Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 894: 265: Offended someone who should not be offended! _2
 

Before returning home, Delia Frieman took out a small-sized makeup mirror from her bag and examined her face carefully. After making sure there was nothing wrong, she pulled out her keys and started locking up.

The door opened from the inside just as her key was about to enter the lock.

It was Dolores Frieman who opened the door.

“Delia, why are you back so late?”

Delia would typically return home by half past eleven at the latest, but it was already past midnight tonight.

Delia was always one to share good news and hide the bad. She smiled and said, “Work has been busy recently, and after work, I thought I’d buy some clothes for you guys.”

“You’ve bought clothes for us, again?” Dolores frowned, “I’ve told you before, we don’t lack clothes. Why do you always spend money recklessly? I don’t want it, take it back!”

In Dolores’s opinion, as long as they had enough clothes to wear, that was fine.

She didn’t chase after beauty and style.

Delia said, “Sis, it didn’t cost much. We may not be wealthy, but rest assured, we can afford to buy clothes.”

Dolores sighed, “Delia, you’re now responsible for our living expenses and rent, and you also buy things for Rachel. The money is really not enough. We have enough clothes for the kids and me, you don’t need to buy more.”

Rachel Barton had come out of her room just in time to hear this, raising her eyebrows imperceptibly.

Yes.

Delia had indeed bought her quite a few things, including nearly 30,000 dollars for her living expenses.

But these items all together would not exceed 100,000 dollars.

Listening to Dolores, it seemed as if she had blown through all of Delia’s money.

Delia could earn seventy to eighty thousand per month.

How much had she actually used?

The fact that Dolores had also opposed the boyfriend Mrs. Neagle had introduced to Delia, made Rachel even more dissatisfied.

She thought Dolores had changed.

She was no longer the same simple-minded sister as before.

The present Dolores was materialistic and selfish.

Despite Delia being able to have a better life, she simply did not want Delia to live better.

Thinking of this, Rachel subtly furrowed her brow.

At this time, Dolores was putting the clothes Delia bought for them back into the bag, “Delia, really, take it back. Everyone talks about a seven-day return period without reason, right? We really do not need this.”

Even though Delia’s salary was indeed high, she couldn’t continue like this.

Moreover, Dolores had noticed that every time Delia bought clothes for their family, she would always forget about herself.

Despite her ability to dress smartly every day, in reality, she only had four outfits that were suitable for going out.

And then two replacement down jackets.

As a sister, Dolores truly felt sorry for her.

She was very grateful to have such a sister.

Hugh Winslet and Theresa Winslet were both very sensible. They looked up at Delia and said, “Aunt Delia, we have enough clothes. And we’re still growing; a lot of the clothes we get this year can’t be worn next year, so buying more is a waste. You should return them.”

Delia stroked the heads of the two children, smiled and said, “You keep the ones I bought for you. Next time, I won’t buy any, ok?”

“Nope.”

Rachel knew Dolores was putting on a show.

It’d have been fine if Dolores was the one saying these words, but it turned out to be two young children.

How old were Hugh Winslet and Theresa Winslet?

Kids their age would normally be obsessed with nice clothes, but now Hugh and Theresa were saying this.

It was clear that Dolores intentionally taught the children to say this.

Because Dolores knew that no matter what she said, Delia would not return these clothes she had already bought.

That way, Dolores could easily get free clothes, and also maintain a good sister image in Delia’s heart.

Killing two birds with one stone.

Why not?

Dolores was really surprising Rachel.

After all, she didn’t even graduate from elementary school.

However, this could prove that cunningness has nothing to do with education level.

Tired of watching Dolores’s act, Rachel looked at Dolores and smiled, “Big sis, since Delia has already bought it, then you and the kids just keep it. After all, it’s Delia’s good intentions. Sometimes having the chance to do something for your family gives you a sense of achievement.”

Hearing this, Delia laughed and said, “Yes, yes, yes, Rachel is absolutely right. I indeed love the feeling of being recognized for my achievements.”

People well-educated are different, they always hit the nail on the head when they speak and behave.

Dolores looked at Delia and frowned, “But these clothes are too expensive.”
