Ariana didn't deliberately pay attention to Jane's whereabouts. Even if she knew about the conversations between Jane and Kiara, understanding that she might sneak back to the country, she didn't pay much attention.
In her opinion, Jane was not a concern at the moment. After all, the forces she could utilize now were the White family and Vincent. It was uncertain with Vincent, but Ariana was confident that Jane stood no chance with the White family because once she returned, Ariana would know and be on her guard. Thus, Ariana believed that Jane's every path was blocked. Therefore, she was not worried.
However, Lambert thought differently than Ariana. Lambert never underestimated his enemy, even if it was a minor one. Therefore, the moment Jane returned to the country, Lambert knew. But he didn't express anything regarding it. He sent someone to follow her. The result was just as he expected, Jane went to the Thomas family.
At this moment, Ariana was trying on a dress. She needed a suitable dress for Old Mr. Stone's birthday banquet later in the evening.
Just as she was about to consult Lambert about the dress, she realized that he seemed deep in thought. Ariana chuckled.
She cleared her throat, then quietly approached Lambert from behind.
Then out of the blue, she called out to Lambert. Contrary to Ariana's expectations, Lambert wasn't startled. He glanced at his wife, who was causing a ruckus, and said helplessly, "Why can't you behave even when you're changing your dress?"
Ariana blinked her eyes innocently, then laughed and said, "Didn't I do it because you're spacing out?"
Lambert narrowed his eyes, "So you came to scare your husband?"
At this moment, the store clerk on the side couldn't help blushing at the sight, her eyes brimming over with admiration and longing for Ariana.
Ariana's face turned crimson. She shot Lambert a fierce look, indicating to not make any unnecessary remarks in public. Then she strolled back to the full-length mirror and asked Lambert, "What do you think of this dress? I think it's pretty good, and the size fits well."
At these words, Lambert's attention gradually returned.
He first took a careful look. After watching for a while, his eyes curved slightly and he chuckled, "Nice, very beautiful."
Ariana was wearing a blue dress that was quite elegant and generous.
The dress, paired with a small blue hat on Ariana's head, made her look extremely cheeky yet very exquisite. The blue hat was not too large and did not give the vibe of immaturity. Instead, complemented with this elegant light blue dress, it made an extremely contradictory appeal.
In summary, it was perfectly suited to Ariana.
Of course, the biggest reason was that Lambert thought Ariana looked good in anything.
However, as he examined her, his eyes involuntarily squinted, and his gaze traveled back and forth on her dress. His slightly bobbing Adam's apple diffused a hint of ambiguity into the warm atmosphere.
Ariana: "...”
As a 'mature couple' that had been married for so long, she virtually guessed what he was thinking at the first shift of his gaze!
Ariana's cheeks flushed in fury, she gave Lambert a harsh stare, then turned around and went to the fitting room to change back into her old clothes.
Lambert could only regretfully watch Ariana's retreating figure, he couldn't help but lick his lips.
He clearly regretted quite a lot.
Of course, what he regretted most was that he couldn't do anything at this moment. However, he was not entirely without a solution. With that in mind, Lambert chuckled, then he turned his head to the store clerk attending to them and asked, "Do you have any other dresses suitable for my wife's temperament in the store?"
The sales assistant was stupefied at first, but immediately replied with excitement, "Of course we do."
