After he made sure the mark on her face left by Xanthe was fully covered by his own. Walter finally let go, satisfied Seeing her dejected look, he smirked and said, "Looks like you've been saving quite a bit behind my back." Shakira quickly explained, "I've spent it all now; there's not much left!"
Walter seemed unconcerned and asked, "So why didn't you use the card I gave you?"
Shakira scratched her head and replied. "If I used your money. I still need to pay it back, so I might as well use my own."
Walter cleared his throat, sensing a subtle, unspoken jab in her words. In the past, he'd pressured her to pay him back. because he feared she'd disappear without a trace someday.
She had entered his life so unexpectedly that he'd wanted something to keep her around. But now, those external things didn't seem necessary.

"Oh my gosh! I thought it was some random, foolish person bidding against me. You thought I wanted it, so you tried to get it for me!"
"At first, yes, but I eventually realized what you were thinking."
Shakira patted her chest, relieved. "Good thing you caught on, or you might've ended up buying that overpriced necklace."
Her concern brought Walter a sense of contentment. He took another serious look at the necklace before saying, "It's beautiful. It'll suit my aunt perfectly."
