Chapter 42: Shopping

Elizabeth's wrist was hurting by the force Aldrin exerted in gripping it. She rubs it to soothe the pain.

When Aldrin turns to see her looking at her pained expression his features soften.

He is also shocked by the sudden outburst of his anger, but when he thinks of the other man purposing his queen he can't control himself and do what he should do at that moment.

He was not guilty about what he does but can't take her painful expression. He knows they were in a secret relationship for two years that is what was reported to him and after listening to it he didn't waste a moment and get to her for an explanation. But he doesn't want to hurt her.

"Are you alright?" He can't gather the courage to ask that questions, whatever he will be sure now that the future husband of his queen is he not any other person for which he will put his every effort in it.

"What do you think?'' she shouted at him.

"Well, I am sorry I should not have grip your hand that forcefully,'' he lower himself in front of her it was normal for a wife to be wilful towards their husband and so he takes the hand himself and rubs it carefully.

Elizabeth's skin is already white and any injury can outlook on her skin so her wrist was now all red.

"Give me the ointment,'' he ordered coldly.

"yes, sir'' the assistant carefully passed the ointment. He came to know today that his boss's mood fluctuates due to the Madame injury. He has taken her as the future lady boss. He decided to please madam so that he can survive in the future and his life will be easy going which is difficult with his boss's temperament.

Tactfully the driver falls the curtains off and gives them private space. Aldrin was pleased with their behavior.

He carefully applies the ointment to her hand. "If it hurts just tell me"

"No, it doesn't" Elizabeth is calmed looking at the worry on Aldrin's face her initial anger is already reduced.

She is also thankful to him if it wasn't for him she doesn't know how to reject Kevin.

"thankyou," she mumbles.

"What" being her voice even smaller than mosquito one can't listen but Aldrin heard it he thought he misheard her.

Wasn't it that she had to be angry for destroying her perfect moment why is she thanking him? Therefore to make sure it was not wrong he asked her.

But Elizabeth doesn't dare to repeat her words. What if he asks why is she thanking him? the reason behind her thanks and many more questions she doesn't want to face now.

To turn the attention she asked, ''Where is the place that Natalie ask you to take me? and what are we going to do there?"

Aldrin didn't have the answer as he just made an excuse at a random minute thinking that she will not agree now what to do?

He moves closer to her, his breathing falls on her face. He creases her face. Elizabeth was in a daze the masculine scent enters her nose.

"Wh... what are you doing?" she was blank for a period.

"What am I doing shouldn't you focus on me when you are with me. Why are you asking about Natalie?" he asked in a deep voice. He knows it sounds seductive but it successfully diverts her attention from the previous topic this is what he needed.

"Why should I? You... You back off." she says with her rationality returning. Elizabeth has been with Kevin but they weren't in much intimate contact and Aldrin with such a close distance make her heartbeat increase at a rapid rate and they were not alone. Her face turns pink with embarrassment.

Aldrin is mesmerized with her face. He wants to hug her tightly and kiss her with his all but he knows it's not the right time he has to first make her fall in love with himself. It was his first step towards making her his wife.

He calmly moves back to his position. "We are going shopping. Didn't you have to buy a gift for Natalie, father, and mother? I'm just taking you there, remember you said yesterday."

"Oh..! but I can go there myself. You must be busy."

"It's not a problem. I am not busy there's no work left for the rest of the day so I will take to you home after shopping, I have already told your dad, rest assured."

He sounds favorable so Elizabeth didn't retort more and be in her position quietly looking at outside scenery. It is good with him she can buy the gift of their preference she knew about their like but she is not sure if their taste has changed with time.

Especially of Natalie, she hadn't contacted her for a long time.

In front, the assistant was stunned by his boss's words. Aldrin had postponed the important client meeting of billions of dollars and rush here right at the moment reading the report regards to madam and now he said he wasn't busy.

'God how can the boss say a white lie.'

Whatever he had already received much shock today and he just has to obey his boss's orders for being on the safe side.
