Chapter 53 Hannah Felt like a Slap in Her face
Just before Hannah was about to fall into Curtis' arms, Curtis quickly maneuvered his wheelchair, deviating from Hannah's plan.
Bang!
Hannah fell straight to the ground.
The sound was clearly painful, but it brought immense satisfaction to Adeline and Melissa!
At this moment, Steffen looked at her warily and asked, "Who are you? Why did you attack Mr. Riley?"
As he spoke, he asked the salesgirl for a pair of disposable gloves, put them on, and swiftly pinned Hannah's hand behind her back, subduing her on the ground.
"Speak! Who sent you to attack Mr. Riley?"
Hannah was in great pain all over her body, and now her hand was being pinned. She wanted to curse.
What kind of person was this?
Who would dress like this to attack someone?
But she still wanted to seduce Curtis, so she held back her curses and spoke gently, "Mr. Riley, don't you remember me? I'm Adeline's colleague's sister. I have been to your house before."
"Oh." Curtis responded indifferently, focusing on the handbag in his hands.
Seeing this, Hannah raised her tone again, "Ah~ It hurts, it hurts."
She moaned alluringly, deliberately trying to seduce him, which caused the salesgirl to roll her eyes.
Hannah knew that men fell for this act, so after a few more moans, she fluttered her eyelashes and looked at Curtis, "Mr. Riley, I just stumbled and didn't mean to attack you intentionally. Can you ask your subordinate to let me go?"
Curtis raised his hand expressionlessly, and Steffen released Hannah. However, he took off the disposable gloves in front of her, throwing them into the trash can with a disdainful expression.
Hannah's face froze, and she secretly glared at Steffen.
She was still a nightclub beauty, but she had never been looked down upon like this before!
These traditional men didn't know how to appreciate her!
Suppressing her inner complaints, Hannah approached Curtis warmly, "Mr. Riley, are you choosing a handbag for Adeline? Since we had such a fortuitous encounter today, how about I recommend a few handbags suitable for Adeline's age from a woman's perspective?"
As she spoke, Hannah casually pointed at a handbag, "How about this one? It goes well with anything and suits Adeline."
Curtis glanced at the handbag Hannah pointed to, his expression indifferent as he looked at her, "How old is my wife?"
Hannah was taken aback, never expecting Curtis to ask such a question.
What question was this?
Before she could even figure out how to respond, she heard Curtis' deep voice tinged with disdain.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"My wife doesn't need something versatile. As her husband, I have the ability to provide her with handbags in different colors to match her clothes. Moreover, she can carry any handbag in this store. These handbags should feel honored to be in her hands!"
Hannah's face stiffened slightly as she saw Curtis pointing at the handbag she recommended and looking towards the salesgirl.
The salesgirl quickly put on a pair of white gloves and walked towards the handbag Hannah had pointed to.
Hannah's expression relaxed slightly. She thought to herself that this man was playing hard to get, huh!
She opened her lips to speak and was about to highlight the features of that handbag to Curtis, but then she saw Curtis raise his hand, dismissively saying, "I don't want this handbag, and please pack up all the handbags in this section."
Hannah and the salesgirl were instantly dumbfounded.
All the handbags in this section?
There were hundreds of them!
Even the cheapest ones cost over a hundred thousand each!
And now he was casually waving his hand, buying all the handbags in the entire display cabinet?!
The salesgirl clearly had never encountered this situation before and asked multiple times, "Sir, are you sure you want all the handbags in this section?"
"Yes," Curtis nodded nonchalantly and spoke deliberately, "Is there a problem?"
The salesgirl felt like she could see a substantial bonus waving at her, so she quickly smiled and responded, "No problem! No problem!"
At this moment, Adeline couldn't avoid it any longer and rushed out, intercepting the salesgirl, "My husband is just joking. Wait a moment, and please don't pack them. Let me talk to my husband first."
After speaking, Adeline pushed Curtis aside and spoke with a slightly reproachful tone, "Why do you want to buy so many handbags? It's such a waste of money! We can't live like this."
It was the first time Curtis had been scolded, and he felt a bit uncomfortable. He lowered his head, suppressing his previous domineering aura, and explained with a touch of grievance, "She was mocking you... I just wanted to tell her that you don't need something versatile, and you can carry any handbag."
Upon hearing this, Adeline's face froze.
She hadn't considered that Curtis simply wanted to stand up for her and buy so many handbags.
Well, this kind of approach was quite like Mr. Riley's style!
Adeline's heart warmed slightly, as she looked at Curtis' awkward appearance, feeling both amused and sympathetic.
She half-squatted down, gently communicating with Curtis, just like she would talk to her students in her office.
"I know you're angry, and I know you did this for my sake. But if we want to live our lives, we can't be as willful as you. We need to spend money wisely."
Adeline hadn't forgotten that Curtis had previously mentioned that he was a little tight on funds and would make up for the dowry later.
Curtis muttered, feeling down, "If it were me before, I would have bought the entire store."
Adeline was speechless.
"And besides, I don't want to live a regular life."
Adeline's eyes widened in an instant.
"I want to pursue a girlfriend. My friend taught me that if you give a girl a handbag every day, you can win her over."
Adeline was both angry and amused, thinking about what kind of friends Curtis had!
At the right time, Curtis gestured to Steffen.
Steffen hurriedly walked over, lowering his voice, and said, "Mrs. Riley, actually, this store belongs to Mr. Doyle. The handbags here are relatively valuable, even second-hand ones are worth a lot of money. Mr. Doyle had previously owed Mr. Riley the project payment and refused to pay it back. Mr. Riley also wants to recover some of the losses."
Upon hearing that the handbags were valuable, Adeline thought of Owen's arrogance earlier and instantly stood up straight. She said to the salesgirl, "Please wrap up everything you just mentioned, and also the handbags over there!"
Hannah widened her eyes, and she was completely dumbfounded!
The result of this couple's communication was to buy the handbags over there too!
Hannah was almost jealous!
Seeing Curtis and Adeline's sweet appearance was truly annoying to her, so she calmly left the luxury store.
Melissa saw this and called out, "Hey, aren't you Amber's sister? Did you drop something?"
Hannah thought it was true and turned her head to look at the ground, only to find nothing. She then looked at Melissa in confusion.
Melissa couldn't hide her amusement and smiled openly, "Your dignity! Your dignity has fallen all over the ground. Won't you pick it up before leaving?"
Hannah instantly felt her cheeks burning and gave Melissa a fierce glare before turning away.
When she walked out of the store, she sneezed because of the temperature difference.
People around her saw her dressed so lightly and thought she was crazy.
Where did this shameless woman come from, wearing a camisole dress in the middle of winter?
Hannah quickly put on her fur coat and fled in embarrassment.
Melissa felt so satisfied in her heart!
Curtis couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Adeline thought he was making fun of Hannah and asked in surprise, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm happy," Curtis raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Happy?"
"Yeah, I'm happy to spend money for my wife," Curtis' mouth curved up as he looked at Adeline, "I wonder if Ms. Burton is satisfied with this answer?"
Adeline felt her cheeks burning and felt a bit attracted by Curtis.
Who said this guy couldn't date? He's pretty good at it, wasn't he?!
Lowering her head to hide her unusual expression, Adeline said, "I won't talk to you anymore. We need to go back to school."
Saying that, Adeline hastily pulled Melissa away.
After walking a few steps, she received a WhatsApp message from Curtis.
"Mrs. Riley, have you figured out how you want to date? My friend has provided a few options. How about you choose one?"
