The manager was not exaggerating.
With the crystal clear flower petals, red tassels paired with white crystals, plus the embellished handmade tassels,
merely holding the cor in hand already gave me a much more astonishing feeling than the rest of the items on the cupboard, not to mention the effect of it complementing the red gauzy cape.
My fingers slid across the brim, and the corners of my mouth unconsciously lifted, revealing my temptation.
The memory of my wedding with Hendrix was already a blur. I only remembered how nervous and excited I had been for the wedding, like the flame on a candle that continuously flickered. As for the other details such as my wedding dress or how many guests attended, I had forgotten all about them.
To me, I preferred my wedding red and gold themed. As the wedding had been done in a rush, I hadn't had the time to give the preparation my full attention.
My only regret was probably the fact that I didn't get the chance to wear the phoenix cor, showing up in front of Hendrix with a bright red and green gown. Seeing these accessories that day, feeling them under my touch, still brought butterflies to my stomach.
Indeed, a sense of ritual was essential to women of any age. They'd remember it even after the world ended.
"Credit card please."
Just as I was distracted, Freya reached out and was about to pay.
"Wait." I hurriedly reached out to stop her and withdrew the card from her hand. I smiled apologetically at the manager and said, "Sorry, could you give us a minute? We will call you if we need anything."
"Alright." The manager was decent as he smiled and stepped aside.

conversation curled my lips, carefully put the cor away while knocking some sense into Freya, saying, Didn't you hear what he said? This is one of a kind. There's
only one in the whole word here's
The
outfit you chose already cost tens of thousands, so wouldn't this cor be several hundred thousand dollars? It's too expensive. We don't have to spend that much. We won't use it often anyway."
After a pause, I raised my hand and stroked the edge of the phoenix cor. "Such a beauty, so the world must witness its charm. Rather than displaying it at home and letting it be covered in dust, I'd much rather let someone else have it. Whoever wears it will be the prettiest bride in the world."
"You've always been overcautious about everything. Shopping is not something to be guilty of." Freya's life motto was to have the most fun while one could, especially when it came to shopping. She was neither stingy nor a haggler. Therefore, she seldom got upset over materialistic items. From that point of view, it was great for women to be financially independent and stable on their own.
"I'm happy with what I have now." I turned my head and sighed with a long smile. raised my hand and pointed to my head, saying, "I've already had it here. This is way too beautiful not to let the world get a glimpse of it. I believe that other people will do it justice more than I will, so let's give it up."
"Nonsense," Freya said indignantly, "If you like it, then you should do whatever it takes to own it. Handing it to someone else while your heart clings to it - what do you think you're doing, charity?"
"Come on. That's not what I meant. I
just feel that this is meant for a wedding, and it'll be more suitable for a pair of lucky newlyweds to own it. We're here to have some fun. Picking an 18,000 dollar costume is already more than enough. don't think it's necessary to go overboard and spend so much money on this..."
Prey a sucked in a cold breath as if she was looking at an alien. She straightened her neck, furrowed her brows, and kept scanning my face without saying a word.
"What kind of expression is that?" I didn't even sound confident after getting on her nerves.
"I'm thinking about how the missus of the wealthiest man in the entire world can't even spend several hundred thousand dollars on herself. That does
not make sense to me. Please don't tell me you're trying to play the role of a kind wife by saving Hendrix's money?"
With that, she let out a smile and said, "Forget it. I won't push. If it's meant to be yours, it will find its way to you anyways."
Shouldn't it be 'if it's not yours, it won't stay no matter how hard you try'?
