Alonzo smiled and said, "Okay, sister, I'll buy new clothes for you." He wasn't short on money. During the holidays, the elders gave him lots of red envelopes. He gave sto his mom to save, and managed the rest himself. If he wanted to buy something, he'd use his own money and even kept track of where it went. Elora bent down and gently pinched Alonzo's cheek, smiling. "If you study hard and listen to me, that will makehappy. I'm just teasing-you don't need to buyclothes. I have more than enough." Her closet was full of clothes, many she hadn't even worn yet. She usually wore business suits and only wore casual clothes on weekends. Her mom and aunts loved making her new outfits, even though she didn't need more. They believed a girl should always dress beautifully. It was the swith jewelry. Elora only wore it to special events, but her mom adored jewelry and would always shop for it when she went out, buying pieces for herself and her daughters. Elora had so much jewelry, she could probably open a store. "Sister, I'm studying really hard," Alonzo said. "You work so hard and take care of Angelo and me. I should buy you a new dress. You can't say no." Angelo chimed in, "Sister, we'll both buy you new clothes together. You'll wear them during the New Year!" Elora smiled, touched by their thoughtfulness, and lovingly patted their faces. "Since you two are being so sweet, I'll accept. But don't forget, you also have other sisters-your second, third, and more. You can't just spoil me. If you're giving gifts, you need to buy two sets of clothes for each sister." The brothers fell silent, realizing they hadn't thought of that. They quickly calculated their money, wondering if they had enough to buy two new outfits for each sister.

It was going to cost a lot.
"What's wrong? Second thoughts about spending all that money?" Elora teased. "It's easy to talk big until you have to spend the cash!" Alonzo said, "No way. When our sisters are on break, we'll all go shopping together, and I'll buy clothes for everyone ready-made, not custom." Custom clothes were more expensive, and their sisters usually went to top designers. Alonzo knew buying off- the-rack from big brands would still make his sisters happy and wouldn't break the bank.
"As soon as they find something they like, Angelo and I will buy it that sday!" Alonzo added proudly. Angelo agreed, "Yeah, we've got it covered."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt had been a long tsince they had gone shopping with their sisters. The older sisters usually went out without them, saying the boys were too young and too much trouble.
