Chapter 90_ Lurking danger 1
Amelia’s legs arched from walking for quite sometime now. She turned towards Liam who wasn’t paying attention to her little body language.
“Did I do something wrong again?”
“My feet are arching from walking why don’t you do something”
Liam released a sigh, earlier he had suggested that they explore the town with their car but she blatantly refused saying she wants to feel the nature and here she was complaining.
Liam squat in front of her and urged her to hop on his back. “You can enjoy a free piggy ride from Liam Grayson”
Amelia jumped on his back without wasting any more time. “Can I ask a question?”
Liam rose back to his feet after he made sure she was comfortable.
“Ask me anything”
“Who taught you how to be so romantic? the Liam Grayson that I knew months back doesn’t even know how to compliment a lady”
“What can I say? you can find everything on the internet nowadays”
Amelia chuckled at the thoughts of Liam searching the internet on how to please a woman, his face must be really funny then.
“There’s no need to laugh, I also saw one of your searches on Google on how to be nice to an arrogant man”
Amelia bit his ear slightly “Mr Arrogant don’t you know that it’s very rude to go through a lady’s phone without her permission?”
“If I keep listing the number of times you’ve gone against me without seeking for my permission we. might be awake all night!”
As the couple walked down the cobblestone streets of the town, the sun was setting, casting a warm, golden glow on everything around them.
They passed by charming shops and cafes, with the smell of freshly baked bread wafting through the air.
Amelia inhaled the air greedily “Wow Liam let’s try that!” she exclaimed pulling him to the stall to get some bread.
“Hello” she waved at the lady who runs the bread stall.
“Can we have that” Amelia said pointing at the upper shelf where the freshly baked bread were aligned.
The lady handed Amelia the bread of her choice, she tore the wrapper munching on the bread, she released a little moan as she savoured the bread.
“I won’t give you a crumb even if you fall on your kneels” Amelia said while Liam shrugged, he simply held her face after she took a bite out of the bread.
“What…
Liam lowered his face to hers and took a bite out of the bread hanging on her lips. “I don’t ask or beg, I take! you should have known that by now”
The shopkeeper marvelled at the sight before her, she could tell that they were new couples.
A group of college students who were passing at that time took a quick photo of the two.
“Learn from him and be a little bit romantic!” a blonde girl among them said facing a boy next to her.
Liam winked at her, she was still puzzled, Liam has been surprising her lately with his cheesiness that she now felt like a novice.
“You are getting more shameless by the minutes Liam aren’t you worried about our identity being exposed?”
“I would rather be in a scandal with you forever, sooner or later everyone will find out who my real wife is”
Amelia smiled exposing her perfect set of white teeth. Her cheeks might burn before she reaches home today.
“Do you accept cards?” Liam asked the shopkeeper.
Amelia rolled her eyes but she couldn’t blame him though, what on earth does he know other than swiping cards on counters?
“Liam this isn’t one of those fancy restaurants where you pay with cards, good thing I brought my purse”
She took out a few bills and handed it over to the lady. “Please keep the change”

Liam and Amelia walked hand in hand, enjoying the peacefulness of the evening.
The air was cool and crisp, and they could hear the faint sound of music playing in the distance.
As they strolled, they felt a sense of contentment and happiness, savoring the simple pleasure of being together.
Amelia wished this day wouldn’t end, she smiled at Liam who was walking towards her with a cone of ice cream.
“Wow Liam how did you know my favorite flavors? and that too my toppings?”
She asked when he got near to her, Liam tapped his chin as If in deep thought. “I noticed you love the color pink so I applied that sense to your food choices”
Amelia took a lick out of her ice cream “Hmm you are really smart I must confess, and I like you”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
As the sun sets, the couple decided to visit a small cafe for a light dinner.
They sat at a table on the patio, with fairy lights twinkling overhead. They ordered simple, delicious food – a salad, some fresh bread, and a glass of wine.
As they ate, they talked and laughed, enjoying the simple pleasures of life.
They felt a sense of gratitude for the little moments, and for each other’s company
As the evening winds down, they took a leisurely walk back to their house, hand in hand. The stars were shining brightly in the sky, and the air was cool and fresh.
Liam noticed how tired she was after today’s activities, he picked her up in his arms since the walk to their house wasn’t far from them.
“When next we are going to the town we will use the car, I feel like you’ve put in so much weight”
Amelia smiled and rested her head against his chest. “Thanks for making this day wonderful, I love you”
“I love you too”

Chloe held the tissue box while Louisa took out of it wiping her tears. “You’ve cried enough Lou, I don’t even find him that good looking like Dylan”
Louisa raised her head to look at the little girl in front of her. “If you like Dylan so much why don’t you let him be your dad or you can as well get married to him”
Chloe placed the box of tissue on the table and pouted her lips. “Maybe you don’t notice but it’s dinner time now I’m starving”
Louisa sniffed back her tears, how could she make this little girl understand that Dylan’s parents sees her as their grand child and they’ve planned to get she and Dylan married as soon as possible.
The doorbell rang before it was pushed open, Dylan came in panting slightly. “Lou, I’m sorry I couldn’t make it earlier, I had a very tight schedule today at the office plus you weren’t there to assist me”
Louisa stood up immediately she saw him, she held his collar shaking him slightly.
“Your parents fixed our engagement and you didn’t say anything about it there and it hasn’t even been up to ten hours already your mum posted the news on her Instagram handle as if that was not enough Jake broke up with me because of you!”
Dylan’s lips turned into a broad smile as he heard about the break up, he has been waiting for ages for that looser to call it quits with Louisa and now it finally happened.
“Really?”
