Charles was waiting outside when Liam called .

He couldn't help feeling conflicted - work issues were pressing on his mind . On one side , he was savoring this chance to do something new with Teresa ; on the other , business was piling up and demanding his attention . After wrestling with his thoughts , Charles finally picked up Liam's call . Clearly , this was something urgent with work that needed his immediate attention . Just then , Teresa walked out of the fitting room , glanced at herself in the mirror , and decided she looked good enough . Without hesitation , she told the salesperson , " I'll take all of these .

" If she didn't splurge with Charles's money now , who knew if she'd ever get another shot ? All these years of marriage , and she'd almost never spent any of his money . No way was she going to let herself walk away with nothing after everything . Since the divorce wasn't final yet , Teresa was determined to spend every penny she could - no way she'd let herself miss out . Charles had just finished his call and stood up , saying to Teresa , " I might need to head back to the office . " At his words , the smile on Teresa's face was instantly wiped away .

The salesperson , who was about to start packing all those clothes , froze mid - action when she heard Charles mention leaving . Getting all these outfits would probably cost over $ 150,000 - talk about a small fortune . Just looking at Teresa , the salesperson figured she probably couldn't afford all that by herself . And the guy beside her - the one who actually had the money - picked that exact moment to say he had to go back to work .

" Take it . Get whatever you want . I'm heading back to the office - later I'll come pick you up . " It was a black card , and both Teresa and the salesperson's eyes went wide .

That kind of card wasn't something you saw every day . Teresa didn't even think of handing it back - she pocketed it in a heartbeat . ' No way was I letting this chance . pass , ' she thought . She gave Charles a bright smile . " Okay . " Seeing her smile , Charles reached out and gave her a gentle pat on the head , his voice filled with soft affection . " If only you could always stay this sweet ." Teresa didn't respond - she kept silent , her thoughts swirling but her lips sealed . The salesperson watched Charles being so tender with Teresa , envy and jealousy bubbling up inside .

' Why can't my life be like hers ? ' she thought . Before heading out , Charles gave Teresa a hug and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead , then strode away . After watching Charles leave , Teresa turned to the salesperson and announced , " I want to try on absolutely every outfit you've got . " She wasn't out to make trouble for anyone - she just genuinely wanted to burn through Charles's money , and that was that . ' If I don't spend it now , he'll probably just blow it all on Naomi later anyway , Teresa thought , a little smirk tugging at her lips .

' Might as well treat myself while I have the chance - after all these years of putting my heart on the line , I absolutely deserve it , ' she silently reassured herself . The moment the staff realized Teresa was a whale of a customer, they started buzzing around her , falling over themselves to give the VIP treatment . Teresa had tried on quite a few outfits , and honestly , none of them really satisfied her .

Still , she told the salesperson , " Go ahead and bag them up anyway ." She didn't care how tired she was - she just kept at it in the fitting room , trying on one outfit after another . At that moment , someone gave a gentle knock on the fitting room door . No one said anything outside , but Teresa guessed it was probably just the salesperson , so she cracked the door open a bit . There was a curtain hanging outside the fitting room , and without bothering to check who was actually there , Teresa simply went right back to trying on clothes .

Teresa struggled a little , but the man behind her just dropped his chin onto her shoulder , his voice hoarse and tinged with weariness as he chuckled , " Don't move . Let me hold you , just for a bit ." It was Troy - and unlike his usual deep , steady voice , now it was worn out and full of exhaustion . 曲
