Chapter 597

Sunlight streamed through the glass dome of the shopping mall. Vivian Laurent walked side by side with Isabella Langley through the bustling crowd.

Isabella's arms were already laden with shopping bags, her face glowing with satisfaction.

"You might as well buy out the entire floor," Vivian teased.

Isabella sniffed playfully. "Where's the fun in that? I enjoy picking each item carefully."

Her eyes suddenly lit up as she grabbed Vivian's hand. "Since you've decided to keep the baby, I need to start preparing gifts as the godmother."

"Isn't it too early for that?" Vivian shook her head with a smile.

"Not at all!" Isabella exclaimed excitedly. "I'll buy everything for both boys and girls. Maybe we can catch some Black Friday sales too!"

Vivian gave her an exasperated look. "The ultrasound showed just one baby."

"I don't care. I'm going to be the best godmother ever." Isabella pulled her toward the elevator.

They arrived at the maternity section on the third floor. The dazzling array of products made Isabella's head spin.

"These bottles are adorable!"

"We must get the safest stroller!"

"Oh my god, look at these tiny socks!"

Isabella moved through the store like an explorer discovering new territory. A sales associate immediately approached to showcase various products.

"This imported—"

"Take it!"

"Our newest model—"

"Wrap it up!"

Within half an hour, Isabella had spent nearly a million. She reviewed the lengthy receipt with satisfaction before giving the delivery address.

"Send everything to my place first," Vivian whispered. "Ethan visits often."

Isabella nodded in understanding. "Right, we can't let him find out."

As they exited, the display window of a children's boutique caught Isabella's attention.

"Let's check out the kids' clothes!" She dragged Vivian inside.

The store offered everything from infant onesies to stylish elementary school outfits.

While admiring a tiny suit, Vivian suddenly froze.

Near the window seating area, Ethan Roscente sat watching them.

Vivian's heart dropped. There could only be one reason for Ethan to be in a children's clothing store—

"Vivian?" Ethan spotted her and stood up in surprise.

Isabella immediately stepped between them. "Talk about bad luck. Let's go."

Just then, a dressing room door opened.

"Uncle Ethan, how do I like in this?"

The childish voice made Vivian stop dead in her tracks.
