Flash Marriage With Mr. Sheffield: Go Away, Cheap Man!-Chapter 204: Damn, She Fooled Me

Seeing the sachet in Shannon Langley’s hand, Clara Sterling smirked, "Shannon, are you planning to give this sachet to Silas?"

Shannon Langley noticed Clara Sterling had also entered the kitchen, feeling somewhat displeased but didn’t show it.

"Yeah." She remained composed, showing no sign of embarrassment at being caught, "Sister Clara, you wouldn’t mind, would you?"

"Why would I mind?" Clara Sterling reached out to Shannon Langley, "Mind if I take a look?"

Shannon Langley thought Clara Sterling surely couldn’t do embroidery or any handicrafts, intent on showing off, she smiled and passed the sachet over.

"Sister Clara probably can’t do embroidery?" Shannon Langley said with a smile, "It’s actually quite simple, not difficult at all, for example, the mandarin ducks on this sachet took me three days to learn. If you’re interested, I can teach you."

Clara Sterling glanced at the messy stitches of mandarin ducks on the sachet, scoffing inwardly.

When she started learning embroidery from her mother at ten, she could do these simple patterns at a glance, and embroider them effortlessly.

And Shannon Langley actually took three days to learn this?

Handicapped hands or brain?

Thinking this, Clara Sterling kept a bright smile, "Shannon, you’re amazing! How did you learn? Teach me, will you?"

Praised by her rival, Shannon Langley’s sense of superiority surged.

Her vanity found great satisfaction.

"Sure, I can teach you." Shannon Langley said, deliberately glancing at Silas Sheffield.

Seemingly wanting him to know, she was better than Clara Sterling, possessing skills Clara didn’t.

"I’ll teach you tomorrow." Shannon Langley said.

Clara Sterling’s eyes curved as she smiled innocently, "No, Shannon, there’s no better time than now. Let’s do it today. I’m bored anyway, teach me to pass the time."

"Dinner will be ready soon." Shannon Langley said, "There’s no time now."

Clara Sterling asked, "Uncle, about how long until dinner?"

"An hour," Uncle said, "Tonight’s dinner is elaborate, there’s quite a bit to prepare, it’ll be a while."

"An hour is enough to learn a lot, let’s do it now. I’m eager to learn." Clara Sterling held Shannon Langley’s hand and pulled her out of the kitchen.

"I embroidered this sachet while feeling bored in the city, there’s no embroidery fabric and needle-thread back home here. How about going to town tomorrow to buy some before learning?"

Shannon Langley thought Clara Sterling was just saying it casually, not expecting her eagerness to learn, momentarily at a loss.

With her clumsy embroidery skills, how could she teach others? 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

She had learned from online tutorial videos for over ten days.

Claiming three days was merely to showcase superiority before Clara Sterling, while gaining favor with Silas Sheffield.

So now, she could only find an excuse, saying there were no needle and threads, hoping Clara Sterling would drop the idea.

Unexpectedly, Silas Sheffield’s aunt suddenly spoke, "I have needles and threads. I usually embroider some insoles and pillowcases. I’ll get them for you."

Shannon Langley: "..."

Shortly after, the aunt came down from upstairs with a storage box.

The box contained colorful yarn balls.

"Though I’m not great at embroidery, I’ve got the tools." Aunt smiled, handing the box to Clara Sterling.

"Used to be said students with poor grades have more stationery, Clara, see if it’s enough?"

"It’s enough." Clara Sterling took the storage box, smilingly looking at Shannon Langley.

Clara Sterling pulled Shannon Langley over to the sofa in the living room, "Come on, Shannon, teach me. Your embroidery is splendid, you’re really awesome! How are you capable of so much? Unlike me, who knows nothing."

Isn’t it just sweet talk?

Who can’t do that.

Silas Sheffield heard Clara Sterling mimic Shannon Langley’s tone, a smile tugging at his lips.

He knows well how skilled Clara Sterling is at embroidery.

With indulgent amusement, Silas Sheffield didn’t expose her.

