Chapter 324: Luxury Goods
Stanley was stunned, and then he stuttered, "Well... those are some nourishing medicines."
As he spoke, he quickly walked to the window and opened it for ventilation.
Yvonne also noticed something was wrong, but she was just a little surprised.
They all majored in western medicine and seldom got involved in the regimen. Moreover, given Stanley’s current age, he was not yet at the age when he needed to take care of his health.
She teased and said, "It seems that you have become interested in the regimen."
Stanley looked embarrassed. "I just want to try."
Yvonne did not ask any further. She remembered and said, "By the way, have you had dinner yet?"
Stanley replied, "Not yet."
Yvonne paused and said, "Then I’ll cook something for you to eat."
As she spoke, she walked towards the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator and took a look, but it was empty.
Surprised, she asked, "Stanley, don’t you usually cook by yourself?"
Stanley looked a bit awkward. "I’m usually busy with my work, so I don’t buy any ingredients. Why don’t you wait for a moment? I’ll get dressed, and then let’s go out to eat."
After saying that, Stanley turned around and went back to the room to change his clothes.
Yvonne was waiting in the living room and felt a little bored. Then she subconsciously looked around.
Although it was not the first time she had come to Stanley’s place, she used to send him home and left in a rush.
She didn’t stay any longer, nor did she have a chance to look at the decoration inside. At this time, she found that it was quite fresh and elegant.
In particular, there were several artistic ornaments on the porch at the entrance. She unconsciously walked over to appreciate them and found that the shoe rack next to her was a little messy.
Yvonne was somewhat obsessed with placing the furniture in the house in an orderly manner. Seeing this, she couldn’t help squatting down to organize it.
However, she found that most of the shoes on the shoe rack were internationally famous luxury brands, and they were basically limited editions. Each pair of them was worth at least ten grand.
Not only that, but many of those shoes were custom-made. And common people couldn’t be able to order them at all.
But how could Stanley have these shoes?
Given his identity and income, it was impossible for him to afford all those.
She wondered if those shoes were replicas.
Thinking of this, Yvonne could not help but look at those shoes carefully again.
However, she realized that she could rule it out.
Although she paid little attention to men’s luxury goods, she could verify the authenticity of those products.
Therefore, if these shoes were neither counterfeit nor did he have much money to spend on buying them, how did he get those shoes?
While Yvonne was still puzzled, the bedroom door opened. Stanley came out and saw her squatting beside the shoe rack. He walked over and asked in confusion, "What’s wrong?"
Only then did Yvonne come back to her senses. She immediately said, "It’s nothing. It’s just that it was a little messy here, so I organized it."
She stood up and walked up to him. Subconsciously, she sized him up.
At this time, Stanley had put on a black suit. Because he did not tie a tie, he looked a little casual. With his beautiful face, he still looked pleasing to her eyes.
Yvonne walked up to him with appreciation and tidied up his slightly uneven collar. However, when she accidentally glanced at a delicate cufflink on his sleeve, she could not help but freeze.
She knew that brand of the cufflink. Not long ago, when her father, Brant, was celebrating his birthday, she bought it for him. At that time, she remembered spending thousands of dollars on it. However, the one she bought was the cheaper one of that brand.
...
However, this suit he was wearing obviously looked a little more elaborate in terms of workmanship and materials used, and its price could only be more expensive.
But how could Stanley afford to wear such an expensive suit?
Seeing that she was staring at his clothes in a daze, Stanley asked in confusion, "What’s wrong? Is there anything wrong with my clothes?"
Yvonne was stunned for a moment, and then she shook her head and said, "No, let’s go eat something."
Stanley didn’t think much about it, took the car key, and went out.
The two of them sat down in a high -end Western restaurant not far away. While they were ordering, Stanley handed the menu to her, but Yvonne refused.
She was not in the mood to eat at all.
She didn’t know if she was overthinking it, but she felt that there was something wrong with Stanley from head to toe.
When he used to study in medical school, Stanley was known to be a poor student. Although he did not come from a wealthy family, he had won the hearts of many girls with his hard work and sterling qualities.
In her eyes, he had always dressed simply. And he had never intentionally worn any branded clothes.
However, suddenly, he started to buy limited edition luxury goods. Besides, he even invited her to eat in a high-end restaurant. She couldn’t help but think it was such a dramatic change for him!
The more Yvonne thought about it, the more she felt that something wasn’t right.
She could not help but think of the photos that James had shown her a few days ago.
Although she didn’t think there was anything wrong with those photos, she still felt the need to ask him about it.
Thinking of this, she paused and then said, "Stanley, I... I have something to ask you."
