Standing outside a clothing store, Joslyn admired a beautiful dress in the shop window.


    “Wow, that dress is amazing. The price is amazing too-


    29, 999 dors. There was a time you could have afforded that.”


    She was right. When ir’s parents were still alive, her mom was rich even though her dad was a poor


    professor. However, after the ident,


    ir had to pay her neighbors back for their Losses. The huge fire had caused a great damage in the


    vi zone.


    Her uncle and cousin offered to give her pocket money many times, but she turned them down every


    time. She got a schrship every semester enough to cover her living expenses


    “Hey ir, why not try it on?” Joslyn asked and pinched her arm


    ir shook her head.


    “Why bother? I don’t have the money. It’ll tick off the salespeople.”


    Her words made sense to Joslyn.


    “All right. Let’s go.”


    While walking, Joslyn put aforting hand on ir‘s shoulder.


    “I’ll find a good job and work hard after graduation. And I’ll give you a dress as expensive as this one as


    a birthday gift,” Joslyn promised


    “Really? Then I’m looking forward to it.” ir kissed Joslyn on her cheek.

    Joslyn Laughed out Loud.


    “No problem. That’s me, studying hard for your future. However, I think maybe you should buy me the


    dress. You are a straight-A student. You’ll be a postgraduate one day. Or even a doctor


    You’ll probably make a ton more money.”


    Looking at the clothes in the mall, ir answered absentmindedly, “I hope so. But I’m really burned out.


    I feel like all I do is study.”


    Actually, she didn’t want to be a strong, self-made woman. She just wanted to marry Wesley and be a


    housewife, taking care of her husband and children every day. That was hard, because he didn’t Like


    her


    Joslyn leaned in and patted her softly.


    “Bless, don’t give up. Not everyone can get a schrship every semester, but you can. You are the


    best, Bless.”


    ir sighed, “Of course I won’t give up. What else is there?”


    Wesley had turned her down, so she had to get a job. She would study hard and earn as many


    certificates as possible. That way she might have a chance at some good money.


    Joslyn selected a belt for Hartwell. It was usually a girlfriend’s gift. At the thought of it, she grinned ear-


    to-ear.


    ir’s eyes fell upon a cigarette Lighter. It had a simple yet ssic design. She thought it would suit


    Wesley, who was a heavy smoker.
