Chapter 3660
Married at First Sight
Alonzo smiled and said, âOkay, sister, Iâll buy new clothes for you.â
He wasnât short on money. During the holidays, the elders gave him lots of red envelopes. He gave some to his mom to save, and managed the rest himself. If he wanted to buy something, heâd use his own money and even kept track of where it went.
Elora bent down and gently pinched Alonzoâs cheek, smiling. âIf you study hard and listen to me, that will make me happy. Iâm just teasingâyou donât need to buy me clothes. I have more than enough.â
Her closet was full of clothes, many she hadnât even worn yet. She usually wore business suits and only wore casual clothes on weekends. Her mom and aunts loved making her new outfits, even though she didnât need more. They believed a girl should always dress beautifully.
It was the same with jewelry. Elora only wore it to special events, but her mom adored jewelry and would always shop for it when she went out, buying pieces for herself and her daughters. Elora had so much jewelry, she could probably open a store.
âSister, Iâm studying really hard,â Alonzo said. âYou work so hard and take care of Angelo and me. I should buy you a new dress. You canât say no.â
Angelo chimed in, âSister, weâll both buy you new clothes together. Youâll wear them during the New Year!â
Elora smiled, touched by their thoughtfulness, and lovingly patted their faces. âSince you two are being so sweet, Iâll accept. But donât forget, you also have other sistersâ your second, third, and more. You canât just spoil me. If youâre giving gifts, you need to buy two sets of clothes for each sister.â
The brothers fell silent, realizing they hadnât thought of that. They quickly calculated their money, wondering if they had enough to buy two new outfits for each sister.
Their sisters wore expensive designer clothes, and they knew they couldnât buy something less pricey for the other sisters while splurging on Elora. That wouldnât be fair.
It was going to cost a lot.
âWhatâs wrong? Second thoughts about spending all that money?â Elora teased. âItâs easy to talk big until you have to spend the cash!â
Alonzo said, âNo way. When our sisters are on break, weâll all go shopping together, and Iâll buy clothes for everyoneâready-made, not custom.â
Custom clothes were more expensive, and their sisters usually went to top designers. Alonzo knew buying off-the-rack from big brands would still make his sisters happy and wouldnât break the bank.
âAs soon as they find something they like, Angelo and I will buy it that same day!â Alonzo added proudly.
Angelo agreed, âYeah, weâve got it covered.â
It had been a long time since they had gone shopping with their sisters. The older sisters usually went out without them, saying the boys were too young and too much trouble.
But now that they were older and didnât cry as much, it was time to go out with their sisters again, right?
