The toys Luca chose cost several thousands for each set. They were displayed in the store, and only people who were financially well-off could afford them.

Besides, the shop assistant noticed that the books Luca bought were suited for three different age groups of kids, so she came to such a conclusion.

"Well, that's her business. As for you, you better get married soon if you're so envious of her," teased another shop assistant.

"I'd like to, but I'm not as lucky as others. Okay, that's it. Let me make a phone call to place an order. The customer who came just now bought several sets of toys. We've run out of stock. I'll have to reorder some. Otherwise, it won't look good when customers come and see empty shelves," said the shop assistant as she picked up the phone to place an order with the supplier.

Not long after Luca left the shop, she turned around and came back.

When the shop assistant saw her come back, she warmly approached her and asked, "Ma'am, is there anything else you need?"

"Well, I'd like to buy some snacks for kids," replied Luca. Even though she could make snacks and dessert for the kids, she had no time for that when she was busy.

Previously, when she sent the kids back to Crawford Manor, she also brought all the snacks from the villa there. This saved herself the trouble of buying separately for both homes.

Hence, there were no snacks for the kids at home at the moment.

Tommy got hungry really easily. He would get a bit cranky if he did not have some snacks.

That was why Luca remembered to come back here to buy some.

"Snacks for kids, huh? We have a variety here, and most of them are imported with no harmful additives. Kids can eat these without affecting their health," said the sales assistant. Many snacks on the market contained all sorts of additives these days. This spiel was used to attract customers to buy their store's snacks, and it worked pretty well.

Their snacks were a bit pricey, but many parents were still willing to buy them for the sake of their kids.

"Okay." Luca did not pay too much attention to what the salesperson said. She picked some of the kids' favorites and asked, "Are there any new imported snacks?"

"Yes, Ma'am. These are newly imported," the sales assistant introduced.

Luca carefully examined the ingredient list on the new snacks. Then, she picked two more items and said, "These will be enough. Let's settle the bill."
