Chapter 641 You're Nothing But A Stranger To Me Now
At the shopping mall.
Nina tried on one outfit after another but did not find one that she liked.
It was rare that Nina was so excited over shopping, and so she did not disturb her. She sat on the couch, feeling
rather bored.
Half an hour later, the sales clerk was still recommending clothes for Nina.
Bianca strolled over to the men’s section nearby.
She saw an elegant black windbreaker on display and reached out to touch it.
An observant sales clerk noticed her. She quickly walked up to Bianca and asked eagerly, "Madam, are you planning
to buy it for your husband? This is the latest limited edition design, and it looks very well on tall men. How tall is
your husband?" "He is six-foot-four and weighs 160 pounds," Bianca answered without thinking.
The sales clerk opened her mouth wide. "Wow, your husband is probably a model! You're beautiful, Madam, and I
believe your husband must be handsome too. The windbreaker must look good on him."
Bianca smiled. The string of zeros on the price tag was a few times her monthly salary.
However, she bought it without hesitation. Luke liked clothes of that style.
The sales clerk processed Bianca's purchase. Looking at the way she swiped her card, the sales clerk could tell that
Bianca was wealthy but kept a low profile. She brought Bianca to the women's section and continued to introduce
the newest designs.
"Do you want to buy some clothes for yourself, Madam? We have some new designs for maternity clothes, and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthere's one that suits you..."
Bianca wagged her hand at the sales clerk while touching her stomach with her other. "There's no need, thanks. I
have enough clothes at home. I'll also be delivering the baby next month, so there's no point in buying too many
maternity clothes." "How about these designs? They're suitable for women who have just delivered a baby..." The
sales clerk was persistent. She continued to introduce other designs for Bianca.
"I’m good, thanks." Bianca tactfully declined.
As a woman, Bianca naturally loved beautiful clothes. However, the clothes there were not cheap. She did not
hesitate to buy clothes for her man, but she would think twice before buying clothes for herself.
Perhaps that was how it felt to be in love. One would give their everything for the other party.
Nina did not buy anything. The clothes were too expensive, and she was only trying them out for fun.
After they got out of the shopping mall, Nina brought Bianca to a restaurant.
Bianca did not expect to meet Xavier there.
While Xavier walked over, Bianca was looking at the traffic outside thinking of something.
She came to her senses when Nina gently tugged her elbow.
She was slightly surprised.
The Xavier Tanner in front of her looked like a different person. He was just as handsome as before, but there was a
difference to his bearing. Instead of being carefree, he seemed to be reserved and taciturn.
Bianca could never forget the harm that Xavier did to her.
She looked at him wordlessly and did not know what he was thinking.
Xavier sat down opposite the two women.
Nina knew what Xavier did to Bianca. She did not hide her displeasure toward him, but Xavier was not bothered.
He stared at Bianca's bulging stomach and said, "You're delivering soon, right?" "Mm, there's about fifty more days
to the expected delivery date." Bianca smiled gently whenever her baby was mentioned.
It seemed as though she was enveloped by a warm light that made her holy and dazzling.
"Congratulations that you've found the happiness you want. Do you still hate me?" Xavier said with much difficulty.
Bianca smiled gently. "I used to hate you, but I don't feel anything now. We are but strangers to each other now,
and there's no point in hating a stranger."
Indeed, Bianca had hated Xavier to the bone. If not for him, there would not be so many obstacles between her and
Luke. However, as time passed and Bianca and Luke became more intimate, the hatred toward Xavier lessened.
She was immersed in the bliss of her husband's love every day, and she did not have the spare time to hate
someone whom she had removed from her life.
Bianca's words made Xavier's heart wrench.
He had cared for her so much, but she had treated him as a stranger.
There was nothing more ironic than that.
At the same time, in a VIP private room.
The important figures from the Tanner and Lerche families were gathered there to discuss Xavier and Melissa's
arranged marriage.
Exquisite dishes and fine alcohol filled the table.

Halfway through lunch, Xavier said that he wanted to step out for a smoke. Now that lunch was almost over, he had
not returned yet.
The people from the Lerche family were not happy, especially Mr. Lerche.
He had too much to drink, and the displeasure was obvious on his face." What's going on? We're here to discuss our
children's wedding, so where's
Xavier? Doesn't he know any manners?"
Mrs. Lerche, decked out in luxurious jewelry, was also unhappy. "Xavier is neglecting our daughter even before the
marriage. How do you think he'll treat her after they're married? I think we ought to reconsider the marriage...
Daniel and Lacey were shocked by Mr. Lerche's display of anger but dared not say anything.
They dared not offend the much wealthier Lerche family.
Daniel poured a glass of alcohol for Mr. Lerche and tried to flatter him." Don't be angry, Mr. Lerche. I'll scold Xavier
later. Here, bottoms up. Let's not ruin the mood because of a minor issue."
Mr. Lerche did not take the glass, which made Daniel rather embarrassed.
Melissa was afraid that her father might call off the engagement in a fit of rage. She said worriedly, "Dad, Xavier is
an adult, and he won't go missing. He must be delayed by something. I'll go and look for him."
Then, she rushed out of the private room.
Mrs. Lerche shook her head in disappointment as she looked at how worried her daughter was for Xavier. She could
tell that the relationship was one-sided, and it was no wonder that Xavier was so cold toward Melissa.
After Melissa exited the private room, she asked many of the staff there for Xavier's whereabouts. Eventually, she
found him sitting next to the window at the common dining area.
When she saw Xavier looking at Bianca "lovingly," she was instantly consumed by jealousy!
