Relentless Pursuit After Divorce

Chapter 991: 991. I’ll go back and report the expenses to my wife!

Sophie Baker thought, and before she knew it, her eyes began to sting with the powerless feeling that she could never catch up to Adam Jones’s pace, which made her heart even more sour.

Beneath that sourness, the unwillingness that emerged became even more intense.

She wondered, why did she have to act so humble and submissive in front of Adam Jones, unable to behave recklessly as Elly Campbell did before him?

After building herself up mentally, Sophie Baker raised her eyes to look at Adam Jones, but as she met those deep, oceanic eyes, her newfound courage shrank back.

She could only give a dry laugh and said,

"Adam, this is my mother."

Adam Jones looked surprised for a moment, then nodded his head, and the chill in his face lessened slightly.

It seemed that only because he didn’t recognize Melody Baker had he rudely interrupted her earlier.

He then apologized,

"Sorry, I don’t remember."

Melody Baker knew he didn’t remember, so she didn’t doubt his explanation.

But seeing the mocking expressions on the shop assistants’ faces, her eyes turned fierce.

"No worries, we haven’t seen each other in a long time, it’s normal for you to not remember me."

She certainly couldn’t say, "You’ve lost your memory, so you don’t remember me," right?

Melody Baker felt extremely frustrated inside.

Seeing the expressions on the shop assistants’ faces, she knew that these two despicable salespeople thought she was just giving herself an out.

Adam Jones responded indifferently with a "hmm," thinking of the slaps Elly Campbell had just given Sophie Baker and feeling he should console her somehow. He then looked at Sophie Baker and said,

"Since you’re here, pick any clothes you like, it’s on my tab."

I’ll be reporting this to my wife!

Adam, the penniless freeloader, silently added in his mind.

Upon hearing Adam Jones’s words, Sophie Baker’s original feeling of loss instantly dissipated quite a bit.

He looked at Melody Baker and said,

"Miss Baker, if there’s anything you fancy, feel free to pick it up as well."

After all, it’s my wife’s money.

Upon hearing this, Melody Baker’s face brightened; she knew that before Adam Jones lost his memory, he also had a reserved disposition, so even though Adam Jones’s attitude was not too warm, Melody Baker did not think too much of it.

She immediately responded with a gleeful expression and thanked him, casting a pair of smug glances at the few shop assistants.

Following that, she walked over to them, picked up the latest catalog of this season’s designs from their designer and boss, Sherry Huang, which was right on the counter, and began flipping through it.

The first page featured Sherry Huang’s signature dress. As it was the only piece and hand-sewn by Sherry Huang, it was expensive and not necessarily available for purchase.

It was a sought-after item.

Melody Baker pointed at the dress and told Sophie Baker:

"This dress will look the best on you, and since Adam wants to give it to you, don’t be polite with him."

In her words, she deliberately tied Adam Jones and Sophie Baker together, as if fearing others would not realize their relationship.

Moreover, she specifically emphasized in front of the shop assistants that it was Adam Jones who wanted to give it to Sophie Baker, which naturally led to wild speculation from the bystanders.

The two shop assistants couldn’t help but roll their eyes internally.

Being the other woman indeed meant having no moral compass; despite being degraded to nothing, their hearts still harbored a moving sense of superiority over others.

When Adam Jones heard Melody Baker say these things, he felt both annoyed and disdainful.
