Chapter 50
After they finished their meal, Mikayla and Juliet went shopping. They shopped from Universal Mall to Vita Nova
Plaza: Over the years, Mikayla hadn't fully grasped the Lindstrom family's preferences, but she had a decent
idea. They liked high-end items. Mikayla carefully selected the gifts, hoping Juliet would make a good impression
on her first visit to the Lindstrom family. With sfree tleft, they walked into Mirandum Lingeries, a luxury
lingerie store. Recognizing them as VIP customers, the store manager warmly introduced them to the new
collections.
"Mikayla, this set of lingerie is perfect for you. Should | give it to you as a wedding gift?" Juliet said with a
mischievous grin.
The pink leopard print lingerie was a mix of leopard spots and black lace, making it very seductive. The thin
shoulder straps were decked out with rhinestones, giving them an elegant touch. The underwear was even
bolder, just two tiny strings.
Just looking at it made Mikayla blush and her heart race. "No way I'm wearing that, she thought. "You can have
it! She blushed and walked toward another section.
Juliet smiled secretly and said to the shop assistant, "Please wrap it. Her size. "Carlos, you're getting a treat. It's
a blatant temptation she exclaimed silently,
They also picked out two matching pajama sets and had them sent to the Salvatore manor and the Klein
residence. As they left the store, Juliet eagerly dragged Mikayla to the next shop.
While browsing clothes, Juliet said, "Mikayla, Xavier is coming back for your wedding"
"Did the military base approve his leave?" Mikayla asked, signaling a shop assistant to bring her a blue down
jacket
"Yes. He's delighted. | don't know why, but this tthe leave application went smoothly and quickly. Once he
returns, Dad will surely often go crazy Juliet poured.
Juliet and Xavier had been close with Mikayla since they were kids. They were like family. When Mikayla was
supposed to marry Jaxon, Xavier couldn't get leave from the military. He almost quit out of frustration. Luckily,

Julie, you should help out at your dad's company when you have the time, Mikayla suggested, stepping out of
the dressing room to check herself in the mirror.
"No way! 1
I'm not as talented as you. That's Xavier's problem: Juliet shrugged, unimpressed by the clothes she saw,
Mikayla didn't push any further, knowing Juliet's personality was unsuitable for office work. She realized how
difficult it was to manage a large corporation after starting work at Jorge's company. That was why she hoped
Juliet could help share Gordon's burden.
When Juliet saw Mikayla in the jacket, she exclaimed, "Mikayla, every t| shop with you, I'm mesmerized by
your beauty.
Mikayla had the perfect model's figure-tall and curvy. Almost everything looked good on her, making the clothes
seem like accessories to her beauty.
Mikayla handed the jacket back to the assistant. "Everyone has their own strengths."
"I would like to find a flaw in you so | can feel better about myself, Juliet joked.
As they linked arms and were about to leave the store, Mikayla suddenly stopped. The woman from that night
was walking toward them, with a grim-faced Kashton by her side.
If | remember correctly, she's Deidre Taillon, Mikayla pondered.
Deidre had her hair in a ponytail and wore no makeup. Her skin wasn't perfect but looked healthy. She wore a
faint smile. "Mikayla, we meet again." "Ms. Taillon, long tno see, Mikayla replied. Confused, Juliet wondered,
'Do they know each other! This feels like a tense meeting between love rivals.
Kashton, knowing the underlying tensions, wore an
in even more strained expression. "Hi, Mikayla" It was bad enough that Deidre had dragged him away while he
was flinting Running into Mikayla made it worse. If Carlos found out, he'd be in deep trouble. Mikayla was well-
proportioned, standing five feet six inches tall, while Deidre was at least live feet nine. Deidre's curvy figure was
dressed in a loose, casual cotton jacket. Even with her three-inch heels, Mikayla was barely eye-to-eye with
Deidre, who wore flats. As their paths crossed, their eyes locked
"Carlos will never marry you!" Deidre shouted.
"Do you think he'll marry you?" Mikayla shot back. She and Carlos hadn't announced their wedding date, so
there were plenty of rumors but no

confirmation.
Hoping to provoke Mikayla, Deidre ended up embarrassing herself instead. "We'll see about that!" she exclaimed
Kashton stood still, torn between Mikayla and Deidre, Offending either side would not end well
Juliet and are going to continue shopping Mikayla's implication was clear. She didn't want his company
"Thank you. Mikayla!" Kashton bowed in relief and quickly caught up to Deidre.
Juliet, who had stayed quiet, couldn't help but ask as she watched Deidre walk away, "Who was that! How'd she
get so tall?" She thought, 'Even Kashton gave in to her. Mikayla laughed and thought for a moment. "She's one of
Carlos’ admirers"
"An admirer! It must take guts to be with someone like her, Juliet said, thinking most men wouldn't handle a
woman that tall.
Mikayla didn't want to argue. Suddenly, her phone rang. Seeing the caller 10, she signaled Juliet to go into the
store while she looked for a quiet
spot to answer.
"Hello, Mrs. Ludwig. Mikayla and Selena previously exchanged phone numbers.
"Mikayla, it's me! A sweet and soft voice sounded.
Mikayla was taken aback for a moment. "Natasha, what's up?"

Natasha asked, "Can you cover tomorrow evening? | want to give you a painting.
Mikayla hesitated for a second. "Sure. Il cover after work"
After hanging up, she saw Juliet trying on clothes. Emerging from the fitting room, Juliet asked, "Was that
Carlos?"
"His sister. She invitedover tomorrow evening Mikayla replied.
"The one who's disabled?" Juliet asked. Natasha rarely left the house, so Juliet had only heard about her.
Mikayla nodded. "I should buy a gift to bring over."
"Yeah, Juliet agreed, signaling a shop assistant to pack up the clothes she tried on earlier.
Meanwhile, Deidre
was in a foul mood after her run-in with Mikayla. She dismissed Kashton and wandered aimlessly around the
mall. She had been in Xosa for a few days and had only seen Carlos twice, and now he was back at the military
base. Suddenly, her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID. she suppressed her irritation and put on a friendly tone.
"Natasha"
"Deidre, are you free tomorrow night? Natasha inquired.
"Tomorrow night Deidre had planned to fly back to the military base. Carlos wasn't in Xosa, so she had no reason
to stay. She was also still shocked by Natasha from their last encounter.
"Deidre, please cover tomorrow night. My mom said you left in a hurry last time, and we didn't get to host
you properly, Natasha invited.
A day or two wouldn't make a difference, so Deidre agreed, "Sure."
"See you tomorrow night, Natasha said.
