“Why does someone seem jealous?”
Georgia grinned at Robert, who turned around and pouted.
“I wasn’t involved in your past. I can imagine how bright your smile must have been back then, as a
shining energetic young girl. But those memories belong to Travis, and I know nothing. You left your
budding years to Travis. If only I’d known you then.”
There was such pain in those words that Georgia instantly felt guilty.
Really, that was such a soft spot, and she should have just said that it was something she practiced
herself instead of telling the truth.
Sometimes people just got stupid.
While the two kids weren’t paying attention, she hurriedly sneaked a kiss on Robert.
“No need to get hung up on it. Didn’t you say that everyone had a past? We still have to buy clothes
today, right? You just promised me, and I’m going to get all sorts of different colored suits for you. Red,
orange, yellow, green, purple, one each, how’s that?”
Robert remained silent and didn’t speak, seemingly really shaken by this.
Georgia could only take his hand and wring it.
“Don’t ruin the happy atmosphere today; we’re having fun today, aren’t we?”
“Then kiss me another two times, and I’ll forget this today.”
Robert said that to her in such a sulky way that she felt a surge of sweetness as she leant over and
kissed him twice.
But this time, the two kids say it.
Wesley and Annie covered their eyes, and Annie, even more daringly, started teasing her parents.
“So embarrassing. Daddy, Mommy, you’re so shameless. Can you pay attention to your behavior?
We’re kids here!”
“You slick little imp. All right, can Mommy apologize?”
“No, Mommy needs to kiss me and Wesley too.
“Wait, no, Mommy just kissed Daddy twice, so you have to kiss me twice and Wesley twice too,
because you have to be fair, right?”
Robert felt like that made sense.
“Annie is right. Mommy has to treat us all fairly.”
Georgia felt like these days were especially happy, and even facing Wesley, she felt warm and intimate.
She bent her head and kissed both children on both cheeks. Annie, excited, kissed her back twice as
well.
As for Wesley, his face was red throughout and he was too shy to speak.
That made Georgia feel like he was even cuter. For some reason, she was really starting to take a
liking to Wesley, even though she knew that he had another mother.
As she promised, Georgia brought Robert and their children to the men’s fashion floor in the mall.
As she understood the bigger men’s fashion brands, the brighter, more lavish men’s clothes brand
would have to be LV.
Georgia had seen summaries of men’s fashion online several times, and LV had always left a deep
impression.
With curious designs and rich colors, this line of men’s fashion had always been an eye-catching
trendsetter.
So Georgia brought Robert to the LV storefront.
The person who counted as the manager in charge of the store walked up in front of Georgia and
Robert.
“Mr. Simpson, Mrs. Simpson, is there anything we can do for you?”
When people like them went out for a stroll, they were the center of all attention, and whatever they
wanted, others prepared right away.
Georgia spoke to the manager directly.
“Do you have anything green or red? Suits with bright colors. Take them all out; I’d like to look them
over.”
The manager looked cautiously at Robert.
She couldn’t seem to believe her ears, and asked Georgia one more time.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Simpson, I didn’t quite hear your request clearly.”
The manager probably didn’t believe Georgia was really going to by those brightly colored suits.
“You didn’t mistake me. I’m asking you if you could please take out the suits with bright colors in our
store, say, red or orange or yellow or green or indigo or blue or purple. If you have those colors, please
show us. We’d like to buy those suits.”
Georgia showed a prim and beautiful smile and the manager felt like she was getting dazzled, feeling
dizzy.
But this time, her good work attitude allowed her to stay calm.
“I understand your request now, Mrs. Simpson. I’ll have people on it right away.”
At that, the manager hurriedly retreated and delegated the rest of the staff, having them get the goods
ready.
Robert and Georgia sat on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting.
“Are you really planning on having me put those weird clothes on right here?”
“What do you mean weird clothes? Look at that face of yours. It’s handsome and cool. You’ll handle
those clothes just fine.”
Robert suddenly regretted what he’d said at home before.
He thought Georgia had been joking with him or teasing him, and even if she meant it, he’d just try it on
at home.
Now, it looked like she was really going for it.
It wasn’t that he was unwilling to put it on at all, he just wasn’t used to it.
Robert’s suits were all the same cold colors, and he really hadn’t worn anything bright red or green or
purple or orange or blue or whatever.
