Chapter 12: Not Willing to Procrastinate Anymore
“But it seems that you forgot something. At your engagement party, Haikal made out with me. Why did he seem to still like me? I’ve been gone for five years, but he still couldn’t get me out of his heart.”
“You...”
Indri bit her lip in annoyance. Her furious eyes turned to the woman who was smiling brightly in front of her.
She wanted to fight her, she wanted to argue. But what happened during the engagement party was an unavoidable fact.
It was like a thorn piercing her flesh. And even if the thorn was removed, the pain still lingered.
She nearly crushed the shopping bag in her hand. But when she recalled that this place was where elites in the city usually hung out, she tried to calm herself down.
After that, doubt appeared in her gaze.
.....
From Ella’s current situation, how could she possibly be able to buy clothes in a classy mall like here?
She seemed to find a new way to humiliate Ella.
“Ella, what are you doing here?”
She wasn’t sure Ella would be able to earn money while staying in a mental hospital. And she wasn’t sure Ella had that kind of money for shopping either.
Ella just tossed her long hair. She didn’t answer Indri’s question and just looked around her.
The last time she came to this place was five years ago. The place was still the same as before, very luxuriously decorated. Anyone who could get in and out of that place were rich and influential people.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFive years had passed very quickly.
Ella didn’t want to spend more time with Indri. As she was about to leave, Indri raised her hand and blocked Ella’s steps.
“You don’t have money to buy things here,” said Indri. Her eyes widened even more as she said sarcastically, “Are you selling yourself now? To whom?”
Indri really wanted to clap and laugh loudly right now. When she imagined Ella being fucked by an ugly geezer, she seemed to feel extraordinary joy.
“Ella, you really are disgusting.”
Indri was feeling really happy.
Five years ago, she was living in lies. She had to pretend to be kind and obedient to Ella, her stepsister. Ella was respected in the city and at home, she was her father’s favorite child.
How could she not feel jealous?
But her mother told her to be patient so that she could only pretend to be a good sister in front of Ella.
Ella narrowed her eyes and looked at Indri with disdain as she recalled how Indri called her ‘sister’, in a very sweet tone once.
Ella loved Indri very much even when Indri was not her biological sister. She had considered Indri like her own sister and never hesitated to buy her everything she wanted.
Now that she thought about it again, Ella felt really stupid.
“Oh? You notice my beauty?” Ella’s face didn’t change at all, she didn’t look embarrassed at Indri’s insult. “I also think I’m beautiful. If I tease Haikal and ask him to be my sponsor, he will definitely not refuse.”
Indri immediately turned gloomy after she heard those words.
But Ella didn’t care and continued, “A man always thinks that what he can get is not the best. On your engagement day, he hugged me too. What do you think?”
The engagement day was like a heartache that weighed on Indri.
Seeing Indri’s face getting worse and worse, Ella’s mood got better.
This was just the beginning.
Of all the insults, all the suffering that Ella felt, she would make her pay 10 times over.
Indri heard the hidden meaning behind Ella’s words. She knew that Ella was deliberately flirting with her future husband on her engagement day!
Indri really hated Ella, but she didn’t know how to keep her mouth shut. She could only leave while leaving a threat, “Just you wait.”
After that, she walked away carrying her bag.
She would never let Ella set foot in her house again.
After Indri left, Ella could continue her shopping more calmly.
She took some clothes in the shop thinking how much money Christian put on the card.
An employee of the shop kept recommending the newest model beside her. As she looked at the price tag, she felt her heart ache every time she counted how many 0’s there were.
As she turned back around, she saw a pink dress in the corner of the shop.
“Miss, you have very good taste. The dress is in Vogue right now.”
While saying that, the clerk had taken the dress, “If you like it, you can try it.”
Ella accepted the dress and nodded with a smile. After that, she walked towards the changing room.
After she tried it on, the employee looked at her with admiration. “Miss, this dress suits you very well.”
Even though the dress looked simple, every detail was made with great care, as if intentionally created to attract attention. This design made Ella look more elegant and charming. She looked like an upper class woman.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe shop clerk took a slightly loose cardigan and gave it to Ella, adding to the charm of the dress.
“Perfect!”
Ella also felt very satisfied when she saw her appearance. Suddenly, she began to imagine how Christian would react when he saw her.
She changed her clothes to her previous one and the shop clerk had helped her to wrap the dress she bought.
After that, she gave the card that Christian gave earlier.
The shop clerk accepted it and swiped the card. Then gave the bill to Ella.
One dress and one cardigan cost 50 million... Ella felt like returning the dress back to her shop.
But as he recalled Christian’s critical eyes, she held herself back.
She did this not for herself, but for her son.
Christian had already given her money and she had to buy new clothes so as not to embarrass him.
After leaving the mall, Ella took the bus to return to the place she rented.
She lived in a small studio apartment. There was only one living room and one bedroom. The place where she lived smells like mold because no one had rented it for a long time.
Ella managed to find this place a few days ago. It was not in good condition, but the price was very cheap.
At night, cold air would penetrate inside, making Ella feel cold.
Ella closed her bedroom’s window while holding the dress she had just bought. She thought about wearing it and going back to the hotel.
She didn’t want to delay any longer.
Time was very precious to her.
