    Chapter 1123


    As soon as Ste met the young girl’s eyes, the other party immediately stopped staring and avoided


    her gaze. Ste wondered why she was looking at her when Marshall asked, “What kind of ssware


    are you going to buy?” She returned to her senses and said, “Mugs, I suppose. You?”


    “I need some teacups for the guests.”


    “Don’t you have teacups at home?” Ste wondered. ‘Didn’t he say they have a Thanksgiving dinner


    tradition? How in the world would they not have enough ssware?’


    “Our cupboard that holds the tea sets fell a while ago. Everything was broken, and no one got around


    to buying new ones. So…”


    “I see,” said Ste. ‘How would a cupboard where the tea sets were kept fall for no reason? Did his


    family fight and break all the ssware?’


    The elevator arrived at the fourth floor, and the crowd started getting out. Marshall led Ste straight to


    a store that sold tea sets. The ssware looked pretty, but the prices were not since they were from


    imported brands.


    Ste looked around and found a pair of ss mugs. She picked them up to take a closer look quite


    thick. The cups were made from explosion-proof ss. They looked simple yet beautiful with a little


    color gradient.


    “Those are quite nice,” Marshall walked over and said. “Are you going to get them?”

    Ste nodded. “Yeah. There’s so much to choose from, but these caught my eye.”


    Marshall turned to the seller and said, “Wrap these up for me and ring them up.”


    Ste was stunned when she heard that. “No. Wait. We’ll split the bill,” she hurriedly said.


    Marshallughed. “It’s not even that expensive, Ste. Don’t worry.”


    Ste waved her hand and said, “It isn’t for you. These are several hundred dors per piece. That’s a


    lot of money. You can’t keep doing this, or I’ll run from you the next time I see you.”


    Marshall could not resist her, so he sighed and smiled. “It’s just some mugs. There’s no need to take it


    so seriously.”


    “Then, how about I pay for yours?” Ste asked.


    Marshall then handed her the ssware he had chosen and said, “Here you go. Thanks.”


    Ste was at a loss for words. ‘I was clearly just trying to make an analogy…’ she thought. However,


    she still reached out to grab the teacups. Marshall suddenly pulled his hand away and said, “Oh, never


    mind.”


    “What’s wrong?”


    “I’m afraid that you’d regret it when you get home and block my socials,” Marshall raised an eyebrow


    and said.


    Ste red at him and said, “What kind of person do you think I am?!” Then, she generously told the


    salesperson to put everything on her card.


    Marshall smiled and did not try to fight her. “I’ll wait for you over here,” he said.


    ‘I can’t believe him,’ thought Ste.


    There were a lot of people in the store at that time. While queuing at the checkout line, Ste felt


    someone staring at her. She turned to the side and saw a youngdy in her twenties taking pictures of


    her with her phone. The girl hid her phone and pretended to look at the cups and sses when she


    noticed Ste ncing at her.


    Ste looked away but could feel a pair of eyes staring at her again after a while. When she turned her


    head this time, the girl’s phone was three feet away. It was apparent that she was secretly taking


    pictures of her.