But to please his wife, Robert decided to make the sacrifice today.
He’d put the clothes on to make Mrs. Simpson happy.
Not long afterwards, the staff walked over with a pile of clothes.
There was luminous red, yellowish orange, crimson, indigo, azure, all sorts of colors.
Annie, playing a game at the side, couldn’t help but look up at her father.
“Daddy, are you really going to wear suits like this? Do you like this kind of color?”
Annie showed a complicated expression, and Robert shot a careful look at Georgia.
Implying to his daughter that, yes, her mother was forcing him to.
Annie, naturally, understood her father’s meaning, and turned to Georgia instead.
“Mommy, are you really going to have Daddy put these clothes on?”
Georgia smiled at Annie.
“Haven’t you seen the clothes Daddy wears every day? It’s all either gray or black; don’t you think
that’s boring? If we put a few brighter suits in your Daddy’s massive closet, he doesn’t have to wear it
often, it’ll just liven up the atmosphere a bit. Maybe some red suits for the holidays.”
That seemed to make sense, and Annie was convinced, and even turned expectantly to Robert.
“Hurry up and put it on, Daddy, you might look really cool in them.”
“So long as it’ll please Mrs. Simpson and our little princess, there’s no problem even if I have to wear
these clothes every day.”
Robert stood up heroically and took a red suit into the changing room.
After a while, he came out wearing red.
Georgia felt her heart throb. It didn’t feel wrong at all. In fact, it was an unusually beautiful fit.
You really could just wear anything if you looked good.
Annie ran over and took Robert’s hand excitedly.
“Daddy, you look like you’re a few years younger wearing this.”
Robert didn’t know if he was supposed to be happy or depressed hearing that.
“Annie, I’m not that old.”
“What I meant was that you look more boyish in this, Daddy. Like how you normally feel like a senior,
but now you look like a cool big brother.”
Robert was happy with that. He walked up to Georgia.
“Are you satisfied with this? If you are, let’s buy it and take it home. It fits, and if you really want me to
wear it for the holidays, we can all wear red at that time and take a family photo.”
That had Georgia’s eyes gleaming.
“You’re right. Our whole family wearing red for the holidays would make it such a celebration! I forgot to
buy something red for Annie and Wesley too; I have to pick a few pieces up. For myself, then…”
Georgia thought of something.
“I want a red dress, and we can take a photo all together by then, and it’ll look great. We haven’t taken
a family picture yet. We have to take one for the holidays this year.”
Afterwards, Georgia had Robert try suits of a host of different colors.
When Robert came out in a luminous green suit, Georgia ducked her head and lost it.
It wasn’t that Robert didn’t look good in it, but the color was just too catchy.
His entire being emanated with a playboy aura, and it was hard not to laugh looking at him.
Annie didn’t quite understand how adults thought. She just subconsciously thought that it was a bit
weird for her Daddy to be wearing green.
“This green suit doesn’t look so good, Daddy. How about you change it for this yellow one?”
Yellow was essentially a taboo color, and Georgia wasn’t sure if Robert could handle it.
But since the whole family was talking amongst themselves, even Wesley couldn’t resist chiming in.
“How about you try the yellow, Daddy? I want to know which one looks uglier.”
Wesley had his boots on the ground, and Annie erupted into laughter.
Before Robert could take the yellow suit into the changing room, another person came into the store.
Because the store had been cleared out, the bodyguard came in directly and spoke to Robert and
Georgia.
“Mr. Riley Price is outside and is preparing to come in with a lady. He’s heard we’re here, and wants to
greet us.”
Robert blinked, then looked at Georgia.
“Let him in, then.”
Georgia spoke, and Riley brought a gentle-looking, quiet woman inside.
Seeing Robert in luminous green, Riley couldn’t help but mock him for it.
“You’re almost thirty years old, and you’re still wearing a suit in this color. Trying to play it hip, Robert?”
Before Robert could reply, Georgia had already stepped in to protect her husband.
“My Mr. Simpson just looks that young. Not like you, who looks older than his age. You’re not jealous,
are you?”
That had Riley looking at Georgia, a little confused.
“The relationship between you two is this good now? I didn’t expect that.
“Right, let me introduce you. The woman besides me is named Leda. She knows your husband well.
They were each other’s first love, too.”
Finishing, Riley smiled faintly at Georgia, as if he was sitting by and watching the show.
