Timothy cradled the tiny socks in his palm, a lump forming in his throat as an indescribable emotion
surged within him.
After all, he had never interacted with a newborn before, let alone had any familiarity with their clothing
and essories.
Despite his usual aloofness, Timothy found the material of the tiny socks surprisingly soft and gentle.
Hastily, he returned the socks to the shelf, his demeanor awkward, as if handling the small socks was
akin to facing a daunting creature.
Watching Timothy’s actions, a shadow of concern crossed Mia’s eyes: perhaps he genuinely harbored
a
dislike for children!
Nevertheless, Mia remained resolute in her decision to raise the twins independently, sparing Timothy
any inconvenience.
Turning to Tara, she asked, “Would you mind assisting me in selecting a few outfits?”
Since they’ve already entered the store, refraining from making a purchase would appear
inappropriate.
After Mia finished speaking, Timothy beside her suddenly interjected, saying, “Will a few outfits be
enough? I’ll take 20 sets!”
Tara was instantly delighted. “Wonderful, I’ll gather them for you right away.”
Given the substantial purchase, the store was sure to achieve impressive sales for the month.
Mia was surprised by Timothy’s extravagant gesture and looked at him with astonishment. “Is it really
necessary to purchase so many?”
She believed that acquiring just a few outfits would suffice, especially with Martha observing them.
After all, Mia needed to return with something to show Laura!
Timothy remained unfazed. “Do you think I can’t afford 20 outfits?”
“But this wasn’t about the clothes,” Mia thought to herself.
Without dy, Tara approached eagerly. “Is there anything else you require, sir, madam? I’m here to
assist with your selection.”
Timothy casually gestured toward the array of baby clothes on disy. “We’ll take everything: clothes,
shoes, coats, hats, scarves, and all of these socks.”
“All of them?” Tara eximed, taken aback.
Mia quickly pulled at Timothy’s sleeve, but he nced back at her andmented, “We’ll just make
use
of these items and dispose of them when they’re worn out.”
Mia had never heard anyone speak of clothing as disposable before!
With Mia’s hand in his, Timothy guided her out of the store and inquired, “Aren’t we supposed to get a
stroller and a crib?”
Mia nced back momentarily, intending to convey to Tara that they didn’t n to purchase too many
items.
However, Mia couldn’t ignore Martha’s presence, discreetly lurking behind a nearby pir.
Suddenly, it dawned on her that Timothy was merely putting on a show for Martha.
After pondering for a moment, Mia decided it was best to remain silent.
She trailed behind Timothy as they returned to the store, where Tara enthusiastically presented several

crib choices. Without hesitation, Timothy intervened, “Please wrap them all up.”
Tara was surprised. “Wrap a dozen baby cribs? Sir, may I ask how many children you have?”
Timothy remained unfazed. “We’ll have a variety of choices if the twins aren’tfortable in the cribs.”
Mia was caught off guard, unsure how to respond. She hadn’t expected Timothy’svish approach to
shopping.
Feeling the urge to step in, Mia grabbed Timothy’s arm and pointed to one of the cribs. “Let’s just buy
two of these; they appear to be more suitable.”
Timothy frowned. “Are you sure? The kids haven’t even slept in them yet. What if they don’t like them?”
“Since when do babies have such refined preferences? Not everyone is as particr as you, rejecting
even the slightest difort!” Mia shot back.
“And besides, both of these cribs fit perfectly in the master bedroom.”
Timothy maintained hisposure, a faint smirk appearing on his lips. “Let’s go with her
rmendation.”
