My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 252

Chapter 252: Abduct Her
“Look at these many beautiful dresses. My baby niece is going to love all of them,” Tracie cheered, picking the baby-sized dress and bringing it to her face as if imagining the baby in it to confirm she was going to look pretty in the dress. “Yup! She’s going to look cute in them,” she confirmed, dropping the cloth in the basket.

“That’s the 12th black dress you’ve gotten for the baby. At least choose other colors,” Kael complained.

“What do you mean? I got other colors too. Look at this one…” She says, picking up the dress she chose a few seconds ago. “It has a pink glitter design on it. So for your information, it’s not completely black,” she argued.

“But most of the clothes are black. Even the bow you got her is black, Tracie. Why’s that? Are you planning to paint the baby’s lips black as soon as she’s born?” He argued back, earning a dramatic gasp from Tracie.

“And what if I am, what are you going to do about it?” She questioned, rolling up her sleeves as if ready to fight.

“You’re so insufferable,” Kael mumbled under his breath, choosing to ignore Tracie and simply let her pick whatever she wanted.

He couldn’t afford to risk exposing his face just to win an argument with her. Not only would it lead to people recognizing them, but they would also be swarmed by fans asking for autographs and selfies.

That would completely ruin their shopping mood and turn a simple outing into a chaotic spectacle. Better to keep things low-key and avoid the unwanted attention altogether.

‘Why me?’ Kael wondered, closing his eyes and taking in a sharp breath, already wishing they were done since that was the second argument since they left Xavier’s mansion.

Then Kael spotted Anastasia looking behind her as if searching for someone.

“Did you invite someone else for baby shopping?” He asked her, following cue as he repeated her movements by scanning around to see if he could find someone familiar.

“N-no, I just felt like someone was watching me,” Anastasia replied, subtly looking behind her.

“What?” Tracie questioned, looking behind them, up the escalator near them, and the front, her eyes as sharp as a hawk without bothering to keep her movements precise.

She continued looking for a few seconds, pausing when she caught the slight turn from a man who was a few meters away from them, dressed in a casual jogger and a T-shirt, fitting into the crowd as he pretended to examine the dresses in the adult female section.

“It’s nothing! You’re just being paranoid, let’s continue our shopping,” Tracie said, her hands hooking with Anastasia’s as she delivered a bright smile. “You’re overthinking. Let’s go,” she urged.

Anastasia slightly frowned, wondering if she was indeed overthinking and being paranoid. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the first time she’d felt someone watching her whenever she was out in public.

“Could it be a fan who’d already recognized me?” She wondered out loud, quickly adjusting her mask to make sure they were in place.

“Possibly,” Tracie responded, pulling Anastasia along with her as they continued the shopping. When they reached another section, Kael kept her busy, asking her what she wanted to get which gave Tracie the chance to fetch out her phone and fire a text message to Xavier.

‘I feel someone is following us.’

Just immediately, Xavier replied.

‘You need to get out of there and take care of that person if you can.’

‘You know I can’t, Anastasia is right here. I don’t want to make her worry.’

‘In that case, you need to get out of there quickly. Come up with an excuse so she wouldn’t think too much about it. I’ll be sending more men over.’

Tracie quickly fired a message to Kael before locking her phone and keeping it back in her pocket, her body going slightly stiff as she monitored another man moving up closer to their section.

‘If you want to hire people to do a job for you, at least get the capable ones that don’t blow their cover with their stench as soon as they enter, asshole,’ she thought to herself.

Walking up to where Anastasia and Kael were, Tracie made eye contact with Kael, his phone buzzing with a new text message.

He read through it, fully understanding what to do.

“Ana, I think I have a stomach ache,” Kael said, moaning in pain as he suddenly clutched his belly, his face etched with torture and agony.

“What…wait…now? What did you eat again?” Anastasia questioned, her worry evident in her tone as she grabbed Kael.

“I can’t remember. Let’s go home now. You know my condition,” he winced.

Kael was known in the Clark family for having the softest stomach, one that couldn’t handle much food. Even when he managed to eat, he often ended up with a case of an upset stomach. He rarely ate out, sticking mostly to meals prepared by their mother or himself, which made his excuse believable.

“Oh no! We need to leave now,” Anastasia said as Tracie came over to help Kael so he could lean on her.

Anastasia carried the basket as they headed to the counter to pay for their shopping so that they could take Kael back home and release himself.

“Good job,” Tracie said to Kael with a hushed tone so Anastasia wouldn’t hear them. “Thanks to your acting, she bought it.”

Kael hummed. “How many men did you see?”

“So far, only two but I believe there must be more. And the fact they’re daring to come closer only means they have a fixed plan.”

“To abduct her,” Kael finished, feeling his heart fall to his legs.

“Which is why we need to get out of here naturally without her suspecting anything else she will panic,” Tracie explained, feeling the gaze of the second man she’d spotted earlier on her back.

“What are you two talking about?” Anastasia asked, lines formed on her forehead.

“I’m scolding this brat for eating just anything earlier. Now, we have to end our shopping,” Tracie replied.

“We can just reschedule it,” Anastasia replied, carrying the bags after her card went through, then left for the open parking lot.

Tracie quickly fired a text to the four bodyguards Xavier had sent to assist them who were in a separate car from them since Anastasia felt they would be too cramped up in one car.

When they read the text, they quickly fired up the engine of the car, following behind Tracie as they left the parking lot.

Kael continued to wince in pain while Anastasia tried to comfort him.

Tracie watched them from the rearview mirror, but her eyes caught more than just Anastasia and Kael.

She noticed two cars driving behind them and not one car looked like the car the bodyguards were in.

“Shit!” Tracie cursed under her breath, her feet hitting the pedal, driving the car at full speed.
