The store clerk mentioned the price. Penelope almost knelt down when she heard it.
Warren walked to her and said, “Try another one.”
“That’s what I was thinking!” Penelope quickly turned back and rushed towards the dressing room.
OMG, did she mess with the dress when she tried it on?
Five digits, she can’t afford to pay for that.
Penelope thought that she would buy a not-so-nice one. If it is not as nice as the one she had tried, it should not be as expensive.
It’s not good to go out empty-handed, especially if the store clerk is so enthusiastic, she thought.
However, she didn’t know why they happened to come into this store. Actually, each of the clothes has a good design, especially those clothes handed to her earlier!
“How about this one? The waist is closed, if you wear it, nobody will see your baby bump. The shopping guide stood behind her with a smile. It seems that she is not afraid that Penelope will not buy anything.
Penelope sighed and went to ask Warren, “Why did you bring me here? Do you want me to choose something for you?”
He put down the magazine and raised his eyebrows, waiting for her to finish her guessing.
“You want to lend me money to buy clothes, and then I will owe you the favor and must help you to do something.”
Penelope imagined a big drama in her brain. She even secretly thought that maybe it was related to Katherine, and Warren wanted her to help him get rid of Katherine.
He lifted the corner of his mouth, opened his wallet, and took out his credit card. He told the store clerk, “Pick up all the clothes she just tried and pay with this card.”
“Okay!” The store clerk beamed and immediately took over.
Penelope seems to have won the lottery.
She pulled Warren aside to hide from the eyes of others and stood in the corner. She said, “I won’t commit murder and arson! To cheat or scare others is my baseline.”
“What?”
“Even if you want me to tell Miss Foster that the baby in my stomach is yours, you don’t need to buy me such expensive clothes! In fact, you can absolutely buy just one!” Penelope explained.
He looked at her like he was looking at a late-stage brain cancer patient.
“What happened?”
He reached out to touch her head and said, “Was your head also hit when the ball hit you in the nose?”
“What?”
“I don’t need your help, rest assured. It’s not a deal.”
Penelope rolled her eyes. Then she grabbed her collar with both hands and took a step back. “Do you want to have more than a friendship with me?”
“Put your unrealistic fantasies away. I just pity you that you don’t have clothes to wear. Why do you think so much?” He gave her a clout on her head with a blank look.
Penelope buried her head in her hands, watching him leave angrily.
So, he really just wanted to be nice to her?
What she imagined just now… is so funny.
There was a time when nice people in the world made others unconsciously move to tears.
Although there are new clothes, a lot of new clothes, what’s more, a lot of famous brand-new clothes, which is an ecstatic thing, they didn’t come from her hard-earned money, so she is a little scared.
Warren usually makes charitable contributions, but she never thought she would really become one of his charity cases.
Penelope called Asher and asked anxiously, “Your uncle bought me many famous brands of clothes. What should I do?”
Asher asked doubtfully, “Why did he buy you clothes?”
“He said my clothes are too raunchy…”
Asher burst into laughter. “That’s true.”
“I’ll hang up.”
“No, no! Hold on! I won’t pull your leg. I promise to talk to you seriously.”
“Say it.”
“My uncle has always loved to do charity. You know that, right?”
“I know.”
“As far as I know, most of his funding is for children who are out of school or lost their parents. But, seriously, your previous experiences are more miserable than those of those children. Can he pretend not to see? Sometimes I feel sorry for you.”
Penelope does not know how to reply. Damn it! Is she so miserable?
Although she may be miserable, she does not want anyone to say she is miserable.
“My uncle has always been a generous person. You are living in his house now. He will definitely care for you. So don’t worry about it anymore.
“Really?” asked Penelope with a skeptical tone. “Is this true for all poor women?”
“I think this issue is a little excessive. Aren’t you asking me why my uncle bought you clothes? How can you now expand it into all the poor women?” Asher frowned. “Hey, don’t you actually have a crush on him?”
Penelope turned around and looked at the bags of clothes at the foot of the bed. Then, she said, “Rest assured. I’m not that blind.”
“Oh, don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean you don’t deserve him. The key is that our situation is a bit complicated!”
“You really don’t have to worry. I just… appreciate him.”
“Simply give a verbal thank you, don’t take it to heart.”
“Okay!”
She understood Asher’s words. Thanks were just thanks, but do not let this kind of gratitude turn into other feelings.
Asher said, “I’ll come back soon. You’ll have to stay for a month.”
“Please come back earlier. Or I won’t be able to board a plane with such a big stomach.”
“Well, I won’t forget your help. Why don’t you let me be your child’s godfather?”
“What? You want to be his godfather?” Penelope can’t help but bite her finger.
“Can’t I?!” Asher asked, pounding the table. “Does a godfather with money and taste bring disgrace to him?”
“No…” Penelope swallowed hard. She didn’t want to blow his mind. “Okay, okay. Let’s talk about it later.”
“I will give myself the title anyway. Afterward, I’ll take care of the cost of his formula.”
“Oh, that would be good.”
“You are really money-oriented! I think it’s time to sleep.”
“See you.”
“See you.”
