As Esther and Juliette walked into the store, the female clerk's face lit up with a smile. However, Chris Shelby, who was carrying bags behind them, was completely ignored by the clerk. In her eyes, Chris Shelby looked like a lackey with his street market clothes.
Upon entering the clothing store, Esther didn't buy anything for herself but instead pointed at Chris Shelby and asked, "Do you have clothes here that would suit him?" The female clerk was taken aback by this request. She had initially thought Chris Shelby was just a lackey, but now it seemed that wasn't the case at all. Esther was not only beautiful but also had a great presence.
Even though Chris Shelby was good-looking, his street market clothes didn't make him look like a wealthy man. Was Chris Shelby just living off his wife's fortune? This thought suddenly crossed the female clerk's mind, and she gave Chris Shelby a strange look.
In truth, the female clerk wasn't wrong. Chris Shelby was indeed living off his wife's fortune. As a pampered son-in-law, what else was he supposed to do? However, Chris Shelby was no ordinary son-in-law; he was the most impressive son-in-law in Amerosia.
When Esther offered to buy clothes for Chris Shelby, he didn't refuse. It was only natural for a wife to buy clothes for her husband. If Chris Shelby had declined, it would have seemed awkward. Seeing Esther buy clothes for Chris Shelby, Juliette immediately exclaimed, "All the clothes he buys will be on my account!"
The female clerk was completely puzzled at this point. Two beautiful women were fighting to buy clothes for Chris Shelby? Both Esther and Juliette were stunning, and it was the first time the clerk had ever witnessed two exceptional beauties fighting over a man to buy clothes for him.
Upon hearing Juliette offer to pay for Chris Shelby's clothes, Esther frowned. As a wife, was it appropriate for another woman to foot the bill for her husband's clothes? Thus, Esther spoke up, "Juliette, there's no need. I'll take care of the bill."
"No, no, no!" Juliette shook her head. "Chris Shelby is like a brother to me, so it's only right for me to pay for his clothes! And I've been staying at your house recently, causing you inconvenience. I would like to show my gratitude."
Esther didn't know how to respond to this. It was reasonable for Juliette to pay for her brother-like figure's clothes, but there was something odd about the situation. Juliette seemed pleased with herself, as she was here to compete for a man. She hoped that Chris Shelby would agree to be her husband.
Juliette's intentions didn't escape Chris Shelby's notice. He retorted, "Get lost, stop causing trouble here. It's none of your business if my wife buys me clothes. Go play by yourself, you little troublemaker!"
For Chris Shelby, he wouldn't accept clothes bought by any woman other than his wife. He knew that if he accepted clothes from Juliette, Esther would be upset. As expected, Esther smiled when she saw Chris Shelby reject the offer.
Over the past few days, Chris Shelby had behaved appropriately. Despite Juliette's advances, he remained faithful to Esther. Juliette was irritated by Chris Shelby's refusal. She had tried hard to win him over, but to no avail. Nevertheless, she remained determined to make Chris Shelby her husband.
The female clerk was completely dumbfounded. Two stunning women were vying to buy clothes for Chris Shelby, but he rejected their offers. This completely overturned her worldview. One of them even claimed to be a princess; it all seemed absurd!
Juliette's face fell upon hearing his rejection. She, a noblewoman, had countless suitors vying for her hand in marriage, yet Chris Shelby showed no interest. Esther paid no mind to the situation. To her, it was simply a joke between Juliette and Chris Shelby. Little did she know that Juliette was actually a princess of Amerosia.
Esther gestured for the female clerk to hurry and select the clothes. "Alright," the clerk responded and picked out a white suit for Chris Shelby. Designed by a renowned international fashion designer, it was the store's masterpiece. Esther approved of the choice without bargaining over the price.
After trying on the suit, Chris Shelby emerged from the fitting room. Esther and Juliette were astounded by his appearance - a six-foot-tall man with a muscular build, clad in a white suit that fit him perfectly. His sharp features exuded masculinity, contrasting with the effeminate men prevalent in the market.
The female clerk, too, was enamored with Chris Shelby's charm. His dashing appearance had captivated everyone present. Upon seeing his confident demeanor, Juliette couldn't contain her excitement. "Chris, you're so handsome, I love you!" she exclaimed. "Chris, will you be my husband? I'll make sure my brother arranges our marriage!"
Chris Shelby rolled his eyes. "Woman, stop fantasizing about marrying me. I have no interest in being your husband!"
Esther paid no heed to Juliette's advances. In her eyes, it was all just a joke. She had no idea that Juliette was the princess of Amerosia.
