“Are you sure it would be okay? This could be detrimental to your status.” Brian didn’t know how to respond to that coupon. It was a Couple of Coupons for god sake. And, you have to act like a couple to the point where they could even send you to change clothes in a single changing room.
It doesn’t matter much to him but he didn’t want to trouble Charlotte.
“Of course, it is okay. Otherwise, why would I bring it to you? And, don’t worry about my status. I am already twenty-five with no boyfriend. My peers are already engaged.” Slowly, Charlotte turned shy and continued “This could help me a little.”
“NO!”
Before Brian could say anything, Elenor roared. Her immense rage burst out in the form of her aura. It was so strong that it slammed Charlotte to her knees but only then, did Elenor realize she didn’t control her aura.
She freaked out for a moment but then, she got confused. Brian was just standing there as if nothing happened to him, looking at her with an angry expression.
“What is the meaning of this, Ely?”
He knew Ely was a spoiled brat. After all, she was living in an aristocratic family but he didn’t expect her to be so rude and press Charlotte on her knees. At this moment, he was truly angry at her.
Seeing those angry eyes, Elenor bursts into tears and apologized.
“I’m sorry, father.”
If his anger was her spot point, then her tears were his spot point. He couldn’t see the tears in those eyes. But, he knew he can’t simply ignore what she has just done. He puts her down which made her cry even more and walked up to Charlotte.
“Are you alright?”
Ba-dump!
When he crouched down on his knee and asked with a smile on his face, her heartbeat skipped. It beat so loud that even Brian could hear it.
“Are you alright? Is everything okay?” Hearing that sound from her heart, a trace of panic appeared in his eyes. He hurriedly asked with tension in his mind.
“I’m fine. That was nothing. I am a werewolf, remember?” Seeing those eyes filled with panic, Charlotte instantly stood up and even though she was bleeding a little from her knees, she completely ignored it.
“No, you are not fine. You are bleeding here.” Although she ignored it, Brian simply couldn’t ignore it. As soon as he found the bleeding, he panicked a little.
“Don’t sweat it! It will be healed in a few seconds. Look, it’s already healed. You are still underestimating me. I am a Rank Fourth Ranker. This kind of wound is nothing to me.” Charlotte felt guilty seeing him in panic.
She cursed her own wound, hoping that her regeneration ability will heal her quickly. She poured all of her willpower and healed her wound in just a few seconds. Only after seeing her wound healed, did Brian calm down.
He still needs her support. After all, if he wants to focus on New Gods, he must ask her to take care of Elenor. That’s why he wanted to turn the good relationship between them into a great one.
“Thank God! I was worried. My daughter seems to be spoiled a lot. I apologize for her.” Brian bowed his head slightly as he apologized while Elenor clenched her fist. She had already stopped crying. She didn’t expect to put him through so much trouble.
“Daddy, I’m sorry. I promise I will not do it again. Please forgive me!” Elenor felt guilt for making his bow. She immediately run near him, pulled his pants, and apologized.
“Please don’t apologize. As I said, she is just a child. She doesn’t know many things. And, she is not at fault. After all, children are innocent. It depends on whom she grew up with. If she had grown up with you or me, she wouldn’t be this spoiled.”
“So, no need to blame yourself. If you blame yourself, I will feel guilty as well. Anyway, we have to go, don’t we? We will be late otherwise.” Charlotte immediately raised his head and shook her head while explaining. She puts all of the blame on Elenor’s mother.
Brian sighed. Although he didn’t want Ely’s mother to feel guilty, he still thinks this is her fault. After all, Charlotte is right. Children are innocent. He turned his head down and said “From now on, you will never ever hurt anyone with your powers unless they want to hurt you, promise me!”
“If you break your promise, I will never talk to you.”
Hearing his words, Elenor clenched his small fists. Few drops of tears appeared in her big eyes. Finally, she nodded her head.
“Alright! As for your punishment, I will not hold you in my arms. Rather, you will hold my and Charlotte’s hand while we go the shopping.” Brian sighed after seeing her nod. He puts his hand on her hand and held it.
On another side, Charlotte wasn’t sure to hold her hand. So, Brian took a step forward and said “Aren’t you going to hold Sister Charlotte’s hand?”
Hearing her father’s command, she had no choice but to hold her hands. Charlotte also smiled and held her tight. After that, they finally left for the mall. It was only twenty minutes journey on the train. But, three different kinds of emotions were bursting out of the single group during the entire journey.
Charlotte was giggling, laughing, and had smiled all the time. Brian had an awkward expression throughout the journey. And, Elenor was trembling with anger because every person who saw them walking called them the Perfect Couple.
Soon, they reached the mall. It was quite big and they had to find a specific shop because they couldn’t get the benefits of Couple Coupon in any other shop. Brian was anxious since he didn’t know whether to call Charlotte his wife or not.
And, he was afraid that Elenor will call her Sister Charlotte as well. But, as soon as they reached the receptionist, they were greeted with a kind smile.
“Hello Sir, Madam! Hello there, little girl!” The receptionist was a girl who was quite enthusiastic and also lovely.
“Hello there! We are here for our daughter’s dress. Can you show us some dresses that would suit our daughter?” Just as they planned on the train, Charlotte took a step forward and started the conversation.
“Oh yes, please! Would you like to leave her in our hands? You two can shop for yourself while we will select the dress your daughter likes.” The receptionist smiled and asked.
“Ahh! No, please! We would like to pick a dress for our daughter. If you don’t mind, can you show us the way where children’s clothes are kept?” Brian intercepted with a rejection which made the receptionist a little sad but she quickly resumed her smile and showed them the way.
After that, they started selecting dresses for Elenor. It wasn’t hard since almost every dress looked cool on her. From vest, skirt, frock, sweat jacket, sweater, hoodies, crochet, every dress looked just better on her.
But, at this end, she liked a black frock with white socks. It looked amazing on her. But, Brian didn’t approve of it. It looked more like a maid dress. And, he went against this idea. But, Elenor just didn’t quit until she got this as well.
Finally, they went to select some dresses for Charlotte. Just like Elenor, she was also great in every dress. Whether it was jeans, tight pants, skirts, frocks, or even maid dress. Brian didn’t understand why she chose Maid Dress.
But, it looked amazing on her. He couldn’t put his eyes away when she wore that. For Charlotte, he couldn’t force anything so, he kept his mouth shut. Finally, he also got himself a few clothes. This time he tried some other clothes as well.
From Green Track pants to a yellow full-sleeved t-shirt, full navy blue formal pants and coat, white shirt, and black pants, he tried a lot of dresses as well. Finally, they moved out with dozens of bags full of clothes.
?(O)??? At this moment, Brian had no choice but to put Ely on his shoulder. The receptionists and others didn’t even try to confirm their relationship. They just gave them a discount fully trusting their relationship. This trust was so great that Brian started feeling guilty.
After they left the mall and returned back to their apartment building, Brian couldn’t help but mutter “I feel bad for lying to others.”
“I don’t think so.” Charlotte shook her head and her face turned red.
“Seeing us together, talking and laughing put a smile on the many people’s faces. Even though it was fake, it meant that we would be perfect together.”
When she said that, Elenor widened her eyes but this time, her pressure didn’t come out. But, she glared so hard that if gaze could kill, Charlotte would’ve died many times.
Brian hesitated for a moment. He poured a lot of courage into his heart and asked “Charlotte, you work from home, right?”
“Yes,” Charlotte nodded her head and felt like Brian wanted to ask something. But, Brian was twitching a lot. He was hesitating a lot. He rubbed his fist a few times until he bowed slightly and shouted.
“Charlotte, would you please live together with me in my house?”
