Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 807

The woman's curious gaze fell on Elaine.

She was sizing Elaine up with curiosity and disdain.

Finally, she turned to Howard and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it was really you."

Initially, Howard was a little nervous when he saw the woman, but now, he calmed down. "Kiran, why are you here?"

Kiran Fox lifted her hair and walked up to him. "Of course, I'm here to buy cosmetics. Is this your girlfriend?"

Just as Elaine wanted to explain, Howard said, "Does it matter?"

"Oh. Howard, since when did you prefer this kind of innocent-looking girl?" Kiran scoffed.

Saying that, she gave him a meaningful look. "Didn't you always love the curvy kind of women like me?"

Howard just looked at her lightly. "Stop making things more awkward."

"Are you angry?" Kiran stared at him with her beautiful eyes wide open. "How could you get angry at me? Remember how you used to dote on me when we were dating?" "Shut up!"

Now, he was really angry as he glared at her, snapping, "And get the hell out of here."

Kiran snorted. Then, ignoring him, she turned to Elaine. "Girl, how long have you two been dating?"

Puzzled, Elaine didn't understand why she asked.

"Howard's a great guy. We all know that. However, he will never fall in love with you."

"He's been dating different women all these years, but no one has ever got to be with him to the end. He's a playboy. When he gets tired of a woman, he just ditches them."

There was resentment in Kiran's tone.

It seemed that she was one of the women who had been abandoned by Howard, which explained why she got so emotional now.

"He uses the same tricks every time. First, he shows you tenderness, gifts you flowers, and satisfies all your vanity. Easily, you'll fall in love with him... If I'm not mistaken, after he took you here to shop for clothes and cosmetics, he's gonna take you to dinner later, right? You gotta be careful. He treats every woman this way. When you fall in love with him, he's gonna want you to have sex with him. And once he gets that, everything's gonna be over."

Meanwhile, Howard's face turned sullen. However, his upbringing wouldn't allow him to hit a woman.

So he could only sneer and say to Elaine, "How are you still listening?"

Hearing that, Elaine was puzzled. "Huh?"

"This woman is full of bullsh*t. I can't stand it anymore," Howard said icily, "Elaine, go and shut her up, will you?"

Nevertheless, Elaine just looked surprised.

She didn't know what to say.

On the other hand, Kiran looked a little scared. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"What? You're finally afraid now?" Howard gave out a cold laugh.

Stepping back, Kiran stammered, "Wh- who told you I'm afraid? I was just telling the truth. Howard, you've broken so many women's hearts and you're gonna pay the price! You'll end up being lonely!"

Eventually, Howard got frustrated and rolled up his sleeves, ready to teach Kiran a lesson.

Seeing that, Kiran screamed and ran away.

In the meantime, Elaine stopped him. "Dr. Perkins, don't."

With a black look, he took a deep breath.

Later, Howard still looked quite upset when he went to pay the bill.

Since Elaine didn't know how to comfort him, she decided to keep quiet.

However, after the interlude, the shop assistants were staring at Howard with meaningful looks.

Howard let out a cold laugh and left with the shopping bags.

Quickly, Elaine followed.

Coming out of the mall, Howard strode forward at a fast pace, so she could only trot along in silence.

Suddenly, he stopped and turned back with an ashen look. Catching off guard, Elaine ran into him.

He held her up and demanded, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

She rubbed her head and asked back, "What do you want me to say?"

"Ask me who that woman is and if what she said is true!" He glared at her.

Elaine looked surprised. "Well, isn't that your exgirlfriend?"

As for the credibility of that woman's words, she was not bothered at all since it was Dr. Perkins's private affairs.

Howard seemed to have choked on her words.

Abruptly, Elaine laughed. "Dr. Perkins, I don't believe in that woman's words. You're such a good man. How could you be playing with women's feelings? I know she's just trying to drive a wedge between us."

At the end of her speech, she even winked at him.

Howard didn't know what to say.

Looking at her, his gaze became deep and complicated. He pursed his lips slightly.

Under the dim light, they were studying each other silently.

Finally, Elaine patted her belly and said, "Dr. Perkins, how long are you still gonna stand here? I'm getting hungry."

Howard sighed. "Girl, can't you think of something else other than food?"

"Like what?"

"Like what I told you before I went on the business trip. What are your thoughts now?"

"I'm starving. Let's go get supper."

Sneering, Howard gave her a glance. "Wait until we buy you some clothes first."

Elaine was choked speechless.

In the clothing store, Howard asked the staff to pick out a dress for her.

"Go change it."

Getting the dress, he pushed her into a fitting room.

After Elaine had entered the fitting room, Howard sat on the sofa with a sullen look.

However, he was only acting like this to hide his nervousness and guilt.

What Kiran said earlier was true and he was afraid that Elaine would misunderstand him.

Thus, he could only act this way to deal with the situation.

A while later, Elaine came out of the fitting room in a knee- length dress. The tapered waistline had brought out her tiny waist and her straight legs. She looked extremely gorgeous upon dressing up.

Her black hair was hanging down loosely, and the pink dress made her look lovely.

Howard loved the way she looked now—her figure and the uncomfortable look on her face.

Nevertheless, he had never imagined that one day, he would fall in love with someone.

He liked Elaine a lot.

Seeing that Howard was sitting still, Elaine pulled the hem of her skirt and asked, "Dr. Perkins, does it not look good?" "Ahem." Howard stood up and shook his head.

"No, it looks really good on you. Let's get this one."

Saying that, he was about to take her out. "Now, let's go have dinner."

Quickly, Elaine said, "Wait! My clothes are still in the changing room!"

"Ah, those are worn clothes. You could just throw them away."

"No! They're not that worn yet!" Elaine then ran to the staff and requested, "Hello, could you put my clothes into a bag please?"

The staff smiled and said, "Sure, please bear with me for a moment."

Taking the shopping bag, Elaine followed Howard into a restaurant. The waiters in the restaurant were speaking a foreign language.

No wonder Howard made her dress decently. It turned out that he wanted to take her to a high-end restaurant for dinner.
