Shelly was touched but hesitated upon hearing the price.
No matter how beautiful it looked, her interest in the item faded if the price exceeded her estimation.
"Let's go somewhere else!" Shelly wanted to pull Hayden out of the shop.
Since they managed to purchase four dolls at normal prices, she wanted to find another store that sold products that were not overly expensive.
Hayden remained unwavering. "You like this shawl, right? We can buy this and go elsewhere after that."
The price of the shawl hardly meant anything to him. He rarely went shopping, and anything one could find in ordinary shops was not expensive for him.
Since Shelly seemed to like the shawl, he wanted to buy it for her.
He did not care if Shelly wanted to keep the shawl for herself or give it to Avery.
Shelly knew that Hayden had more money than he could spend, but she pulled him out of the store regardless and said, "Let's see if there's anything better. If not, we can come back and buy it, okay?"
"Sure," Hayden agreed, following her lead. "If you're getting a gift for my mom, should we get something for my dad, too?"
"I don't know what your dad would like," Shelly replied honestly. "I have no idea what he likes or what he might need. Your two sisters are very considerate, so I'm sure they've been giving him gifts regularly."
"That's true," Hayden admitted. "I only give him a gift on his birthday, and it's the same gift every year."
"What do you give him?" Shelly asked curiously.
"Birthday cake," Hayden replied.
"Oh, do you make it yourself?" Shelly inquired.
