Handpicked Clothes
The expression in Jordy’s eyes changed. He couldn’t agree more with what his grandma said this time.
“Alas, what a sin… Breaking up Gloria and you is the most unwise thing she has done! You’re a perfect
match!” the old lady lamented.
Jordy’s eyes were tinted with astonishment. He held onto Karen’s arm and said, “Grandma, let’s go
down.”
The old lady shook her head and said, “Apply some ointment later. You can’t leave it as it is.”
“I know.”
The old lady nodded and went downstairs with Jordy,
Gloria looked uneasy when she was standing in the living room. Karen saw her and said in a hurry,
“Girl, why are you standing there? Come and take a seat. Why didn’t come up and see me?”
Gloria’s eyes flickered before she replied with a smile, “I didn’t since Jordy went up.”
At the sight of Gloria, Karen ignored Jordy and quickened her pace.
Before long, she came downstairs. With a smile, Gloria went over to support the old lady from the other
side.
Karen looked at Gloria with gentle eyes before the sight of Gloria’s swollen lips surprised her.
“Your mouth…”
Gloria’s eyebrows twitched as she realized something. Ashamed of it, she grabbed the old lady’s arm
and said, “Karen, let’s go and take a seat.”
Skepticism was visible in her eyes. Karen captured Gloria’s emotions, looked back at the hand print on
her grandson’s face, and laughed.
What is going on?
She wondered and laid her eyes on Jordy’s sexy lips.
Jordy was stunned.
And so was Gloria.
Karen must have figured out something!
Damn man! He caused her trouble even after they got divorced.
Karen chuckled. “Good!”
Gloria was petrified.
And so was Jordy.
Unable to hold back anymore, Gloria explained in a hurry, “Karen, it’s not like that.”
Karen laughed out loud. “Yeah, it is not!”
She said so, but her smile gave away her thought. Now the pent-up melancholy was all gone.
Jordy winked at Gloria, warning her against saying anything improper. Karen was rarely so happy. She
pursed her lips and gave up explaining it.
She shut her mouth.
Karen grinned at them and asked, “What brings you two here?”
Gloria glared at the man who had lied to her.
Oblivious to it, Jordy said in an unhurried way, “You asked me to select some clothes for her. I’ve
brought them over.”
A flicker of amazement flashed across Karen’s eyes. “So soon! You didn’t skimp on it, did you?”
Gloria was confused.
Didn’t Karen say she would stay out of their business?
Karen realized her improper speech and corrected herself, “Ahem, I told him to prepare the clothes
before our trip to Temple Lucius. He should fulfill his promise.”
