The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1534

"Well, Leila. Thank you, but..." Melissa was touched. She hadn't expected Leila to buy her so many things. Although she said she didn't want them, she felt overjoyed deep down. It was becoming increasingly difficult to conceal her excitement.

"Don't mention it, Aunt Melissa. We're good friends, and these are simply gifts. I hope you like them," Leila replied.

Melissa happily accepted. The items weren't cheap, but Leila didn't show a shred of hesitation when she paid for them. It seemed as though she didn't care how much they cost at all.

Leila's generosity filled Melissa with joy. Since Charles cut her off, she hadn't been able to go shopping and spending lavishly.

"How about this purse? Do you like it? I think it suits you," Leila remarked, examining an ordinary-looking purse.

Melissa took it and looked at it carefully. She liked everything about it, from style to color. It seemed Leila truly knew what she liked.

She flipped the tag, casually checking the price. She was stunned. The purse was not especially eye-catching, but its price was outrageous.

Melissa thought for a while. She liked the purse, but she knew that if she said so, Leila would definitely buy it for her. It was too expensive, and to be honest, she didn't want Leila to spend any more than she had already done. She already bought her too many things.

Leila seemed to guess what was on Melissa's mind. Before Melissa could even respond, Leila had already waved a saleswoman over to them.

"Hello. We'll take this purse," she said.

"Leila, it's too expensive. Please don't..." Melissa waved a hand, politely refusing Leila's generosity.

"Well..." The saleswoman stood still. She didn't know what to do next.

"Pack it up," Leila simply said. She then turned her head to look at Melissa. "Aunt Melissa, it's just a purse. It's just a small token of appreciation for taking care of me while I was staying with the Lu family. Please accept it."

When Melissa heard Leila's determined tone, she gave up and accepted the purse.

They continued shopping. Leila bought some outfits for Melissa, all of them from luxury brands.

Melissa already had plenty of clothes, but just like many women, she also liked dressing herself up. She didn't reject any more of Leila's gifts. More importantly, Leila praised her whenever she tried on a dress. This greatly delighted her.

"Leila, how about getting that one for yourself? The color is great, and I think it suits you," Melissa said to Leila earnestly as she pointed to a dress.

At that moment, Melissa already felt like Leila was her own daughter. Everything she said to Leila was with utmost sincerity.

Leila looked at the dress. Immediately, she felt like laughing at Melissa. The woman was born to a rich family, but she had been in prison for years. In addition, she had aged, and she had been hanging around with other rich women who had worse taste than hers. Her own fashion sense seemed to be getting worse day by day.

Of course, Leila didn't tell Melissa any of this. She just smiled and said, "Today, I'm not buying myself anything. I'm only shopping for you."
