Married To A Savage Duke - Chapter 79.2
“Tracking?” Considering the absurd choice of words, it seemed like a joke, but his expression was so serious that she couldn’t tell which it was. Perplexed, Cherryl reluctantly agreed. “Okay, I understand. Until then, please don’t follow me under any circumstances.”
“Take care. If anything happens, scream.”
“Yes. Yes.”
“Please hurry as much as possible.”
“Oh. I understand.” Cherryl turned around and walked towards the shop. In Cade’s eyes, she could see a nervous light, as if he were watching a child going on an errand for the first time.
“It feels like it was around this time.” Cherryl searched through the crowd, making her way to the men’s formal wear specialty store she had noticed earlier. Finally finding the shop, she walked briskly towards her destination. As she opened the glass door, a soft rustle and the scent of luxurious musk filled the air. Cherryl looked around with curious eyes. It was her first time stepping into a men’s formal wear store. Various colors and designs were displayed on one side of the wall, and the central glass display case was filled with sparkling accessories. Thinking it would be better to choose a smaller gift rather than clothing, Cherryl approached the display case. However, among the men’s accessories of unknown purpose, she didn’t know what to choose.
“The item you’re currently looking at is a tie pin, ma’am.” A staff member approached her as she leaned over and observed the inside of the display case. “Oh, I see. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, ma’am.” The perceptive staff member quickly glanced at Cherryl’s demeanor. Although she was dressed in a robe, concealing her attire, she had platinum hair that flowed like silk and a youthful glow in her well-maintained skin. This immediately made the staff member realize that she came from a wealthy family, and he greeted her with a courteous smile.
“Did you come to the store today to buy a gift?”
“Yes.”
“Is the person receiving the gift around your age?” “Yes. Even a bit older…”
“I see. Are you looking at gifts for your husband, then?”
“Yes…”
“Perfect timing! Our Havi Birdson men’s formal wear brand has been producing luxurious and elegant products for high-ranking noble gentlemen for a long time. The founder, a skilled craftsman who created cuff links for the legendary hero Blkanov, gave birth to our brand, Havi Birdson! Today, our Carlsvik main store, where a wife could visit, has a wider range of products than the branch in the capital city of Hindel. We also have various exclusive products that are only sold at Carlsvik, attracting many customers from abroad through the recently opened trading port. If you come this way, I will introduce you to the fabric made with our patented weaving technique step by step.” Surprised by the unexpected barrage of words, Cherryl’s eyes widened. She hadn’t decided what to buy, and she couldn’t even distinguish a tie pin, so if she continued like this, she would undoubtedly fall into the staff member’s persuasive speech. “I don’t have much time.”
“If you haven’t decided on a gift yet, may I recommend something?”
If she kept going like this, even with 20 hours, it would still be insufficient. Cherryl maintained a composed expression and played along. “It’s okay. Ah, I’d like to see the cuff links. Where are they?”
“They are displayed over here, ma’am.” The staff member smiled warmly and led Cherryl to the opposite display case. Although she was completely absent-minded, Cherryl thought that the staff member’s explanation wasn’t bad at all. To think that the founder of the brand store she happened to visit had a connection to Cade’s ancestor. The fact that the cuff links were crafted by the same artisan who made the legendary Blackanov cuff links was an intriguing piece of information. If she were to gift Cade with Havi Birdson cuff links, it would hold even more significant meaning. While examining the accessories beyond the glass, Cherryl pointed to one with her finger.
“I like this one.”
It was a round cuff link with a subtle silver hue. The simple design consisted of a recessed decoration surrounded by a border, but depending on the lighting, it could also appear golden, which she thought would suit him well.
“You have excellent taste, ma’am! The item you’ve chosen is an exclusive product sold only at Carlsvik’s main store. These cuff links were inspired by the moon and made with our patented weaving technique. While Havi Birdson is famous for our weaving technology, metal craftsmanship is the very essence of our brand, so you won’t regret choosing any accessory, not just clothing.”
“Oh, I see. How much does it cost?” The staff member took out a small notepad and pen, quickly jotting down the price on it. “It’s our flagship product that incorporates special craftsmanship, although it doesn’t have a flashy design. It would be 875 gold. It’s a reasonable price compared to the items with gemstones in the center. However, if you’re considering gemstones, personally, I would recommend diamonds over rubies or sapphires. As you know, the price of diamonds is determined by their size. Our smallest product starts at 2,490 gold. Would you like to take a look?”
“No, thank you.” It was a bit expensive. Cherryl touched her chin, momentarily lost in thought. The cuff links had a higher price range than she had expected for such a simple design. Still, he was a man deserving of owning something nice, so one item would be fine. A simple cuff link without embedded gemstones might be better, and considering it, the price range wasn’t too bad. Perhaps her mind was preoccupied with comparing various conditions. Cherryl didn’t notice that beyond the glass window, a man of unknown identity wearing a gray robe was staring intently at her.
