Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 372

Rick laughed. Since when was holding hands with him a kind of reward for her? He bent over and kissed her between her eyebrows. "We can hold hands at any time. I said that as long as you stay with me, I will give you everything, but if I know that you are disloyal, I will not hesitate to abandon you."

"Haha." Kendall's attention was not on the second half of the sentence at all. She stretched out her hand and grabbed his. "Then I happen to want some cosmetics. Let's go shopping. But I will be thrifty. You said before... that it's not good to be wasteful."

"Alright," Rick responded.

Rick took Kendall to a nearby shopping mall. Kendall liked a lot of things, but she did not ask for them. Rick watched her silently. As Rick was wondering if she wanted to buy a bottle of moisturizer, he reached out to pick up the bottle and said to the store assistant, "I'll take the entire set for this series. Wrap it in a nice box, please."

"Um... Typically we will only use the box after you've decided to buy it. Why don't you let this young lady try and see if she wants these products?"

"No, wrap it up." Rick paused for a moment. "I'll pay for it now."

"Alright, I'll do it now," the store assistant replied respectfully.

Kendall grabbed Rick's arm. "Actually, the moisturizer is enough for me. I haven't finished up the essence at home yet, and the boxset is more expensive than just the products. The set costs extra. It's their marketing trick."

Rick was impatient. "I told you not to be wasteful, not that you have to pinch pennies. It's just some skincare products. Next time, I'll just buy them without asking you."

"I was just listening to you. Why are you telling me off?" Kendall suddenly felt very wronged. She turned her head slightly to show that she didn't want to talk to him anymore. But she didn't dare to make her tantrum so obvious. After all, she really liked Rick. She was afraid that he would abandon her if she lost her temper.

Rick leaned over to kiss the corner of her lips. He said in a low and husky voice, "It's my fault, Kendall. Don't be angry, okay?"

His voice was so gentle that Kendall's heart melted instantly. She turned her head to look at him in disbelief, her eyelashes fluttering. "Rick..."

At that moment, the store assistant brought the items back in a bag. Rick took the bag and brought Kendall over to pay for it. He even added some lipstick. After he thought about it, Rick realized that he hadn't bought anything for Kendall since getting together.

He would consider it as making up for the past. After all, Kendall was officially his girlfriend now. His friends didn't dislike her and she was nice and sensible. She deserved a reward.

Since she said that she wanted to buy cosmetics, Kendall did not look at clothes or perfumes. When she passed by those stores, she walked right on by. However, Rick picked out a dress for her and got her to try it on. Kendall initially did not want to go, but when she saw that the price was only a few hundred dollars and she wouldn't mind the price, she went into the changing room. The dress indeed looked good on her. Rick knew her measurements and the styles that suited her very well.

Rick nodded with great satisfaction. "We'll get this one."

The salesgirl immediately packed up Kendall's clothes. Rick passed Kendall's coat to her. "Put it on. The weather is still a little cold."

"Okay." Kendall obediently put the coat on, and then held out her hand for him to hold.

After they shopped, the two ate. Kendall did not chat with Rick as they did. She was very nervous. She felt that Rick was not quite the same today than usual. Maybe he was being more gentle with her today because they were on a date

Did this mean that, when they were on a date, she was his girlfriend?

As Kendall's thoughts ran wild, her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up. "Hello? Caleb... What? I don't know. What happened to Avery? Oh, let me ask Rick. Rick, Caleb said that Avery was injured. Do you know about this?"

"I don't know. It has nothing to do with me." Rick's attitude was very cold.

"Er, Caleb, did you hear that? Oh... Rick, Caleb asked if you want to go to see Avery. It seems that there is some grudge..."

"Didn't I say before? It has nothing to do with me. If you want to go, go by yourself. Don't ask me," Rick interrupted her coldly, but his long fingers clasped her hand tightly.

Kendall was very upset by him telling her off, but when she thought about it carefully, if Rick was really angry with her, why did he grab her hand harder?
