Chapter 55 Check Out

Lucas had purchased the Transformer for Mendes as a reward for his good behavior, which made him surprised and very happy.

The saleswoman smiled brightly after they finished paying the bill. Rachel hesitated for a moment and asked, "How is the woman stirring up trouble?"

The saleswoman's smile disappeared and she shook her head. "I don't know either." She glanced back at the cashier and began to count the bills.

Rachel nodded while Lucas said sympathetically, "It's normal for children to be naughty sometimes. Children must be taught to be obedient. It was unfair that she made things difficult for your colleague."

The saleswoman was a little surprised at what he said. Most customers would were always under the impression that they were right. She still nodded and replied, "Thank you very much for your consideration. I will pass this on to our shop manager."

Lucas nodded.

Mendes just stared at them, oblivious to what had happened.

The saleswoman smiled once again and handed them their purchased items. "Take care! Thank you for shopping here! We hope you come back again!"

Since Lucas was in charge of carrying the bags, Rachel decided to hold Mendes' hand. After exiting the story, Mendes was once again easily distracted by the mall's surroundings.

She sighed and loosened her grip on his arm, reaching out for a pillow instead. Her eyes brimmed with tears as she stated, "I don't want to drink it either. But this afternoon I ran into someone. And she said some mean things to me."

She leaned against the pillow. Her eyes were slightly red and she looked so weak and helpless, which made Jack feel sorry for her.

He reached for the pillow and pulled her into his arms. He sighed deeply, "Who did you meet and what did she say to you?"

Leaning against his chest, Celine played his clothes and lowered her eyes to conceal her true emotions. "I met Rachel in a shop this afternoon. She and I had a confrontation with one another. Something unpleasant happened between us."

"Rachel?" Jack's eye widened, surprise laced in his voice. "What happened?"

"There was a naughty child in the shop. He was holding a toy gun that was filled with paint. When he walked past me, he threw the gun in my direction, making my dress dirty. I was so angry at him because the dress got stained. When I started scolding him, I surprisingly ran into Rachel. She didn't know what was happening and probably misunderstood me. She said mean words to me."
