“Why are you taking us here?” Monique’s brows were slightly furrowed together with displeasure. It was obvious that Henry did it to stop her from using her break time to earn some extra money.
She did not think that he would be kind enough to get clothes for them, she would be thankful enough if he did not trick her.
“I’m looking for a gift.” Henry lifted the corners of his mouth.
Monique did not believe his words at all. She picked up a piece of clothing casually and looked. She was admiring how pretty, comfortable, and stylish the clothes there were. Little Nomi would look fabulous in these clothes.
Thinking that she would get Little Nomi something when she earned some money, Monique glanced at the price tag and placed the clothing back with shaky hands. She even pulled Little Nomi and took a step back.
It was extremely expensive, she even got a shock from it. She did not forget how she got herself into debt and was forced to be Henry’s driver just because she damaged his clothes!
Henry was extremely amused because of Monique’s change of expression. What a funny woman.
“Little Nomi, stand here. Do not touch these clothes,” said Monique embarrassedly, her lips twitching.
“Why?” Little Nomi looked at Monique who was pursing her lips with her huge teary eyes and a pitiable expression.
The clothes there were pretty and she liked them.
“Mommy, I’ll just look, please?” pleaded Little Nomi.
Monique shook her head firmly.
Henry looked at Little Nomi and his heart sank. She must have suffered a lot with her mother all these years.
He pulled Little Nomi to him and looked at a salesman. “Pick some clothes for her,” Henry instructed the salesman.
‘I see.’ Monique heaved a sigh of relief internally and proceeded to pick out clothes for Little Nomi happily.
Little Nomi was delighted. She tried on sets and sets of clothing for Henry like a child model on a runway and Henry bought all of them.
‘How can she look good in everything? Indeed, she is like me. She looks good in everything, she is born to be a model.’ Henry curved his lips secretly.
Monique was dumbfounded. ‘Is this man’s brain not functioning? He shouldn’t be spending like this even if he’s rich. He bought so many clothes as a gift, the child would have sufficient clothes for years.’
Henry picked a whole cart of clothes that the salesmen wanted to get on their knees for him as a sign of gratitude. He was a godly standard VVIP customer for them.
Monique could sense the fire burning in the salesmen’s eyes when Henry was swiping his card.
