Chapter 1450 Shopping
“Oh, right. We’re having a dinner party tomorrow, so take Jessie to the boutique and pick out an evening gown for her,” Maggie instructed Queenie.
“I will.” Queenie linked arms with Jessie. “Come on! Let’s get some shopping done.”
Jessie was thrilled to go shopping with her sister, and their parents were grinning ear to ear to see their gorgeous girls heading out together.
The maid who was attending to them also started praising, “You’re so fortunate, Mr. and Mrs. Silverstein! Your daughters are so beautiful. I’m sure they’ll find wonderful husbands in the future.”
That was music to Brandon and Maggie’s ears. Now that Queenie had found her life partner, they looked forward to Jessie meeting hers too.
Most women loved shopping, but Jessie never had the guts to step into these sorts of boutiques. It was her first time today, and Queenie kept getting her to try on all of the dresses she had only seen on the hottest actresses. Queenie bought everything that looked good on her.
In the blink of an eye, the two assistants who came out with the two sisters were weighed down by a mountain of shopping bags.
“Queenie, let’s stop. We don’t need to get anything else.”
“Nope, that’s not enough. Let’s continue.” Queenie dragged Jessie off to another boutique and the sisters spent another hour shopping before they went for lunch. After lunch, Queenie brought Jessie to a boutique to try on evening gowns, and once that was over, they stopped by the spa for some pampering before heading back home to get ready for dinner with Julian.
As it was, the situation hadn’t escaped Queenie’s eyes at all. She could tell that Jessie liked Julian but was too afraid to even consider anything due to Julian’s status in society.
Queenie wanted to help Jessie get closer to the man she liked, so she supported Jessie’s acting career. One day, Jessie would reach the pinnacle of success, and she would be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Julian as a highly acclaimed actress in her own right.
By then, Jessie would’ve proven herself, and she would be able to pursue something with Julian.
Therefore, Queenie gave it her all to doll Jessie up for dinner tonight.
When Queenie came down with Jessie, both Brandon and Maggie started tearing up again. This was the happiest they had been in a long time.
“Mom, Dad, we’re ready,” Queenie said.
“Great. Let’s go!”
The family of four drove off happily with Brandon in the driver’s seat, Maggie in the front passenger seat, and the two sisters together in the back.
Nigel had successfully dragged Julian into the car with him. No one knew that the award-winning actor was actually a homebody who had a relatively simple life outside of filming. He was a gifted actor who spent most of his free time playing video games with Nigel, tending to his garden, and staying home with his pets.
“Is there a need to make such a big deal out of thanking me? I didn’t do anything!” Julian felt a little embarrassed.
“You’ll just be holed up at home anyway, so you might as well have dinner with us,” Nigel shot back.
Well, it was true that Julian enjoyed hanging out with his friend.
When they arrived at the hotel, Nigel texted Queenie. The two men had arrived first but the Silversteins were soon arriving too, so the men decided to wait for them at the entrance to the restaurant.
A little while later, Brandon’s car pulled up to the hotel. He parked the car beside Nigel’s and the two beautiful young women stepped out.
Oddly enough, Nigel immediately recognized which one of them was Queenie, and Julian did the same with Jessie as well. Though they looked exactly the same, they had vastly different auras.
Despite being the same age, Queenie gave off an air of maturity, whereas Jessie had a cuter, more youthful air.
Jessie had spotted Julian through the car window earlier. She secretly tried to calm her pounding heart as she didn’t want her parents to notice her reaction. In the past, she thought of him as the unattainable man who was way out of her league, but now, she was going to have dinner with him, and she would even be able to see him often from now on.
The thought of that made her positively giddy!
