Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 814

Chapter 814 You’re Confused

Irvin dashed amok on the streets. Worried that he would become an easy target, he went into a mall he came across.

But lo and behold, because his actions were too quick for him to react, he bumped straight into a woman who was walking in his direction, causing her to stumble and lose her grip on her coffee, spilling it on another woman.

The coffee instantly left a massive stain on the second woman’s snow-white dress.

“Sorry!” Irvin hurriedly put his hands together and apologized. “I really didn’t mean to do it. Are you scalded?”

However, she didn’t answer him immediately but only fixed her dress with a frown.

On the other hand, though, the man beside her had a hint of sadness in his eyes when he realized who the child was.

Never did Alexander imagine finding the person he could only see through pictures and videos in the last seven years to suddenly stand in front of him. However, it still hadn’t come time for them to reunite.

“Where are your parents?” he asked, looking impassive on the surface, seemingly unfazed by the minor accident.

“She’s not here.” Irvin owned up to it. “Even if she comes, we’ll still have to apologize and compensate. Your time will be wasted like that, so why don’t I just compensate you now?”

A sliver of grimness laced Alexander’s eyes, but he said nothing. Looks like this little rascal came back on his own.

“You talk big for a little kid.” The woman was in seventh heaven when she could finally hang out with Alexander again, but her good mood was now ruined thanks to this little episode. She didn’t want to simply dismiss the issue, but then because Alexander was right next to her, she could only pretend to make a joke out of it with a chuckle. “This designer dress is from a foreign brand’s latest collection. It’s worth about ten thousand Alzue Vraleings. I’m afraid your bit of allowance isn’t enough to pay for it.”

“Alzue Vraleing? That’s great. I haven’t managed to exchange the currency yet.” Irvin’s eyes lit up, and he pulled a wad of cash out of his bag. “Here you go, ma’am.”

The woman took the cash from him dazedly, and to her surprise, it was indeed Alzue Vraleing!

At that, she shifted her gaze back to Irvin, now having a different impression of this generous little kid.

“Since you’ve taken the money, you’ve agreed to settle this. I have to go now, ma’am. See you!”

“I have something to attend to. If you’ll excuse me.” Alexander made an excuse and walked away right after Irvin left, leaving the woman there alone.

…

After a few corners and turns, Irvin finally arrived at the publishing house Onyx worked in.

At that, he sat on the lion statue at the gates and waited patiently for the man to come out.

At last, Onyx finally came out, talking and laughing with his colleagues as everyone started getting off work.

Irvin spotted the man in the crowd at first glance and jogged to Onyx with his skateboard in his hands. “Grandpa!” he called out sweetly.

Mommy said Grandpa is super nice to us. He’ll certainly be thrilled to see me!

Alas, reality gave his beautiful dream a big slap in the face.

Onyx froze for a split second, and upon realizing the child was calling out to him, he frowned in disdain and deliberately dissociated himself in a joking manner. “Hahaha, poor kid! He has confused me with his grandfather!”

Irvin’s smile froze on his face, and the child furrowed his brows disappointingly. “But I didn’t!” he insisted.

“Sure, sure, you didn’t. I bet you’re hungry. Here, I’ll give you some money for food.” Onyx feigned generosity and pulled Irvin aside while pulling a banknote out of his pocket. As he handed the cash to the little guy, he gripped his arm and mumbled a warning, “Go and wait in the cafe over there, rugrat, or you can forget about ever calling me your grandfather!”
