Maurice couldn’t help but smile discreetly as he looked at Eliana who was staring at the tie.
She was quite generous this time. She was willing to spend so much money just to buy him a gift!
When he took the tie, he felt a warm feeling in his heart, which made him happy.
Once they had paid the bill, they had both changed into new clothes. Maurice looked refreshed, while
Eliana was completely withered. After all, she had just spent a veritable fortune!
“Since we’re done shopping, let’s get out of here now!” said Eliana in a feeble voice.
Smiling, Maurice followed her leisurely.
They were going to leave the mall when Eliana realized that there were a lot of people around her.
These people all seemed to be looking at something. She looked up and saw an eye-catching sign
hanging in front of her, which read, “There’s a big discount on food at the supermarket.”
Eliana’s eyes lit up when she saw that.
Immediately, she turned to look at Maurice and said seriously, “Maurice, you go first! I need to go to the
supermarket.”
After saying that, she was about to run forward, but was stopped by him.
“What do you mean by leaving me here alone? Besides, you do not need to buy things at a discount.”
“You don’t understand!” Eliana blurted out before ruthlessly shaking off Maurice’s hand. Then she
rushed to the supermarket which was already full of people.
Maurice was speechless. He couldn’t let her go there alone, so he decided to follow her to the
supermarket.
When he walked into the supermarket, a group of middle-aged women quickly noticed him.
“Wow, what a handsome young man!” one of the women muttered.
Maurice was indeed a handsome man, and wherever he went, he was noticed by women. As soon as
he entered the supermarket, the middle-aged women around him were fascinated by him. They soon
forgot what they were here for and surrounded him.
“Hey, handsome. Who are you? How come I’ve never seen you before?”
“How old are you, handsome? Do you have a girlfriend? My daughter is still single…”
Maurice felt the anger rise in him as he was pushed around by these women.
What was Eliana doing?
Well, since Maurice’s presence had attracted most of the women, Eliana had the opportunity to grab a
lot more food.
However, she looked occasionally in Maurice’s direction and noticed that he was about to lose his
patience. His face was gloomy, indicating that anger was boiling inside him. Seeing this, Eliana finally
decided to go back to him.
“Back off!” Eliana roared as she stood in front of Maurice.
“Hey, who the hell are you?” one of the middle-aged women asked Eliana with contempt.
“I’m his girlfriend. Now back off from my man!”
Although it was a lie, Eliana said it with such conviction that it was impossible not to believe her.
Hearing this, the women quickly walked away and went their separate ways.
Maurice was furious just now and had planned to teach Eliana a good lesson. But when he heard her
say he was her man, his anger vanished immediately.
After she scrambled for food, Eliana’s hair was a mess. She even still had a cabbage leaf stuck in her
hair. Although she looked scruffy, she was so excited as if she had won a grand prize.
Maurice was amused to see her like this and joked, “Why are you so happy? What’s the fun in fighting
for discounted stuffs?”
“You are never short of money, so you can’t understand! I have been able to get a week’s food, saving
at least 300 dollars! That’s equal to making 300 dollars!” Eliana said with a wide smile. She was clearly
overjoyed.
Maurice gazed fondly at Eliana’s smug expression and naturally reached out to touch her head.
However, before his hand could touch her, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to stop him.
“What are you doing?” Eliana asked vigilantly.
Maurice ignored her and took the cabbage leaf off her head. He shook it in front of her eyes and said
with a helpless sigh, “See?”
Seeing that, Eliana blushed.
She had thought that Maurice wanted to kiss her in this public place.
She looked at Maurice, feeling a little embarrassed now. She couldn’t help but notice that when he
wasn’t angry, he looked quite like Preston.
There was something about Preston that made her want to get close to him. However, Maurice only
made her want to run away.
Maurice and Eliana then went to pay the bill silently.
Coincidentally, Eliana met the cashier who waived the bill for her and her children last time.
Eliana asked curiously, “Uh… Hello! Is there an activity like the one I participated in before that can
make the goods free of charge?”
“Free of charge?” The cashier looked at Eliana up and down carefully and said, “Oh, it’s you! You’re the
customer whose goods were free of charge last time, right?”
Eliana nodded. “I just want to know if I can get the food free this time again.”
The cashier was confused and explained, “Don’t you know? In fact, there has never been any activity
to get free goods. Last time, the boss of the mall took care of your bills himself.”
Upon hearing that, Eliana was utterly stunned.
The owner of this shopping mall? Wasn’t it Maurice himself?
Eliana turned her head and stared at Maurice in shock.
It turned out he didn’t let her pay last time! And she never knew about it!
If she hadn’t found out by accident, would he have ever told her the truth?
“Maurice, did you…”
“No,” Maurice denied at once, without even waiting for her to finish her question.
Eliana frowned and said again, “But…”
“Don’t say anything more. Let’s go.”
Maurice felt awkward and directly dragged Eliana away.
He didn’t want Eliana to find out that he had watched over her in secret.
