“Go ahead! Buy whatever you want!” Severin said with a smile.


    “Dad! Mom! Hurry up!” Selene was in a buoyant mood as she walked, and it was clear that her


    happiness was different than usual.


    “I’ve never seen her so happy in a long time!” A smile appeared on Diane’s face as she looked at


    Selene. The only reason she could persevere up until then was because of her daughter.


    Severin grinned. “That’s because she saw her parents being all lovey-dovey with each other!”


    “Quit it. When did I get lovey dovey with you?” Diane rolled her eyes at Severin and quickened her


    pace. Severin soon led the two of them into the shopping mall.


    “Don’t go to the second floor!” Diane stopped him in a panic when she saw him nning to go up to the


    second floor.


    “What’s wrong?” Severin frowned. “Doesn’t the sign above say that the second floor is for women’s


    clothing?”


    That was when Diane exined. “The stores on the first floor are cheaper. The most expensive ones


    are several hundred dors. The second floor is where all the luxury brands are, and they can cost up


    to tens of thousands!”


    Severin, however, held the bag in one hand and carried Selene up with his other hand before walking


    toward the elevator. “How am I going to spend an arm and a leg if you don’t buy something more


    expensive? Besides, my wife is such a beautiful woman, and it’s only right that she wears beautiful


    clothes too!”


    “I can’t believe this man…”


    Diane was both exasperated and amused as she looked at Severin from behind. She felt that Severin


    was wasting money, but in the same vein, she could see that he was genuine in his efforts to treat her


    and Selene well.


    “Sure thing, then. What he said makes sense. Can’t me me for being born with good looks!” Diane


    had a rare vain smirk on her face as she followed the up.


    Once they reached the second floor, Severin put Selene down and led her into the first shop they


    saw.


    “Hey, honey! The clothes here look pretty good!”


    Severin’s eyes lit up immediately when he saw what they had on offer and he went in with Selene.”


    Why don’t we go in and have a look?”


    Diane followed closely, but she had a slight frown on her face. The store was a well-known international


    brand that Diane used to patronize very often. Needless to say, she had not been there for nearly five


    years.


    “Good afternoon, sir…” A female shop assistant greeted Severin when she saw him enter their


    premises. However, as soon as she saw Severin’s clothes and the white-and-red woven bag that


    looked like those used by farmers, her expression turned weird all of a sudden.


    Brief though that expression was, Severin still caught sight of it and asked in an unhappy tone,” What’s


    wrong? Am I not wee here?”


    The woman smiled awkwardly. “No, no, no, of course you’re wee! We hold all our customers in


    very high esteem!”

    Despite saying so, she looked down on him tremendously deep down. A country bumpkin like him -


    might not know that their store was a luxury brand, and she figured that he would leave without


    saying a word after looking at the price tag and being scared out of his wits.
