A while later, they continued walking.
After roaming around for the entire day, I felt exhausted. Usually, I preferred lounging at home. That was why I enjoyed painting and activities like that. Usually, when I was out with Christopher, he would bring me to a café to rest or drive home the minute I said that I was tired. However, that pretty lady was very energetic and was still in high spirits after walking for so long.
I glanced at Sabrina, who had bought a lot of things from the market and was eating happily. Thinking about how I was weaker than a pregnant woman, I suddenly thought that I was quite useless.
“Sabby, do you remember what we’re here for?”
“To shop! Although I’ve grown up in Avenport, I didn’t know that there is so much good food here that I don’t know about. Christopher’s amazing. As expected of my idol!”
Indeed, she has forgotten about it. I sighed deeply. When I saw Christopher and the lady sitting in a shop and preparing to order something to eat, I could not hold myself back anymore. I dragged myself there tiredly, sat beside him and called out to the owner, “I’d like some fresh oysters and lobster with lemon butter sauce.”
When I caught the lady and Christopher staring at me, I pretended to stay calm. Taking a leaf out of Crystal’s book, I said cutely, “What a coincidence to meet you here! Hello, I’m Chris’ wife. You must be his friend! I’ve heard him mention you multiple times. As expected you’re a really gorgeous and elegant lady. Sorry for this sudden interruption!”
Christopher was stunned by the way I was speaking. Smiling, he pulled me back and instructed, “Speak normally!”
“I’m so tired, Chris. Can I lean against you and rest for a while? I’ll agree to one of your requests, okay?” I continued acting cute. However, I started criticizing myself secretly. Why do I sound so weird? Even I’m disgusted with myself! No wonder he looks so grim.
He was immediately convinced by what I said. Pulling me into his arms, he said seriously, “You mustn’t go back on your words!”
When I looked at the pretty lady, who was still smiling happily, I suddenly felt like I have just sold myself. Meanwhile, Sabrina was staring at me like I was a fool.
“Haha!” When the lady noticed our interaction, she laughed. Her laughter was crisp and melodious. “Mr. Lane, I can tell how loving both of you are from how you interact with each other. It’s getting late, so I shouldn’t interrupt both of you anymore. I’ll go back now. Remember to come for our date tomorrow. After all, I promised Mrs. Lane that I’ll stay here for three days. I’m a woman who keeps my promises!”
“Sure, I’ll pick you up at the hotel tomorrow.”
What the heck? Why are they talking about their date in front of me, as if I don’t exist? I pinched Christopher’s waist forcefully.
When the lady noticed what I was doing, her smile widened. She moved closer and said to me, “You’re Chris’ lover, right? Be careful. I’ve known Chris for many years. Mrs. Lane has specially invited me over!”
“Do you want to be my love rival? I won’t admit defeat! Chris and I are bound to each other for eternity. Our love will persist even after our deaths! You should give up soon.” I defended my position firmly and snuggled into Christopher’s embrace. To prove that she had no chances of succeeding, I stuck out my chest and declared solemnly, “My breasts are much bigger than yours.”
“Hahaha!” The lady laughed even louder now as a wide grin spread across her pretty face. “I finally understood why you love her so much, Chris. Even I’m starting to like her.”
