President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 211

I thought for a moment. As expected, November 24 was Daisy’s birthday.

Time flied. A year passed.

“No problem. I have money now, so I will give you presents.” I replied with a smile.

“OK!”

I talked to Daisy for a while and hung up.

But after I hung up, I couldn’t help feeling a little upset.

What should I give her?

When I got home, I sat in front of the computer and searched the Internet. I heard someone behind me saying, “what kind of gifts do career women like?”

I was scared!

I turned and saw Sean in a suit stooping behind me. He was staring at the screen.

“Whose birthday?”

Sean straightened up and asked me as he untied his tie.

“Daisy.” I was not going to hide it from him.

“Oh.” Sean was silent for a moment. “It depends on you. If you want to go out and buy presents, I’ll accompany you.”

I searched the Internet for a long time. The opinion of many people was that the heart of a woman was soft. Those women who seemed to be strong were only armed with thick armor.

They didn’t want to be seen as weak.

So there was no need to treat them differently.

I had some ideas after reading it. Maybe Daisy liked what I liked.

In fact, the gifts I had given Daisy over the years were suitable for her. Most of them were based on my guess.

A bag was the best gift for a woman.

Because of me, Sean carefully chose to accompany me to buy presents for daisy on Monday.

We went shopping and saw a lot of top brand bags.

Each one seemed to have some shortcomings. Finally, I decided to buy a red bag with chain.

When I wanted to pay, I happened to pass a counter with a pair of beautiful sequined high heels.

This pair of high-heeled shoes had different colors at the front and back.

The first time I saw it, I knew in my mind that it was suitable for Daisy!

As I returned the bag and showed Sean the shoes, I heard a man shouting, “Sean!”

Although I hadn’t heard the voice for a long time, I could recognize it.

Jack.

It was strange that I hadn’t seen Jack for a long time, but this time I came out to buy a gift for Daisy and met him.

Did it mean that they have a special fate?

When I was thinking, I looked up and saw Jack standing not far away. There was a woman around him holding his arm.

In an instant, all my thoughts disappeared.

When they got closer, the woman saw the high-heeled shoes in my hand and said, “Wow, Jack, I like these shoes, too.”

“OK, buy it.” Jack said bluntly and said to the salesman, “bring her the same pair of shoes.”

Instead of going to the warehouse, the salesman went straight up and said, “I’m sorry, sir. This pair of shoes is limited in the world and this one in the lady’s hand is the last one.”

“Jack...”

As soon as the salesman said that, the woman began to shake Jack’s arm and her eyes were pitiful.

Jack seemed to like her very much. He looked at me and flattered me. “June, are you going to wear the shoes?”

“No, I will give it to someone else.”

I told the truth.

As soon as I said that, Jack immediately had the confidence, “June, since you want to give gifts to others, it’s the feelings rather than the gifts that matter, right?”

Yes.” I didn’t deny it.

Jack nodded. “My dear loves these shoes, and your friend certainly didn’t tell you that she must have them as gifts, did she?”

“Yes.”

I nodded.

At this time, the woman next to Jack looked very excited.

She thought I was going to agree and Jack was about to pay.

She looked at the shoes in my hand and said happily, “can I try it on first? If I don’t like it, you can buy it.”

“No way.” I refused decisively.

“You!” The woman wanted to lose her temper but when she saw Sean, she was scared. Then she looked at Jack, “Honey...”

I put the shoes behind me and said with a smile, “Jack, can I ask you a question? If you’re right, I’ll consider giving her the shoes.”

“OK!”

Jack was excited.

“What’s her full name?”

As soon as I asked this question, Jack’s face was as stiff as I expected.

Sean next to me chuckled.

The woman seemed to realize it, too, “Jack, you...”

“I know!” Jack looked at the woman and took two deep breaths. At last he just said, “dear.”

“Can’t you remember her name?” Sean helped me. He raised his hand and held me by the shoulder. “I remember the name of my dear very well.”

“Sean.” Jack took a helpless look at Sean.

At this time, the woman was really angry. She released Jack’s arm and put her hands on her chest and said, “Jack, you can’t remember my name! If you don’t buy me the shoes, I won’t forgive you.”

She was relieving the embarrassment.

Jack had a lot of lovers. They must want his money.

She didn’t care if Jack remembered her name.

“OK, I’ll buy it!” Jack didn’t want to make this woman angry and looked at me, “June, June!”

I looked at Jack and smiled, “Jack, do you know who I’m going to give these shoes to?”

“Who?”

“Daisy’s birthday is coming. This is my birthday present for her.”

When I mentioned Daisy, Jack’s expression immediately changed. He said without hesitation, “June, you can take the shoes.”

The woman was stunned. “Jack.”

“There are a lot of shoes here. You don’t have to buy this pair of shoes.”

I didn’t know if it was my illusion. After I mentioned Daisy, Jack’s attitude towards the woman changed a lot.

“But I like this pair. You promised to buy it for me.” Jack was impatient when the woman said that.

He ignored her and flattered me, “June, I didn’t know Daisy’s birthday is coming. Now that I know it, I will definitely give her a present.”

“You don’t have to.”

I took the shoes and was going to pay.

Jack followed me, “June, you can tell me if you need help later, but don’t tell Daisy what happened today!”

“All right, go and coax your dear.”

Sean couldn’t help but speak at last.

I bought the shoes and went home. I thought it was over.

I didn’t expect that the next day, when Sean returned home, he brought back two exquisite small boxes.
