CHAPTER 126: CHAPTER 125: HE ACTUALLY WANTS TO BUY 2 BOXES

"Emmm, turn around, let me see." Elliana Lyle sat on the bed, her face conflicted as she directed the man in front of her.

A few days ago, she bought some couple outfits online. While everything looked good on Norman Bennett, she always felt something was a bit off!

For example, the goose-yellow hoodie, sunny and infused with youthful vibes, actually didn’t suit someone as noble and aloof as Norman Bennett at all.

Watching the man change into a black sweater, she touched her chin and pondered for a while, then shook her head, "No, no, this color is too dark. Change."

"Not good, change."

"Missing something, change."

Norman Bennett: "(●—●)"

...

The man patiently tried on almost the entire wardrobe, changing from 7 AM until 12 PM, and finally, he put on a white shirt.

The white shirt already looked cool and elegant, especially with the man’s slender figure. It was simply perfect!

Elliana’s eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands, "Good, this one, this looks great!"

"...Okay." The man breathed a sigh of relief. This white shirt was what he had been wearing since this morning. Even though he was busy all morning for nothing, as long as the little girl was happy, it was fine.

Before leaving, Elliana specifically asked the man to wear a mask. Although his face was hidden, his handsomeness could not be concealed and he stood out even in a crowd.

"Where do you want to go?"

The car was already on the road as Elliana held her phone, searching for a place to go. It was a new phone, but honestly, she still preferred her old one.

"I’m still looking..."

"Okay."

A few minutes later, she finally found a place she hadn’t been to, "Norman Bennett, Everbright Shopping Mall was recently built. Let’s go check it out."

"Okay."

Elliana then smiled sweetly at the man, playfully saying, "Let’s buy some stuff on the way back, and you can cook for me, okay? When I’m better, I’ll cook for you."

Upon hearing the last sentence, the man’s face stiffened, then he said gently, "I’ll cook for you."

...

―――Everbright Shopping Mall.

"Norman Bennett, this place is huge, much bigger than the previous malls."

The mall in front of them was newly built, but it wasn’t any less crowded than other shopping plazas, and its geographical location was a major advantage!

When she saw the Melody Harmony logo, it suddenly dawned on her, "Norman Bennett, did you open this?"

The man nodded slightly, "Yes, it took three years to build and just opened last month."

Most of the shopping plazas in South City were developed by the Bright Tower Corporation, and this monopoly position was unsustainable when Norman Bennett came to develop in South City.

"Then today, I must shop till I drop!" As Norman Bennett pushed her into the mall, she received a call from an unfamiliar number.

It was a number from North City, probably from someone she didn’t know because all the known numbers were saved on her card.

"Hello, who is this?"

From the other side came the lively and enthusiastic voice of a young girl, "Oh, I finally found your number! I’ve come to South City. I went to your house, your household manager said you’re not there, where are you?"

The voice sounded familiar to Elliana, albeit she couldn’t pinpoint exactly who it was, but it seemed the caller knew her well.

Yet she couldn’t recall who it was, somewhat shyly, she asked, "Um, who might you be?"

"Huh?" The person paused briefly, then said a bit angrily, "You can’t recognize my voice?"

"..." Indeed, she couldn’t recognize it.

"I’m Summer Hue! I came to find you right after coming back, and you can’t even recognize me?"

Elliana’s face lit up with joy, realizing it was her little cousin! But hearing Summer Hue say she came looking for her right after returning, she was a bit surprised, "Huh? Aren’t you going to see your parents and grandma first?"

"No way." Summer Hue complained unhappily, "Daisy Hue will definitely be scheming with grandma to find me a match, and the match is definitely going to be some rotten relative from her husband’s family. My mom also always wants me to marry her old friend’s son, a bunch of them, they can’t bear to see me well-off."

Elliana glanced at the man quietly standing behind her, then smiled and said into the phone, "It’s a bit early for you to be thinking about relationships at your age, where are you? I’ll come pick you up."

"I have a boyfriend, I’m with him. He said he’d take me to his brother’s place to rest, I’m so tired. You have to take me out to dinner tonight."

"Alright, see you later."

BEEP―!

Just after hanging up, Elliana looked up and cheerfully said to the man, "Norman Bennett, let’s head to the supermarket and buy more groceries, my cousin is coming. I’ll help you cook for her, how about that?"

"Alright, whatever you say."

...

When they were about to check out, Norman Bennett stopped with her by a small shelf, where the items were limited to small boxes with the words ’contraceptive’ clearly visible.

The man’s slender hand grabbed two boxes and then casually put them into the shopping cart.

This...

Elliana was stunned into silence, choosing to pretend she didn’t see anything...

―――Bennett Family Villa.

To avoid awkwardness, Elliana maneuvered her electric wheelchair into the house herself; she wanted to ask but was too shy.

As soon as she entered, she saw an unexpected person sitting on the sofa!

"Zane Bennett? Why are you here?"

At Elliana’s question, Zane Bennett blinked in surprise, then said somewhat uneasily, "Didn’t I message you?"

He then quickly walked over to Elliana, "Sister-in-law! I brought my girlfriend today, so can you get my brother to be a little nicer."

"You brought a girlfriend? Where is she? Let me see!"

At this moment, the man who had parked the car came in, had no reaction when he saw Zane Bennett, merely greeted him indifferently, "When did you arrive."

"Just now! Brother, I brought my girlfriend home. I’ve been a bit tight on cash lately, can I stay here?"

Before Norman Bennett could speak, Elliana already agreed, "Of course, there are so many rooms here, one more won’t matter."

"Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you, brother!" Zane Bennett quickly expressed his gratitude after Elliana agreed, knowing that his brother wouldn’t go back on it afterward.

But when he looked up towards his brother, he could see that his brother’s face had darkened!

Honestly, although Norman Bennett doted on this brother, he disliked living together due to the noise.

But since his little wife had agreed, he had to give in. "You can stay, just keep quiet; your sister-in-law needs to recover."

"Wow!" Zane Bennett then noticed, perhaps because the last time he saw Elliana, she was also in a wheelchair, so it didn’t strike him as odd at first.

"Sister-in-law, why are you hurt again? Haven’t you recovered?" Then Zane Bennett seemed to remember something, "Wait a minute! Weren’t you filming a while back?"

Right now, all Elliana could think about was seeing Zane Bennett’s girlfriend, because in her past life, this girlfriend of Zane Bennett’s was the woman who helped him in the gaming industry!

She waved her hand indicating that it was nothing, "Just a minor injury, where’s your girlfriend? Has she arrived? When will she come?"

"Oh, she’s resting upstairs, she got a bit tired from traveling all day."
