Knowing that Lumma was concerned about money, Adam said, “Then you can go shopping with me for a while, and I still have a lot of things to buy.”
“Okay.” Lumma had always known that Adam never looked at the price when buying things. As long as he liked it, he could spend as much as he wanted. But he never thought that he could be like that when visiting a supermarket.
Adam walked to the shelf, took every product, and put it in the shopping cart. And soon the huge shopping cart was fully filled, and he also said, “Lumma, money is something outside of the body. Making money is to spend money, and don’t ruin your interest for a few hundred dollars.”
Lumma didn’t answer the question. A few hundred dollars didn’t matter at all to Adam, but it was Lumma’s living expenses for several months.
A few hundred dollars was very important to Lumma!
After one shopping cart was full, Adam asked the staff to push two more shopping carts. But after a while, all three shopping carts were all filled by Adam.
There was fresh beef, mutton, chicken, all kinds of expensive vegetables, and all kinds of snacks. Coincidentally, they were all things that Lumma wanted to buy but was reluctant to spend money on.
When the staff in the store or the shopping customers saw them, their eyes would involuntarily stay for a few more seconds on them either because of their dazzling images or because of Adam’s wild shopping.
Until a pregnant woman with a big belly walked up to Lumma and said to her in broken English, “Ma’am, can I take a photo with you and your husband? I heard that there is an ancient legend in the Wast, the babies will be beautiful if Pregnant people take pictures with good-looking couples.”
Lumma hurriedly explained again, “We are not a couple.”
Adam suddenly answered in French that Lumma couldn’t understand, “I’m sorry, my wife doesn’t like taking pictures with strangers. But you have such a good eye, and the baby in your belly will definitely look good.”
No group photo was taken, but the pregnant woman was still very happy to be blessed by such a handsome man. She also said in her familiar French, “Your wife is very beautiful and cute. I wish you happy.”
