Chapter 1509

We went to a cafe for breakfast.

"Why were we there this morning? What did you take me there for?" Shirley asked once she hadgotten over her hangover.

"I didn't know where to bring you, so I took you there for the night."

The corners of her mouth twitched. "So? Did you leave your bank card there as payment?"

I nodded.

She was astonished and wanted to ask more, but I cut her off. "What are you going to do later?"

She kept quiet. After a moment of silence, she said, "I don't know what to do."

"Do you have a bank card with you?" I asked her.

She nodded, "Yeah!"

"Perfect. Let's go to the beauty salon, and then the shopping mall next."

She was astounded but nodded in response. She stared at me and added, "My child is still athome."

"Is there a nanny?"

She nodded and said, "Yes, I have stopped breastfeeding. I informed the nanny when I left homeyesterday."

I hummed in agreement. "That's good."

After breakfast, I went straight to the salon with Shirley. The salons in Jarold City were either tooordinary or so high-end that regular folk could not afford it. I contacted Freya. When she knew that Iwanted to visit a salon out of the blue, she was startled. "Why do you want to visit the salon all of asudden? Are you in shock?"

I smacked my head in exasperation. Her imagination was beyond limits, "No, I wanted to bring afriend to get her hair done. Do you have time? Let's go shopping together!"

"Yes, of course. Where is it? Give me the address!" She exclaimed excitedly, "Oliver is so difficult todeal with these days. I feel that I can't keep up with the trend anymore. It's really not easy to be amother. I feel like I'm no longer a woman. I'm in desperate need for some retail therapy."

I was baffled by her enthusiasm. "I'll give you the address later. Find Oliver a babysitter or send himto my mom's place and ask her to help."

She clicked her tongue and said, "Arianna, you're probably the most relaxed person I know. Yourparents take care of your child and your husband is in charge of the company. You can spend allyour time doing stuff that you enjoy. You're so relaxed!"novelbin

I grinned and answered, "Why don't we swap? I can exchange my life with yours. Are you willing todo so?"

"That won't do. My husband is the best in the world. I won't exchange him for anything else," Sheretorted playfully.

I chuckled. "Okay, stop joking around. Hurry up. My friend and I will be waiting for you here."

After hanging up, Shirley and I drank coffee while we waited for Freya at a cafe.

Seeing that Shirley was a little absent-minded, I could not help probing. "What's wrong? What areyou thinking about?"

"I'm a little worried about my child. I didn't return home for the entirety of last night, but I did not getany calls on my phone. Irvin did not call me at all. Do you think it's because he doesn't care what Ido at all?"

She looked at her mobile phone wistfully. I sighed and suggested, "You should call the nanny andask her for updates about your child. As for Irvin, don't worry about him. It's not important whetherhe cares about you or not. You have lost yourself for so many years. You should do something foryourself and make yourself better. Don't think about anything else."

It was too meaningless to pursue romantic love blindly. There were so many more possibilities inlife. Why did she choose the path that caused her the most misery?
