"Mr. Lucas, do you need a scarf?"
"No need."
"What about gloves?"
"No."
"What about long johns?" Irene asked Lucas seriously. "You don't have long johns. Why don't I get you one!"
Lucas was speechless.
The last person who had forced him to wear long johns was his mother. However, his mother was now in a new relationship, and because of that, she had given him up. She no longer cared if he put on long johns or not.
"No need." Lucas' expression changed. "Don't mention long johns anymore!"
Irene did not expect him to get angry. She immediately nodded obediently.
They finished shopping on the street and came to a fork in the road.
The weather that day was pretty good. Although the temperature was low, there was still sunlight.
Even if the sun did not bring much warmth, it made one feel better compared to a gloomy day.
"Mr. Lucas, are you hungry?"
"No, I'm not."
"Then, let's head to the bookstore!" Irene noticed that Lucas did not seem to have any place, in particular, he wanted to go, so she decided to head to the bookstore to get some materials for revision.
"Are you sure?" Lucas raised his eyebrows. "Do you think the bookstore will be open today?"
"Let's go and have a look! If it's not open, we'll head to the mall and shop there." Irene pulled his arm and headed forward.
Lucas had thought that she was not strong, but at that moment, he realized that she was quite strong.
They did not expect there to be quite a lot of people in the bookstore that day.
A couple was sitting by the window. They looked very much in love. Some older children brought their younger siblings to buy books too.
