During breakfast, because Antonio was around, Henry suddenly brought up Elder Sylvester and his eightieth birthday celebration in a week.
“Ava dear, it has been a long time since you bought new clothing, right?” Henry suddenly asked.
Ava was drinking soup. She raised her head in surprise. “Weren’t you talking about Grandfather Sylvester’s birthday? Why has the topic shifted back to me?”
“How many years have you maintained this habit of being careless. It’s fine if you dress comfortably normally, but at Elder Sylvester’s birthday, you should dress more formally.”
Ava wanted to say that it was not as if she was lacking in clothes. Regardless if it was the closet at the Sylvester household or Clifford household, whatever she wanted, she had. How much more formal did she need to be?
“Antonio, if you’re not busy today, why not accompany Ava to go choose some clothes.” Henry did not wait for her to speak up and directly looked at Antonio.
Antonio calmly smiled. “All right.”
“Dad, I don’t lack clothing…”
“Let Antonio accompany you. Go and buy obediently!” Henry put on the tone of the head of the family, glaring at her, as though commenting on how she was not sensible at all.
“After being married for so long, you’ve never properly returned to the Sylvester family. What the rumors say about you, isn’t it clear in your heart?” Henry said unhappily. “Antonio usually gives in to you, but that doesn’t mean you can willfully ignore etiquette. The Sylvester family isn’t a normal family. How many people will be looking at you during Elder Sylvester’s birthday? You need to look like the status you have!”
Ava protested no further. Buying clothes was not important, but shopping with Antonio was a brand-new experience. Also, she could see if there was any gift she could buy for Grandfather.
Since Antonio did not refuse, she was happy to accept.
“Dad, we will also go to Elder Sylvester’s birthday, don’t we?” Stella suddenly asked.
“Of course. As relatives by marriage, how could we possibly not attend Elder Sylvester’s birthday?”
“But Dad, I’ve also not gotten any new clothes in a long while…” Stella voice carried a tone of grievance. “Can I follow Big Sister and Brother Antonio to go buy clothes?”
“Aren’t you spending money every day? How are you still lacking clothes?” Henry coldly said. “Don’t stir up trouble!”
“The ones I usually buy are for daily wear, I have little clothing suitable for such occasions. Anyway, they are going to buy clothes, not on a date. There’s nothing wrong with bringing me along…”
“You…” Henry was just about to scold her.
“Since Stella will also attend the birthday banquet, there’s nothing wrong with bringing her along to choose a few sets of clothing.” Jessica, who sat by the side, joined in. “They are both your precious daughters, you can’t be so biased, right?”
“That’s right, that’s right. Dad, you’re being biased.” Stella reached out to hug Jessica’s elbow, as though seeking to be pampered. “You don’t love me as much as Aunt Jessica does!”
“Since Stella wants to go so badly, let’s all go together.” Ava smiled as though it did not bother her at all.
“Big Sister, you’re the best!” Stella fluttered her lashes at her.
Ava calmly curved her lips.
If she wanted to follow, she could do as she pleased.
She had better not regret it at the end though.
“Ava dear, you really spoil Stella too much. Since young, you’ve always given in to her.” Henry saw that Ava was not against it and did not continue reprimanding Stella.
Ava lips curved into an unnoticeable cold smile. “She is my dearest little sister. If I don’t give in to her, who will?”
After spoiling her for so many years, the sister she always gave in to wants to snatch away her husband to the extent where many years later, she pushed her own sister into an abyss, causing her to lose her life.
Ah.
Stella did not notice Ava’s deep and profound smile. Her eyes only remained fixed on Antonio. “Brother Antonio, later I will quietly follow you and Big Sister. I definitely won’t interrupt both of you. When Big Sister is done choosing her clothes, then I’ll choose the ones I want, all right?”
Antonio’s cold brows moved slightly. His gaze calmly landed on her, but he did not speak.
Stella’s smile froze.
He was really stingy by not even offering her a single word…
Jessica tugged on Stella’s hands. “Isn’t it just buying clothes? Stella, you don’t have to make yourself so uncomfortable. It’s so rare that you can follow your Big Sister and brother-in-law. Remember to choose to most expensive and the best. After all, your brother-in-law’s money cannot be spent even in several lifetimes, Isn’t that right, Ava?”
Jessica spoke while looking at Ava.
She was clearly finding trouble with Ava. Yet, Ava did not speak and only smiled. Her expression was as calm as Antonio’s, who sat by her side. Jessica did not receive the response she wanted. Seeing her unfazed, Jessica raised her eyebrows, no longer speaking.
Anyway, regardless of what she said, Ava would no longer lose her temper out of the blue like she used to, nor would she provoke Henry’s anger. Right now, this Ava knew when to move forward and when to retreat. Only god knew what she was planning in her heart.
Ava appeared as though she did not care for the intentions of every single person at the dining table. Not long after, she placed her bowl and chopsticks down. “Hubby, let’s leave now.”
“Already full?” Antonio asked.
“Hm, you placed so much food in my bowl. If I eat anymore, my stomach will explode~.”
Antonio smiled calmly and said to Henry, “We’ll leave first. Enjoy your breakfast.”
Henry nodded. He felt comfortable from the bottom of his heart after seeing his daughter and his son-in-law seem so loving.
Seeing that the two had already stood up, Stella was startled. “We’re leaving now? I’m not done eating…”
“Who asked you to speak so much? You eat so slowly!” Henry turned to glare at her. “If you want to go, then quickly follow. Don’t let Antonio and your sister wait there for long! If not, don’t follow them!”
Although Stella felt wronged, she did not speak any further. She stood up, pursing her lips. When she saw that Ava and Antonio had already left the house, she rushed to run behind them.
However, the moment she stepped out of the door, she saw Ava taking the initiative to hold on to Antonio’s arm.
Stella was stunned for a moment before she rushed forward, smiling. “Brother Antonio, isn’t your car parked at the backyard? Why are you walking out of the front door?”
Ava turned back. “I just mentioned it. Today is the weekend, so the roads will definitely be crowded. Driving a car will take too long. Instead, I suggested to your brother-in-law not to drive today.”
“N-not driving?” Stella was surprised. “Then, how do we go?”
“Obviously, we will take a cab.” Ava’s tone was calm. Her arm wrapped around Antonio’s as she glanced up at him. “Or should we directly take the public bus?”
Antonio was calm. “Up to you.”
Public bus?!
Stella suddenly regretted following them out…
She had never taken the public bus in her life!
She was going out with someone with a status like Antonio, and Ava wanted to take the public bus which cost only around one to two yuan! Was there a problem with her brain?!
Stella bit her lips in anger. She thought to suggest something else, but the two had already walked far.
They actually did not wait for her at all!
