Chapter 627
Twenty minutes later, Joseph found himself standing awkwardly in a nearby lingerie store. He questioned his own sanity, wondering how he had ended up buying intimate clothing for Cassie. He had never done anything of the sort for Megan.
A female salesperson approached him, her eyes lighting up at the sight of his handsome face. "Sir, are you looking to buy men's underwear?" she asked. She couldn't help but think that he was more attractive than any celebrity she had seen. Yet, there was something familiar about him.
"No, I'm buying women's underwear," Joseph replied, the awkwardness evident in his voice.
"Oh, buying for your girlfriend, I see," the saleswoman said, a hint of envy in her voice. She thought to herself how fortunate his girlfriend must be. "These are our new arrivals, which ones do you like?"
Joseph glanced nervously at the selection, all of them incredibly sexy. He couldn't help but imagine Cassie in them, causing a heat to rise within him. "Give me some conservative, cotton, solid color ones," he requested.
The saleswoman nodded in understanding. "I see, you don't want your girlfriend to wear anything too revealing. Sir, you're very considerate. Actually, cotton is the healthiest option, and black is not as good as solid colors."
Joseph was taken aback. He hadn't realized that Cassie didn't pay enough attention to her health, given her preference for black.
"Sir, how many pairs do you need?" the saleswoman asked.
Joseph paused for a moment, "Let's go with thirty pairs." He figured that would be enough for the year. "I'll also take thirty pieces of lingerie."
With that, Joseph paid and left the store, arms laden with paper bags.
Coincidentally, Evelyn March, the daughter of the March family, was shopping nearby and saw Joseph. She immediately sent a Facebook message to Megan. "Megan, I just saw Mr. Huo at the lingerie store, he bought a lot for you. So jealous!"
Meanwhile, Megan was in her private apartment, sharing a playful moment with Rex. It wasn't until twenty minutes later that she finally checked her phone and saw Evelyn's message. A deep smile formed on her lips. Joseph had never done something like this before. She assumed it was his way of comforting her after the humiliation she had just experienced with Cassie.
"What are you looking at? Stay with me a little longer," Rex said, pulling Megan into his arms assertively.
"No," Megan protested, pouting. "If I'm always coming home late, Joseph will eventually suspect something. If I lose him as my support, I won't be able to give you as much money."
"Alright, but does Joseph know how promiscuous you are?" Rex playfully pinched Megan's chin. "Doesn't Joseph treat you well?"
"You got it right, he's not as good as you," Megan praised with a playful smile.
"You little vixen, no wonder I've always enjoyed playing with you all these years." Rex laughed heartily, his large belly disgustingly visible to Megan. However, Megan could only force a smile on her face.
After leaving the apartment, Megan's smile quickly faded. Although Rex provided her with something that Joseph couldn't, he was like a ticking time bomb. She needed to get those photos from Rex and get rid of him. Only then could she truly relax.
Meanwhile, at Willow Creek Estates, Joseph rang the doorbell. Cassie answered the door and was taken aback to see Joseph carrying so many bags. "How much did you buy?" she asked.
"Thirty sets in total," Joseph replied, placing the bags on the sofa. The aroma of food wafting through the living room made his stomach growl. "Is my meal ready?" His eyes lit up, resembling a sheepdog eagerly awaiting to be fed.
Silently, Cassie pointed to a plate of tomato noodles on the table. "There, that's it."
Joseph walked over to take a look, only to find an ordinary plate of tomato noodles. Each noodle was coated in tomato sauce, looking decent enough, but they were cold to the touch.
"You expect me to eat this? And it's cold?" Joseph became angry. He had kindly gone to buy lingerie for Cassie, and in return, she served him a plate of cold tomato noodles.
