Cruel World novel Chapter 21

Sarah

'NO this is too revealing ...I need something elegant but demure at the same time' Theo told the Lady who was the shop assistant of some biggest and expensive place in town...

Sarah has already changed like 5th clothes but theo was not satisfied with the look...Sarah was tired and frustrated that why can't he decide something or let her decide something but Sarah forget that she doesn't have to say in anything. She just wanted to go home to her daughter.

Sarah was already so confused that what is happening here. By all of a sudden Theo is so considerate on her and now pampering her with expensive clothes...she was still uncertain about the long talk they had at night...Theo told her He was trusting her...but still there is so unanswered questions in her mind but too scared to ask them...She doesn't want to ruin some sort of civility between them and Theo has already told her that he doesn't want to live like this with her in anger and resentment. Maybe it's her naive heart that wants to believe him and maybe he is changing but she can't be sure on that. She is still so scared of him.

The lady comes with another dress it and helped her to wear it..it was a long like a sleek gown and glitz navy blue colour with a shiny belt...Sarah loves it she was aww with the dress..an unwanted smile came to her mouth and she feels the soft material in her hand... Theo was looking more potently on her than on a dress and said 'You liked it?'

Sarah looked him in the mirror 'I..if you like it I will wear it'

Theo gives her an intense look and his thumb was rubbing his jaw...he look intimidating but very sexy..oh god Sarah stop it...

Theo told the shop lady 'can you give us a moment'...the Lady node professionally

Theo walk towards her and stand behind Sarah and looked her in mirror 'Mrs grey I told you if you like something you have to tell me ...how would I know then?...you know the way you get scared and look so uncertain makes me look bad in public , so I asked one more time do you like this or not'

Sarah narrowed her brows and confusion and in anger...she wanted to shout on his face that it was because of him she is like that and now he is warning her about public appearances..Very considerate of him.

Sarah then softly replied 'yes. I liked it'

Theo lightly grace is fingers on Sarah backless gown and Sarah shiver. Theo smirk that he has that kind of effect on her ..'Good I also like that. You wear this on the gala that will be held in Miami..now let's check the shoes '

Theo let the shopkeeper pack the other dresses and show Sarah the appropriate shoes with this dress she will be wearing on the gala.

Sarah was terrified when the shopkeeper brought the heel which was too long and slim...oh god how she is going to wear this...she is out of practice as she never got the opportunity to wear heel outside and even if she got she will never wear this type of heel but according to shopkeeper that this heel will go with the dress and with her short height...when she wore the heel with the dress it looks good but Sarah can't balance it properly ...oh god what she do...Theo was attentively watching her and she doesn't want to spoil his mood ..fuck she twist her foot...she did that like thrice and was holding the wall for the support ..Theo got irritated by this and cursed softly and then in a crude way said to shop keeper 'Brought her something else where she can walk like a lady, not a five year old and not a make a fool of herself and me'

The shopkeeper and Sarah was embarrassed that how he said so openly...Sarah can felt the tears coming and she was so embarrassed and hurt how he insulted her...where the topic of public appearance goes now? isn't applicable to him ?... Theo must realize his mistake when he saw the hurt expression in Sarah's eyes, but he did not say anything he just ignores her again.

When they were done with the shopping Theo decided to take Sarah for lunch.

Sarah thought he is surprising her very much what's gotten into him...maybe he is trying to make her feel good after he acted like a jerk and snob in the shop.

In the upscale restaurant, Theo order food for them without asking from her...sarah was looking outside the window..after living in the mansion and not going out...it gives her a moment of realization.. things have been so changing outside, she really wants to bring Ava and take her for a walk. Ava enjoyed that when she took her when first she went shopping. Theo break her moment 'What are you thinking?'

Sarah shakes her head 'Nothing... I was wondering what Ava is doing'

Theo sighs 'relax she is with the house helper missy... I didn't tell Mrs. Brickson because she was ill..so chill she is sound fully sleeping'

Sarah replied 'How do you know'

Theo take out his phone and show it to her 'Here...you can see in the live footage of the camera ...she is fine'

Sarah saw her little angel sleeping peacefully...Sarah smiled lightly.
