Chapter 880
Chapter 880:
With that piece of information, Seth straightened up. “Miss Harper.” Finally, Seth took a proper look at Brenna. Earlier, he had been too caught up in making a scene to notice her. Now, he saw that she had an elegant, refined demeanor and stunning beauty. She was prettier and younger than his mother.
Brenna chose not to respond. But given Alec’s genuine apology and admission of fault earlier, she decided not to make things difficult for him.
“Brenna, what do you think of this one?” Patrick called out loudly from across the store.
“Excuse me.” Brenna moved to join Patrick and Lilith.
Behind her, Alec let out a quiet chuckle. “We’ll do some shopping too, then. We won’t disturb you any further p>
When Brenna reached Patrick and Lilith, she saw that Ellie and Patrick had already chosen two jackets, a blue one and a black one, and were holding a trendy white piece.
“These are great choices,” Brenna said.
Her eyes wandered over to the display wall, where rows of stylish jackets and sweaters caught her attention. “Pick out a couple more tops for layering, and be sure to grab two pairs of shoes. Kids outgrow everything so fast, and comfort is what matters most p>
Alec’s brow furrowed just for a moment, but he kept his thoughts to himself. He motioned to the sales assistant. “Bring out a Spider-Man winter coat in Seth’s size p>
Winter clothing was expensive, and Seth had already outgrown last year’s wardrobe. Alec nudged Lila. “Grab a few more things for him; my daughter will settle the bill p>
“Got it,” Lila replied, understanding his intentions. She scanned the options and pointed out a black down jacket, fleece-lined jeans, a white hoodie, and a gray sweater, all in Seth’s size, and asked the assistant to bring each item.
“Wrap everything up. My daughter will settle the bill,” Alec said to the sales assistant, not the slightest hint of embarrassment in his voice.

How things had played out earlier, the sales assistant believed Alec. She quickly totaled up the purchases. “That comes to 39,800 dollars p>
A sly grin spread across Alec’s face. “Didn’t you say spending ten grand earns a free action figure? I just spent almost forty; does that mean I get four p>
His request drew a polite laugh. The assistant decided not to fuss about a couple of dollars short. “Absolutely. Which ones do you want?” Eyes sparkling, Seth didn’t hesitate. He pointed eagerly and got four figurines.
Alec, Seth, and Lila then left the shop happily.
Ellie and her son, finishing up their shopping a bit later, moved to pay at the counter. That was when Patrick discovered his favorite figurine was gone.
A storm of tears welled in his eyes. “That figurine I like, it’s gone!” He had spent ages picking out clothes, holding out hope that the figurine would be waiting for him at the end.
