Billionaire's Contracted & Unloved Wife - Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Ariel was surprised, to say the least.

Where did Gregory come out from?

Wait…has Aiden been using his bodyguard to spy on her?

She immediately became pissed, what gave him the right to invade her privacy to that extent?

Meanwhile, Eva stood mortified beside Ariel, she wasn’t mortified because she’d watched her mother being hauled out of the shopping mall, she was rather mortified because she instantly recognized Gregory, he was Aiden’s bodyguard, the sane guy she had forced a nasty kiss on at Mr.

Dee’s club three years ago.

She felt so embarrassed; how was she supposed to face him now after recalling her wayward behavior toward him and his boss?

She’ll find a way to apologize even if all she wants to do is run away and never see him again.

But she wasn’t that Eva anymore; she was now a woman who took responsibility for her actions, and what better way to build her discipline than not apologizing to people she had wronged in the past?

“See you later, Eva,” Ariek said and grabbed her shopping cart, ready to leave.

“W-wait, please,” Eva held Ariel’s hand once again.

“I need to meet my s-” “Eva!” Jace called from the side as Jewel pushed him inside a shopping cart filled with fluffy and furry toys.

Ariel and Eva turned their heads at the same time in the same direction.

Eva wore a smile on her face while Ariel looked shocked as she stared at the cart Jewel was pushing.

Was he insane?

Did she tell him that she was planning to open a daycare in her home?

Why so many toys?

Eva turned away from Ariel and went to carry Jace out of the cart.

“Hi, sweetheart, I’ve missed you,” She kissed his cheek.

“I missed you too, Eva, did you cry?” Jace used his tiny finger to trace the tear stain he saw on Eva’s face.

“No, sweetheart, I guess it’s water.

Did Uncle buy you toys?” She quickly removed his scrutinizing eyes from her face by changing the subject.

“Yes, now my room is going to be filled with toys, Eva,” Jace told her in a very animated way.

As Eva and Jace chatted, Jewel walked over to Ariel, a deep frown on his face.

“Why is she with you?

Are you friends with the devil now?” He whispered to her.

Ariel sighed, “It’s a long story…I’ll just say she went missing with me and for the past years, this is the person she’d become, a changed person, I think,” she slowly shrugged her shoulders.

Jewel frowned and shook his head, “That’s deception, Ariel.

Did you have amnesia or something?

Trust me, someone like Eca would never change.

She probably realized that her hostile approach wasn’t getting her anywhere, so here she is, ‘changed…'” He did an air quote with an eye roll.

“Her change is to deceive you into thinking that she has really changed, and when you’ve let all guards down, she’d strike line the snake she is.

I don’t trust her, I think she – mmm!” Jewel’s eyes widened in surprise when he felt Ariel’s hand covet his mouth and stop him from saying what he was about to say about Eva.

“I know, Jewel, thanks for your unsolicited insights.

Now, my question is, where the hell do you want me to pack those fucking toys?” She asked in his face, glaring at him.

“Do you think I live in a mansion?

Have you seen my apartment?” Ariel narrowed her eyes at him.

Jewel tapped her hand.

“Mmmm…” He hummed as he pointed at her hand that was still over his mouth.

“Ah, right.

You need to speak,” Ariel chuckled and moved away from Jewel.

Jewel drew a deep breath into his lungs the moment Ariel removed her hand from his mouth, “Damn, woman, you want to kill me?

The world hasn’t seen enough of my beauty, so please, easy with this queen,” He gently patted his face.

“Jewel,’ Ariel called in a warning tone.

“Aw, come on, let the kid have what he wants.

I asked him to point whatever he wanted, and that’s the result you have over there,” Jewel pointed over to Jace, who was busy showing Eva his different toys.

“So, if you have a problem with it, I suggest you take it up with the little guy over there, not me, I’m innocent,” Jewel smirked at Ariel.

Ariel sighed, “Innocent, huh?

