But in the end, a boss was still a boss. At least in terms of physical strength, Freya could be flattened in seconds. She had every intention of not letting him help, yet before she could even react, Louis had already taken two of the bags from her with effortless case. Then he strode off ahead, leaving Freya hurrying to catch up behind him.
Even holding two of the most common clear plastic grocery bags couldn’t dull Louis‘ air of elegance. The pressure from the bags left two faint red marks on his slender, refined fingers, but it didn’t diminish their beauty in the slightest.
Freya looked down at her own equally slender fingers and sighed softly. Same species, but I can never see myself as particularly elegant or refined. That was probably the result of upbringing. Even if she was technically more beautiful than in her last life, she just didn’t exude that innate sense of grace.
“Why aren’t you walking?” Louis had taken a few steps when he realized the person behind him hadn’t caught up. He stopped and turned his head slightly.
“Coming! I saw some nice tomatoes over there. Thought I’d make pork ribs.” Freya quickly caught up and pointed at the tomatoes she’d had her eye on. “Or maybe tomato soup–that’d be nice too.”
“Then go get them.” Louis actually liked sour flavors, though not vinegar. Over the past few days, he’d noticed that the meals at home had become more and more suited to his taste. While not exactly gourmet, there was a warmth and personal touch no restaurant could replicate. He figured Freya must’ve paid attention to his preferences and adjusted accordingly. She seemed to enjoy the food too.
They ended up buying a lot more ingredients, along with a good amount of must–have snacks. Only then did Louis head off to get the paper he’d come for. Freya followed him to the shelf, but when she saw him just standing there and not making a move, she asked, “Weren’t you going to get paper?”
Louis raised his hands–both of them were full of bags. Freya quickly reached out to take some, but Louis dodged her and said, “You grab a pack of A4.”
“Oh, okay.” Freya pointed at one with a green cover. “How about this one?”
“Any of them’s fine.” The differences between A4 paper didn’t matter much to Louis, so he didn’t really care.
Once they had the paper, they went to check out. Just as Louis reached for his wallet, Freya had already handed over a shopping card.
“This is the store card. Also, could you check how many points are on it? If there’s enough to redeem a gift, go ahead and do that too.”
Louis could only pull his hand back from his pocket. Being beaten to the register by a woman was definitely a first for him.
But that wasn’t the end of it. A familiar voice suddenly cut in from the side.
“Oh! Young lady, we meet again. And this must be your husband? My, he’s so handsome!”
Freya handed over the card and turned her head–sure enough, it was the same auntie from earlier. The woman’s eyes lit up the moment she saw Louis, and she didn’t stop talking for a second.
“Oh wow, I’ve never seen such a handsome young man! Better–looking than any movie star, I swear. No wonder you didn’t want a divorce. That guy who showed up bothering you earlier–he’s not even in the same league! Not only was he worse looking, his whole vibe was way off. I can’t believe he had the nerve to come after you. But your husband here? He just
screams success!”
Freya sucked in a breath, heart instantly leaping into her throat. Getting harassed by an ex was humiliating enough–but now it’s being brought up right in front of Louis? And rubbed in, no less? This is a disaster!
