Chapter 47
âGrandpa, hold on, I donât need all of that! Thatâs too much!â Elisa exclaimed.
John chose many accessories, from earrings and rings, but Elisa didnât like buying them all.
âWhy not? If youâre scared Iâll spend too much, then worry less, replied John. He waved his hand and was about to choose another set of accessories. Still, Elisa halted him again and made him curious.
âI know, but I meant that can I choose for myself instead?â Elisa stared at Johnâs eyes. âEven if you loved choosing it all, I donât want it. I want something else.â
âIf you want to choose on your own, then you are free to select,â said John, who pointed at the tray full of accessories the attendant showed.
Elisa sighed in relief. She thought of something that wouldnât be available in the store, so John would urge her not to buy anything for her.
âI want gold
gold bars, not those fancy rings and earrings, even diamonds, Elisa reasoned.
âOh, we have that here. One moment, Iâll bring it for you to see,â said the shop assistant, who then left.
Elisa was stunned. She was kidding and didnât expect she would buy some gold bars now. Since she said it. then she couldnât take it back.
âWhy do you like gold bars? Out of the blue, John asked and was puzzled. âAre you just trying to say it as you donât want me to buy you?â
Elisa waved her hand and explained, âItâs not like that. I just really wanted to have gold bars. It is okay if you donât want to buy me Grandpa,â
âI will buy it for you, dear. Worry less, replied John.
Later, the two shop assistants went to their seats with two trays of gold bars.
Upon seeing it, Elisaâs eyes widened in astonishment. It was her very first time seeing gold bars that close.
âSince my granddaughter wants gold bars, I want to buy those two.trays,â said John.
âGrandpa, butâ¦â
âOh, donât worry. Anything you like, I can give it to you,â John reasoned. âBesides, itâs just like Robert buys it for you as a gift, and itâs his card we will use again to buy it.â
That made Elisa blink twice, and she almost had no face for Robert. She anticipated Robert would be furious and assured he would think she was forcing John to buy her a lot.
Seeing John hand Robertâs card to the shop assistant, Elisa returned to her senses. Yet when she heard the shop assistant mention that it was worth hundreds of thousands, she almost collapsed in her seat.
âI hope Robert wonât argue with me, she thought and crossed her fingers.
âElisa,â John called. âI see that you are somewhat worried. As I always told you, you do not need to be scared. Robert will understand. You are the wife.â

A lot lingered in Elisaâs mind, but she had no choice but to nod.
âLetâs go. Weâll go home after they wrapped it all,â said John.
âYou didnât want to buy some clothes and accessories for you? Elisa wondered.

âI wonât. Thatâs why I invited you to accompany me to buy you all you want, not what I want,â John explained.
Elisa didnât argue further. The shop assistant handed John the card and Elisa the paper bag with gold bars.
As soon as and John left the shop.
they were done, Eli
While walking, Elisa noticed that peopleâs eyes darted at them as soon as they walked past them. Suddenly, she realized what those stares meant.
âDid they all misunderstand us? she wondered.
However, Elisaâs
thadi
diverted to the familiarâman on the side who was heading towards
them. Her eyes widened as she stared at the man, and she paused from walking-
On her side, John also wondered. He looked at Elisa with his brows furrowed.
âWhatâs wrong?â He wondered. âDo you still forget something?â
âNah, itâs not like that,â she replied.
Before asking further, he glanced at the man and a woman walking towards them. Both were familiar to his eyes, so he smirked, wanting to know what would happen next.
Meanwhile, Yan and Olivia looked at both of them in wonder. Yan was aware that the day he saw Elisa with that old man, she reasoned the two didnât know each other, but at that time, he was confused as to why the two suddenly went shopping, just the two of them. He knew something was wrong.
âItâs shocking to see youâre with Grandpa shopping. I know heâs not your relative. Is he your lover? Why would you introduce him to us?â Olivia said, mocking both of them.
John was already furious deep inside him but didnât want to interfere. He shut his mouth and wanted Elisa to handle this on her own.
âYou sound too concerned with me, but no, I wonât introduce him to you both,â said Elisa. She was about to walk past them, but Olivia stood in front.
âWe are worried about you, Elisa. We are a family, and even Yan is worried about your safety with this grandpa,â Olivia said.
Elisa smirked. It was a fake concern; she knew Olivia planned to do something else.
âItâs the very first time youâve been concerned about me, but I can assure you I am fine. Do I look like Iâm not?â Elisa replied sarcastically. It seems like you have a problem. Hmm, anyway, weâll leave first. If you are both here to shop, then go. No one will stop you
Elisa held Johnâs arms and turned around to walk in another direction. However, Yan ran and stood before! them, stopping them from walking away.

âI know what is scattered around the internet is not true. I also tell my parents that you are innocent of all those accusations,â Yan said. âTell me, whatâs going on? You can always tell me all your problemsâ
Shaking her head, Elisa didnât know what the problem was with them. It was crystal clear that the two were just like other people, judging them and believing they were a couple.
âYan, remember we have nothing to do with each other. Thanks for your concern, but no, I am not facing any problems. If I do, I wonât even ask you to help,â Elisa explained.
âYou just said that?! Elisa, heâs concerned with you!â Olivia exclaimed.
âConcern for what?! Do I look like I am having a problem?!â Elisa asked back. âYouâre the one who is making the problem!â
âWhat are you saying?! We are concerned with you! You donât know this old man much!â Olivia still tried
to reason.
Elisa clenched her fist. She couldnât hold it anymore, so she approached Olivia closer and slapped her hard in the face.
âYou donât know anything, so shut your damn mouth!â
