Arwen watched Aiden as he led her into another brand store. She wanted to laugh, but she held it in to not give away the fun she was having with him. Even though she hadn't bought anything yet, she wasn't upset about it.
In her busy schedule, she hardly gets time to shop. It was good to have someone who could manage this for you, keeping in mind your style and preference. And she wasn't like other socialites whose days would get spent thinking about what she would wear the next day.
As long as the outfit matches her comfort and style and is favourable to the weather, she will wear it and go out.
And recently, all the clothes she wore were according to her comfort preferences. They are either customized or from well-known brands that she has previously liked.
If it were Mr. Jones who was taking care of it, she would thank him properly after getting back home.
"Are we entering this store now?" she asked when they finally stopped at a stop.
Aiden gazed at the brand name and nodded, "Let's go and see if there is anything here that you like."
Arwen also glanced to check the brand name and slowly pursed her lips. "I have never tried this brand before. Are you sure, we are going in?"
He nodded.
And she simply gave him a long stare before agreeing. "Okay, then let's go in and see."
She was liking this role of grumpy wife, especially after seeing him working hard to coax her back to a better mood.
Was he really that doting to her? Or had he truly not realized that she was just playing with him and not exactly upset with him?
As they entered the store, a store assistant came forward to assist them.
"Sir, ma'am, good afternoon. How may I assist you?" Her eyes darted to look at Aiden, turning warm at his handsome look.
Arwen noticed it, and she followed her line of sight before stepping forward to obstruct it smoothly. "You can start by showing us your couple collection."
Although her words came softly and kindly, the meaning behind them was not masked.
The store assistant was instantly embarrassed. Looking away, she quickly looked down and bit her lip. "Ma'am, please come this way." With that, she turned and walked in a particular direction in the store.
Arwen watched her but didn't immediately follow.
"We are looking for a couple outfits?"
She heard him close to her ears, and when she turned to look, their proximity made her breath hitch. Their lips were mere inches apart. "You … what are you doing?"
She asked, her face turning red. She didn't move, but stayed.
"I am just asking you if we are shopping couple outfits?" he then pulled away as if he didn't realize what he did. "You just asked her, so I thought to clarify it with you."
