Chapter 118
“Yes, there isn’t a limit,” the cashier repeated, and explained, “The spending limit of Centurion Cards is upward of a billion.”
As a matter of fact, only the super-rich could afford the set of china Irene had picked.
Being an employee there, the cashier had naturally met many such individuals, and more or less understood the way things worked among the upper-class.
On the other hand, Irene was dumbstruck, but she soon remembered Isaac’s words.
“You can buy anything you want.”
She finally understood that now… but how could she bear to accept so much money from him?
Meanwhile, the cashier had already gift-wrapped the tea set, and Mrs. Watson walked up to carry it for Irene.
“Your card, ma’am.” The cashier then returned the card, holding it with both hands once
more.
As Irene took it, she suddenly found it so heavy she would drop it–but it was just a card.
.She thought Isaac was joking when he told her that she loved her, and did not take it seriously.
But why would he give this card to her if he was not serious?
She smiled bitterly-money could really buy a woman’s heart, could it not?
And she was no exception!
In reality, it was not the money, but Isaac’s sincerity-like the tramp who would happily give out all six coins he had in his pocket to a downtrodden child.
“Where should we go next, Mrs. Jefferson? Are we getting something else?” Mrs. Watson asked softly when she noticed that Irene was spacing out.
Coming to her senses, Irene said, “No. We’re leaving.”
“Are you realizing that your husband is treating you well?” Mrs. Watson smiled then.
Irene stayed silent, even though she could feel that in her heart.
She would never admit it, however, because there was no way she and Isaac could be real spouses now she had a child, and it was not Isaac’s.
Would he be willing to be the stepfather to someone else’s child?
