Chapter 703
This time, Thomas had appeared just in time. He was practically her savior.
After a brief pause of thought, Thomas said, “To be honest, I’m half a useless man who can’t take care of himself. If you truly wish to thank me, then perhaps, when you’re free, you could treat me to a few meals. And also…”
Sharon didn’t like owing favors, so she asked, “And what else?”
Thomas smiled. “I don’t enjoy shopping for clothes, nor am I good at choosing them. You have a good eye. Could you help me pick out a few outfits?”
Because of the scrapes on her wrist, Sharon had been told to avoid water to prevent infection. That meant her evening cooking plans were ruined anyway. With no pressing tasks that afternoon, she agreed.
“All right. Do you have time now? If you’re free, we can go straight away.”
Thomas nodded. “Perfect.”
Sharon took him to a high-end boutique she had frequented in the past. She used to come
here often to buy clothes for Theo and Carter.
Thomas had saved her life, and Sharon was no longer short of money. Naturally, she brought him to the best.
The moment they entered, a sales associate greeted them warmly. “Welcome!”
When the woman saw Sharon, her smile brightened further. “Sharon! It’s been a while since we’ve seen you. Are you here again to choose clothing for your husband and son? We just received a new shipment yesterday. Would you like to take a look?”
Sharon was a valued client here. Though she always dressed simply, she spent lavishly, and almost always chose the best pieces. From her purchases, the staff had long assumed she
was a married woman with a son.

Privately, the saleswomen often speculated that Sharon must have married into money. Judging from the sizes of the clothing she bought, her husband had to be at least 1.88 meters tall, with an enviable physique. A wealthy man who maintained such a figure—well, even if he were older, they wouldn’t have minded.
Too bad none of them had a face as stunning as hers. That dream was destined to remain a fantasy.
“I’m here to pick out clothes for a friend,” Sharon explained. She turned slightly and gestured behind her. “Please help this gentleman select a few pieces that would suit him.”
The moment the saleswoman’s gaze landed on Thomas, her eyes lit up
‘Good heavens, what a handsome man!’ she couldn’t help thinking.
with astonishment.
Sensing her stare, Thomas offered a polite, courteous smile. “Thank you, miss. I’ll trouble you, then.”
She snapped out of her daze, cheeks warming. “N-no trouble at all…”
Hurriedly, she led them deeper into the boutique, introducing different styles while sneaking glances at Thomas.
Just friends? She found that hard to believe.
Men and women rarely shared such “pure” friendships, especially not when the man looked
like this.
Could it be… Sharon was keeping him as a lover outside her marriage?
The possibility seemed all too likely. He had the look of a freshly graduated college student -young, striking, and dangerously attractive.
Guided by the saleswoman, Sharon selected more than ten sets of clothing.
“Thomas, go ahead and try these on. If none of them feel right, we’ll choose again.”
Thomas accepted without hesitation. “All right.

The saleswoman, watching Sharon spend as freely as ever, felt a flicker of doubt.
Could it be she wasn’t relying on some rich husband after all?

Perhaps she was the wealthy one-the real power behind it all. Maybe her husband and son were being supported by her instead.
That would explain why she could spend money with such effortless ease.
