Chapter 714


    Majay still, even deliberately lifting her shoulder a bit to make it morefortable for him.


    By nine o’clock, the mall was open.


    She was about to wake him up when she saw that he was already awake, like he had an internal rm


    clock.


    He helped her out of the car while Jeff quietly followed, carrying the stuff.


    need this?”


    Maja had looked it up online before, so she nodded, and they ended up buying a bunch of Christmas


    lights.


    Last night, while the city was full of fireworks, they were making love, missing all the fireworks. So, now


    he eagerly asked her, “Wanna see some fireworks?”


    Probably not many women would say no to that.


    Maja nodded again.


    Suddenly, he ced a hand on her shoulder and said in a low tone, “I see you know exactly what to


    buy, so you were just trying to appease me with that wreath, weren’t you?”


    He was still holding a grudge.


    Knowing she was in the wrong, Maja quickly apologized, “Sorry for the previous night.”


    “Don’t do that again.”


    He pinched her earlobe and then they moved on.


    They took so much stuff that Jeff couldn’t carry it all, so they called in more bodyguards.


    Just the fireworks filled up a whole truck.


    Finally, Jeff suggested ton, “Boss, there arepanies that specialize in firework disys. You can


    tell them what you want to see tonight.”


    Buying fireworks was fun, but it can be chaotic.


    Being the perfectionist thatn was, he’d probably prefer something designed by others who had


    control over this sort of thing.


    fireworks with her that night sounded nice.


    It’d be even better if they could reserve a nice restaurant, with the whole sky full of fireworks.


    “Jeff, book that restaurant by the river. It’s the best ce to watch the fireworks.”


    N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    “Okay.”


    Jeff thought to himself, “Finally, the boss is showing some romance.”


    Aftern finished, he caught up to Maja, reached out quietly, and took her hand.


    Maja had never walked through the mall holding hands like that. She paused, then lowered her head,


    epting his gesture.


    They were both a bit shy, like school kids..


    Even though they’d made love many times, they’d never acted like that before.


    She shook her head.


    “What about your family? Aren’t they going to say anything about you spending Christmas with me?”


    Maja froze, then calmly said, “They’ve all passed away.”


    Just like that, the casual atmosphere between them evaporated.


    This was the first timen had asked about her family. He wasn’t ready for that kind of answer.


    He was silent for a moment, realizing he’d picked the wrong topic, and then walked into a luxury goods


    store to lift their mood.


    This was the ce where Maja had bought the agarwood bracelet. The salesperson recognized her


    instantly.


    Such a rare agarwood bracelet, and she was lucky to find it.


    “Oh, it’s you, Miss.”


    The saleswoman was all smiles, “Are you buying a men’s bracelet again today?”


    Her eyes rested onn for a moment before she blushed.


    “We’ve got new stock in; would you like to take a look?”


    A men’s bracelet?


    Hearing that,n frowned.


    She’d bought a men’s bracelet before?


    For whom?


    Was that for her ex–husband?


    Today, Maja had no intention of buying anything. After payingn’s rent, she was a bit strapped for


    cash. She still had two TV dramas to shoot, so she needed to cut back on expenses. She shook her


    head, ready to leave withn.


    Butn stood still and said, “I need to buy a gift for my mom, Maja. You go check out that side first.”


    Maja didn’t suspect a thing.


    When she walked away,n casually asked the saleswoman,


    “How much was the men’s bracelet she boughtst time?”


    The saleswoman had been in the business for years and instantly recognized the usatory tone in


    his voice. She immediately realized that she might have caused trouble by mentioning that.


    Maybe they were a wealthy couple and Maja had bought the bracelet for her lover. No wonder she left


    so quickly, probably afraid of being found out. The saleswoman was confused. Maja’s husband was so


    handsome, why would she need a lover?


    “Sir, that’s the customer’s privacy, I can’t disclose that. I’m sorry.”


    such a small thing, so she quickly answered truthfully, “Around half a million dors.”


    Half a million! Maja, who usually lived frugally, was willing to spend half a million on a gift for a man.


    <pn felt a surge of jealousy, like he was choking.
