"She will like anything you give her that isn't scary."' Shelly thought.
Just then, Audrey glanced at a store selling bags, Hayden carried her and walked in.
"That store sells purses," Shelly informed him.
"I don't need you to tell me that. I have eyes," he said.
The salesperson spotted them and immediately approached with enthusiasm, "Sir, are you looking for purses for men or women? We received a new batch yesterday..."
"Do you have bags suitable for my daughter's age?" Hayden asked the salesperson earnestly.
The salesperson glanced at the infant in his arms, a hint of surprise flickering in her eyes while thinking to herself, "Is a half-year-old baby already buying bags?"
"Yes, we do, sir!" The salesperson was enchanted by Hayden's extraordinary demeanor and promptly led him to the section with children's bags. "These are our children's collection."
Shelly commented, "Children's bags are this big? It feels like you can stuff the child inside!"
"These children's bags are designed to be lively and cute. If you're looking for a smaller bag, we have smaller-sized women's purses over here!" the salesperson suggested, wanting to show them the other section of the store.
However, Audrey was captivated by the colorful array of children's bags before her. Following his daughter's gaze, Hayden picked up one of the bags featuring a big bear and asked her, "Darling, do you like this one?"
A joyful smile instantly appeared on Audrey's face, and she reached out to hold the bag with both hands.
"You can easily stuff Audrey into this bag," Shelly thought.
Shelly was rendered speechless at how easily Hayden spent money.
Shortly after, Hayden brought over a red purse and said that Audrey was the one who picked it, and asked if Shelly liked it.
Shelly wanted to say that she did not like it, but before she could do so, Hayden had already taken the purse to the cashier.
Seeing how Hayden did not intend to listen to her, she grabbed a beige version of the same purse and hurried after him.
"If he has to buy me a purse, at least let me get one that suits me. Audrey might like bright colors, but a red purse is hard to pair with my clothes," she remarked inwardly.
After Hayden paid, he handed the purse to her and said generously, "What else do you need? Just say it so I don't have to guess what you want."
