His Purchased Wife novel Chapter 118

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!
