Edith immediately noticed Lily's vehicle the moment she stepped out of the class. She walked over, slid into the passenger's seat, and glanced at the back seat only to find them empty. "Alex is not coming with you?" 

A chuckle escaped her. "Do you think the place where we're going is suitable for me to bring my son along? Relax. Ethan is at home to babysit him. They should be spending their quality times building model."

"Where are you taking me?"

"Let's go to the mall in the eastern district. I know a good shop over there."

Edith nodded and let her friend decide. The two of them chatted in the car and finally reached the mall after almost forty minutes' drive. It was the weekend. The traffic was pretty bad and it took them some time before they could find a parking spot.

As soon as they entered the mall, Lily dragged her friend to a lingerie shop before Edith could change her mind. 

A female salesperson greeted them and her eyes brightened the moment she saw Lily. "Mrs. He, we haven't seen you for a while. What do you need this time? Do you want to look at the new arrivals? They have just arrived this week." 

From the salesperson's words, Edith quickly found out that her friend was the shop's loyal customer.

Lily laughed. "This time, I need you to find something for my friend." She grabbed at Edith's hand and pulled her closer. "Miss Yu, what do you think about my friend?"

The salesperson called Miss Yu gave Edith a look over. After a while, she inched closer and spoke, "Please excuse my rudeness." 

Just as soon as the words fall, Edith stood straight rigidly as the salesperson had put her hand on her body, feeling her curve under her shirt. After a while, the salesperson took a step back with an amused expression on her face.

"I can think of a few styles that would look good on your friend," the salesperson said and turned around excitedly.

"Are you alright?" Lily asked upon noticing that her friend had stood without moving. She then cocked her head sideways and smiled. "The salesperson was only trying to figure out your size. Do you need to be this surprise?"

Edith quickly recovered upon hearing her friend's teasing. "Lily Zhao, I did not think that you would be a frequent customer of this place."

"I've told you that the garment is essential. It was helpful to keep things spiced up between Ethan and me."

Edith put both hands on her ears. "God. I don't want to hear anything about you and Ethan."

Lily laughed again. Then, she inched closer and copied what the salesperson had tried to do to Edith a while ago, causing her friend to gasp in surprise.

"What's wrong with you?" Edith crossed her hands on her chest and took a few steps back.

She had let her guard down because Lily was the person she trusted. In the end, she was taken advantage of… twice. Why does everyone like to touch her chest?

Lily let out a sigh as she continued to give Edith a look over. "You have a great figure. It's too bad that you have to wear something loose and hide those curves."

After working as a kindergarten teacher for years, Edith had this habit to wear loose clothes. The first few months of working, there would be a few naughty kids who would suddenly touch her chest. At least, with loose clothing, her curve was hidden and the kids would not tease her and touch where they were not supposed to touch.

The salesperson came back at this time and showed them a few styles. Lily glanced at her friend again and helped to choose a few styles.

"You must be crazy if you think I'm going to wear them," Edith said as she eyed the garments. She had seen a few lingerie and nightdress before, but none of them was as revealing as the one in Lily's hand. 

Edith raised one of the lingerie where the area on the chest was covered with nothing but laces. Her heart jumped and her face turned red. Before she was able to throw that piece of garment away, Lily had stopped her and explained about various types and functions of those delicate and flimsy dresses.

In the end, Edith walked out of the shop with a reddened face. She shoved the paper bag from that store into her knapsack and made a promise never to go with Lily to this kind of shop again.

"Why don't you get anything?" Edith asked upon seeing that her friend had walked out with an empty hand. 

Being friends with Lily for years, Edith was used to hearing Lily talked about her plan to seduce her husband from the moment they were in a steady relationship years ago. All this time, Edith was stuffed with dog food and had grown immune to them.

Lily heaved a long sigh. "It's not good to make Ethan too excited."

Sensing that something was not right from her words, Edith then asked, "What's wrong?" 

Lily turned with a mysterious smile on her face. "Well, this is supposed to be a secret. But since you're my best friend, then, I'll tell you my secret." She let out a giggle, leaned closer, and then whispered, "I'm pregnant."

Edith stared back at her friend with her mouth ajar. Then, a bright smile curved on her face. "Congratulations!"

She had always known that Lily had wanted to have a second child and the couple has been trying for a while.

"We went to check with the doctor last week I should be on the twelve weeks." Lily patted at her flat stomach. "I hope this time, we'll be having a daughter. Or else, I might really have to consider kidnapping Hazel to my home."

After walking around to shop for a few more things, Lily dropped her over at the apartment and left.

Edith heaved a sigh when there was no one at home when she arrived.

Since she was planning to head out with Lily, Neil decided to stop by his office with Hazel and settle with a few of his work. An employee was going to return from their overseas branch and Neil wanted to prepare for that employee's return.

Seeing that the line was clear, Edith went into her bedroom to hide the garments away. Fortunately, the garments were very light and easy to hide. Edith only had to pray that Auntie Emma was not going to find them when she cleaned up the room later.

Once everything was done, Edith changed her clothes and went into the kitchen to prepare for dinner. When Neil returned, Edith was surprised to see that he had brought home the guest who was supposed to come last night.

Neil glanced at his friend and sighed. "Sorry.. He insisted to come over and have dinner here."
