Chapter 61


    Upon seeing this, Cindy shot me a guilty look. "I''m sorry, Nance. We didn''t mean to take from you. Bruce just wanted me to try it out. If you like it, I... I


    won''t try it on.”


    She lowered her head, and tears began to form in her eyes.


    Meanwhile, Kate remained silent throughout.


    Feeling the slight pain in my ankle, I couldn''t help but furrow my brow at Dous. "It''s a bit tight around the waist and doesn''t feelfortable to


    wear.”


    I was speaking the truth, but I was also hinting at him to let this matter go


    Dous paused. "Then let''s look around a little more.”


    With thispromise, the farce ended.


    As we left the store, I heard Cindy whining from behind, "I have plenty of clothes. Don''t waste your money, Bruce. Pick something for Aunt Kate."


    She was acting like an understanding woman. No wonder Bruce was willing to please her even when it meant taking a blow on his reputation.


    After the incident, none of us felt like continuing to shop.


    Then, when Jackson saw the many bags that Jackson was carrying, he insisted on giving him a ride.


    After getting out of the car, Jackson looked despondent and hesitated before asking, "Nance, are you still in contact with the Harold family?”


    It seemed like he''d recognized Kate even though they''d only met once.


    But Kate clearly had no impression of him.


    I didn''t want to worry Jackson and lied, saying, "Not really."


    "Is that so?" Jackson obviously didn''t believe me.


    So, I quickly forced a smile. “Don''t worry. I know what I''m doing."


    Jackson didn''t say much more after that. But before leaving, I noticed the anxiety and unease hidden in his gaze.


    Suddenly, I felt like a jerk.


    When the car arrived at the residential area, Dous unexpectedly stopped in front of the pharmacy. "Give me five minutes."


    He then hurriedly got out of the car without an exnation.


    Then, when he returned, he was holding a bottle of anti-inmmatory medication.


    He handed them to me. "You should apply some.” He was looking at my ankle with concern as he spoke.


    I didn''t know when he''d noticed my


    injury. After all, I''d keptit a secretto


    avoid worrying Jackson. Not ta">


    mention, I was also wearing pants


    longenough to cover the short


    beats.


    -


    I softly thanked Dous, embarrassed to roll up my pants in front of him


    However, Dous didn''t notice this, and when he saw my hesitation, he leaned over and lifted the cuffs of my pants.


    His expression froze. “How did you manage to endure it until now?"


    Looking down, I saw that my ankle had dramatically swollen.


    I coughed awkwardly. "I''m almost home. I''ll take care of it myself."


    Dous paused for a moment before sighing. Then, he brought me back to my ce and patiently helped me to the door.


    "You shouldice itand apply the ~~

    around-too much," he reminded me.

    Dous was considerate enough not toe in, and his gentlemanly disy left a good impression on me.


    10 minutester, I sat on the couch icing my ankle and doing some work.


    Then, when I refreshed my Facebook feed, I unintentionally saw Cindy''s post.


    "I felt like a princess surrounded by her loved ones."

    It seemed that Bruce had indeed bought the coat for Cindy.
