Chapter 201: BOASTFUL

Chapter 201: Chapter 201: BOASTFUL

"What should we buy?" Chloe asked as the two of them were walking away from the parking space.

Briar’s lips curled into a smirk as she turned her head to face the front. After taking a glimpse of someone walking several meters away from them and answered Chloe. "Girls love dolls but I think getting something educational can do as well. Otherwise, they would be thinking about playing all the time!"

"Indeed, let’s just buy both!"

"I second that!" Briar echoed Chloe’s suggestion and the two of them happily made their way towards the shopping mall for some shopping.

The two found the shop that they were looking for pretty quickly and inside, the two mothers’ eyes were shining like stars being surrounded by so many good things for the children.

While picking things up, Briar received a call. When she took out the phone from her bag, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face as she saw the caller ID. She hurriedly swiped to answer and put the phone on her ear.

"Mother, good afternoon!" she cheerfully greeted, flowers blooming on her face.

Chloe, who was on the other side of the aisle, naturally heard what Briar was saying. Envy flashed in her eyes, thinking about how good Briar was having it with her marital family. How nice it would be if things were this good with her and Dave!

[You haven’t forgotten about tomorrow’s appointment, right?]

Briar’s eyes shone when she heard that, she couldn’t help but respond coyly, as she turned her head a bit to her right, and caught gaze with a young woman who nodded politely at her which made Briar smile politely at the other before answering her mother-in-law. "How can I forget Mother about that?"

[Who knows?]

"Hehe, Mother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I will definitely make it on time."

[No! I will let the driver pick you up personally from your place. I can’t trust this matter in your hands!]

Briar, who was despised, pouted her lips sulkily after hearing that and reluctantly agreed to the arrangements. Her mother-in-law reminded her of a few more other things before hanging up.

Once the call was hung up, Chloe looked at Briar teasingly and asked, "Is that your husband’s mother?"

Briar beamed upon hearing that and shyly nodded, "That’s her. She is the best mother I could ever ask for!"

"You must be on good terms?"

"You can say it like that. After all, we have known each other for a very long time."

"So, she is taking you out for some shopping or family event?" Chloe finally asked what she was most curious about and looked at Briar with sparkling eyes.

Briar, who finally received that question, smiled shyly, while from the corner of her eyes still captured the young woman, she noticed from the parking space earlier.

"Hehe, it’s not a simple outing. Me and my husband are having a wedding ceremony next month. Mother-in-law wants us to look at wedding dresses. She can’t have me carry a big belly before the ceremony!" her words were a whisper though those who were near could hear her words.

When Chloe heard that, her eyes lit up as she looked at Briar’s belly and asked excitedly, "Are you ... are you perhaps expecting?" her eyes shining as if the child was hers.

Briar looked at Chloe shyly before moving closer to her so that only Chloe could hear, "Not really. But who knows? We barely use protection!" before moving away shyly.

Chloe broke into a giggling fit upon hearing that and couldn’t help but glance at Briar’s belly for a while, attracting the attention of many.

"Then I will say congratulations first!"

Briar waved her hands nonchalantly, a loving gaze on her flat belly before lifting her head to look at Chloe and said, "I will accept your congratulations. Thank you very much."

"You are welcome. So, where are you going to look for the dresses?"

"Um, Mother said that we are going to the Meyers mall. There is a good shop there!" Briar responded Chloe, her voice on the louder side.

Chloe didn’t find anything fishy about that and simply nodded. She didn’t know which shop was that, but considering that the family Briar married into was rich, she didn’t need to worry about much.

"Then all the best!"

"Thank you. I will need it!"

With the good news shared between the two, they happily continued with their shopping and bought several things.

Briar didn’t buy just for Tiana but also picked for the eldest two. She couldn’t discriminate between the children.

While she was at it, she even picked for Logan. He was too envious of his children at times. He needed placating otherwise she would be suffering.

Once the shopping was done, the two returned to the car carrying their bags and, on their way, they were busy talking as always.

"Have you ever been worried about other women stealing your husband?"

"Tche! Why should I worry? I trust him! Besides, he is picky. He doesn’t pick any Jane or Mary!"

"You are that confident in him?" That surprised Chloe; she couldn’t help but ask.

Briar flashed her a teasing smile, and that alone made Chloe’s heart tremble as something bad came to mind.

"You need to trust in yourself and the man you love. Besides, the second that he picked me, it meant that the rest had lost the race. So why bother with them?"

Chloe broke into laughter when she heard that. How could her train of thought be that crazy?

Anyway, she kinda liked what Briar had said. There were so many trees in the forest, and yet he picked her to marry. Doesn’t that mean that the chosen one had already surpassed others and won?

Why bother thinking about others, in such a case?

However, someone else didn’t agree with that logic at all. The second she heard such hurtful words, spoke in such a sarcastic manner and with the voice of the person she hated so much, the sound of things shattering sounded and the young woman who was seen by Briar earlier shuddered with fear.

’What kind of client did I get?’
