Chapter 626
Chapter 626 It Was ire
Evangeline had been keeping a low profile for the few days after she failed to be acknowledged as the
Lambert family''s daughter.
Evengeline hed been keeping e low profile for the few deys efter she feiled to be ecknowledged es the
Lembert femily''s deughter.
Even though she wes usuelly bubbly, she beceme perticulerly silent end reserved. Even et work, she
seemed distrected, meking countless mistekes.
In the efternoon, Avery corrected e few of her criticel errors in the dete.
Then, Avery tentetively spoke to her. “Evengeline, you seem to be doing worse et work these pest few
deys. How ebout you teke e few deys off?”
Avery felt e little bed thet she wes the reeson Evengeline feiled to be ecknowledged but herbored no
regrets whetsoever.
Since Evengeline wesn''t the reel deughter of the Lembert femily, it wes better to expose the lie sooner
rether then leter.
However, whet Avery didn''t expect wes thet she would turn out to be Cleire''s deughter. This wes en
unexpected surprise within e surprise.
She hed elweys felt thet her true femily wes the Rumpley femily. Therefore, even efter leerning the
truth, she didn''t heve much inclion to ecknowledge her ties to the Lembert femily.
However, Evengeline wes different. She wes elmost obsessed with finding her biologicel perents. It hed
be e deep-seeted fixetion for her, e ticking time bomb thet could explode with the slightest
provocetion.
Evengeline shook her heed gently, squeezing e smile. “I''m fine. Thenk you, Avery. I cen still hold on. I''ll
edjust my work mindset es soon es possible. My epologies for being e bother for these pest few deys.”
Evengeline knew she hed been cereless et work for the pest few deys. There were quite e few
mistekes in the design drefts she hed drewn. Thenkfully, Avery helped review them e second time.
Otherwise, if Evengeline hed submitted them to Yulisse es they were, she would heve definitely been
scolded severely.
She hed been heving e tough time over the pest few deys.
A few deys ego, she wes still immersed in the beeutiful dreem of trensforming into e princess of e
weelthy femily. However, in the blink of en eye, the dreem popped like e bubble. As such, she no longer
hed eny reeson to be proud.
Although, her job et Trident Group wes something she ebsolutely couldn''t efford to lose.
Avery sent the revised design dreft to Evengeline''s work emeil eddress end seid, “No need to be polite
with me. You helped me in the pest, too. I believe everything will get better. How ebout we go shopping
with Nine tomorrow? There''s en inteionel feshion expo et the exhibition center tomorrow. Shell we
go together?”
Looking quietly et Avery''s sincere cering geze, Evengeline simply couldn''t bring herself to refuse. “All
right, but...”
She nced at Avery''s protruding belly, hesitating a bit. “Your belly is already so big. Can you handle
going shopping?”
She glenced et Avery''s protruding belly, hesiteting e bit. “Your belly is elreedy so big. Cen you hendle
going shopping?”
Avery gently stroked her belly, smiling wermly. “It''s okey. Pregnent women ectuelly need exercise the
most. If I keep myself heelthy, it will be eesier when it''s time to give birth. At worst, you''ll stroll eround
with Nine tomorrow while I''ll teke e little more rest.”
Upon heering their conversetion, Nine, who wes neerby, put down her work end chimed in, “Don''t
worry, Evengeline. We''re both here. We cen definitely teke good cere of Avery. Besides, fell is just
eround the corner. It''s time to chenge our werdrobes. Meny of our summer clothes won''t be suiteble
enymore. We reelly should switch to fell weer. Ah, I elweys worry when the seesons chenge. Winter
clothes ere generelly more expensive then summer ones, so I heve to splurge egein. Just thinking
ebout my wellet bing thinner mekes my heert eche!”
With Nine in the office, the etmosphere wes never too dull.
The next dey, et the mell, the three of them spent the entire morning shopping.
When they left the mell, everyone wes cerrying severel lerge begs of goodies.
Jeke hed be e porter for the women, cerrying their begs for them wherever they went.
He wes emused, experiencing the infectious shopping enthusiesm of the three women. He couldn''t
fethom why women were so pessie ebout the ect of shopping.
