone else to help? Couldnât you have just entered the fitting room and taken off the clothes yourself?â
Rain was speechless.
Damian smiled bitterly, âI couldnât believe it when Mr. MacNeil and Mr. Show showed me the screenshots of you flirting with themâ¦â
âYou were in lingerie and chatting with my two superiors late at night? Huhâ¦?â
âYou even shared photos! And you said you enjoyed being surrounded by multiple men!â
As Damian spoke, his anger grew.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Rainâs anger flared up, and she slapped Damian across the face!
âSlap!â
The slap left Damian stunned, and Lilly was equally shocked.
Rain yelled angrily, âDamian Gray! Are you even a man?!â
Damian also roared furiously, âAm I not a man? Should I just accept the fact that youâre cheating on me and continue to coax you without confronting you about it, to be considered a man? How dare you deny calling my superiors late at night, sharing videos, posting photos, and engaging in explicit conversations! Do you want me to show you the evidence?â
A commotion erupted around them, and everyone looked at Rain.
Rain blushed, desperately wanting to deny it, but when she caught sight of Blake leaning to the side with folded arms, his face turned cold and had no expression. He absentmindedly typed on his mobile phone. The intensity of his presence was terrifying as if any lie she told would be projected on a big screen in the next moment, amplifying the consequences.
Rain blushed and exclaimed with anger, âYes, I did say it, but I was just joking! I didnât actually do it!â
âI treat them as friends, so I casually chatted, joked, and made those comments! I never intended to act upon them!â
However, they exposed things she had not done in front of everyone. Wasnât that making her look bad?
While she may have been foolish, werenât they just as bad? They shared stories of her posting videos and photos in public, and their actions were even worse than her words!
Damian laughed indignantly, âDo you treat my leader your friend? You added my leader as a friend, but youâve only known them for five minutes, and yet you speak to them like this?â
With reddened eyes, Rain clenched their teeth and demanded, âApologize to me!â
Damian was completely taken aback, âYou expect me to apologize when you were the one in the wrong?â
Rain spoke up, âYes! I may have been foolish, but you exposed my private affairs to the public, turning me into a laughingstock! Thatâs worse than my foolish behavior. You are not being fair! Apologize to me today, and we can put this behind us. Weâll go our separate ways, and I wonât hold it against you, nor will you owe me anything in the future!â
Everyone was astonished.
What kind of distorted values and illogical reasoning was this?
Being unfaithful to her boyfriend, flirting with her boyfriendâs boss in the middle of the night.
They shared photos and videos and said things that disrupted common decency.
Now, she had turned around and demanded an apology from her boyfriend, simply because he told her what she did in publicâ¦
Lilly could not help but express her suspicion. âIs this lady in the right?â Lilly asked, her voice filled with doubt.
Blake replied, âNo, sheâs wrong.â
âWhen her scandal was exposed, she retaliated and demanded apologies from others. By claiming the moral high ground, she revealed her guilty conscience. Itâs called saving face. Have you heard of it?â
Lilly suddenly had a realization, exclaiming, âI have! Iâll tell Grandma that Iâve learned another phrase when I get back!â
Blake coughed, feeling less amused by the situation.
Observing the silence from others, Rain felt deeply disappointed. âMen, always bully women. Is that all youâre capable of? Acting politely to outsiders while attacking your own girlfriend like a thunderbolt.â
âMen make more mistakes. When a man cheats, itâs considered to join the ranks of all men in the world. But when a woman makes a mistake, sheâs labeled unfaithful and trash.â
Whatâs wrong with women being romantic and happy?
Of course, Rain didnât dare utter these words aloud.
âI merely spoke inappropriately, I was just joking, and didnât do anything. Youâre still my boyfriend, so itâs fine if you donât believe me, but publicly defaming me is uncalled for.â
âDamian Gray, I see right through you! You despicable man!â
Rain stormed back to the fitting room to change her clothes. When she emerged, she bumped into Damian with bitterness, making sure to take the items Damian had bought for her before leaving with her hands full.
Damian stood there motionless, a blank expression on his face.
Lilly asked, âDaddy, what idiom did she use just now?â
Blake responded calmly, âThatâs called hittingâ¦youâll understand when you grow up.â
Men and women were inherently two genders with contrasting characteristics, destined to have different ways of thinking, behaviors, and language.
However, those who exploit the differences between men and women to provoke conflicts had ill intentions.
Cheating was wrong, whether itâs done by men or women. There were despicable individuals among both genders.
Yet, Rainâs words about carried such convictionâ¦
âLetâs go,â said Blake as he lifted Lilly in his arms and walked away.
âOh, yeah,â Blake turned his head. âWould you like to take a few more days off?â
Damian shook his head. âNo, itâs not necessary.â
âI want to work overtime.â
Blake contemplated for a moment. âHmm⦠Alright. Iâll call you tonight.â
Eventually, they left.
Damian lowered his head and left on his own.
It was now time for Lillyâs shopping spree!
They entered a store, and Lilly joyfully tried on clothes.
Finally, she chose a princess dress. âUncle Anthony, Can I have this?â
Anthony nodded and proceeded to the cashier. âIâll buy everything she tried on.â
Lilly was astonished.
Blake raised an eyebrow. âCan you pay for everything Iâve tried on as well?.â
Anthonyâs mouth twitched. âWhat else would you like to try?â
Blake took it for granted. âMatching outfits! The two T-shirts I tried on earlier.â
Anthony was speechless.
