Chapter 1556


    “Lena,” Chris said as he gazed at her. “What’s on your mind?”


    Sasha snapped back to reality and instinctively tugged her sleeve down to hide the ck butterfly


    tattoo on her wrist.


    “I-I’d like to go for a walk.” She smiled. “Chris, could we head to the shopping mall?”


    Chris was taken aback. Lena seemed entirely different today.


    Usually content, Lena wasn’t into shopping or splurging on clothes or cosmetics. Fun activities that


    most girls enjoyed didn’t seem to interest her.


    She had never suggested a trip to the shopping mall before!


    Chris felt a sense of reluctance but studied her closely. She was still Lena, yet somehow not quite


    herself.


    “What’s bothering you, Chris?” Sasha tried to mimic Lena, even moving closer as if to hold his hand.


    “Don’t you want to take me there?”


    “Of course.” He smiled but discreetly withdrew his hand. “Let’s go.”


    He led her to DL Mall. Sasha was awestruck by the elegant decor, with well-trained staff greeting them


    upon arrival and even the manager extending a personal wee.


    Everywhere she looked, there were high-end international luxury items that glittered like diamonds,


    boosting her vanity.


    Many were limited editions and required more than just money to acquire. Some brands cared about


    their clientele’s background, making them inessible to outsiders.


    Sasha’s eyes sparkled with excitement.


    Despite Southeast Aciatic’s prosperity, it couldn’t hold a candle to this. In her past life there, she was


    part of the lower ss, with a bit of money but no social status. She had never experienced such daily


    luxury.


    Thinking of how Lena could live like this daily with Chris ignited a venomous jealousy that seemed to


    snake through her every nerve.


    “Which handbag catches your eye, Lena?” Chris suddenly asked.


    Her heart skipped a beat, and she turned quickly to face him, suppressing her thoughts.


    The bags were designer pieces, and only one of each design was avable.


    In Southeast Aciatic, only royalty couldy im to this brand.


    She nearly blurted out, “I want—”


    However, she remembered the photos Zachary had given her and Lena’s true nature. She smiled at


    Chris and shook her head.


    He seemed relieved now.


    Yes, that was his Lena. But what had caused that hint of greed he had seen in her eyes earlier?


    Sasha asked, “Chris, should we explore some other things?”


    “Hmm, sure.” He smiled. “You’re in charge today.”


    “You’re so kind to me…”


    “You silly!” Chris patted her shoulder. “I’m your boyfriend. Who else should I treat well if not you?”


    She bit her lip, feeling a knot in her chest.

    She imitated Lena’s little gesture, ying with her bangs, twirling them with her finger, and tucking


    them behind her ear.


    Chris watched her quietly—it was something Lena often did indeed.


    He grinned. “Your bangs have gotten a bit long, haven’t they?”


    She replied softly, “Hmm… Yes.”


    “Should I trim them for you?”


    “Huh?”


    “Shall we stick to our old rules?”
