He was about to say something when he noticed Sabrina gritting her teeth.

She clearly wanted to say more, but because she knew Finnley 's personality, she forced herself to swallow her unwillingness.

Then she walked behind him and wrapped her arms around him from behind.

"Finnley , I'm not a greedy woman, but... when it comes to this matter, I think I'm allowed to be a little greedy. If this keeps going, I really don't know how much longer I can hold on."

    Liliana's POVAfter shopping with my friend for the whole afternoon, I felt much better. When I returned to the living room, I saw many shopping bags and jewelry boxes on the floor.The shopping bags were from luxury brands, and most of them were the same ones Finnley had just bought.Sabrina walked downstairs.Seeing the shopping bags in my hands, she smiled smugly and said, "Don't be too envious. Finnley bought these for me. He said he would use these things to comfort me today."She walked up to me and raised her chin. "You're really brave enough to buy things too. Did it scrape a layer off your skin? You don't need to pretend to be strong. As long as you apologize to him properly, he'll reward you with something too.""Do you think I'm the same as you?" I looked at her indifferently. "Miss Sabrina, I think I forgot to remind you that all the money Finnley has spent on you is the common property of my husband and me. In other words, I'm helping him raise you right now. You'd better

    Liliana's POVTears welled up in Sabrina's eyes."Finnley, you actually..."Seeing her like that only made Finnley look more annoyed.He loosened his tie irritably and grabbed her hand."Let's stop talking about this. Come on. I don't want to stay here and talk to this woman anymore.""You... you..."Sabrina's sobs became more obvious.He dragged her away before she could say anything else.Looking at Finnley's retreating figure, Alice smiled proudly."He actually embarrassed you in front of so many people. I knew something was wrong with you two from the beginning.""But you were the one who said you envied me for having a boyfriend like him."When I first met Finnley, everyone thought we were a perfect match.No one expected us to end up like this.Even I didn't expect it."Liliana..."Seeing my expression, Alice paused for a moment and then asked softly, "You're very sad, aren't you?""Why should I be sad?"I quickly composed myself and smiled at her.But I couldn't suppress the wo

    Liliana's POV"Mr. Vauxhall, are you blind? I'm insulting a mistress. Now that this mistress dares to be arrogant, as Liliana's friend, of course I'll stand up for her."Alice smiled sarcastically and narrowed her eyes at Finnley."Of course, Mr. Vauxhall probably can't tell the difference anymore. After all, you've treated your mistress better than your legal wife!""Miss Alice, you know what happened between us, so what's the point of saying all this here?" Finnley replied calmly.But his cold gaze landed directly on me as I walked out of the fitting room.I was wearing a long, light-blue dress. Because I hadn't been feeling well lately, my skin looked almost transparent. The low-cut design of the dress also made me look more feminine."It's so beautiful!"Alice's eyes widened. She immediately walked over, grabbed my hand, and looked at me with admiration.Then she narrowed her eyes and said mockingly, "Someone must be blind to choose a mistress over such a beautiful wife.""Finnley

    Liliana pov Sabrina also saw me.She secretly cursed under her breath, as if enemies were destined to meet in the narrowest places.She walked to Finnley's side and said softly, "I think this dress suits me very well.""Go try it on."Finnley nodded and looked at the sales assistant with obvious pressure in his eyes.The sales assistant knew who he was.After all, he had been in the spotlight during the past few years. Financial magazines featured him almost every few months.Moreover, the staff in luxury stores remembered all the wealthy people in the city so they wouldn't lose important customers because of poor service.The sales assistant subconsciously turned to Sabrina and handed the dress to her."Hey, you..."Alice was furious.The sales assistant was obviously a snob.She took a step forward and wanted to say more, but I pulled her sleeve and slowly shook my head, telling her not to argue.She sighed and looked at me.She wanted to say something else, but at that moment, Fin

    Liliana pov Every time Finnley gave Sabrina jewelry, she would refuse at first. She only accepted it after he persuaded her again and again.While Sabrina was thinking about how to get Finnley to pay for her shopping this afternoon, I also had an appointment.It was with Alice, my college friend."Liliana, I'm getting married!"I could hear the happiness and excitement in her voice.That used to be me.I smiled and said, "I've already prepared your wedding gift!""No... I still haven't chosen my dress. My fiancé is such a straight man. Every time he goes shopping with me, he drives me crazy, so I don't want to pick a dress with him this time. Liliana, can you come with me? I trust your taste."Her soft voice made me feel like she was acting spoiled with me.I smiled helplessly."Okay, but I have something to do this morning. We'll have to meet in the afternoon.""Then I'll wait for you at the café near the Carter Group this afternoon."We hung up the phone.I let out a sigh of relief

His voice was low, and his eyes were as gentle as possible. "You just had a miscarriage. Don't get emotional. Go back and have a good rest. I'll take you out to relax in a few days, okay?"Seeing him change the topic, Sabrina seemed to feel a sense of crisis.Maybe she had realized that he didn't really want me to leave the Vauxhall family.It seemed that my place in his
