Chapter 308 Chance Encounter

After sampling the bread briefly, William asked Bella, “Are you here to invite me to your friend’s wedding?”

Hearing William’s question, Bella slowly raised her head, cautiously glanced at Alice, then set down her knife and smiled, “I did have that idea, but let’s not.”

William could hear how Alice had been speaking with Bella outside. Without looking at Alice, he said, “It’s fine, I can go.”

“Um…” Bella sneakily glanced at Alice again, only to see Alice behaving like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to lift her head and just focusing on her food, not saying a word.

This hardly seemed like a normal couple’s relationship.

Bella suddenly felt that things were becoming interesting again.

Alice’s behavior earlier was akin to a small dog guarding its food, even seemingly declaring her sovereignty.

But it was clear that William had not acknowledged her as his “girlfriend.”

“Then let’s go together.” Bella didn’t have any other thoughts about William; she was just curious to know what charm William had that could make the little princess of the Turner family lower her stance so much.

“After breakfast, I’ll accompany you to buy a suit since it’s a formal occasion,” Bella said with a twinkle in her eye. “Consider the suit a gift from me, your boss.”

Surprisingly, William did not refuse but instead smiled in response, “The boss is really generous.”

Alice continued to cut her bread silently, without speaking. From her expression, it was evident that she was not in a good mood.

“Are you finished eating? Once you’re done, we’ll head out to buy the clothes. It will take some time.” William, having finished his meal, put down his utensils and said, “Let’s go.”

Finally unable to hold back, Alice looked up and said, “I want to go too!”

“Then you should wash the dishes first,” William said gently. After breakfast, someone needed to clean up.

“Okay, wait for me!” Alice quickly started gathering the utensils and took them to the kitchen to wash.

Bella could hardly believe her eyes. The little princess of the Turner family was actually washing dishes herself? She really wanted to ask William how he managed to do that.

Alice was quick with her task; it only took her a few minutes to clean everything up. She then came out with her purse, lifted her chin confidently, and said, “Let’s go! I need to buy some clothes too.”

Letting another woman choose clothes? That wouldn’t do.

“We’ll go together,” Bella said, not wanting to exclude Alice.

They had just stepped out of the yard when Amy, carrying two cartons of milk, wobbled over to them. It was the time when children were usually getting ready for school.

“Here! Mr. Johnson, have some milk.” Amy was drinking a carton of milk herself and handed another to William. 𝘦𝑎.𝒸ℴ

William accepted the milk without hesitation, commenting, “You should be getting ready for class.”

Amy rolled her eyes at him and said, “It’s Saturday today.”

“Oh, then do you want to come with us to the party?”

Although the little girl could be mischievous at times, William found the idea of taking a child along more appealing than shopping with two women.

Amy looked up at William, “You’ll have to ask my mom.”

Attending a party with delicious food – what child like Amy would refuse? She was just worried her mother might not allow her to go.

“Alright, let’s go, I’ll talk to your mom,” William said and extended a finger, which Amy tacitly grabbed. They walked towards her mother’s stall.

Alice followed closely behind, while Bella drove her car towards the street corner.

After William spoke with Maria, he took Amy and got into the car.

Both Bella and Alice were wealthy, so the places they shopped at were not ordinary stores.

Their car stopped in front of Bergdorf Goodman, a famous luxury department store in New York City. Bergdorf Goodman is a renowned high-end department store, spanning from the first to the ninth floor, featuring top fashion brands from around the world. It’s not just clothing they offer, but also shoes, accessories, beauty products, and home decor, making it a symbol of fashion and luxury.

For William, this was his first time shopping in such a place. He didn’t show much interest in the expensive designer products. To him, neither the craftsmanship nor the materials seemed particularly special, at least not up to his expectations.

“William, try this one on, and this one too…” Bella took William into a designer men’s clothing store. Although she was shopping for William, she was quite excited.

For women, the focus of shopping is never just on the items, but on the process itself.

William, not bothering to choose for himself, casually pointed at a suit Bella had picked out and said, “This one! No need to try the others!”

“No way! I’m buying you a suit too.” Alice wouldn’t stand for it. Why should Bella, the busty one, get to buy clothes for William?

The sales staff, maintaining a professional smile, couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise in their eyes. This young man was truly unusual, having two ladies competing to pick clothes for him. And the two suits Bella was holding were obviously expensive.

“Up to you. You take care of Amy first, I’m going to try on this suit.” William picked up the first suit selected by Bella and headed towards the fitting room.

The suit fit William perfectly. When he stepped out wearing it, the store’s sales staff couldn’t help but give him a few extra glances. In fact, judging by William’s usual attire, he appeared more like an ordinary student. Logically, a suit might have made him look too mature, not really matching his temperament.

However, to everyone’s surprise, William looked comfortably natural in the suit. He seemed to have the perfect build for clothing, making anything he wore look exceptionally fitting.

Wearing the suit Bella had chosen, William resembled a suave and distinguished gentleman.

“Belt, wallet, tie, try them all on.” In just a short while, Alice had gathered a complete set of accessories for William.

“And shoes! Get a pair of leather shoes.”

Bella watched from the side. Alice really was putting in the effort, showing her seriousness in this matter.

Leaving the store, Bella didn’t bring up anything in particular, but Alice began leading William to a watch shop.

“A man must have a good watch.” Alice hadn’t had the opportunity to shop with William before, but now that they were out, she was determined to fully equip him.

As they talked, they arrived at the entrance of a Rolex store.

At that moment, Brian Bell, accompanied by a young man, also reached the doorway.

Bella quickly hooked her arm through William’s and called out, “Dad, what are you doing here?”

“Hmm? Bella?” Brian Bell was slightly taken aback, his gaze lingering on William for a moment before turning to the young man beside him, his expression turning a bit sour.
