After lunch, the two left the restaurant and went to the mall.
Sophia brought Gwendolyn into a clothing store. The moment they entered the store, a staff
approached them right away and greeted them, “Ms. Sanders.”
The restaurant they had lunch at was located in Solstice Mall. Since Sophia was Solstice Mall's
founder, she would occasionally visit the mall. Therefore, the staff knew who she was.
Sophia merely nodded in response. In the future, Gwen is going to be the owner of Solstice Group. It
doesn't matter what company is that man CEO of because my daughter will definitely be worthy of him.
If she gets married, I'll give her a huge wedding gift so that she'll have a wonderful wedding.
After giving the staff a nod, Sophia brought Gwendolyn into the store.
“Gwen, this is a good clothing brand. They have clothes for kids as well. Pick some, and I'll pay for
them. Consider them as my gifts for the kids,” Sophia said. I want to give a lot more than that, but I
think I'm going to freak Gwen out if I do so. I'll let Tiffany deal with the matter concerning Solstice
Group. After all, Tiffany is Gwen's mentor. Gwen will most probably listen to Tiffany's advice.

because she felt bad. Prior to this, I would have never dared to set foot in this kind of store. This brand
is known internationally, and its products are too pricey. A piece of children's clothing costs about five
figures. I have three kids. I simply couldn't afford it. Although I can afford to spend that much now, I still
wouldn't spend willingly.
Sophia caressed Gwendolyn's cheeks. Oh! I've been wanting to do this! Her cheeks are so soft and
fair. Apart from the absence of baby fat, her cheeks are still similar to when she was little.
“Gwen, don't worry about it. Since I'm around the same age as your mother, I'm treating your children
as my grandchildren. Don't reject my offer, okay?”
Gwendolyn noticed Sophia's sincerity, so she couldn't bear to reject Sophia.
“All right, then,” Gwendolyn answered.
She started picking out clothes for her kids. Whenever she saw something she liked, she would check
the price of the item first. If it was slightly pricey, she would refuse to buy the item.
Sophia was right behind Gwendolyn, and Sophia saw what Gwendolyn was doing. This child is too
kind.
Sophia ordered the staff softly, “Wrap up all the items that caught her attention. Pick the items
according to the sizes she mentioned just now.”
The staff went on to do as they were told. After browsing the entire store, Gwendolyn uttered
apologetically, “Ms. Sanders, I couldn't find anything for them. Let's shop elsewhere.”
Only then did Gwendolyn realize how little she knew back then. Before this, I thought the children's
clothes of this brand cost up to five figures. However, the ones here are all six figures. Even the ones
priced at a five-figure amount are also close to six figures. In that case, the price would reach a million
if I were to buy for all three of my kids. Forget about it. I can't afford the clothes here, and I shouldn't
take advantage of Ms. Sanders. I'll go to the store I usually buy from. After all, the kids are comfortable
with those products.
Sophia flashed a faint smile and said, “You couldn't find anything for them, but I have!”
Although it would seem odd for the CEO of the company to pay for the goods in the store, the truth was
that Sophia was no longer the CEO of the company after she transferred the company to Gwendolyn.

In other words, Sophia was merely another regular consumer.
Suddenly, Gwendolyn noticed that there were only a few pieces of clothing left in the store. When she
glanced at the checkout counter, she was stunned by the amount of shopping bags. “That's too much,
Ms. Sanders! The kids grow fast, and they won't get to wear all these clothes.”
Sophia would buy two pieces of clothing for each season. The kids would only get to wear those
clothes once because they would've outgrown the clothes by the following year.
“It's all right. The kids can wear a new piece every day. After all, children can easily get their clothes
dirty.” Sophia smiled.
Gwendolyn knew there was no point in trying to convince Sophia otherwise. She could only sigh guiltily.
Looks like I'm too poor. Juliette is going to be elated when she sees all these beautiful clothes. Those
two boys are going to look very handsome in their new clothes as well.
Sophia proceeded to ask Gwendolyn for her address so that Gwendolyn wouldn't need to bring those
clothes with her on the plane. Instead, the store would just fly those products over.
