Rose looked at the bags in his hands, dumbfounded. "Why did you buy so many?!" she thought it was only the two that she had just tried.
"One for each day of the month." Caesar ordered.
"That's too wasteful. You could've donated all this money to whoever needs it much better." Rose scolded him.
The little woman in front of him kept bombarding him, which made Caesar slowly come back to reality.
"You are probably the only one in the world who would talk to the man that just bought you a lot of clothes like this."
"It's just such a waste. Can we get them refund?"
Caesar pulled the little woman away, "Don't you have grocery to do? It's getting late. I wanna have lunch, lunch that you cook."
"Yeah, the supermarket." Rose's attention was easily drawn away by him.
"What do you wanna eat leater?"
"Anything you cook."
They got out of the car while talking. When they got into the car, a woman in a red dress came out from behind a pillar.
She looked at the car without blinking, and muttered a few words with her red lips, "Cesar, I'm back..."
They were like a couple who had just got married. They arrived at the daily necessities area as soon as they entered the supermarket.
"I'm going to buy a toothbrush. There's none left at home."
Caesar patiently accompanied her to the toothbrushes, and Rose looked at all of the toothbrushes one by one. "This one comes with a spare one. No, that one, that one's a buy-one-get-three."
When she was about to buy the most cost-effective type of toothbrush, Caesar had already taken a pile of toothbrushes and threw them in.
"That one costs fifty bucks each, put them back!" Rose felt like her purse was bleeding.
"If it's expensive, it's good. Besides, these are not the best ones." Caesar said indifferently. The electric toothbrush he used cost thousands of dollars apiece.
Only then did Rose realize how rich this man really was.
"What else do you want to buy?"
"Towels." Rose didn't want to argue anymore.
Rose chose a pink towel, while Caesar held a black one in his hand.
"I don't like black." Rose shook her head.
"This is mine. I'll move over and live with you in the future." Caesar spoke as if that was his decision to make.
"When did I, I agree to live with you?"
"That is my house. I don't need your permission to live in it, do I?" Caesar raised his eyebrows amusingly.
Rose smiled bitterly and said, "You're bullying me." "No, I'm afraid that you will be lonely. Besides, I like the feeling of living with you very much. Don't you?"
"Yeah... I guess I do too." In fact, she liked it a lot.
"That's good. From now on, you have to get used to life with me in it, and I will get used to you." Caesar's voice was gentle, and Rose looked into his affectionate eyes.
"Caesar, have you really thought it through? You should know that this is not a game for me. I want your whole heart."
"Perhaps you think it's a little frivolous for me to say something like that not long after we met, but I really want to tell you that I'm telling the truth. I've already decided on you."
"I know. You don't need to lie to me with your status."
How could a rich person like Caesar spend time to fool around with a mere girl?
"What else do you want to buy?"
"Food. Over there."
"All right."
They talked and laughed and bought a lot of things. Caesar never thought that one day he would go to the supermarket with a woman, carrying things like onions and ginger.
When Rose used to do grocery with Sofia, she had always been the one carrying the bags because Sofia had always been quite feeble and fragile.
She had never been taken care of or doted on like she was this day.
