Eulalie’s face was full of smiles.
She ignored me standing nearby and, as if performing a trick, pulled out an old watch to amuse Percy.
“What are you talking about? I might forget other people, but I would never forget my little darling.”
“Wasn’t this meant just to make you smile? I even flew to Vermont to pick out a watch for you.”
“Alright, play on your own for a bit. I still need to go to my pregnancy check.”
“After I finish, I’ll come back to look for you again.”
After saying this, she still remembered to give Percy a tap on his butt.
Seeing that familiar watch, I almost burst out laughing.
A woman who climbed up from nothing truly plans every move carefully.
She bought a real one for her lover and still remembered to add a fake one for her husband.
The watch strap on my wrist burned, making my chest hurt.
I took it off without care and threw it into the bin.
When I turned around, I suddenly heard a few people nearby talking in low voices.
They were curious about the relationship among the three of us.
One of them wanted to step closer to listen, but stopped by a friend.
“Are you out of your mind? Didn’t you notice the man next to her?”
“That’s… the Gambling King’s oldest boy.”
