Chapter 27
Stephanie snorted, "ver had taste anyways, and I don't care if people know."
Besides, even if she ended up marrying Sebastian for real, their marriage would be a sham for sure.
Why should she care about his feelings?
Thinking about how he actually made her quit her job today, saying her working at a nightclub was a disgrace to him, Stephanie felt even more disgusted!
"Steph, you're going to be his fiancée soon, you can't act like before."
"Alright, Mom, I know what's best, don't worry so much."
"I've only got one daughter, who am I supposed to look after if not you?"
The mother and daughter duo strolled arm in arm, both carrying a bunch of shopping bags.
Suddenly, Marilyn's eyes lit up when she saw the dress a model was wearing in a luxury brand store's window display.
She loved the style, but remembering her bank account balance, Marilyn held back from going in with her daughter.
However, Stephanie noticed her mother's admiration and hurriedly pulled her into the store, saying, "Mom, this dress is so pretty, it'll make you look 10 years younger!"NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Her mother was naturally beautiful, and although she was getting older, her charm still remained.
Marilyn sighed, "Steph, don't bother... I'm too old to wear this, and besides, I'm always at the hospital, so I won't have a chance to wear it."
"Why not? Next time you meet your future son-in-law, you can dress up. Then you won't feel embarrassed." It was obvious her mom really liked the dress.
No woman could resist a pretty dress they liked, and her mother had only bought one piece of clothing during the shopping spree.
She didn't have to worry about her mother's illness with Sebastian around, and she had just gotten her paycheck, so why not give her mom a dress?
As long as she liked it and felt happy wearing it, that was all that mattered.
Marilyn whispered in her ear, "Steph, this store is pricey, the quality is good, but it's expensive. Let's forget it."
The store's employees saw the mother and daughter pair dressed humbly and whispered to each other, watching them eyeing the dress without end. They knew the duo couldn't afford anything in the store, so the employees' faces turned disdainful.
In luxury brand stores, employees would usually approach customers warmly and introduce the clothes' styles, materials, and designer names for the sake of their performance.
Yet, despite Stephanie and her mother being in the store for a while, no one came to serve them.
Marilyn was easy-going and didn't mind, but Stephanie had a bit of a temper.
Feeling looked down upon, her
temper flared up. She raised her chin and said to an employee who was looking at them with an air of superiority, "Can you get this dress for my mom to try on, please?" The employee sneered and replied, "Miss, this dress is one of our most important designs this year and it's not cheap... trying it on is fine, but if it's damaged during the process, you won't be able to afford it!"
Stephanie frowned, "Oh? If it's such an expensive dress, and it can be ruined just by trying it on, what's it even doing here?"
