Chapter 539 What is the Purpose of Making Money
Gerald came back after finishing his work, and Josephine had already left.
Kathy was sitting on the sofa, reading a professional book.
Her professional book was very thick, like a brick.
Earlier, when Gerald accompanied her to get her things, he found that she didn't have many clothes, and all she took were books and materials.
Gerald organized the bookshelf in the study and gave her more than half of it.
In fact, when getting along with Kathy, he couldn't tell at all that she was a physics major.
In the eyes of many people, a girl who studied physics and had a PhD was probably boring, rigid, and only knew how to study.
But in fact, Kathy was no different from ordinary girls.
However, Gerald knew that even someone like Josephine, who didn't pay much attention to her appearance, had a large walk-in closet at home.
It was prepared for her by Nicole after Josephine reunited with her family.
Even though Josephine didn't stay at home much and didn't change clothes often, the high-end luxury items inside were regularly updated.
But Kathy's clothes were pitifully few, just a few pieces that she wore in rotation.
Gerald hadn't noticed this problem before.
He himself wasn't someone who cared about what girls wore.
It was only on the day they moved that he realized Kathy had so few clothes, which made him feel something was wrong.
Kathy's injury needed rest, and although some things were inconvenient for her to do, it didn't affect her normal life.
Gerald waited for her to finish eating before saying, "Let's go shopping."
Kathy was stunned.
After living with Gerald, she faced his life directly and knew how busy he was.
On the day he stayed home with her to recuperate, his phone rarely stopped ringing.
When he went out, he left early and returned late. Sometimes, having dinner with her was a luxury.
Today, he actually had time to go shopping?
And Gerald wasn't like a company boss who could choose not to go to work because it was his own business.
He worked for the government, and many things were beyond his control.
Gerald held her hand and, seeing her expression, couldn't help but laugh, "Since we've been together, we haven't gone shopping together. I want to buy you something. Would you do me the honor?"
She asked, "Aren't you tired? I don't have anything I need to buy."
Gerald said, "This kind of work is normal for me. I'm not tired. You may not want anything, but I do."
Kathy was curious, "What do you want?"
Gerald had plenty of clothes. He attended many events, and most of the time, he dressed formally.
Due to his special status, none of the clothes in his wardrobe had labels; they were all custom-made by a famous private tailor from the Clarence Family.
So the clothes on him looked even more luxurious.
It was said that people rely on clothes to look good.
But for Gerald, it was the clothes that complemented him.
No matter what kind of clothes, when worn by him, they seemed to have an extra touch of elegance.
Kathy had also found a new hobby these days, happily preparing Gerald's outfits for him every day.
Watching him gradually put on the clothes she prepared gave her a sense of accomplishment.
But Gerald had no particular desire for these things.
He didn't seem to have any special preferences.
Even when it came to food, he didn't have much of an appetite.
If there was one thing Gerald had been infatuated with since they met, it was probably kissing her.
Gerald loved doing that. Whenever he had the chance, he liked to hold her in his arms and kiss her gently and passionately.
Sometimes he was very gentle, and sometimes he was very intense.
But in the end, it was always he who felt uncomfortable.
Kathy hadn't realized that he had always been very restrained.
He restrained himself from taking the final step with her.
Kathy went out with him, and today Gerald was driving Kathy's very ordinary car.
Kathy didn't expect Gerald to take her directly to a luxury mall.
Kathy had never been interested in these things before.
At that time, she was indeed focused on her studies.
Her family was well-off, but no one in her class knew.
Because she dressed plainly, didn't wear jewelry, and didn't carry expensive purses.
There were very few girls in her class, only four or five, and they were all similar in temperament to her. Now they all worked in research institutions.
There was no competitive atmosphere in the class.
However, in the university where she studied, there were other majors, and at that time, a girl even came to pick a fight with her.
The reason was that the boy the girl liked had a crush on Kathy.
Although Kathy was always bare-faced and focused on her studies, she couldn't help but look good and have a good personality.
That girl's family was probably well-off, wearing branded clothes and carrying purses worth tens of thousands of dollars, showing off in front of Kathy.
But she was destined to be disappointed because Kathy didn't react at all.
At that time, the girl even called her poor.
But in fact, Kathy's family already had assets worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.
Later, the matter was left unresolved.
For so many years, Kathy had always been uninterested in those things.
Most of the clothes in her wardrobe were comfortable.
She did have some jewelry, all bought by her family in the past, but she wasn't used to wearing them.
So even now, her colleagues at work didn't know what her family situation was.
Many people were still worried about not being able to afford even a bathroom in the bustling area of Celestia Springs after working for so many years, but Kathy already had several houses.
At that time, her family even gave her a courtyard-style house.
When her father had an accident, she almost sold it.
Later, thanks to Josephine and Gerald, the matter was perfectly resolved.
So Kathy was wealthy.
But she really hadn't been to these places.
It was also Gerald's first time bringing a woman here, not counting the times he accompanied Nicole.
Besides, he was busy with work at that time, and the times he accompanied Nicole were very few.
If Nicole came, the salespeople would recognize her.
But Gerald, no one really knew him.
Looking at Kathy, who was dressed plainly, not even wearing a single recognizable brand, many experienced salespeople inevitably ignored them.
Only a few less snobbish salespeople would guide them and introduce things to them.
Kathy naturally felt out of place in this atmosphere.
She pulled Gerald and whispered, "Why are we here? I don't need these things."
The cheapest piece of clothing here cost tens of thousands of dollars, and there were items worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.
Was she supposed to wear these to the lab?
That would be too exaggerated, right?
And it wouldn't be convenient.
Seeing Kathy and Gerald whispering, the salespeople naturally assumed they couldn't afford it.
Gerald said, "There will always be occasions where you need to wear these."
Kathy said, "I already have clothes for formal occasions."
Gerald said, "I still want to buy you some. You don't know how many clothes Josephine has, and you have so few."
Kathy laughed, "Why should I compare myself to Josephine? As long as I have enough clothes to wear, there's really no need to spend this money."
Gerald sighed, "Then what am I earning money for?"
"Are you earning money just to buy me clothes?"
"Yes, seeing the money I earn turn into clothes on you gives me a sense of pride."
Kathy felt sweet inside and said, "Alright, but we can't buy too much."
