The saleswoman glanced at Oscar's phone, shaking her head, "We don't have that."
"No?" Oscar was a little disappointed. Surely he could go to other stores but it occurred to him that Hannah was sitting on the toilet, waiting for him, and could not leave it until he went back.
"Let her try the best ones here." She said warmly, "This one. I promise your wife will like it. It won't hurt her butt and can keep it dry." She handed a box of pads to Oscar.
Oscar took it awkwardly for he had never touched this stuff.
"Is it really as good as you say?" Oscar was a little doubted.
"Don't worry! I never lie to a good man like you." She said sincerely.
He was persuaded and said, "I'll take it then." And he was about to leave.
"Wait, young man, it's on sale and I'll give you four for the price of three. You'll never find it too much." The saleswoman promoted sales.
Oscar nodded and said, "Okay."
He thought that he could buy a few more just in case Hannah was in her period when she came here in the following days.
"Oh, and tampons. It’s more convenient to use tampons for girls. It's more comfortable. Get some. It's on sale too." The saleswoman grabbed some tampons for him quickly.
"Okay, then."
"And tissues. They were special tissues designed for girls. You know, girls will pay high attention to hygiene during this time. They’re safer and more assuring, on sale to. Six for the price of five. Let me take you some."
Oscar nodded.
"And this is the lotion. Regular use once in the morning and once at night. It’s good for girls during period. I'll take you one too."
"Right."
So Oscar, who went out only to buy some pads, left the convenience store carrying two large bags, one in each hand.
He came home and Hannah's legs were going numb from sitting. She was about to call Oscar when she was stunned to see him coming in with two large bags.
"Why you bought so many of them?"
"Shouldn't I ?" Oscar asked in return. So he had no idea that he was ripped off.
He put the shopping bag on the washstand and took the stuff out one by one, "There are no the ones you want in the store. And the saleswoman introduced this to me." Oscar said and handed it to Hannah.
Hannah took a look. It was a strange brand. But she didn't blame him.
"She said it's the best and can keep your butt dry."
Hannah nodded with a smile. She didn’t expect that Oscar would have had his day of being deception.
"And the tampons, which would be more convenient to use."
"OK." Hannah looked at him who took all the items out proudly as if they were treasures.
Hannah held back from telling him that she was about to leave this afternoon and what he bought was too many for her to carry away! She settled the pads in and put her pants on.
"You don't need these?" Oscar asked.
"No."
The point was that they had been disturbed while enjoying the last sex before she left. She didn't know if it was her bad luck or Oscar's.
Lying on the bed for a while, Hannah saw Oscar walk in with the noodles, so she got up. Oscar was feeding her again. Sometimes, habits could easily change a person. Oscar's thoughtful care made her take everything for granted.
"Mrs Wells, did you gain weight?" Oscar asked suddenly.
Hannah burped and ate satisfyingly. Hearing it, her expression suddenly altered. "You are sick of me, aren't you?"
"No." Oscar smiled, "The more weight you gain, the more love I give."
"Now I'm sick of you." Hannah pretended to be mad but actually, she was happy inward.
Hearing her words, Oscar was not angry at all. He said seriously, "You should eat more and gain more weight when you are back. Okay?"
"Take care of yourself." Oscar touched her cheek with a serious expression. And Hannah couldn't help herself when he got serious. She leaned over and kissed his lips. It was a light kiss.
Oscar looked at her affectionately.
Hannah said, "Take care too."
Oscar nodded.
"Oscar." Hannah suddenly felt a little depressed.
"What's wrong, honey?"
"I always feel that we are a real couple only when we are here, just like a normal family. Maybe not rich, but I’m cozy and happy." Hannah said, "In the future, you’ll get to stronger positions in the aristocratic families and I'll work for Cooper Group. We would become more and more estranged from each other."
