Chapter 1369 Meeting at a Narrow Road
In the midst of the mist, Selena's expression was somewhat blurred. It wasn't until she finished drinking
a cup of tea seriously and placed the teacup down that she looked up at Leon. "I only target those who
have harmed my mother. As long as the Riddle family doesn't side with and protect them, I won't do
anything to other members of the Riddle family."
After saying this, Selena nodded at Leon and stood up and walked out. Leon looked at the slender
figure of the girl and lowered his eyelids. She was still as cold as ever...
...
Lady Lauren had not been shopping for long with Hattie when Selena arrived with Leia. As soon as
Hattie saw her, she immediately ran up and asked, "Selena, did they bully you?!"
Selena looked at her eager eyes and smiled, "No."
Seeing that Selena didn't seem unhappy, Hattie put her heart at ease.
Lady Lauren walked over with a fan and sighed slightly. "Selena, I was wondering... did you forget
about the engagement between you and my son?"
Selena coughed guiltily. "No, I had planned to finish my work first and then prepare for it."
Please forgive her! As a warrior in daily life for over ten years, someone has always arranged
everything for her. She really can't think that much about everyday life. Moreover, the Turner family has
no female relatives, and no one reminds her deliberately, so Selena really didn't care about the
engagement between her and Osvaldo.
Actually, she wasn't completely indifferent. It was just that she didn't know what she should do.
Lady Lauren sneered and probably saw the awkward situation of she. She waved her fan and said,
"Follow me."
Selena held Hattie's hand and obediently followed.
Lady Lauren took Selena to a tastefully decorated shop. The shop was spacious, and the air was filled
with the fragrance of precious sandalwood.
The female shopkeeper, dressed in a dark green cheongsam, was embroidering by the frame. She
lifted her head when she heard footsteps and a faint surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw the
beautiful ladies come in.
Standing up calmly, she said with a smile, "Madam, Miss Turner, Miss Riddle."
Lady Lauren took Selena to sit down, and then said with a smile, "Last time I came here, I ordered a
batch of clothes for my daughter-in-law. Today, I happen to have some free time, so I brought her here
to try on some clothes."
The news of the engagement between Miss Turner and the young master of the Anderson family had
already spread in high society circles.
The cheongsam shopkeeper stared at Selena for a moment and said in a gentle voice, "Please wait a
moment."
Then she turned and went upstairs.
Selena rarely came into contact with this style of things, and she was curious for a rare moment,
looking around. Then she was amazed by the embroidery on the embroidery frame.
Indeed, anything valued by Lady Lauren must be good.
Hattie looked for a moment and asked, "Madam Laurence, is this the shop opened by Lady Lola?"
Lady Lauren pinched Hattie's cheeks and said, "You're very smart."
Seeing Selena's puzzled expression, Hattie explained to her, "Selena, Lady Lola is the top embroiderer
in the capital. Her embroidery pieces are all fought over by those women in the capital."
"My mother has come here to order clothes a few times when she needs to perform on stage in the
future."
While she was talking, Lady Lola came down from upstairs with a tray in her hand and walked up to
Selena. There was a fiery red dress on the tray, "Madam Selena, please try it on."
Selena knew this was Lady Lauren's kindness, and there was no reason to refuse, so she took the
dress into the fitting room.
"There are a few more upstairs. Madam, come upstairs with me to take a look."
Lady Lauren instructed Hattie for a few words and went upstairs with Lady Lola.
Hattie and Leia waited downstairs for Selena.
And during this gap, two people suddenly walked in from outside the door. A man and a woman.
The woman had a gentle appearance, with her hair tied up into an exquisite bun with a white jade
hairpin, and was wearing a vintage white dress. Her skin was white, and her whole person exuded an
obvious elegance.
As for the man...
Hattie frowned at the young man who walked in, and Leia looked unfriendly.
Obviously, the people who walked in from outside did not expect to see them.
After a moment of surprise, his gaze almost subconsciously swept around the shop, not seeing who he
wanted to see, before finally falling on Hattie's face.
He smiled slightly, "Hattie, did you come here alone?"
Hattie, although a bit unhappy, still politely greeted, "Hello, Alfie." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Alfie raised his hand and touched her hair.
This was something he used to do often.
Hattie pushed his hand away, wrinkling her nose, and dissatisfiedly said, "Alfie, I'm not a child
anymore!"
The woman next to Alfie also looked at Hattie and smiled, "What a cute child, Mr. Soo, won't you
introduce me?"
Alfie's tone was very plain, "This is Miss Riddle."
The woman hesitated for a moment, then nodded at Hattie and said in a gentle tone, "Hello, Miss
Riddle, I'm Aurelia Bennett."
Although Hattie didn't like to interact with strangers, she still said, "Hello," then turned and ran away.
Leia had been pretending not to see the two people from beginning to end.
Aurelia chuckled, "This child is really lively."
Alfie's expression was warm, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. "What do you want to
buy?"
Aurelia looked around the store.
The clothes on the shelves were good, but there were many exquisite jewelry items on display that
would catch the eye of any girl who loves beauty.
Aurelia was no exception. She walked in front of the shelves and occasionally picked up an item to play
with, but didn't choose any.
Leia stood shoulder to shoulder with Hattie outside the fitting room, with synchronized expressions,
staring at the two people opposite as if they were facing a great enemy.
Alfie stood at the door patiently waiting for Aurelia to make a selection.
After looking for a moment, Aurelia soon picked up an ancient-looking and delicate wooden hairpin and
walked up to Alfie, asking softly, "Mr. Soo, how about this one?"
Alfie glanced at it and his tone was still plain, "If you like it, then it's good."
Aurelia's expression dimmed for a moment, but her tone still carried a smile. "Mr. Soo, you're mistaken.
This is for men, it's not suitable for girls."
Alfie's expression didn't show any embarrassment. "I was mistaken."
Aurelia's face changed.
The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
And in this silence, the bead curtain of the fitting room was suddenly lifted from inside.
