Mommy，We Got a Husband by Doris

Chapter 61 Getting the Marriage Paperwork Done

"Harry, you really don't want to splurge on a gift for Mom, huh?" Elisa teased.

"Alright, alright, enough already," Harry grumbled, clearly worn down by Elisa's persistence. "Wait here. I'm gonna step outside to think about the password, and I'll be right back."

Once he stepped outside, Harry felt a wave of frustration and took a while to psych himself up. Finally, he removed Caspian from the blocked list on his phone and dialed his number. Caspian had been trying to reach Harry for days without success, knowing he'd been blocked, so when he saw Harry's call come in, he was ecstatic and answered immediately.

But before he could utter a word, Harry's scolding came through loud and clear: "Caspian, give me back my kind-hearted, simple sister!"

"What do you mean?" Caspian asked, utterly confused.

"What do I mean?" Harry shot back, indignant. "Elisa used to be thrifty and modest. But look at her now. You buy her silk pajamas that cost a fortune, she has piles of gadgets, and anything she wants she gets from you. You've completely spoiled her, you know that?"

"If a sister is as adorable as Elisa," Caspian replied seriously, "a brother ought to buy her whatever she likes, no questions asked."

"You've got the money, you buy her stuff. I don't have that kind of cash," Harry continued his rant. "Now she throws money around like it's nothing, wants everything she sees. And talking her out of it? Forget it."

Caspian couldn't help but chuckle with an indulgent smile, then hurriedly added, "Harry, if the new habits are too much for you, we can go back to how things were."

"Hah, you wish, Caspian!" Harry immediately shot down the idea.

"So, is that why you called? Just to chew me out?"

"Partly to set you straight, but there's something else...," Harry reluctantly began, hesitating before pushing on. "I called today because... it's Mom's birthday soon, and Elisa insists on buying her a gift, so..." "Mom's birthday is coming up?" Caspian immediately latched onto this crucial bit of information. "When? I should..."

"It's my mom's birthday, not yours. Dial down the excitement," Harry interjected, bringing him back to earth. "Let me finish. Elisa's got her eye on this really expensive necklace, she's dead set on buying it, and..."
