“Where are you nning to goter? How about having dinner with me?” Augustus paused and continued, “Jedidiah told me that your son is especially cute. When I knew you before, you were still a little girl. I didn’t expect you to have a child now! When can you bring him out for me to see? I’ll give him a great gift!”


    Augustus came from a business family and had been managing it for several generations. He was considered a local bigwig in Stnd, which was why he didn’t hesitate to fight Brendonst time.


    “Sure! I’ll bring him out for dinner another day. Or you cane over to the house when you’re free. Didn’t you used toe often?” Ranita suggested.


    Speaking of this, Augustus felt a bit awkward. “Oh, you know I don’t get along well with Chole.”


    The fact that the Bowman family brought Chole back was only known to a few people in their circle, and Augustus was one of the insiders.


    But after growing up together since childhood, they had gotten used to each other, so Augustus preferred Ranita more.


    “Did she give you a hard time when you came back?” Augustus mentioned Chole with a meaningful tone. “It’s not your fault that she got lost. ming you for the hardships she endured over the years is ridiculous.”


    There were many conflicts between Ranita and Chole, but they couldn’t be exined in just a few words.


    “Well, let’s take it step by step! My father is sick, and I can’t ignore him either.” Ranita paused and said, “I don’t have much to do right now. I just want to go to a counter and buy a handbag for my mom. Her birthday ising up, right?”


    “Buying a handbag? I’m an expert at that!” Augustus confidently said, “Let me tell you why I know about this? It’s mainly because I’m generous and always buy gifts for my girlfriend!”


    “You’re amazing!” Ranita praised him. “Then please rmend something to meter!”


    “No problem, it’s a small matter! But if you want to buy a handbag for your mother, it’s probably toote to order at the counter now. Many limited editions require advanced reservations!” Augustus reminded her, and Ranita suddenly remembered this.


    Alexia’s birthday wasing up soon, and she returned to the country in a hurry without time to prepare. Ranita was a bit worried.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    “If there’s nothing suitable at that time, I’ll look for something else! If all else fails, I’ll go to the auction house.” Stnd was an international metropolis, and the items in the auction house were of high quality, but the good ones weren’t avable every day, so she had to pay attention.


    “Oh, don’t be disheartened! Didn’t you run into me?” Augustus smiled at her.


    The two of them went to a nearby brand mall together. As soon as Augustus entered, he quickly found a saleswoman he was familiar with, while Ranita leisurely looked around.


    Suddenly, a sweet and surprised voice came, “Ranita?” Ranita looked up and pursed her lips lightly.


    “Ranita, are you also shopping? What a coincidence to meet you here!” Shannon held Brendon’s arm and leaned gently against him. Brendon was wearing casual yet stylish clothes, tall and handsome as always.


    Brendon probably didn’t expect to run into her and looked slightly surprised, but quickly recovered and spoke in a low, hoarse voice, “Ranita.”


    A shallow call.


    Ranita’s heart inexplicably felt a pang of sourness.


    The atmosphere became somewhat cold and silent. Shannon quickly interjected, “Ranita, Brendon was discharged from the hospital today, and since I found it boring, I asked him to apany me for shopping. It’s such a coincidence. How about we have dinner togetherter?”


    Ranita pressed her lips faintly and said, “When you’re done talking, please step aside. You’re blocking my view of the handbags.”
