Sir Ares, Goodnight

The employee at the hardware section recommended him various types of locks. "Just give us the most expensive one," Rose said with a smile.

The employee handed her the most expensive fingerprint lock, and Rose put it in her shopping cart.

As they left the hardware section, Jay told her, "I used to have this habit of always buying the most expensive thing, but a silly girl told me that the most expensive thing isn't always the best. I've since changed my habit because she never stops bickering about it. Now, I always survey for the most suitable item instead of the most expensive one."

"Should I change another one?" She felt extremely awkward.

"That's too much trouble," he said nonchalantly.

Rose pouted. "That silly girl is right. You might be rich, but you shouldn't be tricked into spending more than you need to. She's not the silly one; you are."

She smiled like a blooming flower for successfully speaking up for herself.

Jay felt warmth in his heart when he saw that she was happy, even though she might have gotten the last word.

He was happy as long as she was happy.
