Chapter 542: Chocolate Caramel

After telling her grandfather about the matter with the councilman, Gabi enjoyed a few relaxing days, where she solely focused on her exercise and training. She used to be so weak that she couldn't even run for five hundred meters without panting. However, now, she could run for a total of five kilometers without stopping! To some people, this is a very small accomplishment, but to her, this is already very special.

She is really proud, ah!

"Fifty-five kilograms." Gabi beamed. After waking up, she was only about forty-eight kilograms. However, she gained some muscles this time. She already felt healthier and more energetic!

After a quick shower, Gabi changed into comfortable clothing and checked the market. So far, all of her investments were doing pretty good. She targeted blue chips, so the increase isn't instantaneous.

In the past few days, her routine has been like this. Gabi thought strengthening herself was on top of her priority. After all, she couldn't really do anything if she faints after a few steps.

"Miss, here is the information about the prosecutors and the law graduates this year. We are still looking into the information about the current attorney general."

"Thank you." Today, Gabi decided not to do anything. She would not check her emails or read some reports. She is going to spend the day all by herself.

It was because today was her son's birthday.

September thirty.

A smile was on Gabi's face when she went to her room and chose a dress that her son would surely love. It was a white dress, just like the snow. It was just like Luca's white hair.

Gabi decided to buy some flowers and maybe some of the candy bars that Luca used to love. It was just some local candies that are manufactured by some company in Isonburg City, the City where the Capital House or the House of the Minister and House of the Royals was located.

"Please give me a pack of the chocolate caramel ones, thank you." Gab hugged herself a little tighter. The breeze is getting colder and colder everyday. [Mommy, do you want some candies?] Her son's voice seemed to echo inside her head when she accepted the pack of candies from the vendor.

"I didn't know you like candies."

"Hm?" Gabi turned towards the source of the voice. "Aden?" Surprise flashed in her face. "What are you doing here?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm buying candies. Did you think I'm here to buy guns?" Aden said before turning to the old man selling candies. "Just like the usual."

"You know this man?"

"I've been buying candies since I was a teenager. Keeps me awake."

"Oh. You like Choco caramel too?" she asked when she saw the man gave him three packs of chocolate caramel candies.

"Yeah, the sweeter the better."

"Oh." Gabi lowered her gaze as she stared at the candy in her hands. Luca used to say that, too. Her love loved candies, the sweeter the better. He especially liked this brand.

"Did you just come here to buy these candies?" Aden looked at her. "You looked too polished for this neighborhood."

"Ah?"

"Your dress… it's out of place."

"Oh. Sorry about that."

"You… are you sick?"

"Huh?"

"You are in a daze."

"Oh. I'm just thinking about the weather."

"Weird woman."

Gabi frowned but said nothing. She just held the candy on her chest, as if hugging it as she started walking away from him.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Just walking around."

"In this dress?"

"Yes, is there something wrong?"

"Hey, why do you sound so decile?"

Gabi stopped walking. She turned towards him. "I am… not in the mood to argue."

"Oh. Then… do you want me to accompany you? I happen to be free today."

Gabi looked at him. He was wearing a casual blue shirt and white shorts. "You just arrived?"

"Yeah, an hour ago. I rushed here to get candies."

"Oh."

"If you keep on walking like that… people are going to target you soon. You look like a helpless little girl."

Again, she didn't say anything. In the previous life, she only came here once to buy candies but she didn't really get out of the car and just told the maid what to buy. This was her first time walking around in this area.

"I will come with you."

"Do what you want," she said. Obviously, she isn't going to ruin her day by arguing with this annoying man.

"Ah, are you familiar with this place? If you want… I can tour you around."

"You are acting nice. It's making me suspicious."

"Hehe… I'm just bored."

"Then go home and sleep."

"I just woke up," Aden said as he opened one candy. "You want one?"

"No. I don't eat candies."

"Really? Then…"

"It's for someone."

"Oh."

For a few seconds, silence descended between them. "Let's go. I will take you somewhere," Aden said.

"Where?"

"A nice place. Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you. I still have standards, alright."

"…" This man… If today is not a special day, she would have kicked this man's shin already! "Alright then."

"Hmmm. Do you have a car?"

"No."

"Then… let's take my car."

"Alright."

Soon, the two of them arrived in a parking lot. He led her towards an ash-colored Maybach. Gabi maintained her silence until they finally left the area. "This is towards the mountains?" she asked.

"Yeah. It's fall. You should see the trees."

"Oh."

"You were born here, but you haven't actually visited the trees, right?"

"Right." She just stayed at home and studied. Even in her past life, Gabi didn't visit any of the tourist spots of this country.

"What a boring life," he scoffed. "How come you looked really down. Did something happen lately?"

"Na, I'm fine."

This time, Aden didn't say anything anymore. He just drove until they finally reached an area that she didn't know existed before.