Stanley said, "Go ahead."
Only then did Yvonne take out the photos from her handbag.
"Who is the woman in these photos?"
She handed those photos to him.
Stanley reached out to take those and looked at them. However, when he saw the scene in those pictures, his face turned pale immediately.
"How did you get those photos?" He questioned.
Only then did Yvonne realize that she had taken out these photos too abruptly. After all, these photos were taken secretly, which easily caused him to misunderstand her.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly explained. "Stanley, don’t get me wrong. I only got those photos by chance. And I just wanted to ask you about them. If you’re not happy, you could pretend I didn’t ask you any questions."
As she spoke, she was about to take those photos back, but Stanley stopped her. "I’m not upset about it."
Stanley said as he picked up the photo and continued to speak. "The woman in the photo is named Mrs. Lynne. I met her at a party some time ago. I recognized her as my God sister because I thought we got along well with each other. What’s wrong with that?" He asked.
Yvonne was stunned. She then shook her head and said, "No, it’s just... Aren’t you two standing too close?"
Stanley sneered. "Yvonne, I didn’t expect you to be so conservative. What century do you live in now? Besides, she was not feeling well, and she’s my God sister. What’s wrong with me helping her? Moreover, it’s obvious that those photos are taken at a certain angle. I don’t know the intention of the people who took these photos. In short, there’s nothing between us."
Stanley seemed to be a little angry, and his tone sounded unpleasant.
Yvonne did not expect him to have such a big reaction, so she was suddenly at a loss. Before she could react, Stanley continued, "Yvonne, you disappointed me so much. I thought that we trusted each other enough, but I did not expect you to be so suspicious."
....
Hearing Stanley’s words, Yvonne panicked. "Stanley, I..."
Before she could finish her words, Stanley said again, "Now you suspect me after seeing a few photos. How can you get along with me in the future? Moreover, I am a doctor. In the eyes of doctors, there is no distinction between men and women except for patients. If I’m suspected of reaching out to help others, what would I do to my female patients?"
Stanley’s tone sounded very exasperated.
When Yvonne heard this, she felt even more guilty and uneasy. She had indeed been too impulsive and shouldn’t have asked such a question so abruptly. Thinking of this, she quickly apologized to him. "I’m sorry, Stanley. I asked because I cared too much about you. Since you’ve explained, I’ll believe you. Moreover, I promise that I won’t ask you again in the future." Yvonne guaranteed.
Seeing this, Stanley secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw those photos before, he thought that he had been exposed. However, he didn’t expect that Yvonne would be fooled by a few words.
It changed his view of Yvonne a little. It turned out that she was not as tough as she was rumored to be.
Thinking of this, he could not help feeling a little pleased. Then he said, "That’s more like it."
"Then are you still angry with me?" Yvonne asked cautiously.
Stanley put on airs and said, "For the sake of your apology, I’ll forgive you. However, you’re not allowed to question me like this again in the future."
Yvonne nodded repeatedly. "I won’t do it again."
Only then did Stanley stop talking.
"By the way, our lab has recently started a new round of investment, so I can’t be with you very often," Stanley warned her in advance.
He didn’t want her to come to his house as rashly as she did today.
Yvonne didn’t know what he was thinking. Thinking about how busy he was with work, she considerately replied, "It’s okay. Go ahead and do your thing. I won’t disturb you."
After this brief episode, Yvonne dispelled the thoughts in her heart. She did not continue to ask him about the luxury goods that he could not afford.
After all, even a couple had each of their own privacy.
Maybe Stanley had his own social circle, but she didn’t know it yet.
Thinking of this, she did not continue to dwell on it.
However, it also made her realize that she knew too little about Stanley.
Thinking of this, she secretly decided that after Stanley finished his work, she would try her best to get along with him.
When she left the restaurant, she saw that Stanley was a little tired, so she did not ask him to drive her home. Instead, she went back to Lakeside Apartment by herself.
When she arrived at the entrance of the apartment, she bumped into James, who had just come back from outside.
When Yvonne saw James, the first thing that came to her mind was that she almost broke up with Stanley tonight because of the photos he gave her.
As expected, James had ulterior motives.
She had regarded him as a good friend during this time. And she even felt a little sorry for him when she was with Stanley.
However, James wanted to cause a misunderstanding between Stanley and her.
Therefore, when she stepped into the elevator, she ignored James and didn’t even look at him as if he were a stranger.
Seeing this, he did not react.
How could he not want to talk to her?
Although it was true that he liked her, he was not that shameless.
As a man, he had his own dignity.
