“Shoes?" Ryan raised his brows. "What shoes?"
“Sports shoes. I need a pair of lightweight sports shoes."
Ryan said, “I can shop with you, but you need to pay for your shoes."
Freya was dumbfounded. "You can’t even bear to buy me a pair of shoes? Are you strapped? It should be okay if I choose a pair of shoes costing a few hundred dollars, right?”
"You’re overthinking it. I'm not that strapped."
Ryan snickered and said meaningfully, "I can pay for anything else you want to buy except for shoes. It's not good to give your other half a pair of shoes, especially sports shoes. Once you wear sports shoes, you'll run fast. What if you run away from me? I'll be very pathetic."
Freya was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. She was slightly speechless. "Are you for real?"
"Yeah," Ryan said, "This is the saying from the older generation. Anyway, I have a friend who gave his girlfriend a pair of shoes when they just got into a relationship, but they broke up shortly after. I didn't believe it in the past, but now that I have a girlfriend whom I care about, I don’t want to take the risk."
Freya curled her lips.
Considering how sweetly he spoke, how could she continue to force him?
If she messed things up, she might actually lose him. What should she do then?
"Don't worry." Ryan pinched the back of her hand and said in a tone that was sweet enough to drown her, "After we get married, I can give you however many pairs of shoes you want."
"Get married? That's still a long way to go." Freya deliberately let out a snort.
"I'll wait no matter how far it is.”
He made another sweet comment that could drown her.
Freya leaned forward to kiss him on the cheek. "Start driving."
“Alright, President Lynch."
Ryan fastened the seat belt obediently.
Freya curled up in the seat and laughed. She was always in a good mood when being with him.
"What do you want to eat?"
"I have no idea. Please suggest a place. If the place doesn't serve good food, I'll get even with you."
