As soon as she opened the door, Cedrick saw her carrying bags of various sizes. These bags could easily stack up to a height taller than an average person.

“D–Did you just rob a mall?”

Gwendolyn flashed an awkward grin.“You need to understand what a girl wants. Besides, there are discounts and buy–one–free–one and buy–two–free–three deals everywhere in the mall. How can I resist? I bought them because they were quite cheap.”

Cedrick froze for a moment before exposing her lie. “You’re not poor. Why would you care about those marketing gimmicks in the mall?”

Gwendolyn refuted, “What nonsense is that? This has nothing to do with me being rich or poor. If I can get them at a lower price, why should I buy them at full price? I’m a frugal spender, okay?”

Cedrick was impressed. “Gwenny, I like that you’re careful with your spending. I have no doubt you’ll make an excellent wife who can take care of the family’s finances!”

Gwendolyn chuckled in amusement upon hearing that. “All right, enough with the sweet talk. Come and help me unpack these. I bought lots of winter attire for you.”

He stared at all the exquisite shopping bags in disbelief. “Y–You bought all these for me?”

Gwendolyn arched her brows and casually fibbed, “Well, most of them were buy one, get one free, and there was a fifty–percent off sale. I may have accidentally bought too many because I haven’t seen you wear this style much.” As she spoke, she picked a light–gray sweater from the bag and passed it to him. “Here. Put this on and see if it fits.”

Cedrick frowned, refusing to accept the sweater from her. “I don’t wear this kind of sweater during winter, especially a turtleneck one!”

“From now on, you have to because I’m with you. You have to keep yourself warm. You have a nice model–like body, so I’m sure everything you wear will fit you like a glove.” She nudged his waist several times while holding the sweater. “Go and put it on. This is my first time buying clothes for a man. How could you turn me down?”

Despite having a smile on her face, she was gritting her teeth when she uttered the last sentence with a hint of threat.

Cedrick sighed and accepted the sweater. He then remove his shirt and put on a knitted garment.

Not long after, Gwendolyn handed him another dark gray wool coat, and once again, Cedrick complied and put it on.

Then, Gwendolyn personally helped him wrap the new scarf she bought around his neck.
