Chapter 67
Chapter 67
Aurora was stunned when he stated that he would take her shopping. "Liam, I have a car, I can go
there myself," she said for the twelfth time but he was not listening, she cursed herself in her mind, why
did she come with him.
"We are here, so shush!" Liam parked the car in front of one of the elite shopping centres. Aurora
glanced at the centre with raised brows.
"What are we doing here?" She asked with an odd expression on her face. her arms crossed to her
chest.
"You said shopping…"
"Mr Knight, Emily would never accept something from this kind of place. She takes what she could
return back so we always gift her things that would not harm her purse because she always made sure
she returned what we gave her. So can you please take me to some shopping mall?"
"You could have told me that before," he said while backing his car towards the exit.
Aurora glanced his way, "are you angry?" She asked.
"No, You can give me trouble anytime you want." He said as if it didn't matter to him that he just wasted
an hour because of her. The Liam Knight who used to be particular about everything was trying to
impress a girl who should have been his till now but no, damn her father spoiling his plans.
Right now, he only believes in one thing, neither forgiven nor forgotten, he just delayed his plans. A
minor setback, that's what he calls it.
At the same time, Aurora didn't speak after that because she was reliving a memory of her and Gabe.
She recalled the day when she accidentally gave him the wrong address when she went shopping. She
was waiting for him to pick her up with a dreamy face and huge smile but when he came to pick her, he
was furious because he cut his time short to pick her and she gave him the wrong address. He gave
her a huge lecture on wasting his precious time. She still remembers how many times she apologized
to him for that day and even then he didn't forgive her and it was when the emotional pressure became
too much for her to bear he forgave her that too with a warning that she would not do something like
that again as if she gave her the wrong address to tease him.
And here, Liam just told her that she has the right to trouble him. She was stunned by his words.
"Are you saying that you won't be angry if you have to let go of important work because of me?" She
couldn't stop herself from asking.
Liam chuckled as he took a U-turn and drove straight towards the mall. "Is anything more important
than you, Aurora?" He asked, turning his head towards her. The pureness which reflected in his words
and eyes made her heart thump strongly.
"Here we reached your destination," Liam said as he parked his car in the parking lot. Aurora was
about to open the door for herself but he stopped her.
"That's a gentleman's job to do, Mrs Knight," he silkily stated and stepped out of the car, opened the
door for her.
Aurora was unable to believe what she was seeing. She was confused. A question raged in her mind
about him, his true face.
Is what he was showing now was his real self or the face he showed her on that island? Aurora King
was confused and she didn't like it a bit.
They went inside and roamed around. Aurora felt like a kid in the candy store and damnit she went to a
candy shop.
"It's a candy shop, Aurora!" Liam was stunned. Had she lost her mind! What does she want in a candy
shop? Liam looked around to make sure no one he knew was anywhere near him. Fuck, his reputation
in the mob world would be tarnished if anyone sees him like this.
"How may I help you, miss?" The man on the counter asked.
Aurora was smiling ear to ear while staring at all the candies. "I want to taste all these." She replied
pointing at a few candies in the glass.
The man smiled politely and pulled out a tray with candies over it. Aurora eagerly picked the pink
chocolate candy and tasted it, moaned soundly and gave the man a thumbs up.
Liam on the other hand was looking at Aurora with a horrified face.
Fuck! My life is ruined. These were the words that came to his mind. He was going to marry a girl who
still behaved like a kid in a candy store!!!
Aurora took another chocolate candy in her mouth and closed her eyes enjoying the taste of chocolate
on her tongue. Once she gulped it, her head turned to Liam, smiling broadly she waved her hand to
him.
"Why are you standing there, come and taste it."
What the hell am I doing here? Why the fuck I am doing this?
His eyes still held that horrified look but somehow he got out of his shocked mind and walked near her.
"Take a bite of it," she said, offering caramel candy to him. Liam eyes it as if she was offering him
something poisonous.
"I don't…" he opened his mouth to speak but Aurora put the candy in his mouth. His eyes widened as
he put a hand on his face from stopping the crumbs from getting out of his mouth.
"How is it?" Aurora asked, excitement sparkling in her eyes.
Liam chewed the candy, the sweetness ruined his taste buds. He stopped eating these idiotic things.
And today he was forced to eat this shit by his future wife, damn it where his fear flew away.
"C'mon tell me?"
He swallowed it somehow and forced himself to smile. "Delicious!" He replied but the glare he gave to
that poor man on the counter told him how he felt. He was thinking of the ways he could kill that man
and on top of the list of options was, he would kill him by making him eat all these oversweet candies.
"Yea! I thought so too," she said chirpily and turned to the man. "Pack twenty pieces of every flavour."
"Twenty?" It's confirmed the girl needed a mental check-up.
She shrugged her shoulders. "I love them." She smiled and pulled her card out to pay but once again
Liam beat it to her and handed his card to the man who looked at them both.
"Take it," he ordered.
"No, take mine," then to Liam. "You can't do that, I am not letting you pay my bill."
Liam gestured to the man with his eyes who didn't think twice before accepting his card. "Don't think
about it," he said in an authorised tone.
Aurora pinched her lips, not liking his tone but knowing that she can't do anything about it. She took the
bags from the man and gasped.
They were too many for her to hold and especially when she had to shop so much more yet. "Liam, can
you help me?" She said, showing him the cartons of bags.
Liam was astounded. Horrific. Bewildered! Imagine the future boss of the Vancouver crime family
holding candy cartons while his future wife shops!
With a tight lip, he smiled and accepted the bags and followed Aurora like a porter. Marrying her with a
gun pointed on her head would have been far easier than this torture he was going through and right
now he wanted nothing else than do that.
