Chapter 75: Sisterly Bonding Time
Chapter 75: Sisterly Bonding Time
Melody was casually walking out of the school gate when she felt her phone vibrate from her pocket.She dug through her pocket to fish out her phone and then she read the name that flashed across her screen as her phone continued to vibrate.
It was Sarah.
The call was barely connected when Sarah's excited voice came from the other end, "Mellie, are you out of school? I came to pick you up.Let's go shopping together, okay?"
Melody winced as she stretched her phone away from her ear, but she could still hear her sister's loud voice.She couldn't help but scowl in distaste.
'Why were all of them like Luke? Why were they always such in high spirits?' It hurt her ears! Then, Melody remembered what Sarah had said.She had never done something like shopping before. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
If she had time to go shopping, she might as well sleep at home.
Melody thought that idea sounded much better than shopping.
She nodded along silently to her train of thought as if to agree with herself.
But just as she was about to hang up the phone, she suddenly remembered what she saw last night and quickly changed her mind.
"Send me the address" Melody said.
After hanging up the phone, Melody received a message from Sarah.
It contained the location of the nearby shopping mall.
Melody glanced at it and her lips curved into a beautiful are.
Five minutes later, Melody arrived at the shopping mall where Sarah was.
Melody walked through the automatic doors of the mall and looked around.She saw Sarah waiting for her by the side.
Melody silently observed Sarah as the latter excitedly whipped her head around, gazing from one shop to the other.
It seemed like Sarah was in a good mood today.
When she finally turned her head in Melody's direction, a large smile immediately made its way to her face as she rushed over to where Melody stood.
Sarah innocently blinked up at her, and there was a playful glint in her eyes as she and hooked her arm around Melody's.
Then she lowered her voice and said, "Mellie, I'll tell you a secret.I just got my advertising endorsement fee, and my bank account has been added another sum.I am so happy today and is ready to take you on a crazy shopping spree"
After Sarah left the Sullivan family, she took advantage of their reputation to establish her image as a beauty blogger.
She taught her fans how to do their makeup and how to dress up.She also shared the advantages and disadvantages of various luxury brands and the way to appraise them.
Sarah was somewhat famous online.Sarah silently glanced at her sister from the corner of her eye.
Melody had been back with the Sullivan family for a while now, but she still wore a t-shirt and a pair of boring jeans every day.
Sarah was worried that the students from her school would look down on Melody.She tightened her grip on Melody's arm and marched forward to the nearest shop.
After she received her advertising endorsement fee, she decided that today would be the day she took her sister shopping to buy some clothes for her.
Melody frowned and looked at Sarah with confusion and doubt in her eyes.
Seeing that she was in a daze, Sarah patted her chest and promised her with a confident voice, "Don't worry, I'll make sure that you will look beautiful afterward.I'll personally see to it that you'll end up looking stunning.You are so beautiful.If you don't look the part, your pretty face would be such a waste"
Melody only came along to inform Sarah of Ethan's extramarital affairs so that she could see Ethan's true nature and leave the scumbag as soon as possible.
But at that moment, as she looked at the happy expression on her sister's face, she hesitated.She liked seeing Sarah so happy and carefree.She didn't want this kind of smile to disappear from her face.
As for that Ethan, since he had the audacity to cheat and date two people at the same time, let him pay the consequences for cheating.
Melody snapped herself out of the trance she was in and shook her head fervently to deter Sarah.
"No need.I have clothes!"
She then freed herself from Sarah's grip and turned around to leave.
However, Sarah wasn't planning on giving up without a fight.She rushed forward and clung onto Melody's arm.
Melody turned to glare down at Sarah's hands on her arm.
When Sarah saw how cold Melody's gaze had become, she instantly let go of her arm and stepped back.
Even though she had let Melody go, she was still not willing to give up.
Sarah looked at her with a pitiful expression on her face that she hoped was enough to convince her sister to stay.
"Mellie, I Know you have clothes.But those clothes of yours are too boring.Can I buy you two more?" Sarah said, her lips turning into a pout.
Her eyes fluttered as she desperately tried to convince Melody.
"No, it's a waste of money!" Melody responded in a dismissive tone.
She knew that Sarah's clothes had always been from big and popular brands.
The chief designers would personally handle the production of her clothing down to her socks.
