Jonathan followed behind Clarisse, watching her haggle with the vendors. He was indeed someone who could cook but didn't know how to buy or pick things. When she couldn't get the price down, she would pout and act coy.
"Come on, sir/ma'am, can you give me a little discount...?"
Each time, people couldn't resist her fragile demeanor and would give her a discount while saying,
"If it weren't for the fact that this sweet little sister is so charming, I wouldn't be selling this to you at a loss!"
And every time Jonathan saw her failing to get the price down, he would say from the side,
"It's okay if we can't get it cheaper. We're not short of money!"
This always made Clarisse so angry that she would stomp on his foot, annoyed at his flaunting of wealth. If people heard, they would raise the price even more. Besides, bargaining at the market isn't just about saving a few bucks; it's an instinctive reaction of truly living life.
