Simon transferred the money over after hesitating for a couple of seconds. It was just as Keira predicted. He did not want to escalate things. He only wanted to marry Elsa, so his life's savings was a small price to pay for his happiness. Elsa smiled after seeing that the transfer had gone through. "Yay, well done, honey!" said Elsa.
Her smile melted Simon's heart because he was glad that she was just testing him and was certain that she was never after his money in the first place. Soon, the entourage finally left as Lilly spectated the whole scene. She gave Zachary a worried look and said, "You won't be a simp when you grow up, right?"
Zachary was speechless to hear that as he said, "No way." There was no way he would be a simp because he had a goal in life then. He only found women to be troublesome since they would slow his progress down.
Lilly nodded and said, "Thank goodness for that."
Josh pouted and asked, "Why didn't you ask me that?"
However, Lilly gave him an anguished look as she did not want to hurt him. She was worried that her words might be too harsh for him and that might impede his progress.
Hannah said, "Oh, what kind of spirit did you say it was earlier? I didn't get a good look at it."
She was disappointed because she wanted to see spirits too, but was unable to.
Lilly replied, "Well, it's called the golddigger ghost…"
However, before she could finish, the car suddenly stopped at a shop which stunned Josh as he asked, "What's going on?"
The entourage's sudden stop caught Simon off guard. Apparently, Elsa told the driver to bring them here. She sounded quite frantic when she told the driver that. Apparently, the shop was a Lyan Hypersort's dealership. Simon had a bad feeling about this detour. He knew that the entourage should not drive by this route, but Elsa told him to take this route because any couple who drove through this route would have a long lasting marriage. Things were obviously different then. Lo and behold, Elsa rushed into the showroom and stopped in front of a red sport's car.
"I want this car!" Elsa cheered. But, Simon was not amused by this. It seemed that Elsa was oblivious to Simon's distaste for this as she called a salesperson and said, "Today is my wedding day and I want this sportscar as our wedding gift! Could you get the paperwork done now? I'm getting it right now!"
The manager was delighted by this surprise as he kept wishing the couple a very happy marriage before telling his staff members to prepare the paperwork. However, Simon grabbed Elsa and whispered, "We never agreed to buy this car, honey. Let's go, we'll be late if we don't hurry."
However, he kept it to himself because he was worried about angering her further. Besides, it was getting late soon. "No honey, look, I don't have that much money left. I promise that I'll buy you the car next time, alright? Can we please get married first?"
However, Elsa refused to back down as she said, "Next time? Men are liars! If you don't buy me this car today, you can forget about marrying me!" She stormed off to the VIP lounge. The children inched further away from her as they did not want to interact too much with her. Hannah was the only person that was uninterested in the whole drama as she was busy eating her fries. So, Lilly pulled her closer as Simon pleaded with Elsa, "Look, I'm begging you, Elsa. I promise that I will buy you this car next time, okay?"
However, Elsa remained silent. She was not afraid of Simon backing out of their wedding because his family had invested a lot of money into the whole ordeal. They would not give up that easily. Besides, she was aware about how much power she had over a simp like him. She wanted him to buy her that car.
Simon clenched his teeth and said, "Alright, we'll head to the showroom next door and I'll buy you a Porsche first, alright…"
The children were disappointed in him when he said that. The Harem spirit said, "Gosh, I thought he would finally stand up for himself, I can't believe…"
The Weakling spirit scoffed as the Harem spirit said, "I can't believe that he still gave in…"
