From what he was able to hear, Gerald was able to piece the reason for their argument together.
Essentially, Sharon had broken up with Murphy without giving him a proper explanation. Her only excuse was that she wanted some time to herself.
This was very reminiscent of the time Xavia had broken up with him. F*ck. She had said the exact same thing to him too. That she wanted some time alone.
He really shouldn’t be thinking about her anymore.
Shaking his head, he turned his focus on the duo’s argument again.
The rest of the story was rather straightforward. Murphy had not been convinced with her excuse from the very beginning. He later found out that Sharon was getting very close to a rich heir.
What more, Sharon’s friend had also told him that Sharon had been actively pursuing said heir.
Because of that, Murphy now had conflicted feelings for Sharon.
On one hand, he was still in love with her. On the other, he felt betrayed.
Thus, Murphy had been trying to get Sharon to reconcile with him for some time now. He simply wanted to do so because even he had his own dignity as a man.
All that eventually led to the current scene in the jewelry shop.
Now, Sharon was telling Murphy to buy her a piece of jewelry from Trinity Jewelers. She said that she would return to his side as long as he could afford to buy her even a single piece of jewelry.
That was going to be a difficult task for Murphy.
The items there were all atrociously expensive. Even the cheapest piece of jewelery there would have a price tag of up to four thousand and five hundred dollars. Murphy had just started working so he definitely wouldn’t have that kind of money.
“Sharon, the jewelry here is much too expensive. Could we please go to another shop instead? As long as it doesn’t exceed a thousand and five hundred dollars I’ll definitely get it for you.”
Murphy had a determined voice and expression on his face as he said this.
“Hehe… You want me to be your girlfriend when all you can afford is one thousand and five hundred dollars? Are you daft, Murphy? This cell phone alone that Hayward bought for me costs at least a thousand dollars!” replied Sharon as she sneered.
