Chapter 144 144. Unicorn Is Back
Trio of Alex, Grace and Xiao Bai wandering in the mall, While Alex was suppressing the urge to buy this whole mall, He wants everything in it.
Xiao Bai too looked everywhere curiously holding his hand tightly because of fear of being left alone again.
Grace on the other hand was just tagging along with them as it was neither her first time seeing a mall nor she had any interest in those games. She did not understand why men buy and play these stimulating games when they can just go outside and do those things in real life.
Still, she was happy that Alex was enjoying it. Anyway, women are always being dragged to the mall by their men, So she was happy to get this opportunity with Alex.
"You liar, You said you will take me to dinner, I was waiting for you all night but you never called, I was worried and sick thinking about something that happened to you but here you are enjoying your day worry-free."
Suddenly their calm atmosphere got broken by the roar of a woman though it sounded too childish to be taken seriously.
Alex turned around just to see his long-lost unicorn walking angrily towards him with her loli body. No matter how hard she tried to look intimidating she just looked super cute.
"Loli!! Long time no see, Come here hug me."
When Alex saw her his first reaction was for her to call her out ignoring her angry look, After all if she is here then he did not have to think much, Here is his walking bank.
If he wants he can buy the whole mall, He did not get money from his family yet but she has full control of the family making it easy to take out funds.
So he hurriedly walked towards Father then she came towards him, And then like he did before called her loli before lifting her up and holding her two arms, Which she thought did not look happy but did not put any resistance.
"....You are forgiven but treat me now."
Liza was angry, Super angry that Alex bailed on her but seeing his face, Her face control trait kicked in and she instantly forgave him.
For her, anyone who is handsome deserved to be forgiven no matter their crime, Which might have made her worse jury but for Alex she was nothing but a blessing, After all his main force lay in his charm.
Which made her one of the few heroines that he did not have to worry about, Which made his life a little easier taking away the stress of keeping it together.
So he does like her and her personality is also not that hard to deal with, Her only requirement is that the person has to be beautiful for her to show this side.
That's why even though she hated someone commenting on her height and body, Alex got a free pass for it and even now she let him do this embarrassing thing just because he has a face for it.
Liza before seeing him was very angry. She thought that Alex would call her or inform her if he was running late but he did ghosted her.
She called him multiple times but he did not reply to her one call. She thought that something might happen to him as there are no fewer people who wanted to destroy the Winchester family. It's only because of their background that those people put on the leash.
But targeting alone pretty much-abandoned heir of Winchester though still risky, much not that hard to do and can be done swiftly, So her worry was not without any reason.
That's why in a hurry she called Amara, Her friend who for a reason Alway calls her Aunty, who Liza also hates. Not only men but also women did not want to be called old no matter their actual age.
It's just men who are upfront about it, While women try to pretend that they do not care. Where in fact they do care, A lot.
Well, That aside she does find out from Amara that Alex goes to hospitals, So in a hurry she reached to the hospital just to find out that he was not there, After using her network, She gets information about him being in the mall
So she rushed here wanting to ask him about it.
"Sorry, Liza I did not call you but are you mistaken? I said, "Tomorrow men today, Our appointment date is today at night, So I did not miss it nor I had forgotten it, It's just that I was running busy since yesterday, So I have not had time to reply to you."
Alex, after putting her down, looked at her and said it. He indeed had forgotten that he had promised her a treat as too many things happened in between like a ghost one, But after her reminder he realised it.
It's just that he asked that today will be his promised treat, not yesterday, As he planned on spending time with Alia through Rita and the ghost encounter changed that plan of his, That's why he was sure the promised date was today.
"Huh?? Really? You are not lying to me, right? Because you are, It's not a big deal, Just treat me to something sweet."
Liza looked at Alex with a strong gaze and said, Anyone in her family who saw her like this they might think someone had put their Madam in the illusion.
Yeah, She is not called as a young or eldest miss but as Madam, because she is a bead of the White family and she herself is in her 40s, the Same age as Helen and Isabella. It's just her superpower that affected her appearance.
This is also a reason why she did not have any friends after her disgust towards the "ugly" people. That other woman in her age was not able to talk to her like equals.
The only reason they even are in contact with her is the White family behind her, As two things are always in demand, One is weapons and the other is medicine, Which has crooked irony to it.
White family as being a giant in pharma is always in demand, Of course the Winchesters who make weapons also do not lack any attention.
That's why Liza feels so isolated, As she is smart enough to see through pretensions and follow the friendships of those people, making her feel lonely.
This is the reason she was obsessed with Alex. First his looks were to her liking and 2nd he did not care about her height or background, Though to be noted it was when Alex was a small child, Who did not know anything about the world.
"I am not lying but I will buy you sweets. It's just I can't buy much of it as I do not have much money to spare. After all, I am an abandoned child no one cares about them, They do not even send me a single penny up until now."
Well, Alex agrees but did not forget to use emotional backstory to take out money from her purse.
Don't judge him, Be needs money to buy game-*Ahem* daily necessities to survive, So it was a matter of survival, So little white lies can be looked past.
"Really!? Did they not send you any money? How did you survive then? That's why you are with Alia? It's a really serious question of who are these two women staring at me?"
Liza was really taken aback hearing the Winchester family did not send Alex any money, Making a sad, dramatical story of Alex wandering on the streets hungry, and cold looking for a place to avoid the elements.
Then Alia might have come to him like a saviour giving him food and a place to stay, Which might help her to win his heart.
Now she was regretting why she followed the decree of the Winchester family not to contact him. If she did she should be the one heroine to save the handsome and win his heart.
If she did that she would not have to fight for his attention like right now, This will be the biggest regret in her life.
Then Liza sensed two sets of eyes staring at her, One was curious while the other was looking at her full of hatred and jealousy.
She turned around and looked at two women, Both of them exceptionally beautiful, helping her suppress the emerging flame of jealousy in her heart.
She had to ask Alex about them as they are beautiful, So she asked in the same sentence that her attention span is not that much and can be easily distracted.
"Well...She is Grace, the Daughter of Gloria, Your yesterday patient and my partner and that cute Loli is my pet, Xiao Bai."
Alex does want to say that his family sends some money like around 100 million UC which he spends all in one week but seeing that Liza changed the topic on her own, How too change it.
He first introduces Grace to her and then to Xiao Bai, He was not surprised she asked about them as they are beautiful and her trait is that she can't resist beautiful things.
But when he turned around the look on their face startled him, making him able to understand what just happened.
