The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife
Chapter 298
Three hours later, Grace returned to Golden Castle Residences in the dark evening. As she opened the door, Eder noticed the numerous bags she carried, which seemed taller than her.
âDid youâ¦go on a shopping spree?â
Grace smiled awkwardly. âWell, you know, girls canât resist a good deal. There were discounts and promotions at the mall, so I couldnât help myself. I thought they were quite affordable, so I bought a few things.â
Eder was taken aback. âWho wouldnât want to save money? If you can buy things at a lower price, why not? Iâm not foolish!â
Eder admired her, âYouâre such a good planner! Youâll definitely make a great wife, thrifty and diligent!â
Grace chuckled at his serious tone.
âAlright, enough with the flattery. Come and help me unpack the bags. I bought a lot of winter clothes for you.â
He looked at the pile of beautiful shopping bags in disbelief, stunned by the extent of her shopping spree.
âYou bought all these for me?â
Grace raised an eyebrow and shamelessly replied, âWell, most of them were buy one get one free, and there was a 50% off sale. I noticed that you donât wear this style very often, so I thought Iâd buy them for you.â
She took out a light gray wool sweater from one of the bags and handed it to him.
âTry it on and see if it fits.â
â
Eder frowned and rejected the sweater in her hands. âI never wear this kind of thing in winter, especially with a high collar!â
âThat was in the past. From now on, whenever Iâm around, youâll have to wear it. Staying warm is the priority. You have a great figure, and anything looks good on you.â
She playfully poked his waist with the woolen sweater. âBe a good sport and give it a try. Itâs the first time Iâve personally bought clothes for a man. Are you up for it?â
Despite her smile, there was an underlying threat in her words, evident from her clenched teeth.
Eder sighed and reluctantly took the sweater. He quickly took off his suit and shirt, obediently. changing into the woolen sweater. Then, Grace handed him a dark gray woolen coat.
He didnât dare to refuse and put it on as well.
Grace then personally helped him wrap the new scarf she had bought.
Eder, now without his suit, lost some of his cold and domineering aura, and looked quite pleasant.
However, his delicate features, especially his eyebrows and eyes, made him stand out from ordinary young men.
Grace was extremely satisfied and affectionately pinched his handsome face.
âYou look so handsome. From now on, Eder, you should always wear this. Iâm tired of seeing you in suits and bow ties.â
Eder lowered his head and looked at his outfit. Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, and he felt a

little apprehensive.
âGrace, you didnâtâ¦you didnât buy me a down jacket, did you?â
He would suffocate in those thick clothes, wrapped up like a dumpling!
However, within a few minutes, his anxiety turned into relief as he saw Grace open the other shopping bags.
She took out two long down jackets that resembled big pillows. Both were black but differed in style.
Grace said, âEder, you really understand me. Not only did I buy down jackets, but I also got you thermal underwear, thick cotton pants, and warm socks. Oh, and I even bought two black fox fur coats that are super warm, perfect for when itâs snowing and freezingâ¦
She continued speaking, but Eder seemed to have been struck by lightning, his face paling.
Thermal underwear, thick cotton pants-just thinking about it was a nightmare!
He refused to wear them!
Absolutely not!
However, he underestimated his own psychological limits.
Because Grace said, âCome on, Eder, I bought matching sets for all the clothes. Weâll wear them all tonight, and I want to take some photos!â
Ederâs heart was struck by another bolt of lightning!
Not only did he have to wear them, but he also had to be photographed!
This was worse than death!
His chest tightened, and he glared at the pile of shopping bags, grinding his teeth. âAre you trying to push me to my limits?â
Grace sat up on the sofa, crossed her legs, and tapped her arm with her slender fingers. She raised an eyebrow and stared at him. âIâm pushing your limits. Do you want to wear them or not?â
Ederâs dark eyes met her cold gaze.
After a minute of standoff, Eder conceded.
âIâll wear them! I must wear them! In front of you, I have no limits.â
He pursed his lips and smiled softly. âAfter all, Grace personally chose them for me. Itâs an honor!â
Grace laughed, stood up, rewarded him with a kiss on the lips, and then took his hand, leading the pile of newly bought winter clothes back to the bedroom.
She turned on the heater in the bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed with her camera, quietly admiring Ederâs fashion show as he changed outfits. She snapped a photo of his bitter and cold expression.
This process was torture for Eder.
But for Grace, it was pure joy.
She could unabashedly admire his handsome face and perfect physique. Occasionally, she would act playfully and pinch his abs, indulging in her mischief.
After nearly half an hour of tossing and turning. Eder finally finished trying on all the clothes Grace had bought.

Grace sat cross-legged in the middle of the bed, flipping through the camera in her hands, admiring the private photos she had just taken.
With Ederâs chin on her shoulder, he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, his
cycs tired.
âGrace, Iâve changed into a down jacket and cotton pants. Since Iâve worked so hard, can I have a small reward tonight?â
His voice was weak, softly pleading, and filled with longing.
Grace put down the camera, turned around, and supported his shoulder, allowing him to lean into her arms with his head resting on her shoulder.
Her fingers gently h ooked onto the edge of her silk clothes. She was gentle and caring.
Eder looked up at her. âWhat kind of reward do, you want?â
She pursed her lips and smiled. âAnything other than moving back in and sleeping together is fine.â
Eder looked crestfallen. âYou know what I wantâ¦â
âBe patient.â Grace stroked his face and kissed his forehead.
He hummed softly, sulking silently.
This time, Grace didnât console him as usual.
Instead, she covered the strange look in her eyes and said seriously. âIâve been quite busy at Angle recently. I might not be able to video call you at noon to remind you to take your medicine. I might come back late, or maybe I wonât be able to come back at allâ¦â
Eder looked at her, his eyes filled with concern. âMaybe what?â
She forced a smile and replied, âItâs nothing. Itâs getting late. Letâs go to bed early, alright?â
Eder held onto her waist, refusing to let go. He furrowed his brow and looked at her intently. âYou promised me a reward, and it hasnât been fulfilled yet! I canât sleep!â
âWhat do you want?â
He pondered for a moment, concealing the mischievous glimmer in his eyes, and nuzzled his face.
against her neck weakly.
âIâm exhausted from trying on all those clothes. I was sweating a lot earlier. How aboutâ¦let me take a bath?â
