Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Thanks to Nicolass indulgence , Noelle had gone on an unchecked shopping spree , filling bags with both essentials and frivolities alike .

Every time Kimberly watched her daughter shop like she was stocking up for the apocalypse , her heart clenched with worry .

Sure , Nicolas had offered to foot the bill , but Noelle wasnt showing even a shred of restraint .

Kimberly couldnt help but fret .

What if Nicolas sees how greedy she is and gets scared of ? But when she glanced at Nicolas , her concerns dissolved into disbelief .

Nicolas stood there , his perfectly sculpted lips curled into a faint smile , his eyes glowing with indulgence .

His gaze never wavered from Noelle , as if the world outside of her ceased to exist .

Whenever she picked out yet another pile of items , he remained utterly unfazed , calmly instructing his assistant to pay .

If anything , he seemed to encourage her .

He almost looked like he wanted Noelle to buy more .

The sheer amount of spoiling and enabling was Maggering .

Mr.

Sawyer , Kimberly began tentatively , unable to keep her unease hidden .

Dont you think weve shopped enough for today ? She couldnt even recall how many stores theyd been to , but a rough calculation placed the total damage somewhere around 20 million dollars .

Sure , the Sawyer family was far wealthier than the Andersons , but Nicolas was just one heir among many .

Surely , this level of extravagance would raise eyebrows back home Nicolas turned to Kimberly with his trademark polite smile .

Noelle hasnt finished shopping yet .

If you or Miss Anderson are tired , Ive arranged for refreshments on the fifteenth floor .

Youre welcome to rest there Youre very considerate , Kimberly said .

Its only natural , Nicolas replied , his voice smooth and steady .

Well all be family soon , after all Kimberly was taken aback .

His words and actions left no room for criticism Her mind reeled .
