The taxi pulled over. Christina and Crystal got out of the car and walked towards the most bustling business street in the east of the city.
Crystal chose a man's suit and walked to the cashier, she threw her credit card on the table, ignoring its price and discount. Christina looked at her in astonishment.
She was shocked by Crystal's change after marriage.
Before getting married, Crystal liked to use coupons. She used to say that bargaining was the pleasure of shopping.
"Crystal, you paid by your card." Christina felt it was necessary to remind her.
Crystal answered calmly, "I know."
After a few seconds, she spent more than 5,000 dollars on a tie.
Seeing that Crystal squandered her money like this, Christina sighed, "If my memory serves me right, you said that it was your retirement savings."
It was not a big deal for someone who was born rich, but it was hard for Crystal to get rid of her habit of frugality. Christina didn't expect Crystal became a squander now.
The waitress in the shop packed what Crystal had bought and handed them to Crystal with a smile.
Generous customers were popular in such shops. The waitress also provided her with a platinum VIP card, saying, "Mrs. Zhu, you have good taste. Our brand clothes are made by foreign designers. Our factory is in Holland, and all the branches around the globe have the same after-sale service. Please call our hotline whenever you need. We will provide service at your home."
Crystal was a frequent visitor. She took the exquisite paper bags and said with a hearty smile, "My husband likes the designers very much. The size fits him well. If he gains some weight later, I will come to buy some bespoke suits."
"Mrs. Zhu, you're a good wife. Your husband is so lucky." The waitress flattered.
Crystal gave her a knowing smile and left.
After getting out of the men's store, Crystal pulled Christina to an electric appliances store, "The razor Chandler likes is rare in our country. I don't know if it's available here."
Christina could do nothing but follow her. Crystal bought many things for Chandler. It seemed that buying gifts for others made her happier.
"Are you feeling okay to spend so much money?"
Christina remembered that she would be upset for several days every time she bought a pair of expensive shoes. After that, she used to tighten her belt and go on a diet. Otherwise, she wouldn't forgive herself.
"I don't know. I think it's easy to buy things for others. I don't have to worry so much. I just want to buy them."
Crystal told her the truth and blushed, saying, "Chandler gives me some private money every month, and I don't spend half a cent on anything in the Stephenson family. I should buy something for them."
Christina could tell from Crystal's flushed cheeks that she loved Chandler very much.
Moreover, Crystal was remarkable for her sweet temper. She was stingy to herself but generous to others. She was the one who believed that giving was better than receiving.
She liked to give more to others. What a silly girl!
"I know you are nice to others. Please be kind to yourself." Christina laughed at her, "You dote on Chandler too much. What if he wants more in the future?"
"I'm not doting on him," Crystal blushed.
"Every woman wants to buy as many things as she can for her man after they get married."
Christina looked at her in astonishment. "But I didn't buy anything for Patrick." After thinking for a long time, she couldn't remember what she had bought for him.
Crystal was confused, "What? Are you serious?"
Christina answered, "Patrick didn't give me anything either. We have got everything at home. Nanny Faang will take care of domestic affairs."
Crystal felt that Patrick was not romantic. When Chandler was out on business, he often brought her some gifts or wrote some letters.
"Patrick is too busy. He can't waste time on trivial things, but you can buy some clothes for him. He will be very happy." Crystal patted her on the shoulder and gave her a meaningful smile.
Christina thought that it was a good idea.
"If I buy him many clothes, will Patrick agree that I don't have to go to parties with those rich ladies? I don't like it."
Christina was good at squandering money. Without hesitation, she swiped Patrick's secondary card for everything.
At the sight of this, Crystal reminded her, "Do you need to ask him about his likes before you buy them?" Christina had bought so many clothes that the waitress said that they would offer home delivery.
With that said, Christina took some pictures of the suits and sent them to Patrick's WhatsApp, but he didn't reply for a few minutes. It was typical of him. He didn't like to check his phone.
"Don't worry about that. Patrick will like them." With that said, Christina paid for them by card.
It was the weekend, so there were a lot of people on the street. Having been shopping for a long time, they were tired at this moment. They decided to have a rest in the restaurant nearby. Just then, they caught sight of an acquaintance.
Christina shouted, "Is that Charles?" A man had walked into the bar. She felt it was a familiar figure.
"Let him take us to dinner."
She wouldn't be nice to Mr. Shepherd. Christina grabbed Crystal's arm and stepped into the bar after him.
They were not familiar with the layout of the bar, and it was dim inside. They couldn't find Charles for a moment.
"Miss, do you want to drink or to look for someone?"
A bar staff asked. He knew what they were not frequent visitors. Their dresses and shopping bags told him that they came here to look for someone, not drinking.
"Look for someone." Christina looked around and asked, "Where is the man who came in a few seconds ago? He has short dark brown hair. He wears a dark blue suit."
