A Naive Bride for the Sophisticated CEO novel Chapter 75

“I think we have gotten all the things we need.” Fred said, holding hands with Amelia in the shopping mall.

“Don’t you think we should get a Walker for Alice? I can’t keep carrying her around. She is growing weighty day by day.” Amelia grumbled.

Fred chuckled and bounced his head. “That’s true. Let’s go and get it then.”

“But can I at least use my card? You have been paying the bills since we got here, and you have spent a lot already.”

Feed looked at her and let out a soft smile. “You’re worrying about me?” He asked.

“Of course, I am worried about you. Why doesn’t it seem like a surprise to you?”

“It’s happening so fast, Amelia. I thought I’d have to pressure you so much before you’d say yes to me. But it seems pretty easy.”

Amelia clenched her jaw and looked away. “Are you trying to say I’m easy?” She asked, feeling offended by his words.

“Oh no! That’s not what I meant.”

Amelia broke into laughter and shook her head. “Calm down, Fred. I was just teasing you, okay? Let’s get the Walker so that we can go back to the house as soon as possible.”

They got to where the Walker was being displayed and began to contemplate on which one to choose.

Amelia looked around them and tried to find anything that could help James find her if she finally got in touch with him.

The people around didn’t seem to recognize her, even though she was quite popular in Alabama. She needed someone she could tell about her problems.

‘Everyone here is minding his business. I need to know how to get to James as soon as possible.’ Amelia thought.

“Amelia, look at this? This is pretty! Blue, just like her eyes!” Fred said to her excitedly.

She looked at the Walker and nodded. “This is perfect. Let’s put her in it.”

Fred moved closer to her and placed the Walker in front of her. She carefully placed Alice in it and adjusted the belt to hold her to the chair firmly.

“I love it.” She uttered, and Fred giggled.

“We’re getting it. What else do you want? You can ask me for anything.”

“Errrm… I… I need to use the restroom.” She muttered.

After hearing her request, Fred felt uncomfortable. He wasn’t sure letting her go to the restroom alone was a good idea. He was yet to trust her completely.

After Amelia watched his countenance for some time, she sighed and threw her hands in the air.

“It’s fine. I’ll do it when we get home. Let’s go.” She uttered with a frown.

“No, that’s not it!”

“Then what is it, Fred? When are you going to ever trust me? I’m going to the restroom. Alice would be with you because I can’t take her there. Would I think of running away without my daughter? I trust you and that’s why I’m doing all these with you.” She uttered angrily.

“I’m sorry, okay? I’m sorry. I promise to trust you from now on. You can use the restroom, I’ll be with Alice here. Please don’t run away.”

A smile crept up Amelia’s face and she nodded. “I’ll be back in a few minutes. Take good care of our baby girl.”

Amelia turned to leave and as she left, she didn’t look back for once. She headed right for the bathroom.

‘I need to get in touch with James. But how do I do this? I don’t know his phone number offhand. He doesn’t accept unknown line IDs on time. I don’t have so much time on my side! What do I do?’

She reminisced as she sighted the bathroom in front of her. She got into the bathroom and shut the door behind her. She rested her back on the door and hit the back of her head on it slowly.

‘He doesn’t trust me at all. What if he has a tracking device on me? I can’t do anything stupid now.’

She heaved a loud sigh and before she could open her eyes, she heard a door close. She opened her eyes and saw a very familiar elderly woman step out of one of the toilets.

She let out a fake grin and walked to the basins. The woman looked at her and also smiled as she walked to the basins too.

She furrowed her brows as she stared at this elderly woman. ‘This isn’t possible. I must be hallucinating or something! Gosh, I’m so stressed.’ She thought, looking at the mirror.

“Are you okay, miss?” The woman asked, and Amelia nodded.

“Yes, I’m fine, thank you.” She answered, opening the tap. She took some water in her palm and rinsed her face aggressively. She looked at this woman again and creased her brows.

“Are you sure? You don’t look so good.”

The woman placed her hand on her shoulder, and Amelia jolted and moved back.

“Who are you?” She mumbled, still walking back.

“I’m lost. I’m just concerned about you, that’s all. I’m not going to harm you, okay?”

“You are supposed to be dead!” Amelia screamed as tears streamed down her eyes uncontrollably.

“Dead? Hey, child. Are you alright? I don’t know what you are talking about. Please calm down.”

“Tell me your name!” Amelia yelled.
