It was only then that Cedron noticed that Anna’s piece of under . Clothing was actually not worn properly.
On her bare, white back, the buttons of the lingerie were spread out, just waiting for him to help. The clasp of the jacket was spread out, just waiting for him to help.
He unconsciously pursed his thin lips, his tone full of rejection, “Why should I button it for you, wait for the clerk to come back.”
“The clerk doesn’t know when he’ll be back, you’re not going to let me stay like this, what if I catch a cold?” Anna said.
“Then change back to your own.” Cedron said.
Anna spread her hands with a face full of innocence, “I’m sorry to say, but my own one, too, was buttoned up for me by the maid when I was at home.”
After saying this, she once again urged Cedron, “Hurry up, I’m really cold, I’ve given you my child, you’re not so reluctant to even help me with this little favor, right?”
Cedron was dumbfounded and could only begin to fasten the clasp of Anna’s underwear.
His bony fingers skimmed over Anna’s back and suddenly touched a hard bump under the delicate skin.
Just by the feel of it, it was clear that it didn’t belong to the body originally.
“What do you have here?” Cedron asked.
Anna was breezy, “That ah, it’s an old disease I fell into before when I was all over the world seeking medical treatment for Amad, the bones were tired and deformed, so I simply replaced it with an artificial one, who knew that there was a bit of a problem after the surgery and it protruded partially.”
This was actually considered a surgical accident, requiring a second surgery.
Cedron’s eyes deepened a few points, “Why didn’t you go for a second repair surgery later?”
“How could I have the time,” Anna replied, “Amad had been sick at that time, I couldn’t take her to the doctor every day in time, it would be bad if I was hospitalized for another surgery and delayed Amad’s condition.”
After a pause, he added, “I can live a normal life anyway, it’s just a deformation, it’s acceptable.
At that time I kept thinking, how good it would be if you could show up, at least I wouldn’t have to suffer alone, now that you did show up but said you didn’t recognize me, I’m really worried that, after the divorce, this bone of mine will be completely wasted.”
Anna said while watching Cedron’s expression.
She wanted to watch Cedron break down, unable to pretend anymore, and admit the truth to himself.
But Cedron just spoke faintly, “Nowadays, medical technology is so advanced, even if your bone is ruined, you can still make a new one, as for the surgery fee I will pay for it, so don’t sell yourself short in front of me.”
Hearing this, Anna looked at Cedron with eyes full of incredulity, her voice couldn’t stop trembling, “You think I’m selling me short?”
“What else,” Cedron asked rhetorically, “It can’t be in the hope that I can feel sorry for you and just fall in love with you.”
With that, Cedron dropped both hands, “Well, put your coat on, catching a cold for the sake of deliberately selling out is not something I’m going to fall for.”
Anna was left alone again in the small fitting room.
She stared blankly at the cloth curtains in front of her that were still swaying slightly, and couldn’t help but cross doubts in the bottom of her eyes.
Was there something she didn’t do right?
By all rights, Cedron should be starting to show his hand.
Now instead of being able to find a break, it seemed to be pushing the two further apart.
Just as he was thinking about it, the salesman came back with the rest of the underwear. Clothes came back, flooded into the dressing room and began to serve Anna.
But Anna was no longer in the mood, and after casually trying on two pieces, she had all the lingerie packed away.
After changing back into her own clothes, Anna walked out of the dressing room.
Looking around, she realized that Alexis was the only one in the store.
“Where’s Cedron, gone?” Anna asked.