I shouldn’t have come out today; I’m facing a lot of bullying, now my child too,” Ariel facepalmed.

“Oh, hi, Gregory, here to shop too?” Jewel greeted the bodyguard who walked over to them.

Ariel immediately looked up and surely, Gregory was back, she wasn’t angry at him, it was Aiden, the poor guy was just following orders and it was only right she behaved nicely towards him since it’s been so long since she saw him.

“Good afternoon, Mrs.

Chaz; I’m sorry for the trouble earlier,” Gregory stood in front of Ariel and gave her a polite nod.

Ariel who was smiling at Gregory frowned at him the moment he called her “Mrs.

Chaz” “Gregory, my name is Ariel, you know this.

What are you even doing here?

He sent you right?” She asked with narrowed eyes.

Gregory couldn’t deny it, he simply nodded, “Yes, he asked me to follow you, just in case something like that happened,” He informed.

Ariel glanced at Jewel; he had a smile on his face as if the situation was funny, but it looked like he found it romantic from the look he was giving her.

“And, for how long have you been following me?” She questioned.

“Since you left your apartment,” He replied honestly.

Ariel scoffed, “Unbelievable,” “And you’re still planning to keep following me, right?” She shook her head.

“Alright, help push the cart, Greg; at least it’s better than being Batman and hiding in the shadows,” She said and walked over to Eva.

“I’ll take him,” she carried Jewel from her.

Eva had refused to look at Gregory since he appeared, but now she had no choice as he walked toeardbhe4 with Ariel’s cart.

To cover her awkwardness, she asked Jewel to let her push the toy cart, “I can help,” She said to him and pushed it ahead.

Jewel looked at Eva suspiciously before he walked behind her.

They reached the checkout point, and Eva was about to start taking out the toys, but someone suddenly held her hand.

“I’ve got it, ma’am,” Gregory gently removed her hand and started to take out the toys.

Ariel and Jewel exchanged a meaningful look.

They were aware of what happened between Gregory and Eva in the past, and somehow, they were starting to suspect that Eva and Gregory might just be on their way to discovering what they’d already discovered about them.

“Thanks,” Eva said in a small voice and stepped back from him, going to stand beside Ariel and Jewel, feeling a little flustered.

As Gregory checked out the items, he was accurately aware that Eva was the one who stole his first kiss.

He remembered that night she had been drunk and forced a kiss on him, he hadn’t forgotten about it since then, how could he, a random girl suddenly stoke his first kiss, that’s something no one would forget.

But he was going to pretend like he’d forgotten because he never knew how to speak to women; addressing the issue would make both of them feel awkward.

He finished checking out and paid before anyone could even realize it.

“I’m done; I’ll just take the bags out to your car,” Gregory said to Ariel as the staff packed the items in a customized bag.

“Huh?

What do you mean by that?

You didn’t even ask for my card,” Ariel replied with a frown.

Jewel nodded, “Yeah, man, I’m supposed to pay for those toys, too,” Gregir6 slowly nodded, “I apologize once again, but Mr.

Chaz asked me to make sure you don’t spend your money on anything, he gave me his black card,” Gregory brought the card out from his pocket and handed it to Ariel.

“He also asked me to give it to you; he’ll come retrieve it tonight, I guess,” He informed.

Ariel’s cheek turned red in embarrassment.

Did Gregory not realize that saying that Aiden would go to her home tonight was just too suggestive?

She was also angry that Aiden thought she would be willing to let him pay for her and even hold his damned card.

“I’m not taking it, you can return it to him,” She said and carried Jace over to the counter.

“No, no, I’ll help carry the bags,” Eva started to grab the bags.

Jewel pointed Gregory to Eva and smirked when Gregory automatically turned and went to stop Eva so he could carry most of the bags.

“Ahh, what a life of luxury,” Jewel sighed beside Ariel.

Ariel rolled her eyes and walked out of the mall.
