Return Of The Heiress For Revenge - Chapter 436

Chapter 436: Which Style Do You Like?
“….. Nora!” Alex groaned.

“What? Do not tell me you want to act cold and strong until I cry and only then will you help me.” she sniffled, already making him frown.

“I…”

“Come on, Alex. I will help you with things keeping you busy and you will help me with the preparations. Since I do not have parents, I need to prepare myself. Would you not be part of my family?” her voice softened at last and she sighed. He knew she was acting! He now knew that she acted most of the time. But for some reason, she stared at the ceiling, she looked all alone in the vast world.

And why should he care! What did it have to do with him? She had Alric to protect her now. She had… he sighed. He could not see that face anymore. It looked like she was going to cry any moment.

“Fine! I will do it but as your family.” he glared at her for blackmailing him again. Nora looked at him biting her lips. He meant that he would not attend their engagement as Alric’s brother but as her family.

“Alex!” Ava chided but Nora nodded.

“Yes, thank you for being my family.” Nora accepted before Java could refuse. Ava frowned at Nora but the girl seemed confident with her decision.

“Fine! Do what you all want. I am getting old anyways. I will just relax in the spa you mentioned.” she sighed and started eating again. Alric stayed silent too, looking lost in his thoughts.

Only Nora forced Alex in the conversation. The boy was brooding but for some reason, he could not ignore Nora and replied to her every remark.

The odd dinner ended just like that.

“I will inform you as soon as I book the spa.” Nora hugged Ava as she stood up to go. Ava sighed. They were just teasing Alric. But for some reason, the decision was made and now they were really having a spa date. Perhaps, she should let go of her worries for a few days.

“I always wanted to have a daughter to have these kinds of dates. I will wait for the fun then.” She hugged Nora back. Alex stood at the side kicking the invisible stones at the door.

Nora smiled at him and hugged him.

“Thank you for handling my tantrums. Alric is bad at it.” she beamed at him only for him to look away and pushed her away.

Alric held her by her wrist when was pushed. Ava sighed and held Alex’s hand. They both left the house in silence.

“So I do not bear your tantrums?” he whispered in her ears leaving a shiver down her spine. “And I do not care about you? I don’t even want to disclose about our relationship.” the man spoke in a soft whisper. It sounded more like a confession than a complaint but Nora’s face flushed for some reason.

She covered his hands holding her waist and wriggled.

“That.. I was only teasing you. Haha.” The man laughed with her but it only raced her heart for a completely different reason.

“Is that so?” he leaned further. His chin was touching her shoulders now but all she felt was panic.

“Yes. of course, I was only creating a bond with Ava.” she explained making him chuckle. The dark laughter echoed in the silent hall.

“At my expense!” he added only for her to gulp. Before she could think of an excuse. He pulled her up and her feet left the firm and secured the floor.

“Alric, I swear that I meant no harm.” she spoke in haste but he only laughed like her.

“Hmm, I meant no harm too, Nora. you are going to be my wife.” Why did it sound like a threat now? Nora wanted to protest. As he carried her inside, she noticed the table full of dishes.

“Wait! I need to clean the table. And wash the dishes or there would be germs. Who knew there might be cockroaches in the morning.” she wrigged in his arms. He paused and looked at the empty dishes too.

The servant was gone. If they did not clean it.. Nora was sure she had escaped this calamity. Her shoulders slumped and she smiled. Just when she thought, he would let her go. He started walking again. This time, he pulled her on his shoulders like a sack of potatoes.

Her feet dangled in the air and she struggled hard. But his grip on her waist was strong. She could not push him away.

“Alric! The germs..” she started again but froze in the mid air when he smacked her bottoms. Her ass did not get hurt but it only tingled with the impact. A gush of warmth flew to the pit of her stomach and reached between her legs.

“I will call the pest service then.” he whispered softly as he rubbed her butt where he had just smacked. The warmth of his hand made her dizzy and lightheaded. Why did he need to call pest service? The words did not sink in her mind and she even forgot to struggle for a second.

As they reached his room, he walked to his bed and pushed her on the mattress. Nora sat up hurriedly. She did not dare to touch her butt. It felt like it was still burning from his touch earlier.

“Alric..”

“You have told me that I can have you when you are an adult. Nora, congratulations on your eighteenth birthday.” he smiled sweetly as if he had confessed her love to her again. But Nora did not feel the flush of love. She did not feel shy by his words but her heart reached her throat. She was going to faint any moment.

“Do you have any style you like?” he titled his head and pulled the tie from his neck.

“….style?” Did he mean dressing up? But was he not planning to undress them?

“Hmm, I have a few in my mind that I want to try on you.”
