Chapter 165
"That's him!"
Winona rubbed the rim of the glass with her fingertips and smiled gently.
Winona said, "You know how grand the wedding was when Carlos married Mikayla in Xosa. His family must be rich. Marrying him will make you above commoners."
Actually, Thalia hadn't had a boyfriend yet. She blushed hearing Winona's words. Winona had made her point and Thalia understood it.
Winona wanted Thalia to seduce Carlos.
Although she also wanted to do it, she knew it was not that simple. "But everyone knows Carlos loves Mikayla. I can't possibly do it."
Everyone in Xosa knew Carlos loved Mikayla.
He was very protective of his wife. Besides, their wedding was so ostentatious and grand. What could it be if it wasn't love?
"Love is another thing. Sometimes, men will have different thoughts. If you want to live the life you want, you have to work harder. Otherwise, you are just waiting for other people to pity on you!" Winona smiled with a mysterious look, "Besides, Thalia, you are very pretty when dressed up."
What Winona said touched Thalia.
If Thalia dressed up, she could be gorgeous. When she tried on those clothes just now, she couldn't believe that the person she saw in the mirror was herself.
She was stunned.
No one didn't like looking amazing.
Thalia always felt that she would not live an ordinary life. Now, being urged by Winona, she held firmer to this idea.
Thalia said, "Winona, isn't it a bit improper?"
After all, Mikayla and Carlos were married. She would be a shameful mistress if she intervened in their marriage.
Winona said, "Everyone can do whatever he wants!" She wanted to comfort Thalia's torn mind.
Hearing Winona's words, Thalia tended to think Winona was right. "But I don't know how to do it."
Winona smiled mildly, "Let's eat first! As long as you want it, I will help you." Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Winona forked up a dessert and put it in her mouth.
Juliet took Brantley's arm and walked toward the dessert shop.
Brantley was unexpectedly free today so he went shopping with Juliet. Juliet was so happy that she didn't know what to do. Since they were dating, Brantley's career had been rising so they didn't even have much time to eat together.
She knew Brantley was determined to get the position of deputy mayor this time so she didn't want to waste his time.
But today, when Juliet brought him lunch at noon, he said that he would get some rest in the afternoon so he could go shopping with her.
When they just started dating, Juliet had a lot of doubts until the last time he took the initiative to kiss her. Today, he even offered to go shopping with her. She gradually felt that Brantley was beginning to love her.
It was a good change.
But Juliet kept thinking about what Mikayla had told her. Mikayla saw Brantley with Sienna. She even wondered if Brantley wanted to come clean this time.
Juliet thought, 'Does he want to end our relationship? He wants to be with Sienna?'
The more Juliet thought about it, the unhappier she felt. As soon as Juliet stepped into the shop, she saw Winona sitting gracefully. Juliet thought, 'Holy shit!'
The dessert shop was not spacious, only 400 square feet, but business was very good.
In Juliet's words, as a pregnant woman, Winona dressed ostentatiously and would absolutely attract everyone's attention.
Brantley naturally had seen Winona. He said, "How about we find another shop?"
Juliet took Brantley's hand and walked inside. "I like the mango milkshake here. Let's go."
When she decided to go here, she wanted to have a mango milkshake in this shop a lot. So they came directly to this shop.
She didn't want to give up what she wanted because of someone else.
Winona thought, 'Who the hell is this bitch to force me to leave?'
Juliet asked, "Brantley, do you want to take the seat outside or inside?"
Brantley took a look. "Let's go outside!"
Juliet asked Brantley to take a seat and wait for her.
She ordered some drinks and desserts for them, took the change, and glanced at Winona when she passed her. Then she went outside to a small open-air garden.
She was curious that Winona would hang out with her cousin.
Turning around, she pretended that she didn't see her and walked toward Brantley with a smile.
The small open-air garden was fenced and one of the corners was covered with various kinds of flowers, layered on top of each other. The breeze blew and they faintly smelled the flowers.
Juliet sat opposite Brantley, putting
her hand on the hem of her short skirt and carrying her handbag, "They only use natural ingredients here to make the desserts so you won't gain any weight."
Brantley said, "Have as much as you want if you really like it here. I didn't mean it." He didn't expect that Juliet would start to lose weight because of what he said although it failed.
Juliet put her bag aside, nervous about Brantley's words. She was afraid that he would say something that she didn't want to hear if he was agitated. It would be the end of the world for her.
She waved her hand and said, "We rarely hang out like this. Try the signature dessert here. It's not bad."
Brantley stirred the coffee in front of him and looked at Juliet's energetic face.
Juliet was only wearing foundation, mascara, and pink lipstick. The makeup was simple and natural, highlighting her fragility. With Brantley, she didn't even wear perfume.
In recent years, she had done a lot of research about Brantley. She knew his hobbies and preferences better than anyone else. Brantley said, "Juliet."
When Juliet heard Brantley call her name, her heart jolted. She said, "Brantley, give me a moment. I need to go to the bathroom." Juliet turned around, her heart beating very fast.
She thought, 'Damn it. Why do I need to pee whenever I am nervous?'
She was so scared.novelbin
She was afraid that she would soon lose her hard-won relationship with Brantley.
When Juliet came back from the bathroom, Winona and Thalia had left.
Looking at Brantley's genteel face through the glass, she stopped walking.
Mikayla told her although they were both from wealthy and famous families in Xosa, Brantley was not engaged in business. If the mayor and his daughter both liked Brantley, he was likely to be tempted
Because it was about his career, Brantley put a lot of effort into his work. Besides, the mayor's opinion could greatly influence the competition for the deputy mayor.
Brantley noticed that someone was looking at him so he looked up and saw Juliet standing not far from him.
Soon, Juliet walked to him with a smile.
Juliet said jokingly, "How can you always be so handsome?"
Brantley looked at her. "Juliet, I want to tell you something."
Juliet's heart jolted. She nodded. "What is it? I am listening."
