In front of the department store. 1
Linda Chen's svelte figure attracted the attention of quite a few men. In just a few minutes, there were
already three men who approached her.
She wore a floral print T-shirt, a white blazer thrown over her shoulders, and the pleated white miniskirt
she wore exposed her long legs. Who knew how many men she had stunned with that appearance?
She was Yvonne's old classmate and a close friend. When she spotted Yvonne walking toward her
from a distance with a man by her side, she was so surprised that she gaped a little.
Yvonne had been married for three years. She had only seen that legendary husband of hers once
during the wedding. Yvonne actually brought him along today.
Was something wrong with her eyes? 1
"What’s up? What are you so surprised about?” Yvonne asked Linda with a smile on her face when she
got closer.
Linda pulled Yvonne to one side. "Yvonne, I'm not going blind, am I?" she whispered, "This is the
infamous Samuel Hannigan."
Even if one had never seen Samuel Hannigan's
appearance, one would have at least heard of his name in Cloud City. This was because the incident
that happened three years ago rocked the entire city. Besides, with Harvey fanning the flames on
purpose, even regular folk knew about it.
"Mmhmm," Yvonne hummed, nodding her head.
Linda was even more taken aback when she got Yvonne's confirmation. That year, Yvonne had been
full of resentment toward her marriage; she even harbored bitterness inside her for Yvonne. Although
three years had passed, the incident was still treated a s a joke whenever someone brought it up, just
like how it had been then.
"Are you nuts? Why did you bring him out?" Linda said, shaking her head.
Yvonne knew that her friend cared a lot for her, but the reality was that Samuel was her husband.
Anyway, after examining her feelings, Yvonne thought that she should truly allow Samuel into her life.
"I'm not crazy," Yvonne replied, "You'll be seeing him more frequently from now on."
"Y-You...It can’t be that...you've accepted him?” Linda looked as if she just heard a ghost story, her
expression stricken with terror. She would see him frequently. Did that mean that Yvonne was going to
bring him along frequently?
Yvonne bobbed her head without hesitation. "I've not fully accepted him," she said before continuing, Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
"but
I'm trying."
Linda rolled her eyes. She wanted to say more about the matter, but she swallowed her words.
"Whatever makes you happy. You're my best friend, after all," Linda reassured.
Her gaze sidled toward Samuel. She discovered, to her surprise, that if one discounted his position as
a married man, he did not look half-bad. At least he was pretty good looking and had a charismatic
presence. It was a pity that his reputation was rotten. 1
After the three entered the department store, the two women went into shopping mode. It did not matter
if they bought anything or not; they hopped from store t o store, trying on the clothes that looked
appealing to them at least once.
Samuel was also very patient. It was his first time accompanying Yvonne while she shopped, after all.
To him, the feeling was pretty good.
Every time Linda tried on something revealing, she would deliberately flash a glance toward Samuel.
She had plenty of confidence in her figure and her face, and would always be approached whenever
she stepped out of the house. Men were primarily visual creatures. From her point of view, Samuel was
no exception to this.
However, after trying that a few times, Linda found that Samuel would only smile whenever Yvonne
changed into something. He did not even bat an
eyelash at her.
He could not have been blind, right? Was he really not the least bit interested in her?
Linda did not believe that. She changed into a particularly revealing set of clothes on purpose, which
practically exposed her entire body. She even walked right in front of Samuel.
"What do you think? Is it nice?" Linda Chen asked.
Samuel scanned her from top to toe. She did have a good figure. "It looks good," he said.
As soon as he said that, he reverted his attention to Yvonne, not lingering on her for a moment more.
Linda questioned her understanding of men. There was not a hint of desire in Samuel's eyes; they
were crystal clear. This was not something that one could disguise.
Linda then concluded that Samuel definitely suffered from face blindness. In his eyes, there was no
distinction between beauty nor ugliness.
At this moment, a couple walked into the shop. The woman was dressed elegantly, whereas the man
was plump and fleshy. A thick gold chain hung around his neck, practically screaming 'nouveau riche'.
