Catherine’s POV
“Where are you takingshopping?” I asked curiously.
“We go where the best things are,” Blake said calmly.
I couldn’t help but look back at him. “You aren’t going to spend a fortune changing my appearance just because of what people say on the Internet, are you? If so, then I guess I owe them a thank you.”
“Isn’t it a matter of course forto buy things for you? Do I need a reason?” Blake couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Fine. Aren’t you afraid that I will buy lots and lots of stuff and max out your card?” I threatened him fiercely.
“Go ahead. As long as that’s what you want.” Blake said generously.
I suddenly realized that I had said something ridiculous again. Blake had so much money that even he lost count.
“Forget it. I’m not that greedy. A few pieces will do.” I thought about it, and I realized that I shouldn’t take it out on him. After all, how I dressed was the reason why we were here.
Blake didn’t say anything. He just smiled.
We were parked in Sayreville’s central plaza, a shopping mall that housed luxury brands from around the world.
The car was parked in a private spot, and after Blake got out of the car, he reached his hand over.
I was stunned for a second, and then I saw six guards from the pack behind him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI had no choice but to put my hand in his palm symbolically.
However, the moment my hand touched his palm, he grasped my hand tightly.
The feeling was like an electric current running through my heart. I could not help but shiver.
“I’ve already planned the route out for you. Just cwith me!” Blake turned around, and his thin lips could not help but curl up:
His every move was filled with a noble aura. His every word was elegant. When he looked at people, there was a deep light in his eyes.
I was still wandering, and I was already standing in the elevator next to him.
I tried to look straight ahead, but Blake’s aura was so irresistible. I couldn’t help but look sideways and just happened to see his hand holding my arm.
Also, maybe it was because we were so close to each other. I could even smell the strong Lycan scent on Blake.
The elevator doors opened. Blake held my hand overbearingly and tookout of the elevator.
I thought the place would have been crowded, but when I stepped off the elevator, I realized that there were not many customers in this expensive shopping area. There were just a few.
Well, that made sense. Not a lot could afford to purchase in such a place.
“Pick a gift for Leo later. His birthday is coming.” Blake suddenly opened his mouth, as if it had occurred to him.
“You do it. I always make bad choices when it comes to gifts.” I was reluctant.
“Pick one on behalf of the kids,” said Blake.
My kids were my soft spot. I only thought for two seconds and nodded. “Fine. Let’s take a look later. If we can find anything good, we’ll buy it.”
We walked into a women’s clothing store. I recalled the experience of being despised last time. But this time, Blake accompanied me. Seeing that, I somehow felt a sense of security.
No one wanted to be looked down upon by others. The faint vanity madefeel good.
I guessed I was also a slave to money.
“Sir, would you like to pick something for your girlfriend? We have snew arrivals! Your girlfriend can try them on!” A guide cforward to greet us warmly.
Due to Blake’s identity, he was rarely seen in public, and not many ordinary people knew him. However, he had a strong aura, and others didn’t dare to be presumptuous in front of him.
On the contrary, because of my frequent presence online, my face was recognized easily.
Soon, I heard the staff of the women’s clothing store whispering.
“Is he the legendary president of the Chavez Group? Look! Isn’t the woman beside him the same Catherine who was rumored this morning?”
I turned a deaf ear and kept browsing.
With his hands behind his back, Blake walked lightly beside me, accompanyingas I
selected.
I walked around the store, but I didn’t pick out any clothes, let alone try them on. I just walked to the door.
Blake grabbed my wrist. “What’s wrong? You don’t like the clothes here?”
I nodded. I was, in fact, a bit flustered. It wasn’t a good tto buy anything, because any decision I made when my mind was messed up, I would regret it.
And the chief culprit was the man grabbing my wrist right now. I didn’t know why, but I just got nervous when he was around.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBlake had to followout the door and walk to another store.
“Cathy, you are weird. What’s the matter?” Blake asked with a frown.
“Nothing. I just want to browse more and try on what I like.” I answered vaguely.
“But I think there was a lot that would suit you very well,” Blake said.
“Really? I guess I should have stayed more focused,” I answered, a little surprised.
“You know what? I’ll be the one who picks out your clothes later, and you just have to try them on. We’ll buy whatever fits you. buy it if it fits. Otherwise, tomorrow’s headline will be ‘Why does the president of the Chavez Group spend an afternoon shopping with his girlfriend, yet refuse to buy her a single dress?”” Blake joked.
I froze. To my surprise, he could be so humorous.
So, for the next hour, I tried on dozens of clothes of all styles, and in the end, Blake simply skipped the step where I tried on the clothes. He just bought everything that he had his eyes on.
“Blake, enough! There’s no need to buy this much!” I stood aside. When I heard the price stated by the shopping guide, I was shocked.
These clothes could hold on for years for me.
Blake saw how astonished I was. Then he smiled and said, “OK. We are done here.”
Only then did I let out a long sigh of relief. Women were said to be the crazy ones when shopping. Today was an eye-opener. When men go crazy, they could be terrifying.
“You bought too many clothes! I can’t wear them all!” I was still muttering.
Blake looked down at me. He smiled and said, “Throw those outdated ones away. We’ll chere again when new arrivals are in store next year.”
When I heard him say the word “we”, my heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of my throat.
The elevator stopped. I trembled and looked up at him. “Which floor are we on? Aren’t we going to the parking lot?”
Blake grabbed my hand. He said, “Something is missing.”
“What?” I was surprised.
“Now that we’ve bought clothes, of course, we need jewelry to match them. Let’s go to the jewelry section.” Blake was already draggingin that direction.
