Habit

Villain Ch 829. Habit

He picked it up, feeling the smooth, high-quality fabric between his fingers once more. 'This is a nice jacket,' he thought, admiring the craftsmanship. But he quickly reminded himself that he didn't really need it. Jordan had already gifted him a wardrobe full of new clothes, and he couldn't justify adding more to his collection.

He had the money to buy the jacket, even with its expensive price tag, but it wasn't about the cost. Allen's mindset was still deeply ingrained. He only bought what he needed, a habit that wasn't easy to break, even now. He carefully placed the jacket back on the rack, resolving to admire it from a distance rather than take it home.

Emma and Azura exchanged glances. They had been watching Allen, noticing his hesitation and thoughtful expression as he handled the jacket. Emma nudged Azura, and they both turned their attention back to Allen, who was now browsing other items with a reserved air.
