Then, he watched the guy behind him mimic the action, snatching up nine boxes.
What the hell? Was this a competition?
He grabbed six more boxes.
The guy behind him immediately grabbed eighteen.
"..." Is he psycho? Is he buying them in bulk to use as disposable gloves?
The guy completely gave up. After paying, he cast a complicated, totally baffled glare at Jorrod, grabbed his girlfriend, and hurried away.
The cashier found it highly amusing.
It wasn't Valentine's Day or any romantic holiday, yet this was the first time they had ever rung up so many condoms for one person at once.
Just look at it—the display shelf was practically wiped out.
So, when Sienna finally tracked him down and opened the two massive shopping bags, she was absolutely horrified by the mountain of colorful little square boxes practically overflowing from the top.
She violently yanked the bags shut, her face flushing crimson as she gritted her teeth. "Jorrod Vaughn! Who told you to grab these?!"
Jorrod glanced over, completely oblivious to why she was blushing. "They grabbed them, so I grabbed them. You said three times the amount."
Sienna: ...
She had forgotten that those two were an actual couple, so buying condoms was perfectly normal.
But for her...
Three times the amount!
It would take her decades to use them all!
Wait, that wasn't right either. She didn't even have anyone to use them with! She was entirely single, what the hell was she supposed to do with them?!
Jorrod looked down at her, seeing her furrowing her brows and sighing, looking incredibly distressed.
He asked softly, "Did I buy too much?"
"...Yeah."
Jorrod was simply following his Darling's instructions like a good boy. He actually had no idea what the items were even used for.
Seeing her frustrated made his own chest tighten.
So, he tried to comfort her. "Then I'll help you use them. Let's use them together, okay?"
Sienna's face practically caught fire in a single second.
For the first time in her life, she truly despised her overactive imagination.
"In your dreams!"
She quickly tied the shopping bags tight, spun on her heel, and stormed off.
Jorrod, utterly bewildered, followed behind her with his long strides, staring at her furious back in pure confusion.
Why did she suddenly get so mad?
Breathing in the faint, mouth-watering aroma of dinner wafting through the air, she was actually picking up a bizarre, deeply domestic vibe from this man.
The bizarre part was that this man was Jorrod Vaughn of Stellaris Corp.
That ruthlessly toxic, serpentine man.
If a psychic had told her a month ago that one day Jorrod would be trailing after her like a puppy, personally cooking her meals, her fiery temper would have definitely cursed them out as a scammer and told them to get lost.
At the same time, Sienna was very acutely aware of reality.
This man, who accommodated her every whim, was just sick and forgetful.
Enjoying his services temporarily was fine, but if she let it evolve into emotional dependence, that would be the beginning of something incredibly dangerous.
That night in bed.
Tucked under the covers, Sienna instinctively reached for her neck. Finding her chest bare, she froze and suddenly bolted upright.
She remembered—she had hung it around Jorrod's neck while coaxing him earlier that day.
The momentary cold sweat faded as she collapsed back into bed.
Forget it.
It was so late, Jorrod was probably already fast asleep.
She would just ask him for it tomorrow.
