‘Noah Richards, huh? I want that man!’
…
The woman finally revealed a satisfied smile at the sight of the big and small bags piling up in the room. Joseph leaned forward, hugged her from behind, and left a peck on her cheek. “Are you happy now?”
“Hmph!” The woman rolled her eyes. “It only managed to calm me down.”
“Oh dear, the one million dollars I used should be enough to do just that. I apologize, but you must know I’m using Ari’s card. I hope you can see my sincerity.” Joseph rushed over to coax his sweetheart and finally saw a smile on her face after spending over a million dollars.
“Sincerity? I’ve been with you for over twenty years. I’m already going easy on you by quickly forgiving you!” Elizabeth pursed her lips and poked her finger at his head. “Do you think spending a million dollars on me is enough?
“Do you know how much I’ve suffered over the years? I cared for our son independently and agreed to stay by your side. I had to face the criticisms of others and bear getting called a mistress! Do you know how much that hurt?”
She started to cry when she said those last few words. Then she continued whining, “Do you even know how much time I spent choosing a dress because I want to be a little prettier? It’s because I want you to feel proud when I attend the auction with you instead of feeling embarrassed by me. I did all this for you!”
Elizabeth paused for a while and continued again, “Since our son is working in the company, I can’t possibly embarrass the two of you when I go out. Can I? Look at what’s happening now. Someone froze all of my cards, and I felt so ashamed! Do you know how the salespeople looked at me at the time?”
