Chapter 39: We Are Sisters!
"We are sisters!"
Jolie would rarely speak while Paula was talking.
"Sisters?"
George was finding that hard to believe since Michelle was a completely different kind of person from these two.
They were nothing alike, neither in their looks, temperament, or personality.
"Yes, do you know the Greenwoods?" Paula asked proudly.
George nodded.
Of course, he had heard of the Greenwoods.
They had been in politics for generations, many of them had reached quite relevant positions, becoming very respected in society.
However, in recent years, the Greenwoods' elder seemed to have retired, and his sons and daughters didn't have any real power.
As for other family members, he couldn't tell.
"I'm Paula, the third daughter of the Greenwoods, and this is my cousin, Jolie.As for Michelle, she's the youngest daughter of the Greenwoods."
Paula kindly introduced everyone.
George couldn't help being a little surprised as he heard this.
He had never thought that Michelle's surname was Greenwood, let alone that she was the old man's granddaughter.
According to her hospital registration, her name was indeed Michelle, but the surname was Mills.
‘'Was she afraid of people finding out about her family background and deliberately kept it under wraps? Judging from the three girls’ behavior just now, Michelle didn't seem very close to them.’’ Once Jolie was about to say something, Paula‘s phone rang.
As she picked up the call, her face showed a clear trace of surprise.
The next moment, she left with Jolie in a hurry.She didn't even attempt to embarrass her sister one last time, leaving her confused.
Michelle sat back in the chair again.
Since she couldn't hear the conversation between the three people just now, she had no idea what George was thinking.
If only she had been close enough to listen to them, maybe she would have turned her future days less embarrassing for her.
Finally, Nina chose a dress and carried it in the bag with satisfaction.
All of a sudden, she realized, "Oh, why didn't you buy anything, Michelle? You're not planning on going to the party in a work suit, are you?"
Michelle shrugged and replied casually, "It doesn't matter what I wear.There isn't a dress code."
"Take a look at this one."
Unexpectedly, George walked towards her, carrying a long bubblegum pink dress, and said, "This color suits you very well."
"This color doesn't fit her at all!"
An icy voice sounded at the entrance of the shop.
The three people turned their heads at the same time to see who it belonged to.
"Gerard?"
Michelle whispered, not sure of what he was doing there.
She was beginning to think she should have checked her horoscope before she went out that day.
Perhaps it would have warned her about running into unpleasant people everywhere.
First, it was those two annoying women, and now her ex-husband decided to show up? Something was certainly not right with her luck.
"Hmm." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Gerard squinted his cold eyes slightly, looking at the woman with a faint smile on his face.
"Bright colors seem to suit her better.Don't you agree, Chelle?"
Michelle's heart raced in her chest.
‘‘How dare he call me Chelle? Besides, he said it in front of strangers while we're divorced.Wasn't he the one who insisted that people shouldn't know about our relationship? Why is he doing this now? Isn't he afraid of the paparazzi?”
Feeling everyone's eyes fixed on her, Michelle wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it as soon as possible.This was all Gerard's fault.
‘Did he forget that everyone in Binfield knows his face as well as they know the seven o'clock TV show's host?’
As for Gerard, he simply turned around and left the shop with his female companion as if nothing had happened.People around continued to look at Michelle in a mix of surprise and jealously, leaving her speechless.
"Michelle! That was Gerard!"
In total disregard for her image, Nina's mouth hung open and her eyes glinted with love as she watched the man go.