Shannon Langley, assuming Clara Sterling really couldn’t do it at all.

Thinking, although her own embroidery skills weren’t great, she had mastered it, so compared to the completely inexperienced Clara Sterling, it should be presentable.

With this thought, Shannon Langley picked up the needle and thread with a smile, "Alright, then I’ll teach you."

The Langley family’s couple saw Clara Sterling asking Shannon Langley to teach her embroidery, feeling quite proud, with a bit of swagger.

Especially Mrs. Langley, unable to hold back the corners of her mouth from rising, "Clara, you must learn well from our Shannon. She has plenty more to offer."

Clara Sterling smiled gently, "I’ll definitely watch and learn attentively."

Mrs. Langley appeared congenial outwardly but inwardly dismissed Clara Sterling.

What’s beauty worth? Can’t do this or that, just a vase, right?

Shannon Langley finished threading and started embroidering, "Today, I’ll teach you mandarin ducks first."

Because she only learned mandarin ducks.

She knew nothing else.

Shannon Langley started embroidering while murmuring to Clara Sterling, "See, from here you lower the needle, then thread through, like this..."

Clara Sterling watched attentively, pretending to be seriously learning.

As if genuinely seeking guidance.

In the living room, the Langley family couple, grandmother, and aunt sat watching.

After an hour, Shannon Langley finished embroidering a mandarin duck.

"So, Sister Clara, did you learn?" Shannon Langley asked with a smile.

Although saying so, she knew Clara Sterling certainly hadn’t learned.

The mandarin ducks aren’t easy to embroider, complex pattern, varied colors, the needlework is quite elaborate.

She took over ten days to master, how could Clara Sterling manage it by just watching?

"Such a simple pattern, you surely learned it, right?" Shannon Langley intentionally baited Clara Sterling to embarrassment, smiling, "Sister Clara, why don’t you give it a try?"

"Didn’t quite understand." Clara Sterling pursed her lips and smiled, seeming a bit embarrassed, "But I can try, if it turns out bad, don’t laugh at me."

Shannon Langley almost couldn’t contain her laughter hearing this.

Of course, I’ll laugh.

Waiting for her to make a fool of herself.

"Oh, how would we laugh." Shannon Langley said insincerely.

"Alright, I’ll try then." Clara Sterling took the needle and thread.

The Langley family trio stared intently at Clara Sterling, waiting for her to mess up.

Initially, they felt smug, thinking Clara Sterling truly couldn’t do it.

Victorious smiles on their faces.

However, after just five minutes, their expressions changed.

Clara Sterling’s technique was deft, fingers nimbly threading the needle; the tiny embroidery needle danced in her hand, various stitch techniques swapping seamlessly.

Further observing Clara Sterling’s manner and actions, she appeared entirely at ease, not at all like a novice.

In ten minutes, a pair of lifelike mandarin ducks were completely embroidered.

"Clara, you can do embroidery, and it’s so good?" Aunt’s eyes widened in amazement, "Wow, if I hadn’t seen you embroider, I’d find it hard to believe you embroidered these ducks in just ten minutes!"

Shannon Langley’s face turned dark, lips pressed into a line, fists clenched, eyes filled with fury and begrudging frustration.

"Were you deceiving me?" Shannon Langley almost ground her teeth to bits, glaring at Clara Sterling with anger, hands trembling, "You clearly can embroider, why pretend and ask me to teach you?"

Clara Sterling blinked innocent eyes, clear and bright, "No, really I couldn’t just learned it, didn’t expect embroidery to seem hard, but it’s quite simple hands-on."

Shannon Langley hadn’t seen Clara Sterling fail, instead getting played by her, which made her breathless.

Anyone with sight could tell Clara Sterling wasn’t a novice.

Although unwilling to admit, Clara Sterling’s embroidered mandarin ducks were significantly more exquisite and realistic than hers, the embroidery speed was also much faster.

Yet, she pretended as a newbie, with such a pure, harmless demeanor, Shannon Langley felt like exploding.
