Chapter 106


    Estelle’s voice trembled, “How many in a box?”


    The man thought about it seriously, “About fifty cases.”


    Estelle’s face showed more shock than embarrassment, “How did you pass the checkout counter?”


    Did the cashier look at him like a weirdo?


    Jonathan frowned, “What checkout counter?”


    Estelle took a deep breath, “The ce where you pay for your stuff at the supermarket.”


    Jonathan’s brow furrowed even more, “The supermarket manager helped me carry the box to the car,


    and I gave him the money.”


    Estelle, “…”


    “What’s wrong?” the man asked.


    “Nothing.” Estelle croaked, at most, the supermarket manager thought Jonathan was buying


    wholesale.


    Go to the supermarket to engage in wholesale, no wonder the manager was rmed, and personally


    sent to his car.

    She looked up and said seriously., “Don’t go to that supermarket anymore!”


    “Why?” the man asked.


    Estelle said, “I’m afraid that the manager wants to talk to you about cooperation!”


    Jonathan looked at her and suddenlyughed.


    Estelle couldn’t help butugh as well, her eyes shining brightly and daintly.


    Jonathan’s heart stirred, and he pinched her chin to kiss her, kissing urgently, deliberately ignoring the


    unusual heartbeat in his heart for


    some reason.


    The next day was Sunday, and the art gallery’s exhibition officially opened.


    For the Macin family, Simone got up early and put on her makeup, picking out clothes for Carme.


    Today they were going to the exhibition to see Carme’s painting, so they had to dress up a bit.


    Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. Simone picked it up and answered, smilingly said, “Yes, it


    opens at nine. We’ll be there soon, see youter.”


    Carme obediently sat in a chair, waiting for Simone to hang up the phone before asking, “Mom, did


    you invite someone else?”


    “Yes, a few good friends and those who usually y cards with me. I invited them all.” Simone’s face


    was smiling, especially smug, “My daughter’s painting is exhibited in such a big exhibition. Of course, I


    want them all to see it.”


    Carme had a sweet smile, her eyes moving, and said sweetly, “Isn’t that too showy?”


    “Not showy at all. We’ve been keeping a very low–profile. You didn’t see Mrs. Reeves, the one I y


    cards with? Her daughter’s violin got a second prize in a musicpetition, and she made a big deal


    about it, inviting everyone and making it known all over the city. My daughter is so talented, shouldn’t I


    show her off?” Simone snorted.


    Carmeughed, “As long as you’re happy!”


    “Happy? Of course, I’m happy!” Simone picked a white long dress for Carme and asked, “Did you


    invite your


    Carme nodded, “I invited two good friends.”


    ssmates?”


    “Two is a bit too few, but the exhibition is open for a month. You can invite them againter.” Simone


    was nning, “Last time at the Copnd family birthday party,theyughed at so hard at us behind our


    backs. This time, we have to fight back.”


    Mentioning thest incident made Carme a bit embarrassed, “I’m sorry, it was my fault.”


    “It doesn’t matter, haven’t you made up for it this time?” Simone lovingly touched Carme’s face,


    “Estelle has no future to speak of now; I can only count on you.”


    Carme’s eyes sparkled, “I definitely won’t disappoint mom.”
