Ivy and Caspian arrived at the city's largest shopping mall.
Caspian followed Ivy and said, "Princess, my main function today is to carry your bags. I can't afford the things here, so iveif I don't offer to split the bill when it's tto pay." Ivy laughed heartily. "You and Lucas don't usuallye here to shop, do you?" Caspian shook his head. "We mostly buy things from the supermarket. Those slightly larger department stores sell clothes, too. The clothes inside aren't expensive, but, of course, they're not branded." "I don't care much about brands either, but I want something better since it's a gift for Lucas' mother," Ivy explained.
"You're really kind. It's a pity his mother can't enjoy it for long. Even if Lucas doesn't rely on you, he'll surely provide for his mother in the future. What a shame!" Caspian sighed.
"Yes. That's why we should cherish the people around us," Ivy said.

"All right. Go ahead then!" Caspian replied.

Caspian grinned smugly. "She's Lucas' girlfriend." Mrs. Woods was stunned. "She's Lucas' girlfriend? I didn't even know he had a girlfriend! Does his dad know?" "I don't know about that," Caspian said.
"Do you have any idea how expensive the purses are here? If thepany isn't making a profit, bow could youe here? How Ο arrogant!" Mrs. Woods glared at Ivy.
hovels Ivy remained calm. "I'm not spending Lucas' money, Madam." "Whose money are you spending, then? Are you rich?" Mrs. Woods challenged.
"I guess!" Ivy said and handed the purse to the salesperson. "Wrap this up for me, please." With that, she headed to the counter. Mrs. Woods glared at her enviously.
Just as Caspian was about to follow Ivy, Mrs. Woods grabbed him and asked, "Caspian, who's that woman? Is her family rich?" mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1
