Quinnie looked at Jonas with a wry smile as she listened to the information. A group of men in their thirties and forties were acting as childish as children as they compared this and that.
The key was that even their parents were delighted.
Eloise said, "Lilly mentioned me! She wished me a Merry Christmas and said that | would definitely have a smooth year.” Osmond chimed in, "Lilly mentioned me too! | will definitely prosper this year." Quinnie couldn't help but roll her eyes. It was as if their family had never prospered before.
"I'll take the child back to the room to feed him," Quinnie said. "You go and have your meal. You've worked hard." Every time they had a meal, they would eat first, and Jonas would always hold the child and coax him.
Jonas kissed Quinnie on the forehead and said, "I'll come up as soon as | finish eating." Grace, who was passing by, said, "Eww. | can't bear to watch!" Quinnie carried the baby and prepared to go upstairs. She also intended to take the cup from the table, but Grace helped her pick it up.
Quinnie was surprised and said, "You have time to help me today?" Grace replied casually, "I'm going upstairs too." Quinnie didn't expose her, and the two sisters went upstairs. Grace helped her put the cup in the room and said before leaving, "By the way, you can give her a cup.” Quinnie was stunned and asked, "Give who?" But Grace had already closed the door and left.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQuinnie finally realized that Grace suggested giving Lilly a cup! After thinking it over, Quinnie inexplicably felt that it made sense. Lilly didn't lack anything, so giving her a cup... seemed like a good idea.
A cup for a lifetime. It sounded nice.
A small gift with deep sentiment. If necessary, she could always give a bigger gift bag.
The next day, Jonas took Quinnie to a branded store to buy a cup before they returned.
On New Year's Eve, most shops were closed, but Jonas and Quinnie had made arrangements in advance.
While they were choosing, the baby started crying. Jonas checked and said, "I'll go change his diaper. You can take a look first.
I'l come and pay later." After saying that, he was afraid that Quinnie would feel uneasy, so he habitually kissed her forehead. After giving birth, her figure had changed, and she had always refused to go out. It was only today that she agreed to come out to choose a cup.
Quinnie looked around the store and saw that there was no one else. The anxiety in her heart eased a lot, and she said, "Hurry back, okay?" Jonas nodded.
Today, the store manager was personally waiting for them here. He said with a smile on his face, "Both of you are so loving!" She smiled and looked around. She spotted a light purple bottle with a plump body and a faint purple color. It was very delicate, neither mundane nor childish. It still maintained a lovable, girlish charm.
"This one looks nice, but why is it a straw bottle..." Quinnie thought that Lilly wouldn't need a straw bottle when she grew up.
However, the store manager said, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with a straw bottle. Many girls like it because it doesn't smudge their lipstick. And this is the best material. It's antibacterial, and the bottle is also a thermos, so even in a cold country, the water won't turn cold.” Quinnie nodded. "I'll take this one then." What she didn't notice was that a girl outside the shop secretly took several photos and then put away her phone before entering.
"Oh, isn't this Quinnie!" The beautiful girl covered her mouth while looking surprised. "Quinnie, how did you become like this? | almost didn't recognize you!" Quinnie felt a tightness in her heart. She felt embarrassed and awkward at being seen like this. It was like going out without washing her hair or putting on makeup and then running into her love rival.
Furthermore, the love rival was dressed beautifully...
Quinnie made a sound of agreement and turned uncomfortably to the store manager before saying, "I'll pay." However, the girl persisted. "Quinnie, what happened to you? | heard you got married. Is that true? And some of them said you married Jonas? Why hasn't Jonas made an official announcement? Oh! Could it be because you're too fat that Jonas doesn't want to show you off? How could he be like this?! Quinnie, did you have a baby? It's so amazing that you've become so fat after having a baby. I've seen others recover their abs within a month after giving birth. | thought everyone would become thin after having a baby!" Her words seemed concerned, but each one was sarcastic.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe girl's expression was also unfriendly.
She was a rising internet celebrity in the past two years. Her name was Aimee, and she was also known as Quinnie's alter ego.
Aimee not only had a similar appearance and facial structure to Quinnie, but even their names were homophones. She followed the same character setting as Quinnie.
However, her appearance was modeled after Quinnie.
In the early years, Aimee imitated the famous actress Quinnie and promoted herself as a new generation internet celebrity, "Quinnie's alter ego." Later, her fame somehow skyrocketed, especially after Quinnie semi-retired and her career reached its peak.
Once Aimee was popular, Quinnie became the scapegoat instead. Many marketing accounts were hyping up the fact that Quinnie had aged and had become a washed-up actress and overshadowed by the rising young actresses.
Adding to that, Quinnie had not shown her face for over a year, which made Aimee's fans even more arrogant. Every time Quinnie's fans appeared, they would criticize Quinnie's fans for riding on Aimee's popularity.
As the protagonist, Aimee naturally enjoyed seeing this happen. When she wasn't famous, being called "Quinnie's alter ego" was her pride, but now it was a shame.
Now, she particularly disliked it when people said she looked like Quinnie, and she hated that Quinnie had taken away the beloved Jonas.
Upon seeing Quinnie become so fat now, she couldn't be happier! Aimee smiled warmly and asked, "Quinnie, did you come out by yourself? Why isn't Jonas with you? | don't mean to criticize you.
I'm just genuinely concerned. Men are often attracted to youthful and attractive women, so you need to keep an eye on Josh!"
