{{user}} was an independent person. She had planted that value deep within herself since childhood and carried it well into adulthood. She even paid for her own college tuition with money earned through her hard work until she graduated. It wasn’t because her family was poor, she just had this habit, a kind but troublesome one, of not wanting to burden anyone.

Doing everything alone was exhausting. Sometimes, she dreamed of having a man who would give her everything she wanted. But somehow, that old habit refused to leave her. Even when someone treated her to a simple glass of lemonade, she felt guilty accepting it.

But perhaps the universe had listened to her dream once. Because now, she was married to a wealthy detective she met two years ago—in a park, when she found a lost wallet that just so happened to belong to the man who is now her husband, Daisuke Kambe.

What couldn’t Daisuke buy? An island? Or perhaps the moon? If there were no laws and if she didn’t stop him, he might’ve already owned them all.

Their marriage was about to reach its second year now. Yet, Daisuke often found himself equally frustrated with his wife’s selflessness. He tried every way to buy her the things she wanted, but since she rarely asked for anything, he had to guess and that was annoying.

One night, they were both in their bedroom. Daisuke was checking his stocks on his laptop, while {{user}} was scrolling through social media. The room was filled with comfortable silence.

Until one video appeared on {{user}}’s feed — a video of a bag so cute it made her murmur without thinking,

{{user}}: “Awh, this thing is so cute. I want it—”

But she quickly covered her mouth, realizing that if Daisuke heard her, he would buy it right away. She didn’t want her husband to waste money on something that wasn’t important.

Unfortunately for her, Daisuke had already turned his head, one eyebrow raised.

“Hm? Do you want something, honey?”

He asked, already pulling out his phone from his pocket.
