Chapter 1020
A couple stood before a mannequin and the woman pointed at the dress on it with a smile. "What about this one?"
The man glanced at it and said endearingly, "We will buy it if you like it."
"We've bought too many things. Are you still buying more?" The woman pouted.
"We haven't bought a lot. We still haven't visited a few shops ahead."
The woman glanced at him in displeasure. "It's been a while since you came shopping with me."
"I've been busy, and you know that." The man wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her on the cheek.
"Don’t be mad. I will stay with you today, alright?"
The woman beamed. "Promise? You aren't allowed to leave."

Just as the two whispered sweet words into each other's ears, a woman's voice sounded from behind them.
"Mister Harrisons?"
The man froze and turned around, paling when he saw Aurora. "M- Miss Starling?"
Aurora glanced at Elijah and then at the woman in his arms." And who is this...?"
Elijah quickly let go of the woman, smiling awkwardly. "Miss Starling, are you also shopping here?"
Aurora smiled. "I'm not alone. Your fiancee is also here, Mister Harrisons." 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. "Vicky, you... you're here too?"
Curiosity gleamed in Aurora's eyes. "Didn't you say that you had urgent matters to attend to? Is this... your so-
called urgent matter?"
Elijah's expression changed unpredictably.
Unable to avoid confrontation, Vicky had to speak up." Elijah, who is she?"
"Well... she... she's a distant cousin of mine. Yeah... a distant cousin," Elijah stammered.
Aurora pretended to be puzzled. "Do distant cousins need to hold each other like that and kiss?"
Elijah's excuse was terribly feeble, so he was instantly
azrendered speechless by Aurora.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, the woman beside Elijah stepped forward. She carefully examined Vicky and suddenly said, "So,
you're Elijah's fiance?"
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, "I am, and you are?"
The woman's 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, Elijah's 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 Aurora's sight.
Aurora had witnessed such situations many times before.
