373 Don't pine, that girl is already taken! (2 more)

Zoe Payne was just reflecting on the girl's engagement when...

"Mom, I like this necklace too," the girl at her side cooed.

"Today we're here to pick out jewelry for your sister's engagement, stop meddling," she was scolded.

"Sis, I really like it, please let me have it."

Before the girl could say anything, the woman sighed and said, "Alright, if you like it, it's yours, your sister surely won't mind."

"Sis, you're the best."

"Keep looking, see if there's anything else you like."

"I think this bracelet isn't bad either. It would go well with my dress when you get engaged. What do you think?"

"Not bad at all."

"..."

The girl didn't say a word throughout the entire process.

She was as docile and delicate as a marionette.

Those unaware would think that she's the star of the day.

Zoe Payne had just been listening casually,

thinking that this was simply a mother with her two daughters, but that last comment...

It all sounded so strange.
