Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 69

He watched her for a while, and suddenly cleared his throat to get her attention. “Um… little wife.”

“Yes.” Leia raised her head to gaze at him with an expectant look on her face.

Adrik coughed yet again and darted his eyes around. “How do I go about this?” He muttered to himself, as though contemplating how to say whatever he wanted to say.

Leia’s brow furrowed at his behavior, and she arched her brow in suspicion. “You… have something to tell me?” She asked and stared at him in a questioning manner.

Adrik raised his eyes to gaze at her, and he slightly nodded his head. “I do have something to tell you.”

“Then go ahead.” She shook her head at him and scooped up a full spoon of rice to eat. However, the next words that exited Adrik’s lips had her halt the spoon at her lips. “I want to take you on a date.” Her body stilled and she raised her head to gape at him with disbelief, evident in her pitch-black pupils.

Adrik parted his lips and began to glance around, with nervousness visible on his face. Damn, so that’s how that guy he saw at that restaurant felt. His heart is beating widely inside of him. His little wife is completely different from other women, so he’s not even sure if she will say yes.

He smiled nervously and gazed at her in anticipation.

Leia’s eyes blinked continuously for a while before she dropped the spoon back into the plate and stood up from the chair.

She slowly walked over to him and stared down at him. Bewildered, Adrik also gazed at her with an uneasy smile on his lips. “Um, little wife…”

“So you want to take me on a date?” Without letting him finish his sentence, Leia threw a question at him with an unexpected smirk on her lips.

“Ahh… yes,” Adrik answered and fluttered his eyes in confusion. What is his little wife trying to get at?

“I see…” Leia grinned widely and leaned down so her face was close to his and cupped his cheek with her left hand. “I will go on a date with you.” She shrugged, and a smile began to emerge on Adrik’s face, but Leia abruptly grabbed the knife on the table for cutting apples and aimed it at his throat.

“Little wife!” Adrik’s eyes dilated a bit, and he glanced at her, then at the knife, and back at her. “What are you-”

“If it turns out that you’re just joking with me, I will cut your shit.” She glanced at his little brother, and a smile crept onto her face.

“Why would I joke about something like that?!” Adrik’s brow creased, and he slowly took the knife from her. “You should keep away from knives too.”

Leia shrugged and straightened up, then proceeded to leave. However, she suddenly halted and swiftly turned around to wink at him. “I will be in the garden.” She smiled widely and strolled away to the backyard.

Adrik blinked his eyes, and a soft chuckle couldn’t help but escape his mouth. “Little wife.” He slightly shook his head and stood up from the chair to make a call to Alex.

….

Seated at the white swing in the garden and gazing out to the horizon, a long smile couldn’t stop emerging on Leia’s lips. The swing rocked her back and forth, and she bit her lip as extreme happiness bubbled up in her heart.

‘He’s taking me on a date.’ She plucked off the hems of the lily flower in her hand and kept smiling sheepishly at herself. ‘I have never gone on a date before. I wonder how it feels.’ She raised her eyes to stare at the bluebird resting on the hand of the swing.

“Little fella.” She adjusted to caressing the bird, but in her notice, the little blue bird flew away. Leia’s face altered in annoyance, and she cursed at the bird. “Stupid bird.” She shook her head, and the smile on her face returned once again. “I won’t let anything ruin my day today.” She let out a low sigh and continued to rock back and forth on the swing.

Gazing at the workers decorating a beautiful canopy that had a romantic look, Alex’s face puckered in dissatisfaction.

“No! No! No.” He stomped towards the workers and took a long, deep breath of irritation. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve told you that this has to be here, and this has to be here!! For goodness’s sake, this has to be perfect!-” A low sigh escaped his lips and he whispered to himself, “-or I might not live to see the next day.”

The workers nodded at him with nervousness evident on their faces, and he shook his head at them, then went back to surveying what they were doing.

Adrik stepped into an expensive mall with his men following behind him. His eyes darted around and fell on a young lady standing beside a shelf holding onto different expensive-looking beautiful clothes.

He walked over to the young lady, his hands stuffed inside the pocket of his long black jacket.

The moment the young woman saw him walking towards her, her eyes dilated in shock, and she immediately rushed to him. “Mr. Avalanzo.” She bowed continuously with a huge smile on her face. This was the first time that Adrik had ever come to their company, and it was such a huge honor.

I mean, it’s not every day that you get to see the richest man in the world in your company. This would even help them rise to fame.

Adrik glanced at her and his face puckered at how stupidly she was smiling. He ignored it and turned around to face her. “I need a dress for my wife.”

“Your wife…?” The young lady asked with dilated eyes. Since when was Mr. Avalanzo married?

Adrik’s face turned expressionless immediately, and his green eyes glared viciously at her.

“Please forgive me… I will get onto it right away.” The young lady immediately apologized when she saw his expressionless eyes and scurried to get his order, but she abruptly halted as though remembering something and hurried back to him.

“My apologies, Mr. Avalanzo, but may I know what type of color your wife likes and what type of dress will be suitable for her?”
