Return Of The Heiress For Revenge - Chapter 316

Chapter 316: A Family!

Strange! It feels strange to press the bell of his own house for the first time. Ava had never lived here and no one was ever close to Alric that he could bring them home.

Once, Amyra had visited in his absence. And he had changed all the furniture and decoration after that with the password. And added his fingerprint.

He would end her fingerprint today!

“Sir! The madam went to the market. But when she returned, she could not enter the house because of the lock.” The guard came running when he noticed Alric. But he paused when Alric smiled. It was a rare sight to behold.

“She told me to inform her as soon as you return. Shall I call her now?” Alric frowned. His fingers moved away from the bell.

“No need, I will call her.” the guard nodded and when Alric opened the door, he brought out all the groceries from his room.

Alric stared at the fresh fruits and vegetables strangely. There was a large kitchen in his house but it was rarely used.

“Nora..”

“I will be there in ten minutes.” he wanted to tell her that he would come. But she cut the call before that.

Alric shook his head and picked up the groceries.

“Sir!” The guard was stunned. “Shall I put it in the kitchen?”

“There is no need. You can go now.” the guard hesitated but noticing the smile on his face, he did not dare to ask again. Something was definitely wrong with their master.

Alric took out vegetables. He cut the fruit and added it in fresh cream. Then he chopped the vegetables finely and made soup.

He frowned when he was done. Washing his hands, he called Nora again.

“The number you are calling is switched off.” Alric frowned and called again. His hands slightly tightened on the mobile and a strange burning sensation filled his chest.

He took big strides toward the door. Just as he had opened it to go find her, he found her standing there.

“Nora.” he cut the call and looked at her face with a strange relief. “Why is your phone switched off?” Nora took out her phone from her pocket and noticed it was dead.

“Ah! I did not get time to charge it.” she looked at him and frowned. “Are you going somewhere again? You should sit and rest first, you look exhausted.”

Alric shook his head. What was he even thinking? Of course, she was fine!

He closed the door behind her and walked in.

“You must be hungry. Or have you already eaten?” Nora could smell the fresh soup simmering and coffee.

“I am famished.” She walked to the kitchen. “I did not know that you can cook.”

“I do not know much.” He followed her to the kitchen but she stopped him.

“Go change your clothes. The meal is almost done. I will set the table while you change.” Alric was wearing the suit from yesterday. Due to an urgent meeting and shooting. He did not get the time to take a bath.

Nodding, he went to take a quick bath. He did not even pause to dry his hair. When he returned, Nora had set the table.

She had poured soup and cut a salad.

“There is dessert in the fridge too.” he sat beside her. It felt strange to eat in his own house with someone.

“Hmm! How was your meeting? ” Nora took a bite and looked at her warmly. For a second, his heart stopped.

It felt so strange, so warm and so comforting. He could not help but stare at her again. This is such a mundane thing. Yet, Alric had neve realized he had craved it. To dine with his family in his own house.

“The meeting was..” how much time had passed. Alric ate every bite slowly as if he did not want this moment to pass.

When it had been long since she had finished and had checked the phone many times, Alric reluctantly stopped eating.

“I will wash the dishes since you have cooked. Go on and rest.” she offered with a smile. Alric nodded readily. But he did not leave.

He arranged the groceries she had brought as he accompanied her in the kitchen. Nora shook her head with a helpless smile.

“A billionaire with so many properties in your name. Yet here you are.. Arranging your own groceries! Why do you not have maids? ” There were a dozen maids in her uncle’s house.

“I do not like someone trespassing. But now that you are here, you can hire house help. You can hire anyone. After all, this is your house.” Nora paused for a second. The bowl was about to fall when she held it tightly.

Her house! The phrase was alien to her ears. “Leech! You are living in our house and still dare to argue with us.” She had heard this phrase from Penny all her life.

“You are living in my house with my wife. So you must follow my bidding.” was something Benard used to tell her with a cold glare.

Has anyone ever told her that things belong to them? Nora shook that thought away. It must be a formality.

“I have never known that you are such a smooth talker.” she laughed. “And here the world says that you are cold and unapproachable.” She wiped her hands after washing all the dishes and turned to look at him.

Alric was still filling the empty shelf with the groceries. He had a pinch of flour dusted on his cheeks. Nora’s eyes softened, she was smiling looking at him.

“Come help me if you are done there. You have brought a lot!” Nora giggled before walking closer, making him raise a brow.

“What is it?” Nora smiled, shaking her head and then showed him his face in her mobile camera.

Alric’s eyes flickered. A normal person would go and clean his face. But he picked up the flour and rubbed it on her cheeks.

“There, now you can laugh more.”
