Chapter 368: Available for you
"Lucius, look at these handmade trinkets," Layla said excitedly as they paused in front of a vendor’s stall. Her fingers brushed over the delicate pieces before picking up a keychain, and holding it up for him to see.
"Isn’t it beautiful?" she asked, her eyes gleaming under the soft glow of the Christmas market lights. Without waiting for his response, she reached for a pair of earrings crafted from tiny trinkets, admiring its intricate details.
"These pink ones will look beautiful on you," Lucius said.
The lady at the stall gave them the hand mirror as Lucius held it for Layla. She checked on her ears and nodded her head. "You are right," she said.
"We will take this pair and this keychain," Layla told the lady. As she packed them, Lucius took out his wallet and paid for them, taking the tiny envelope from the lady.
"Thank you," he said and they went ahead.
"I want to wear the pink pair of earrings," Layla insisted.
"Don’t remove your gloves," Lucius said. "It’s cold."
"Then, how am I supposed to wear them?" Layla asked.
"I will help you," Lucius opined. He removed his own gloves and put them inside his long coat’s pocket. He took out the pair of earrings from the tiny envelope. Layla’s eyes were glued to him with pure admiration. She was the luckiest woman in this world for having such a caring husband.
Lucius placed the earrings that Layla had originally worn on her palms and carefully put on the newly bought earrings on her ears one by one.
