The Years Between Signing and Seeing novel Chapter 241

“Let’s go.”

Jamie held Suzie’s hand tightly, slowing his pace to match hers.

When they reached the corner, Suzie coldly pulled her hand away.

“That’s enough.”

Jamie frowned, about to say something more, but Suzie had already walked into the store.

Ruby had already picked out several outfits and was just waiting for them to return and pay. Jamie, who had followed them in, promptly took out his card and handed it to the salesperson before turning to Suzie.

“You didn’t pick anything?”

Suzie paused. With her belly growing bigger by the day, she realized she really did need some new clothes.

Before she could speak, Jamie took back his swiped card, pulled a different one from his pocket, and handed it to Ruby.

“There’s a café on the top floor with all sorts of food. Go wait for us there. I’m going to take Suzie to buy some personal items.”

Ruby pouted. “But I haven’t bought any jewelry yet.”

Suzie remained silent, thinking to herself, *The nerve of her. The clothes already cost a small fortune, and she still has the gall to ask for jewelry?*

She pretended not to hear.

After a moment of silence, Jamie took yet another card from his wallet and gave it to Ruby.

“Go buy some.”

Suzie frowned, her hand held tightly in his. It quickly grew sweaty.

While she was still processing his threat, Jamie was already leading her toward the maternity shop on the other side.

“Jamie, wait for me outside. I want to pick things out myself,” Suzie said directly as they reached the entrance. She felt uncomfortable with him hovering over her.

Jamie hesitated for a moment before letting go of her hand. He pressed a card into her palm and said gently, “Buy whatever you want. If you like the store, you can buy that too.”

Suzie glanced at the card but didn’t take it.

Seeing that no one else was around, she lowered her voice. “You already gave me a shopping card. I don’t need another. Oh, and by the way, besides the million I worked off grilling for you yesterday, I still owe you nine million. I’ll start earning it back after the baby is born. My photography skills might not be top-tier, but with a steady job and some freelance work, I should be able to pay you back in due time.”

She paused to take a breath before continuing, “Since it’s compensation for damaged equipment, once I pay for it, the equipment should belong to me. Is that correct, Mr. Baylor?”
