The next day morning, Edmund arrived right on time at Arthur’s home entrance.
Seeing a woman in a black dress carrying a small bag walk out, Edmund smiled mysteriously.
After all, he did request that Elspeth wear a black dress, yet he did not think that she would actually do it.
This put him in a good mood.
Just as Elspeth placed her hand on the car door handle, Edmund rolled down the window and looked at her teasingly.
“What are you looking at?”
Elspeth raised her eyebrows, accompanied by a straightforward tone.
“I knew that you looked better in black. Those white dresses that you used to wear could not accentuate your elegance.”
Elspeth smirked. “Aren’t you a fashionista.”
Not arguing with her, Edmund drove away as soon as she got in.
Soon, they reached a shopping mall.
Since the national day was near, a lot of people were gathered there, and it made Elspeth look at him with a frown. “Why are we here?”
“Do you still remember we came to the mall on our very first outing together?”
Edmund seemed to be reminiscing and lamenting at the same time.
It was when she first came to the Winthrop Family… Father wanted five of us to accompany her to the mall to shop for clothes.
“Don’t tell me you’re about to spend the whole day going down memory lane, are you?”
Edmund shook his head. “That would be too much. I won’t do that.”
Too much?
In Elspeth’s memories, she and Edmund barely interacted before. Normally, they would only greet each other and exchange a bit of banter if they met.
