In Love, Never Say Never

“Aren’t we going home?” I asked.

“No.” Ashton elaborated with a neutral expression, “Let Summer and Audrey shop for new clothes. Children enjoy the process of selecting clothes in malls.”

Finding his words reasonable, I didn’t object and went to the mall with them.

Audrey was the happiest one. As soon as we entered a high-end clothing store, she tugged John along with her and expertly maneuvered her way to the princess section, wanting to try on every dress there.

Ashton followed behind silently and explained in a justified manner, “I just don’t trust John’s fashion sense.”

He’s obviously jealous.

No one exposed him despite it being clear as day. With knowing smiles on our faces, we watched the three of them walk further in.

Come to think of it, I was quite rusty in selecting clothes. Being brought her so abruptly and without Ashton by my side, I lost my confidence. The last time I picked clothes for Summer was six years ago, and a lot could change in that amount of time. Would my taste still suit hers?

While I was doubting myself, someone linked arms with me. Turning around, I saw that it was Summer. As she leaned against me affectionately, she set her sights on the women’s clothing section a distance away. “Mommy, let’s go over there. I saw something I like.”
