She rembered he said he would handle Jett’s matter in a legal way.
Actually, it had nothing to do with him originally, but he still quietly helped her a lot.
After hanging up the phone, she stood on the street, pulled out Landon’s number, hesitated for a while, and then pressed the call button.
The ringtone paused Landon’s fingers on the keyboard. He turned his head to look at the phone on the table. The na he never dared to think of appeared on the incoming call display, and he was stunned for a mont. Then he involuntarily raised the corners of his mouth and answered the call: "Hello."
After he spoke, there was no sound on the other end for a while, but he didn’t hang up, patiently waiting for her reply.
"...Landon?"
"You called and you don’t even know who it is?"
"I was just confirming... um, are you alright?"
Landon shifted his position, lazily leaning on the sofa. When he answered her call, the frown from work unknowingly relaxed, "What do you an by alright?"
"Last night, weren’t you taken away by the police?"
Hearing her words, Landon couldn’t help but chuckle and teased her: "Were you worried about ?"
"I was just asking... after all, it was because of my issues."
"So how are you going to thank ?"
Shannon didn’t expect him to invite credit, and after a pause, she answered, "Treat you to a al?"
Landon’s smile gradually faded, and he sighed lightly, "Forget it, not creative."
Shannon mumbled, "Fine then, save so money."
The mont she finished speaking, Landon’s voice ca through again, "Get a gift."
"A gift?"
"Yeah, pick whatever you like, just don’t choose sothing cheap."
Shannon frowned and asked him, "Then what do you need?"
"If I knew what I needed, wouldn’t I buy it myself? Do you understand what giving a gift ans?"
Shannon barely understood, saying "Oh" while thinking that she seed to never have given a man a gift before, not even Vincent.
"You have a day, buy it by tomorrow afternoon and give it to Ronan, he’ll pass it to ."
She didn’t understand why he was in such a hurry, nor why he wouldn’t appear in person, but Shannon didn’t question these things further, just agreed.
After hanging up, she looked at the surrounding shops. She wasn’t familiar with n’s stuff aside from clothing, and suddenly regretted why she made this call, adding trouble to herself.
After hesitating for a while, she called Erin, and after her eting ended, asked her to help choose.
Hearing Shannon was picking a gift for Landon made Erin’s jaw almost drop to the ground. She widened her eyes and incredulously asked Shannon, "Shannon, you’re not... really cheating, are you?"
"What nonsense are you saying? He helped last night, just giving him sothing to repay the favor."
"If it’s just random, why are you calling to help choose?"
"It’s just that I have no experience, pick a suitable gift for him, at least let him feel satisfied, otherwise, he might always feel that I owe him."
"Alright, alright, tonight you must thoroughly tell last night’s hero saving the beauty script."
Shannon rolled her eyes at her but found Landon’s image flashing in her mind.
Last night, although he didn’t even make a move, an ordinary person standing there might not even have any presence. But such a man as Landon, even in the chaotic crowd and fighting, could beco the standout, Shannon didn’t know what kind of magic this was.
"Landon is really hard to choose a gift for, high taste, ordinary things he might look down on, and things he likes you probably can’t afford, and even if you can, it would cost you an arm and a leg, really hard to choose."
Shannon complained, "He said as long as it’s not sothing cheap."
"See, he definitely likes you. His aning is, as long as it’s from you, no matter how cheap, he would like it."
"Stop talking nonsense! Even if he likes , I wouldn’t like him. I am a woman with principles."
"Your so-called principles are just a piece of paper, right? Which way your heart leans, you know it yourself."
Erin’s seemingly casual words made Shannon pause, but she didn’t dare think much about it.
Erin pulled her to a watch counter, contemplating, "Since he’s well-off and doesn’t lack anything, no need to buy luxurious items, aningful is the best."
"What do you an by aningful?"
"Does he usually wear a watch?"
Shannon thought for a mont, nodded, and said, "He wears one."
"Then don’t buy a watch, if you buy ten, they probably can’t match one of his."
"Are you two picking a gift for your boyfriend? Do you want to see our newly launched pocket watches? Custom styles are available, even couples’ styles."
The shop assistant’s words imdiately attracted both Shannon’s and Erin’s attention, and Erin promptly said, "Yes, take it out and let see."
The shop assistant took out pocket watches from the glass display and presented them to them, saying: "Pocket watches are the closest to the heart position, more aningful than giving a watch, and each is specially designed by our designer, can be engraved, unique is the most precious."
Erin imdiately egged Shannon on, "Buy this one, it’s good, and the price is acceptable."
Shannon looked at it, thought for a mont, and said, "Help customize a set, I want initials engraved."
"Alright Miss, please co over here to make a note."
As Shannon prepared to follow the shop assistant, Erin grabbed her arm, saying, "You and Landon? A couple pocket watch?!"
"What are you thinking? I’m buying this for him... We’ve been married for so long, and I haven’t really given him anything, I think this is quite fitting."
Hearing this, Erin let out a sigh of relief, but said, "Don’t you have a lot of grievances against him? And yet thinking about gifting him."
Shannon mumbled, "I just feel like, if I get sothing for Landon and not for him, it seems a bit uneasy inside."
"Alright, alright, you go ahead, I’ll take a look at other things for you."
Finally, Shannon ran out of patience and just picked a set of cufflinks and tie clip for Landon.
As Erin saw her checking out, she teased Shannon, "He said as long as it’s not sothing cheap, and you actually listened, this is too casual right?"
"How is it casual? Just these two little things are a few thousand! Normally, I wouldn’t splurge on myself, this is decent for him."
Thinking one is her husband, the other a stranger, such differentiated treatnt seed reasonable.
Even Erin didn’t know what to buy for a man like Landon who seed to lack nothing, so Shannon checked out, and they left.
