Chapter 327 Hating Bianca Even More
"No, this isn't genuine. I bought a bootleg." Bianca took a few steps backward. She was not too fond of being so close to strangers.
She did not expect that her scarf was a luxury brand.
Luke had given her a scarf when she was cold. The woolen scarf was light and warm, and the material was gentle on the skin. Her neck was protected from the cold when she wore the scarf, and she had accepted it.
If she had known that the scarf was so expensive, she would not have accepted it.
Xavier's cousin pouted. "I thought so. Look, all your other clothes are so cheap, so how could you afford a genuine item? Hermes is the king in the kingdom of fashion. Even I, a frequent shopper in luxury fashion stores, could not even buy it, so how could you?" "Watch your words, Melissa!" Xavier's tone of voice instantly becstern.
The short-haired woman sheepishly shut her mouth, though she mumbled," Hmph, stupid cousin. How dare you bully me? I'll tell Uncle and Auntie when I get hlater..."
Xavier ignored her. His eyes were transfixed on Bianca.
When Melissa unfurled Bianca's scarf earlier, she could clearly see a love bite on Bianca's neck.
His eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he nearly could not control his emotions.
Xavier knew that Luke had left that love bite on Bianca's neck, and that mark reminded him that the woman was no longer his.
However, he could not let her go just like that.
The sensation was pure agony.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBianca frowned when she saw how dejected Xavier was. She wanted to walk around him and toward the shopping mall entrance, i
Xavier grabbed her hand. "Can I say a few more words to you, Bianca?" "There is nothing between us, Xavier. We don't have anything more to say between us. Let's not meet each other. Even if we do, we'll treat each other as strangers.
"You should know that Luke is very possessive. He doesn't have a good temper, and I don't want you to anger him again," Bianca said.
"Did Luke promise that he'll take you as his wife, Bianca? Did he say when you'll get your marriage certificate? A man's promise is like a passing gust of wind. You cannot believe what he says before he proves himself with actions. Don't be deceived by him," Xavier advised.
"So what? I don't mind it if he deceives me." Bianca smiled.
Even though she was dressed in woolen clothes, the curves on her body could be seen.
Xavier lowered his head dejectedly.
'This woman must be mad. She doesn't mind Luke deceiving her.'
He knew that he was in no position to give her any advice, but he was not going to take it lying down.
"Is there anything else, Mr. Tanner?" Bianca asked, "If there’s nothing else, then I'll take my leave." "I've never wanted to hurt you that way, Bianca. I apologize for what I've done to you. Can you forgive me?"
He had used underhanded tactics to obtain her because he wanted her too much, not expecting that everything he did had hurt her and made her fear him.
"It's all water under the bridge now."
Until now, Bianca could not understand why Xavier was so stubborn.
If she could not understand it, then there was no point in struggling for an explanation. After all, she was only an insignificant episode in his life.
He might have caused her a lot of trouble, but that was all in the past.
The atmosphere in the parking lot becawkward. Neither of them knew what to say.
Bianca sighed. "I'll be leaving."
Xavier watched as Bianca's delicate body walked away. It was until very long later when Melissa stepped into his field of vision angrily.
She crossed her arms and said mockingly, "She's already gone, Xavier. Why are you still so attached to her? You have bad taste in women. I was wondering if the woman you love would be ssort of diva, but she's just so-so. Why, have your tastes changed? But don't you think that the woman is as plain as she can be? Those materialistic types are a da dozen..." "Get lost!" Xavier was already in a bad mood, which was exacerbated by what the short-haired woman said.
He shoved her away and went into the car.
Melissa frantically slammed the car door. "Where are you going, Xavier?
Auntie Lacey said that you have to go to the mall withto buy sclothes. How can you leave me here? Get out..."
Xavier ignored her. He started the engine and quickly drove out of the parking lot.
Melissa stomped her foot in anger.
In her heart, she cursed Xavier ten thousand times, but she was not going to leave without buying anything.
She took out her phone and dialed a number while trying hard not to lose her temper. "Yancy? It's me. I'm back in the country. Cquickly to XX Mall. I'll buy you two outfits. Just get over here as quickly as you can!"
Sue was feeling bored, and she went to play under the Christmas tree with several children. She saw Bianca walking in, her face all red from the cold.
They went to a cafe nearby, and Sue bought two large vanilla milk teas to go. One was for Bianca, and the other was for herself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBianca felt warmer when she held the piping hot tea in her hands. "Thank you, Sue." "I hope Xavier didn't give you a difficult time?"
To Sue, Xavier was nothing more than a hooligan.
Xavier knew that Bianca was the woman Luke loved, but he tried to snatch her away from Luke and had done so many bad things to Bianca. Sue did not have a good impression of him.
"No. We're only strangers now."
Bianca took a sip of the milk tea. "This is the best drink for cold weather.
Mmm, this is delicious. You're so kind, Sue. I'd marry you if I were a man!"
Sue chuckled when she heard Bianca's childish words.
Bianca was a totally different person from the talented and serious designer in the office.
Sue brought Bianca into the mall. "Let's go and shop for sclothes. You should buy a few more for your everyday wear. I always see you wearing the sfew outfits..." "I only need an evening gown. I don't want to buy anything else," Bianca said.
"What shall I do about you? We're not in olden times when resources are scarce, and each item of clothing has to last for years. You're a woman, and you should learn how to dress up. Look at our department lead. She goes to work in a new outfit every day. You might be beautiful, but you also need to learn how to present yourself. Careful that the boss is seduced by another woman," Sue rambled on, trying to change Bianca’s mind.
Bianca smiled. If Luke were that kind of a man, she would not have been together with him.
The two women walked around the mall and found a luxury fashion store that held an extensive selection of evening gowns. They went inside.
Bianca found a beautiful blue gown that she liked.
Her fingers ran over the soft material. Just when she was about to take it, another hand took the gown at the stime.
Bianca looked at the owner of that hand. Unexpectedly, it was Leia Norman
