Melissa nibbled her lips, rendering her speechless for a prolonged moment.
Eventually, she pivoted and strolled ahead without saying anything.
Trailing behind, Marcus tenderly enveloped her shoulder with his arm, questioning, âAre you upset?â
âNo,â she replied, her voice slightly nasal and subdued.
âBut can you refrain from doing this in public? Teasing me at home is fine.
â
Abruptly, Marcus pulled her towards him, and Melissa found herself enveloped in his embrace.
Her face nestled in his chest, attuned to his rhythmic heartbeat.
She waited in silence, only to receive a soft press of his Lips on her forehead.
Melissaâs face flushed once again, but this blush held a distinct quality compared to the previous one.
âI see,â Marcus uttered in a husky voice.
The surrounding crowd faded into insignificance, their presence irrelevant.

Gently embracing his waist, Melissa rose on tiptoes, planting a ki*s on his chin.
A blush painted her cheeks as she murmured, âThatâs good.
â
Marcus yearned for a ki*s, but with the bustling crowd around, he settled for intertwining their hands instead.
Two hours of shopping ensued, with Marcus consistently treating her to various purchases.
Her most cherished item was a pair of pearl stud earrings.
She immediately adorned herself with them the moment she saw them, reluctant to part with them.
Marcus, too, found them exquisite.
Subsequently, she pulled him towards a store specializing in Leather goods.
She intended to select a wallet for him, although he already possessed a variety of wallets, numbering at least a couple of dozen.
Despite his lack of enthusiasm, she insisted on choosing one for him.
Deliberately selecting the most affordable option, she ultimately footed the bill.
As she settled the payment, Marcus stood behind her.
While she counted the money with a touch of dismay, he reveled in delight.
Leaning down, he rested his chin on her head, tenderly embracing her.
Seated in the car, Melissa grumbled softly, âBeing with you is quite costly.
â
Earning that much money would require her to toil for several days.
Meanwhile, Marcus busied himself switching wallets.
Smirking, he remarked, âYou havenât had a good time? Melissa, you canât be with a guy like me without spending tens of thousands of dollars each time.
You can calculate how much youâve benefited from me each day.
How can you bring up money with me?â
