Food shouldnât be wasted. Kimberly promptly regretted eating too fast earlier.
Her checks puffed up as she watched them eat.
Inwardly, she thought, âItâs not my fault. Itâs easy to get hungry as Iâm pregnant with twins. Looks like they will be little gluttons in the future.â
She sat in her chair, salivating without getting to eat anything.
She mused, âI want to go to the restroom. Itâs a perfect opportunity to get out and stroll around.
Perhaps Iâll get to stuff in two pieces of pastries later.â
Thus, Kimberly told her friends about her intention. As Olivia wanted to keep her company, she made to get up.
Before Olivia could get to her feet, Kimberly placed both hands on her shoulder and pushed her back into her seat.
Kimberly said confidently, âEnjoy the delicious food. I might be pregnant, but I can walk. Donât worry. Iâll be back soon.â With that said, she strode out.
Alas, Kimberly had always been bad with directions.
After walking for a while, she still couldnât find the restroom.
She then spotted a server and hurried ahead to ask him where it was.
Finally, she arrived at the restroom successfully.
After relieving herself swiftly, she was about to head back when she realized something.
âS hit, I forgot to see which room we were in,â she thought. âFortunately, I was smart enough to bring my phone out. Otherwise, Iâd be doomed.â
She was about to give Vincent and the rest a call when someone called her name.
To her surprise, the person called her âKatherineâ instead of âKimberly.â
She was in Dellmoor, not Norham.
Astonished, she turned in the direction of the voice and spotted a gentleman.
It was none other than Jaxon Nightingale, the man who loved Olivia with a vengeance before breaking her heart into a million pieces.
When their gazes met, Jaxon could barely hide his surprise.
A while ago, he found the figure familiar and was reminded of Katherine.
He had no idea it really was her.
He mused, âThat means Oliviaâs eating here, too.â
Previously, Katherine wouldâve stiffened and been at a loss.
However, Kimberly greeted the man warmly, âItâs been a while, Jaxon.â
As expected, Jaxon took the chance to ask about Olivia. âI canât believe I ran into you in Dellmoor. Is Olivia here for a meal, too?â
Kimberly wasnât a fool, so there was no way sheâd reveal anything about Olivia easily.
Back then, she saw how dejected Olivia was after their breakup.
She tamped back the urge to teach Jaxon a lesson for disappearing irresponsibly without leaving any message behind.
âNo. Iâm here with other friends,â Kimberly told him solemnly as her pretty amber glittered under the light.
eyes âI donât want my friends to wait. See you next time, Jaxon!â After saying that, she fled the scene. She refused to spend a minute more with someone she despised.
Recalling the decorations she walked past when she came out earlier, she traced her footsteps back and also called Vincent to make sure she was going in the correct direction.
Vincent wasnât surprised, for she was known for being a klutz.
After finding their private room, Kimberly rushed inside and plopped down on her seat. She picked up her glass of orange juice and gulped it down.
Seeing that, Olivia asked, âWas there a wolf after you? Why were you running?â
âYouâre right. That person is worse than a wolf, though.â
She leaned closer to Olivia and whispered in her ear, âI ran into Jaxon Nightingale earlier in the restaurant. I donât think he knows about Christopher and me, though. They arenât related in any way, so he wonât reveal my whereabouts, I guess.â
âWhat a small world. I canât believe she bumped into that man here,â Olivia marveled.
Vincent was displeased to see them talking to each other secretly, for they had ignored him.
âYou can chat all you like back home. How could you ignore a hunk sitting here?â Vincent was always confident in his looks.
Kimberly immediately understood what he meant. âYeah, youâre the hottest man in Dellmoor!â
If her other brothers heard this, they would definitely protest in their group chat.
After filling their tummies, they decided to go shopping.
This was their first shopping spree in Dellmoor.
First, they went to a shopping mall under Larson Corporation. Kimberly announced, âPick anything you like. Everythingâs on me today.â
After what happened during the site inspection at the amusement park this morning, Kimberly didnât want to tire herself out this afternoon.
She told herself that the time spent observing the site didnât matter.
Before their arrival, she gave Frederick a call to inform him that she would be arriving at the shopping mall under Larson Corporation soon so he could make the necessary arrangements.
The super VIP store immediately cleared the area after receiving the call from the CEOâs assistant, and the sales assistants arranged the display items hastily.
Frederick was waiting at the door when Kimberly and the other two arrived at the mall.
They were flanked by a bunch of people as they took the VIP elevator to their destination.
The super VIP store was divided into three sections â the menâs section, womenâs section, and kidâs section.
They went on separate ways to get what they wanted.
Kimberly had an assistant who was in charge of her clothes, and her wardrobe would be updated regularly with limited edition stuff and bespoke outfits.
Thus, she wasnât in the mood to shop in the womenâs section today.
Brimming with curiosity and enthusiasm, she headed to the kidâs section.
Suddenly, it occurred to her that the little clothes, socks, and shoes were really adorable.
Vincent was busy shopping in the menâs section. It was rare for Kimberly to be this 10:53 Mon, 22 Janu generous, so he didnât want to let her down and proceeded to pick everything that caught his eye.
Olivia shopped for a while in the womenâs section and picked a dress for herself.
As Kimberly was still in the kidâs section, she went there to take a look.
They ended up buying many things for Dexter and Sebastian.
Indeed, women were all the same. They might be stumped with choices when it came. to picking stuff for themselves, but they were very decisive when picking stuff for their kids.
Kimberly belatedly realized that Olivia had only picked one dress for herself.
She deliberately asked, âWhy? You have such high standards, huh? Donât you like the items sold by Larson Corporation?â
The sales assistants were startled to hear their CEOâs remark.
They were afraid theyâd lose their jobs for not being attentive enough.
After all, it was an honor to work for Larson Corporation in Dellmoor.
Larson Corporation was a respectable company that paid its employees well. Kimberly told Olivia to take a sc at while she went to the womenâs section to shop.
She selected the most popular clothes, shoes, and bags according to Oliviaâs usual style.
She then told the sales assistant to pack up the stuff she picked in Oliviaâs size and deliver them to the Larson residence.
Tired from all the shopping, she sat beside Olivia and watched as the handsome Vincent shopped his heart out.
Parting her lips, she said gently, âVincent looks great. Heâs practically a model, for everything looks good on him. What a pity he isnât a model.â
Vincent belatedly realized the ladies were waiting for him when he sensed their gazes.
To him, that was rude. Thus, he ended his shopping spree quickly.
