Chapter 53: HE JUST LEFT

"Why don't you go with her to my wedding? There will not be many children there and I am sure she will not make friends with any of them." Gael offered the invitation to Nikolai casually.

But the truth was; he wanted someone to keep the little girl occupied during the wedding, since she would complain endlessly whenever she got bored.

"I don't think I can," Nikolai said in a low voice, and stared at his shabby shoes, which were not fit at all to be in this fancy boutique. He was ashamed.

"Why?"

"I don't have proper clothes."

"Don't worry," Gael said lightly and snapped his fingers to call a female employee there to tend to little Nikolai. "Go and get what suit you want."

"No, no, I am not…" the boy tried to refuse.

However, he ended up holding two black suits when he walked out of the boutique. Nikolai was not able to believe that he owned clothes that were more expensive than his whole family's three months' expenses.
