Mommy，We Got a Husband by Doris

Chapter 13 Proud of You

Harry had always been independent, so Galatea wasn't overly worried when he headed off to the bathroom by himself.

As soon as he saw them enter a children's clothing store, Caspian raced across the street to the bank, knowing that two days had passed. If his dad hadn't found him by now, there would have likely been missing person flyers everywhere. The fact that everything was calm meant that his dad might have thought Harry was him and had been taken back by mistake.

Caspian withdrew some money from the account Alaric had set up for him, then went back to the store and bought the clothes Galatea had hesitated to purchase, he also picked up a pair of pajamas from a specialty store that Elisa was fond of. "What took you so long?" asked Galatea and Elisa, who had been waiting for quite some time.

"Honestly, I didn't go to the restroom," Caspian confessed, bringing forward the items he was hiding behind his back. "Mom, Elisa, these are for you."

When they saw the clothes, Galatea was utterly astonished, and so was Elisa, who quickly inquired, "Did you buy these for us?" "Yes."

"Where did you get the money? I saw earlier that these clothes were very expensive!" Elisa asked.

"Yeah, Harry, you have to explain this!" How could a five-year-old afford such pricey clothes?" Galatea chimed in.

Caspian pursed his lips and finally revealed, "Mom, I've been keeping something from you. I entered an international kids' math competition, and I won first place. There was a significant cash prize."

He wasn't lying; he had indeed participated in an international kids' math competition, secured first place, and received a substantial cash reward.

Galatea and Elisa looked at each other, shocked once more.
