chapter 102

At the biggest store in their area, Lucy said, "Ta-dah! Boss, let's take the trolley and head inside."Eric curiously surveyed his surroundings as he took a look at the other customers.He noticed that most of them were housewives who had brought their children along with them for shopping. But even more than them, he easily distinguished the couples that came together.Some of them were at the bill counter with the husband paying the bill, or some were shopping where the husbands were forced to hold the pile of bags upon bags by their cruel wives (according to them).Couples.Eric's eyes glinted and shone as he thought of the couples around him. He eyed Lucy and him and realization dawned upon him.There were a lot of couples here and so were they here too.Eric asked her, brimming with curiosity, "Is this a ritual?"Lucy, who was busy choosing the trolley with her favorite color, looked back at him questioningly. "Ritual?"He nodded. "There are many couples around. Do they usually shop together like this?""Oh yes! This area has many married and working couples living here. So the store is usually filled with them."Eric's expression brightened though to others, he still seemed the same with nothing but a blank face.Lucy mumbled to herself. "Hehe Boss. One day we will come here as a couple too and throw dog food on everybody."She had no idea that what she dreamt of the far future was something that Eric was already imagining as reality.Lucy hoped that one day would come for sure when she would be his girlfriend.I will definitely make him fall for my charm~But unknown to her, Eric already took leaps and bounds ahead, thinking that they were a couple.So Lucy brought me here because I am her man. Couples shop together. That's why we are together.He beamed.Eric liked it. He liked that feeling a lot. His gaze warmed up as he dotingly focused on her. For him, he felt as if Lucy was already exercising her right as his woman that pleased his heart.But then he frowned. He had never shopped before, so he didn't know the rules.Eric opened Google and typed.'Things to do while shopping as a couple.'He got several results and he read them one by one. He nodded at every one of them. He also realized that this was what people called a date, specifically a shopping date.Imaginary flowers bloomed around him.We are on a shopping date...A date with Lucy…Luct was finally done choosing her trolley."Let's take this one. It has a violet handle. I like violet a lot."Eric mentally made a note of it.Lucy's favorite color is violet."Sorry Boss I took so long just for a trolley…"His black orbs softened and he gently patted her. "You can take as much time as you want."The other wives envied her. They harshly elbowed their husbands as they glared at them."Look at him! He is so doting and loving towards her.""He didn't mind at all that she took so long. And you start complaining just after five minutes!""Learn something from him!""He is so handsome and dashing! And look at your fashion sense."The poor husbands could only curse him as they were ruthlessly compared to Eric. The wives didn't hold back at all.
