did i hear correctly ??, page-14

I get the sense that AS is just repeating patterns.

"[82] Relations between the plaintiff and the defendant continued to be cordial, even affectionate, after the letter of 17/18 March 2003 was signed. The defendant continued to visit the plaintiff and stay with her from time to time. He took her on a holiday in the Maldives between 30 July and 11 August 2003. That holiday cost him of the order of $40,000, and his itemisation of the expenses suggests it was quite luxurious. During their stay in the Maldives, the defendant said to the plaintiff words to the effect of:
You are a rich woman now Louise.
You will be able to set yourself up in a home for you and the boys when we get back. Trust me Lou, I’ll take care of everything for you.
Have you thought about where you would like to buy a house.
There is no need to worry about anything Louise, I will sort out the transfer of shares when we get home.
[83] After their return, the defendant spoke to the plaintiff about the shares, and said words to the effect of:
I will look after things with your shares.
I will make sure that they are transferred to you, you will be a rich woman and can buy a house. Trust me.
[84] Soon after their return from the Maldives, the plaintiff asked him to transfer the shares to her, but he did not do so. The following conversation ensued:
DEFENDANT: “It’s not the right time to transfer the shares now Louise”. PLAINTIFF: “But I need these shares as you have promised so that I can sell them. I need this money”.
DEFENDANT: “I can’t transfer the shares to you now, I will give you some money for Christmas”.
