After thinking about it, Ste changed her mind and asked,” Are you done with your shopping?”
Marshall looked at the items in his hands and said, “I’m still short of some ssware. Do you have
somewhere to be, Ste? If not, can you help? I’m not very good at choosing this kind of stuff.”
Ste looked at the time and realized it was still early, so she said, “Sure, that’s fine. I’ll pick up two
pieces of ssware too.”
“For you and Ms. Thompson?” Marshall casually asked.
Ste paused andughed dryly, “Yeah.”
She was actually buying them for Keegan’s new house.’ Though the mansion has been renovated,
there’s basically nothing in it. All of the tableware and toiletries that Aldor bought are disposable.
Keegan said to wait until we’re free to go shopping together since we’ll move into the new ce when
we get remarried. Grandma mentioned that the house was in a good location that could promote a
healthier marriage and possibly children. I don’t get why an atheist like Keegan would believe that, but I
like how he wants to buy stuff for our new home together. That being said, I will still buy the ssware
today because I’m sure Keegan would choose something ugly. I’ll just execute my n and ask for
forgivenesster.’
Ste put her groceries into the car and followed Marshall to a nearby mall. He asked how she was
doing along the way, and she answered his questions casually.

Her reaction was a little worrying because of all the heat she was under. After the news about Be’s
fall and the interview broke out,izens started to attack Ste on the inte, asking her to
apologize. However, Ste did no such thing despite it happening two days earlier.
“I know a few people who are in the PR industry. If you need any help, just call me,” Marshall said with
consideration.
Ste was momentarily taken aback and realized he was talking about her recent turmoil. “It’s okay. I
can handle it,” she said.
“How are you going to do that?” Marshall asked.
Ste opened her mouth to say something, but she closed it again. “It’s a secret. You’ll find out
tomorrow,” she said mysteriously.
Marshall smiled and did not ask further questions.
Soon, they arrived at the underground parking lot of the mall. Marshall parked the car, and the two of
them got on the elevator together. The mall was crowded due to the holiday season. Many people were
waiting for the elevator, including parents holding onto their children and college students on
Thanksgiving break.
Everyone swarmed into the elevator once the doors opened, and the people inside got out. Ste could
feel herself being
pushed in by the crowd. When she turned to see if Marshall had entered the elevator, she heard his
voice above her head say, “Come here.” The man slightly raised his arms and created a gap for her to
pass through to the corner.
Marshall stood in front of Ste while a bunch of people was on her right, and two young girls—
whispering to each other since they came in-were on her left.
When the elevator started moving, a woman carrying her child stumbled backward. Ste was shocked
and quickly supported her. The woman was startled and turned to thank Ste after getting back on her
feet. “Say thank you,” She looked at her child in her arms and said in a low voice. The child blinked at
Ste and suddenly reached out to grab her mask
The woman was stunned and pulled the child’s hand away as she apologized, “Sorry. He’s probably
still sleepy and didn’t know what he was doing.” As she said that, she gently hit the child at the bottom
and said, “How can you be so rude? Is that how I taught you to treat people? Quick. Apologize to the
kinddy.”
The child was only about three years old and already had a sense of self-esteem. After being
reprimanded by his mother, his eyes turned red, and his nose twitched as if he was about to cry.
Ste pulled her mask up and hurriedly said, “That’s okay. He’s still a kid. It’s no big deal.”
The woman thanked Ste again and turned around. While Ste was readjusting her face mask, she
noticed a young girl next to her staring.
