Chapter 647 A Coincidence at the Mall
Then, she smiled and said, "Mom, how long have you bought the clothes at home? They have been out of date long ago, okay? Besides, a few days ago, who was the one who was fussing over her clothes that were not nice enough and that she didn't have new clothes?"
Hearing that, Iris blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
A few days ago, when she packed her luggage and was ready to leave the hospital to go home, she did say that.
She mentioned the Sonia next to her always dressed up gorgeously every day, and she felt that her style was too plain, which made her looked old.
Her original intention was that since Evelyn was a famous celebrity now, and as her mother, she shouldn't dress too shabbily.
Lest in the future, when they went out together, she would embarrass her daughter!
The public would think that with Evelyn's accomplishment, how could the mother still dress so shabbily?
Therefore, at that time, she said that she wanted to buy new clothes.
But she didn't expect that the clothes would be so expensive now!
Iris did not know that Evelyn had brought her to a high-end shopping mall.
Because of her physical condition and the relationship entanglement with Forbos in the past few years, it had been a long time since she went shopping.
Hence, she had no idea what was happening in the world, as if she had phased out.
Looking at those well-decorated and high-end shops that were full of expensive goods, Iris looked a little uneasy.
As she lowered her voice, Iris said to Evelyn helplessly, "These things are too expensive. I don't think it's worth buying them."
Hearing that, Evelyn pursed her lips and smiled.
Patiently, she explained. "Mom, that's not true. Although these things are a little expensive, there's a reason for it."
Then, she pointed to a shop that looked more mature and said, "Take this shop for example. Look, every piece of its clothes is personally customized, which means that you will not bump into anyone wearing the same clothes as you."
"As for the design and workmanship, do you know that the designer of this store is the world's top designer, Sienna. In order to produce such a designer, it takes decades of hard work."
"It took decades of hard work to produce such a designer, and his handmade clothing was only sold for tens of thousands. It seems reasonable, isn't it?"
"And if you look carefully, you will find that the pearls on them are all hand-crafted. From that, it is enough to show that this dress is worth a lot."
Before that, Iris only paid attention to the price, but not to the details.
Now, after hearing Evelyn's explanation, she realized that it seemed to be true.
Finally, with slight hesitation and unwillingness, Iris said, "In that case... let's have a look?"
In return, Evelyn nodded with a smile.
"Okay, let's have a look. We can talk about it if you see anything you like."
After the agreement, the two of them continued shopping.
Fortunately, she really did listen to what Evelyn had just explained to her.
Therefore, for the rest of the shopping journey, Iris did not reject or complain about it as much.
In the end, she bought two coats and a dress before they left with satisfaction.
It was only four o'clock in the afternoon when they left the mall.
But Marty would only come to pick them up after six o'clock, and there were still two hours left.
Since they didn't want to shop anymore, they decided to sit in a nearby cafe and wait for him to get off work.
When they arrived at the coffee shop, Evelyn ordered two cups of coffee and sat down at a relatively secluded VIP area on the second floor with a good view.
After sitting down and chatting for a while, they suddenly saw someone familiar coming toward them.
It was Charlotte Blaine, who brought her niece to go shopping on the same day as well.
They were also tired from shopping and were about to find a nearby cafe to have a rest. However, she didn't expect to bump into them.
When the two parties met, the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
In an instant, Charlotte's face turned cold noticeably.
Meanwhile, Evelyn pursed her lips as she didn't know what to say.
But since they met, she couldn't pretend that she didn't see her.
Thus, she could only bite the bullet and stand up, then said, "Mrs. Blaine, what a coincidence."
At first glance, Iris did not recognized her.
After all, it had been so many years. When she saw Charlotte, her first reaction was she only felt that Charlotte looked somewhat familiar.
It was only when she heard Evelyn addressing her that she remembered.
Similarly, Iris stood up in surprise, and said, "This is... Ms. Charlotte?"
Because when the Hussain family was still in Flaucford, Nile and his wife were still there.
As Buckley's wife, Charlotte had always been addressed as Ms. Charlotte of the Blaine family.
But Iris had forgotten that since then, more than ten years had passed.
Now, she had married into the Blaine family. When others saw her, they would all address her as Mrs. Blaine and no longer Ms.Charlotte.
Therefore, the moment Charlotte heard this form of address, her face immediately darkened and seemed really unhappy.
"Oh, it's you guys. I haven't seen you, Mrs. Hussain, for more than 10 years, right? How are you now?"
A faint smile hung on her face, but her attitude was arrogant and distant.
In turn, her domineering look made Iris a little awkward.
Forcing a smile, she replied, "Good. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and Ms. Charlotte, you have become even more beautiful now. At first sight, I thought you are a young lady in her twenties."
Flattery would get her anywhere.
Although Iris didn't know why Charlotte looked so unhappy.
But since their children were married, supposedly, they were considered as in-laws.
Hence, it was better not to have an awkward relationship. So if several nice words could make Charlotte happy, she was happy to say it.
As she previously promised, she would not interfere in the affairs between the two youngsters.
So until now, Iris had not asked about the relationship between the two of them and the Blaine family.
After all, Iris and her husband, Finneas, used to stay in the Blaine family for a period of time.
Iris was aware that Charlotte was sometimes a little petty, but to say that she was a bad person was not true either.
It was also because of this that she was relieved to let Evelyn and Marty be together.
Although the Blaine family was wealthy and noble, her daughter was not bad too.
After starring in so many films, Evelyn was popular and had earned a lot of money. Besides, she always took good care of herself and looked beautiful.
No matter how Iris looked at her own daughter, she was excellent.
But what Iris didn't know was that the good she saw in Evelyn was merely mediocre to some people, and the movies she starred in were unpopular.
When Charlotte heard Iris's words, she became less annoyed.
But the moment she saw Evelyn's face, it reminded her that the woman in front of her was the one who had taken away her son.
Because of this, she had to make that ridiculous bet with her son, which made her angry.
