Chapter 670 A Chance Encounter

Natalia took out her phone and glanced at the screen. A frown creased her face at once.

Laura asked, "What's wrong?"

Natalia said, "Nothing. I have to take this. You go ahead and try this one."

Laura nodded. She watched Natalia go outside to take the call before entering the fitting room.

After stepping out of the store, Natalia answered the call.

Felix was instantly carried into her ear.

"Natalia, I have a favor to ask. Are you available now?"

Natalia knitted her brows. She said crossly, "Felix, I think our friendship has long ended. You can't just call me and ask me for favors."

Felix was not mad when he heard this.

Instead, he chuckled and said, "Don't reject me so soon. Please hear me out. Rest assured. Now I'm asking you for a favor, which can't possibly only benefit me."

Natalia then said nothing.

Felix quickly told her what favor he wanted.

After he was done, Natalia still didn't speak.

After a long while, she finally said, "I can help you with this, but you need to increase the money you just offered by 2%."

Felix didn't sound surprised at this.

He clicked his tongue and said, "Well, is somebody being a bit greedy? Sure, I'll pay more if you want."

After hearing this, Natalia hung up.

But she didn't hurry back to the store.

Instead, she stood there holding her phone. After doing some thinking, she dialed another number.

In the store.

Laura changed into the new dress and came out of the fitting room. Just then, she saw Natalia walk in with a slightly gloomy face. Laura could tell something was on her mind, so she asked with concern, "Natalia, anything wrong?"

Natalia slightly puckered her brows, waved at her, and said, "Everything's fine."

Then, her eyes were riveted on the new dress Laura was wearing. She smiled and said, "You look great in it. Buy this one."

Laura checked her reflection in the mirror.

With her curvy body wrapped in this white mermaid dress, she now looked like a goddess, glowing with elegance.

She nodded and smiled as well. "I also like this one. I'll take this then."

Natalia bobbed her head.

Thus, Laura changed out of the dress and brought it to the counter to make the payment.

The two then walked out of the store with the dress.

Noticing that Natalia seemed laden with anxiety, Laura hesitated for a moment but still asked, "Natalia, are you sure everything's fine?"

Natalia was dazed. She turned around and looked blankly at Laura. Seconds later, she came to her sense.

She smiled and said, "Well, there is actually something."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "How about this? You shop for a while yourself. I'll go handle it. I'll go and join you after I get it done." Laura hurriedly nodded

"Sure. Go ahead. I'll see a few more shops and then head home."

Natalia nodded. She also reminded her to be safe before she left.

After Natalia went away, Laura began to roam about on her own. Shopping alone was quite different from shopping with a friend.

Laura felt bored after rambling for some time by herself. She began to wonder if she should just go home. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure coming her way. "Gentry, you don't have to stay with me all the time. I just felt bored at home, so I went out to take a walk. It's OK," Kristina said to Gentry, who was by her side. Gentry's expression was as detached as always. Yet, the words he said were caring.

"You haven't been here for more than two decades. Eqitin is like a whole new city to you now. You need someone to be there with you."

He paused for moments and then said, "Besides, I have no urgent issues to deal with at the moment, so it's ok to company you for a walk." Now that Gentry insisted, Kristina felt she shouldn't decline his kind gestures, so she didn't say anything more.

The two strolled forward. Suddenly, Kristina caught the sight of Laura and paused in her tracks.

"Mrs. Nixon, what a coincidence? How come you're here, too?"

Laura also felt that the way this world worked was sometimes weird. Some people might never get to know each other if they brushed past. But some could have three encounters with each other in two days. And those encounters were all coincidental.

Laura couldn't help but chortle as well. "Kristina, it's really a coincidence. You're here shopping?" Kristina nodded and replied with a smile, "Yeah. I was bored at home, so I came out to walk around." She paused for a moment to take a look behind Laura. Then, she asked, "Are you here alone?" Laura said, "I was with a friend just now. But she left because of work, so I'm on my own now." Kristina beamed and said, "Shopping alone is not fun. If you don't mind, why not join us?" Gentry frowned subconsciously, attempting to raise an objection.

But Kristina didn't give him the chance. She swiftly took a step forward and held hands with Laura. Laura figured it wouldn't hurt to shop with her.

Laura did feel bored on her own. Plus, she liked Kristina. Therefore, she agreed to shop with her.

As Gentry watched the two walking ahead arm in arm, his face fell, but he didn't try to express disapproval anyway.

With Kristina keeping her company, Laura found the rest of the afternoon much more enjoyable.

Undeniably, Kristina was a very interesting lady. She was pretty, funny, and graceful. It was clear that she had received an excellent upbringing.

Having noticed this, Laura couldn't help but get more curious about Kristina's relationship with her father-in-law.

As she pondered, she and the other two felt tired, so they found a place to have tea.

Then, Laura asked the question that had been bothering her.

"Kristina, you mentioned last time that you know Mr. Chad Nixon. Can you tell me how you know him?"

Kristina was taken aback by this question. She thought for a moment and gave her the answer.

In a bland voice, she said, "He's my brother-in-law."

"Huh?"

Laura had taken a million guesses out of curiosity before she asked the question. However, she never thought that this could be the answer.

She looked at Kristina, mused for a moment, and then knitted her brows.

"But Mrs. Nixon's old surname is McClure. And your surname is Welch. How come..."

Kristina chuckled when she saw Laura's bemused look.

She was so nice and gentle. Laura found no trace of aggressiveness on her. All she exuded was tenderness.

Kristina said softly, "Christine and I are not biological sisters. My parents died when I was little. Later, I was adopted by the McClure family. They were very nice people and allowed me to carry on the name of my birth family. That's why my surname is Welch. But I was raised by the McClure family. This Mrs. Nixon you talked about is the woman I see as a sister."

Laura was dumbstruck when she heard about this.