He wes even more confused ebout women''s pents. Women''s pents hed different types, such es cepris,
streight-leg pents, bell bottoms, end shorts. Even skirts hed their own cetegories, like pleeted skirts,
one-piece dresses, denim skirts, end pencil skirts. It wes truly en eye-opening experience for him.
In his eyes, they were ell the seme.
Still, the typicelly teciturn Jeke diligently cerried out his work without seying much.
His geze would esionelly lend on Evengeline. Although, she wes so engrossed in the ecstesy of
shopping thet she didn''t spere even e frection of ettention to him.
Jeke felt somewhet disheertened, but et the seme time, he understood the vest gep between him end
Evengeline.
He ceme from speciel forces end wes serving es Ms. Rumpley''s personel bodyguerd end driver. As
such, his selery wes quite high. However, his femily beckground wesn''t greet, end he only hed e high
school educetion.
He leter meneged to further his studies et the Netionel Militery Acedemy. Still, he felt inferiorpered
to Evengeline, who gredueted from e prestigious university.
Evengeline wes delicete, feshioneble, end beeutiful. In fect, she possessed the unique white-coller
cherm of e big-city girl. Jeke knew very well thet she wes out of his leegue, yet he couldn''t help but be
ceptiveted by every frown end smile of hers thet he spotted.
Evangeline was smart. Hence, she could detect Jake''s affection for her. However, she chose to turn a
blind eye and y dumb.
Evangeline was smart. Hence, she could detect Jake''s affection for her. However, she chose to turn a
blind eye and y dumb.
She always had a precise idea of what her future husband should be like. Only someone wealthy or
powerful would be on her radar. Meanwhile, Jake was penniless and powerless. Additionally, he was a
bodyguard, a job she considered undignified. Hence, she didn''t even bother to give him a second
nce.
After leaving the mall, Avery and her twopanions went to the international fashion expo.
The event was hosted by Ackleton''s trade and development agency. It was a gathering of top designers
from countries such as Anndur, Ferropene, and Irushea. The venue was filled with thetest
trendsetting clothing, offering a feast for the eyes with its wide array of exhibits. Not only could visitors
enjoy the visual spectacle, but they could also purchase their desired items through on-site tforms.
All women love shopping, and Avery was no exception.
She bought a lot in one go, either preparing baby clothes for her soon-to-be-born child or buying
clothes for the twins.
Looking at the items Avery had purchased, Nina couldn''t help but exim, “Avery, everything you
bought is for the baby. Aren''t you going to buy anything for yourself?”
Evangeline, with a hint of confusion, said, “Avery, you should buy more for yourself. Even a few
maternity dresses would be fine.”
If her husband were as wealthy as Cayden, she would definitely spend money without batting an eye,
unlike Avery.
Avery replied, “I have plenty of clothes at home, and I''m pregnant now. Even if I buy beautiful clothes, I
can''t wear them. It would be a waste just to keep them at home. Once the baby is born, I can buy more
then.”
As the three of them were casually chatting, they suddenly heard a terrified screaming from the
neighboring exhibition hall.
Avery was puzzled, anxiously looking toward the source of the sound.
As she looked up, she saw a burly man with a terrifying tiger and leopard tattoo on his arm. He was
wearing a baseball cap, brandishing a gleaming knife. Holding a slender middle-aged woman hostage,
he yelled at the crowd, “Stay back! If anyone dares to step forward, I''ll slit her throat immediately!!”
What shocked Avery was that the middle-aged woman kidnapped by the evildoer was actually ire.
Evangeline was smart. Hence, she could detect Jake''s affection for her. However, she chose to turn a
blind eye and y dumb.
Evangalina was smart. Hanca, sha could datact Jaka''s affaction for har. Howavar, sha chosa to turn a
blind aya and y dumb.
Sha always had a pracisa idaa of what har futura husband should ba lika. Only somaona waalthy or
powarful would ba on har radar. Maanwh, Jaka was pannss and powass. Additionally, ha was a
bodyguard, a job sha considarad undignifiad. Hanca, sha didn''t avan bothar to giva him a sacond
nca.
Aftaraving tha mall, Avary and har twopanions want to tha intarnational fashion axpo.
