The next day.
With dark circles under her eyes, Charlotte was rushing to get ready.
"Sheryl, stay with the nanny and be a good girl!" Seeing Charlotte hurry out of the house, Sheryl sighed and shook her head while drinking her milk at the dining table.
"Auntie, my mommy is so absent-minded and clueless, will men like her?" The nanny, who was sweeping the floor, was shocked by Sheryl's words. For a moment, she couldn't answer.
After Sheryl finished her milk, she moved from the dining table to the living room. She picked up the handset of the landline phone and skillfully keyed in a series of numbers.
It didn't take long for the call to get through.
"Hello?" "Aunt Jane? I'm Sheryl." "Sheryl? What's the matter? Is there anything wrong?" Sheryl glanced at the calendar on the wall.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It's mommy's birthday today. I want to buy her a cake. Can you takeout to get one?" Anne subconsciously looked at the date on the computer. Sure enough, it was Charlotte's birthday. Without a second thought, Anne agreed.
Anne brought Sheryl to a large shopping mall below her office building where she could get anything she wanted.
"Aunt Jane, you can go back to work. I want to choose a nice cake for mommy myself." Having been educated abroad, Sheryl had been very independent since she was a child. Anne did not need to worry about her. Moreover, the good security measures in this mall would ensure her safety. So she agreed with Sheryl's idea. However, before she left, she still left Sheryl a note.
"This is my office's address. It's on the floor above the mall and the office phone number is written here. Remember to callwhen you're done." After Anne left, Sheryl began to stroll around. Looking at the pretty dresses displayed at the shop windows, Sheryl decided on a whim that besides buying a cake, she also wanted to buy mommy sbeautiful clothes.
She thought, 'I'm doing this because mommy doesn't know how to dress up. What if we find daddy and he thinks she isn't pretty enough?' Thinking of this, Sheryl was full of worry. She was really bearing a heavy responsibility! After shopping for a while, Sheryl stopped in front of a particular clothing store.
Behind the display window, a jade-coloured sleeveless dress attracted her attention. "Mommy will definitely look good in this." Sheryl nodded with approval and walked in.
Since she was only a four-year-old child, no one paid attention to her.
Meanwhile, speople entered the store behind her and drew the attention of all the shopkeepers.
"Shane, thank you for remembering my birthday," Yuliana said to Shane coyly.
And she kept inching closer to Shane.
However, a cold look from Shane intimidated her, and she did not dare to make any extra move. "Make your choice," as soon as he entered the store, Shane sat down and said without looking up.
If it weren't for Yuliana's birthday, he wouldn't have been here.
He only wanted to repay her for what she had done for him five years ago.
Seeing Shane's indifferent attitude, Yuliana felt disappointed, but she had to put on a smile regardless. She sashayed through the shop with a graceful smile on her face.
Under everyone's envious faze, she fiddled with the clothes with her fingers one by one and said to the attendant behind her, "This one... this one, and that one." "This as well..." "Miss, I want this." Just when Yuliana touched the jade-coloured dress, a tiny hand also happened to grab it.
Seeing the child, Yuliana furrowed her brows and looked at the attendant behind her with displeasure.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe attendant immediately got the hint and went forward to say, "Hi, little girl, did you get separated from your family?" "I chere on my own. Miss, I want this dress. Can you wrap it up for me?" Sheryl said with sincerity.
Upon hearing this, Yuliana could not help but feel amused.
"Do you have any money, you brat? This dress is very expensive." "This..." Hearing Yuliana's words, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Sheryl's small and delicate face.
"If you don't have enough money, release it. Don't ruin my dress m Yuliana took the opportunity to swat Sheryl's hand off the dress. Her slap was heavy, and a red mark quickly appeared on the back of Sheryl's fair little hand.
"You hit me!" Sheryl was in pain, and her eyes welled up with tears. But she held back the urge to cry.
Yuliana, who had always hated children, no longer cared about her public image.
"I sure did. Don't you know what kind of place this is? Haven't your parents taught you that this is not a place where anyone could enter?"
Seeing how arrogant and vicious Yuliana was, Sheryl felt aggrieved, Neither ery But she neither cry Yokmake a fuss. Instead, she blinked her big eyes and looked around. When she saw Shane, she suddenly had an idea. RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