Melody suppressed the urge to shiver at the blatant show of money.
She refused to wear clothes that came from establishments like this luxurious shopping mall.
Unfortunately, Sarah didn't understand what Melody meant.
From what she could understand, Melody was trying to save money for herself.
They all belonged to the same family, but Melody was far more frugal than Charles and Reagan.
Although the Sullivan family was wealthy, all of their wealth was in Grandpa Alistair's hands.
Quince had strict control over his children's spending money.
Other than Sarah, the rest of them were studying and had no other sources of income.
As the youngest of the family, Charles would often find Sarah when he didn't have enough money.
He was never one to hold back whenever he asked for money.
Every time he opened his mouth, he would always ask for at least $15,000.
Even Reagan took a lot of money from her.
Sarah only wanted to buy two pairs of clothes for Melody, but she was worried Sarah would spare no expenses for her sake.
With that thought in mind, Sarah was even more determined to buy clothes for Melody.
She didn't want to come off as biased and treat Melody unfairly.
Sarah pouted more, hoping she could convince her.
"Let's go.Just take it as a favor for me, okay? You know that I'm a beauty blogger, and I often have to wear many different clothes.I'll buy you clothes, and you can be my model.I will only take two photos and share them to my followers, okay?"
Worried that Melody would disagree, Sarah quickly explained, "I know that you don't like your face to be exposed on social media, so I'll just show the clothes.Melody, please help me.Otherwise, I would have no content to post.Can you promise your sister?"
Unable to stand her pleading any longer, Melody nodded her head in resignation.
Sarah's mood immediately brightened afterwards.
Ignoring Melody's disdainful gaze, she hugged Melody's arm and pulled her forward.
Although Sarah's figure was not bad, she was half a head shorter than Melody.
In addition, she knew that she was going shopping today, so she made sure to wear flat shoes.
In this way, when she held Melody's arm, she gave the impression of being cute and lovable.
Sarah was quick to shrug it off.
It couldn't be helped because Melody's aura was too strong.
Although Melody was not very tall, she had a powerful presence.
Sarah pulled Melody up to the third floor, where they could find boutiques selling women's clothing.She didn't want to buy cheap clothes for Melody.If she wanted to buy something, she had to buy from luxury brands.
Sarah thought to herself that even if it was a bit more expensive, she could still try her best to afford to buy Melody some branded clothes.
Sarah pulled Melody into a high-end luxury store.
As soon as they entered the store, the clerk recognized Sarah, "Miss Sarah, there's a new bag recently.You came at the right time.Do you want to take a look?"
Sarah felt her heart clench in pain.
They even had a new bag in the store.
Sarah thought that she must have terrible luck because they had to have the new bag today of all days when she was supposed to be solely focused on Melody.
It was important to know that when a new product was released by a brand-name bag, if you are not a senior customer, the staff of the store would not specifically mention it because those new designs would only be available for the top VIP customers.
They were the sort of things that couldn't be obtained even if they had money.
What a difficult situation! After Sarah eventually got over her pain, she decided to give up on the new product.
She smiled gently.
"No need.I'm not here to see new products today.I'm here to buy clothes for my sister.Are there any new clothes in your shop?"
The situation was proving to be favorable for the store clerk.
How nice it was that they were able to eave the new bags for other customers they knew well and earn sales from Sarah.
With a warm voice, she quickly invited the two of them to the parlor of the boutique.
"The new products are all here.You can tell me which one you like, Miss"
Melody sat on the sofa and pretended to sleep as soon as she entered the door.
Sarah didn't pay her any mind and was focused on picking clothes for her.She now had the chance to show off her sister's beauty.
Sarah rummaged through racks of clothes one after another, but she couldn't choose any of them at all.She thought that Melody would still look good in any of them.But she also felt like these clothes weren't a suitable match for Melody.
Numerous conflicting and complicated feelings crossed Sarah's thoughts brought by the sudden dilemma she faced.
"Miss Sarah, we still have a batch of new first-tier products.Do you want to take a look?"
The store clerk beside her was kind enough to suggest with a smile after she observed Sarah's silent breakdown.
First-tier meant it was expensive.
Sarah was aware of this fact.
However, she was more than determined to buy gorgeous clothes for Melody today, so spending more money was not a problem.
"Sure! Show them to me!"
