Chapter 807


    The woman''s curious gaze fell on ine.


    She was sizing ine up with curiosity and disdain.


    Finally, she turned to Howard and said with a smile, "I didn''t expect it was really you."


    Initially, Howard was a little nervous when he saw the woman, but now, he calmed down. "Kiran,


    why are you here?"


    Kiran Fox lifted her hair and walked up to him. "Of course, I''m here to buy cosmetics. Is this your


    girlfriend?"


    Just as ine wanted to exin, Howard said, "Does it matter?"


    "Oh. Howard, since when did you prefer this kind of innocent-looking girl?" Kiran scoffed.


    Saying that, she gave him a meaningful look. "Didn''t you always love the curvy kind of women like


    me?"


    Howard just looked at her lightly. "Stop making things more awkward."


    "Are you angry?" Kiran stared at him with her beautiful eyes wide open. "How could you get angry


    at me? Remember how you used to dote on me when we were dating?" "Shut up!"


    Now, he was really angry as he red at her, snapping, "And get the hell out of here."


    Kiran snorted. Then, ignoring him, she turned to ine. "Girl, how long have you two been dating?"


    Puzzled, ine didn''t understand why she asked.


    "Howard''s a great guy. We all know that. However, he will never fall in love with you."


    "He''s been dating different women all these years, but no one has ever got to be with him to the


    end. He''s a yboy. When he gets tired of a woman, he just ditches them."


    There was resentment in Kiran''s tone.


    It seemed that she was one of the women who had been abandoned by Howard, which exined


    why she got so emotional now.


    "He uses the same tricks every time. First, he shows you tenderness, gifts you flowers, and satisfies


    all your vanity. Easily, you''ll fall in love with him... If I''m not mistaken, after he took you here to shop


    for clothes and cosmetics, he''s gonna take you to dinnerter, right? You gotta be careful. He treats


    every woman this way. When you fall in love with him, he''s gonna want you to have sex with him.


    And once he gets that, everything''s gonna be over."


    Meanwhile, Howard''s face turned sullen. However, his upbringing wouldn''t allow him to hit a


    woman.


    So he could only sneer and say to ine, "How are you still listening?"


    Hearing that, ine was puzzled. "Huh?"


    "This woman is full of bullsh*t. I can''t stand it anymore," Howard said icily, "ine, go and shut her


    up, will you?"


    Nevertheless, ine just looked surprised.


    She didn''t know what to say.


    On the other hand, Kiran looked a little scared.


    "What? You''re finally afraid now?" Howard gave out a coldugh.


    Stepping back, Kiran stammered, "Wh- who told you I''m afraid? I was just telling the truth. Howard,


    you''ve broken so many women''s hearts and you''re gonna pay the price! You''ll end up being lonely!"


    Eventually, Howard got frustrated and rolled up his sleeves, ready to teach Kiran a lesson.


    Seeing that, Kiran screamed and ran away.


    In the meantime, ine stopped him. "Dr. Perkins, don''t."


    With a ck look, he took a deep breath.


    Later, Howard still looked quite upset when he went to pay the bill.


    Since ine didn''t know how tofort him, she decided to keep quiet.


    However, after the interlude, the shop assistants were staring at Howard with meaningful looks.

    Howard let out a coldugh and left with the shopping bags.


    Quickly, ine followed.


    Coming out of the mall, Howard strode forward at a fast pace, so she could only trot along in


    silence.


    Suddenly, he stopped and turned back with an ashen look. Catching off guard, ine ran into him.


    He held her up and demanded, "Why aren''t you saying anything?"


    She rubbed her head and asked back, "What do you want me to say?"


    "Ask me who that woman is and if what she said is true!" He red at her.


    ine looked surprised. "Well, isn''t that your exgirlfriend?"


    As for the credibility of that woman''s words, she was not bothered at all since it was Dr. Perkins''s


    private affairs.


    Howard seemed to have choked on her words.


    Abruptly, ineughed. "Dr. Perkins, I don''t believe in that woman''s words. You''re such a good


    man. How could you be ying with women''s feelings? I know she''s just trying to drive a wedge


    between us."


    At the end of her speech, she even winked at him.


    Howard didn''t know what to say.


    Looking at her, his gaze became deep andplicated. He pursed his lips slightly.


    Under the dim light, they were studying each other silently.


    Finally, ine patted her belly and said, "Dr. Perkins, how long are you still gonna stand here? I''m


    getting hungry."


    Howard sighed. "Girl, can''t you think of something else other than food?"


    "Like what?"


    "Like what I told you before I went on the business trip. What are your thoughts now?"


    "I''m starving. Let''s go get supper."


    Sneering, Howard gave her a nce. "Wait until we buy you some clothes first."


    ine was choked speechless.


    In the clothing store, Howard asked the staff to pick out a dress for her.


    "Go change it."


    Getting the dress, he pushed her into a fitting room.


    After ine had entered the fitting room, Howard sat on the sofa with a sullen look.


    However, he was only acting like this to hide his nervousness and guilt.


    What Kiran said earlier was true and he was afraid that ine would misunderstand him.


    Thus, he could only act this way to deal with the situation.


    A whileter, ine came out of the fitting room in a knee- length dress. The tapered waistline had


    brought out her tiny waist and her straight legs. She looked extremely gorgeous upon dressing up.


    Her ck hair was hanging down loosely, and the pink dress made her look lovely.


    Howard loved the way she looked now—her figure and the ufortable look on her face.


    Nevertheless, he had never imagined that one day, he would fall in love with someone.


    He liked ine a lot.


    Seeing that Howard was sitting still, ine pulled the hem of her skirt and asked, "Dr. Perkins, does


    it not look good?" "Ahem." Howard stood up and shook his head.


    "No, it looks really good on you. Let''s get this one."


    Saying that, he was about to take her out. "Now, let''s go have dinner."


    Quickly, ine said, "Wait! My clothes are still in the changing room!"


    "Ah, those are worn clothes. You could just throw them away."


    "No! They''re not that worn yet!" ine then ran to the staff and requested, "Hello, could you put my


    clothes into a bag please?"


    The staff smiled and said, "Sure, please bear with me for a moment."


    Taking the shopping bag, ine followed Howard into a restaurant. The waiters in the restaurant


    were speaking a foreignnguage.


    No wonder Howard made her dress decently. It turned out that he wanted to take her to a high-end


    restaurant for dinner.
