Chapter 1027 I Bought the Mall, Do You Want It?
Penelope thought, it should still be early... Kelvin always wakes up early.
But she had only fallen asleep at dawn, and after he had worn her out so much, she still managed to sleep soundly for a few hours and felt pretty good?
Penelope groggily glanced at the clock. It was already 1 PM!
She was suddenly alarmed! How could it be this late already?
She instinctively wanted to wake Kelvin up, but seeing him sleep so deeply, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
He had worked so late last night, and without any restraint... she wanted him to rest a bit more.
Penelope nestled comfortably in his arms, staying still to avoid waking him.
"Awake?" Kelvin murmured, "What time is it?"
"One o'clock."
He didn't respond, just turned over and pulled her closer.
"When did you wake up?" Penelope asked, "I didn't even disturb you."
"I woke up when you did."
"Really?"
Kelvin smirked, his eyes still closed.
"It's time to get up, it's already afternoon." Penelope poked his chest, "We need to go to the office."
Kelvin lazily replied, "Not going."
"What?"
"Not going," he repeated, "Taking a day off."
"But last night you..."
"Finished most of it last night, today is for resting," Kelvin said, "Stay with me."
Penelope looked at him helplessly, "How can you be like this? One moment you're working late, the next you're skipping work."
"Yeah, does Mrs. Davis allow me to skip work?"
"If I don't allow it, would you get up and go to the office now?"
Kelvin buried his head in her neck, nuzzling, "No, I want to stay with my wife."
"We're always together."
Kelvin paused.
Yes, he and Penelope were always together, inseparable.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Seeing his silence, Penelope looked up at him, "Are you really not going to the office today?"
"No, staying with you."
Penelope was about to say something when he suddenly sat up and looked out the window.
"Since it's already this late, let's just relax today." Kelvin reached out and pulled her up from the bed, "Come on, let's go shopping."
Penelope couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't say I wanted to go shopping today."
"Then you could accompany me shopping. My wardrobe needs some new additions."
And just like that, Penelope was dragged to the mall by Kelvin.
On a weekday afternoon, the mall was relatively empty.
Kelvin, with his striking looks, tall and muscular build, silver hair, and chiseled features, resembled a movie star. So, when Penelope walked with him, they attracted a lot of attention.
Kelvin held her hand the entire time, never letting go.
"This store has a nice style, suits you," Kelvin pointed at a store. "Let's go in and take a look."
He picked out a bunch of clothes, "This one, this one, this one too. Do you have this in size S? My wife wears size S."
He held the clothes up against Penelope, "Nice, we'll take this one too."
The sales associate couldn't stop smiling.
This was a big spender! Their sales were secured!
"All of them?" the sales associate asked, "Don't you want to try them on?"
"No need."
Kelvin was very serious about his selections.
Penelope tugged at his sleeve, "Who buys clothes like this? You gotta try them on first."
"You'll look great in them."
"But you still need to try them on!"
"Alright," Kelvin nodded, "We'll try them on at the next store."
Penelope was speechless.
For Kelvin, buying clothes didn't require trying them on.
His suits were all custom-made by professional tailors, perfectly fitted to his measurements.
Even when he shopped for clothes, he would sit in a VIP lounge, with staff bringing the latest collections from various brands for him to choose from.
There were even models who would wear the clothes to showcase them.
As long as he was satisfied, a nod from him would signal the staff to pack the clothes.
That was Kelvin's "shopping style."
Today, he wanted to spend time with Penelope, to pass the time, to experience the... simple pleasures of ordinary shopping.
This was just the first store, and they already had at least twenty shopping bags.
Kelvin was still unsatisfied and dragged her to the next store.
Before entering, Penelope emphasized, "No more buying things without trying them on. Only buy if they fit."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Kelvin agreed, but... Penelope felt like she was digging her own grave.
Because trying on dozens of clothes, one by one, was exhausting!
"Um..." she asked Kelvin, "Can we stop buying? I think we have enough."
"We've just started shopping, how can it be enough?"
"Do you want to buy the entire mall before you're satisfied?"
Kelvin looked at her seriously, "Penelope, do you want me to buy the mall for you?"
Penelope shook her head.
He chuckled and ruffled her hair.
But Penelope felt that if this continued, he really might buy out the entire mall.
"I don't need more clothes, my closet is full, with tags still on them." Penelope said, "Stop buying, it's a waste of money."
"Spending money on you is never a waste."
Penelope looked at him, "Enough is enough. Let's go to the men's store, I'll pick something for you. Then we'll go to the kids' store and toy store for Sam and Lucy."
"Okay."
Penelope laughed, "You agree to everything I say, can't you say something else?"
"Sure."
Penelope laughed and threw herself into his arms, playfully hitting his chest.
She felt that something was off with Kelvin today, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was.
Not just today, last night he worked late into the night, which was unusual.
Penelope shook off the unnecessary thoughts; maybe she was overthinking.
Every store in the mall welcomed Kelvin and Penelope with utmost enthusiasm.
They were super VIPs!
Their visit could match a month's sales!
In the end, Penelope was too tired to walk anymore and dragged Kelvin to a café to rest.
Kelvin was still dissatisfied, "Isn't it supposed to be women who get tired from shopping? Why am I not tired, but you are?"
"Do you think everyone is like you, possessing boundless energy, working late at night, then... wearing me out, and still energetic enough to shop during the day?"
Penelope pouted.
"Because I'm with you, I don't feel tired," Kelvin replied, "Being with you gives me energy."
