My Fiancée Hates Me novel Chapter 15

I woke up to a morning where my tears had already stained my face.

I checked my calendar and understood the reason why I would recall such a thing. That day was coming up...I had circled it largely on my calendar in red every year.

For the rest of the week, I was repeatedly found blanking out. It got to the point that it was so bad that I was forced to take a day off. Furthermore, I was told to bring Garett the Workaholic.

"Maura, that tyrant..." Garett grumbled.

"I'm sorry... I think Maura was worried about me, so she asked you to come watch over me."

"I don't mind!" he said hurriedly. He coughed into his fist. "I don't mind going along with you... You seem like you would run into a busy street by yourself."

"Is there anywhere that you would like to go?" I asked him.

"Normally, shouldn't I ask in this situation?" Garett asked.

We were walking along a busy district, but we were still in a sea of strangers and essentially alone together.

...This could not be considered a date, right?

"I am not well acquainted with Nariel's shopping district..."

"Really? You don't go out to buy clothes? I see you often with new clothes on all the time."

"My mother does shop and sends clothes over as well as my aunt over here. I have not really explored the district by myself either since I am afraid of getting lost. Ever since I came here, I have been managing with only my things that I brought from home."

"Is that really enough?"

"My basic necessities are there. I just do not have anything that makes me feel more comfortable. If I wanted to go somewhere... maybe a home goods store?"

"Understood," Garett said as he suddenly made a hard turn.

I wonder what he understood...

We were suddenly standing in front of a very girly store with plenty of stuffed teddy bears and lace.

"...This is?"

"...Maura often drags me here, so go in," he said as he lightly pressed on my back.

I listened to him and went in. The store had a very cute atmosphere with all of the goods. When I looked around, there were only women. Garett only followed behind quietly or put his eye in the mugs or simple looking goods.

"See anything you like?" Garett asked.

I actually really liked the large almond colored teddy bear with emerald-colored eyes and a large green ribbon with an emerald jewel pendant in the window display.

Since I was with Garett, I thought that it might be a bit too childish if I suddenly went for it.

"The mugs are a practical item," I said as I picked up one.

"I see...I am going outside then. Feel free to look around more," Garett said as he walked towards the exit.

I thought it was my chance to buy the teddy bear or at least put it on layaway. The shop clerk told me that it was already reserved by someone before me. I left the shop in a dejected manner.

"I am done," I told Garett.

"Your load is quite light..."

"I am the kind of person that does not know what they want unless I write it down first."

"That is a shame," he said as he swung a bag over his shoulder.

I opened my hands and saw that Garett had smoothly taken the bag from me without me noticing.

Garett is going to make some lucky girl really happy one day.

My eyes were suddenly drawn to a men's accessory shop.

As if reading my mind, Garett gravitated towards it.

"I want to take a look in here if you don't mind," he said.