Aurora jovially went to a gift shop. She searched for something cute to Emily's liking. Then her eyes
went to a big teddy bear.
"Perfect," Aurora said, feeling the softness of that teddy in her hand. "What do you say?" She asked
Liam who eyed her from head to toe.
Mental asylum should be a perfect place for her. Who gives a freaking teddy bear to someone over
their birthday and that too when you are a grown-up adult.
Again he put on a bright smile on his face. "Perfect."
"I thought so," she went to the bill counter and bought it. The bag was so huge that it was hard to hold
it. Aurora turned around and made puppy dog eyes to Liam who's eyes were about to pop out of his
eyes getting the reason behind her pouty face.
His nose flared and he was about to throw whatever he had in his hands on the floor and give that girl a
piece of mind. He glanced back at the man in reception. "Is there someplace we can keep this teddy till
we finish our shopping in the mall?" He gritted out and the man on the other end nodded.
"Yes we do have counter services but it's gonna cost you about fifty Bucks."
Liam nodded, pulled out a 100 dollar note and handed it to him. "Keep the change but take care of all
these things."
Aurora's whole body was shaking in mirth. Oh boy, that's just the starting of your torture. You made me
sleep on the sand under the naked sky when you had a freaking Villa on that island. You made me eat
that restless fish when you were having delicious food and on top of that, you mocked my friendship.
You will suffer for everything, Liam Knight.
"You want to buy something else?" Liam asked, calmly or whatever close to it he could manage at that
time.
"Cake then I have to look at some dresses and some make up and some shoes…" Aurora teased,
Liam sharpened his eyes. "Then let's start it," he said in a serious tone which erupted a wave of
goosebumps on Aurora's whole body.
Liam understood too well that she was teasing him, he could read her like an open book.
"Sure," she shrugged her shoulders and then went in search of a cake shop. Liam noticed it first, "there
it is," he pointed at the shop and they both entered.
"This, can I have a taste?" Aurora asked, pointing at the mermaid cake. She was happy that she finally
found the mermaid cake and now if it's taste was exactly like she wanted then her work woufl be done.
Liam Knight, who was more mature than her at the age of twelve was stunned, seeing her choices. It Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
was declared that the girl only had the body of an adult but she still had that childlike nature. She didn't
grow up and he was close to having an anger attack and them his feelings changed because that girl
moaned and then his mind once again took a troll. He didn't even have to tell why?
"I am taking it," she said and this time handed her card to the man at the counter.
When Liam raised his brows she giggled. "This time I was quicker than you, Mr Knight."
Liam bit his cheek from inside, drinking her beauty with his eyes. "Till when, Mrs Knight."
Aurora's smile became smaller and she turned back to the man at the counter, "would you like us to
deliver it for you?"
Before Aurora could reply, Liam said. "Yes."
"No, it's a surprise birthday party and no one is at our home right now. Who would receive it? I have
only a little more shopping left than we can take it by ourselves," she told Liam and then turned to the
man again. "We can keep it on the counter as we did with our other stuff."
Liam agreed and sent them to the counter and finally went shopping for a dress for Emily.
"Are you having some circus-themed party, ?" Liam asked when Aurora kept checking some frilly
dresses.
"No, it's just I love them," she lazily drawled and then gasped soundly. "Omg! Liam looks at that," Liam
turned his eyes to the place where she was pointing and found a sparkling red dress.
"Cool, I am buying it for Susan and Emily."
"The same dress for both of them?" Although he didn't have any interest in what she bought for her
friends, he would rather see her in this dress and have his way with her. It certainly sounded strange
when she said that she would be buying it for them.
"Ya! It's our ritual to always dress up the same for our cosy birthdays. We party with people but this is
our private celebration and I love it more than the parties where I have to smile and not enjoy it. I would
rather go for a long vacation than suffer the torture of standing the whole night and greeting people who
bash behind my back and call me a spoilt brat."
"People always bitch behind the back and they do it because they don't have the guts to do it on your
face…" Liam said, thinking in how many ways Ethan would torture the person who dared to speak
about his rich brat.
"But it still hurts," she said in a heavy voice but cleared her throat and asked the attendant to find a
dress in two different sizes. Suddenly her phone buzzed a message from Susan asking where she
was. Aurora sent her the address
The attendant nodded and was about to turn when Liam stopped her. "Wait," he then turned to Aurora
"what's your size?" He asked, gazing at her from head to toe.
Aurora stood numb for a second. "Why are you asking?"
"Because this dress is made for your body, Mrs Knight, and looking at your body I think this one will fit
you perfectly." He nodded at the dress, hanging in the glass.
"No, I will look fat…"
"You will look hot in this," he looked at the attendant. "Give me the dress."
"No Liam…" but he didn't listen and handed her the dress. "Go and try it."
"I said no…"
"And I said try it, Aurora." Aurora gasped when he took her name and when she heard her name rolling
out on his tongue a shiver ran through her body. She felt electrifying!
"The dress is perfect for your body and from wherever you get this idea of you looking fat in this dress,
drain it out of you because woman, you will look like a fiery angel in it. So go and try it on."
Before Aurora could speak, Susan's confident voice interrupted her. "The man is saying right, Aurora.
This will look perfect on you."
And they both turned towards her. "Susan!" Aurora Said and walked to her but Susan's eyes were not
on Aurora, they were fixed on Liam who was starting back with assessing eyes.
Liam was the master manipulator but he was unaware of one thing that Aurora was not oy Ethan's
princess but Susan's sister as well and just like Ethan she could go to any level to protect Aurora.
