Chapter 101: Tess

Soon Lucian began to walk towards the shop, on the way he saw a convenience store so he decided to buy a couple of things, with Tess in his arms he walked into the shop.Lucian then picked a few packets of chips and some small bottles of fruit juices, all the women in the store kept looking at him, he was so young, handsome and was carrying a kid.

They wondered if it was his child and for some reason all those women found him even more attractive, a few of them even tried to talk but Lucian didn't want Tess to wake up, so he just told them that he was married.

After completing his purchase, he walked out of there carrying the sleeping Tess in one arm and a bag in another, then he headed straight towards the clothes shop.

' To build Echo this time I have a better idea, I won't have to type everything and I'll be done much faster. ' Lucian thought, as an idea popped into his mind.

He needed Echo for most of his plans, after all, she is so efficient and can do so many things with just a simple command, she is even better than most of the current hackers, so building her was also Lucian's priority.

[ What idea? Though I didn't like her much but she was indeed quite useful. ]

' I am going to need your help for that soon. ' he added.

[ What are you planning? You are seriously making me work overtime sigh. ]

' You can hear what I talk to you in my head right, then you would also be able to get the code, after which you just have to write it over your pages and I'll just scan it all. '

Lucian explained, this way he would be able to finish several day's work in just one day.

[ I knew it you are going to make me work a lot, fine I can do that. So I am getting my rival on this earth too, I am ready to bring it on. ]

Soon Lucian walked into the shop and immediately a couple of women who were working there came to help him out.

" Sir, what would you like to buy? " One of the women asked, showing her prettiest smile.

" I want to buy some clothes for her, can you show me some? " Lucian spoke as he pointed towards Tess, who was still sleeping with her head on his shoulder.

" Oh! She is so cute, she looks to be around four. Please wait, I'll get clothes for her. " After saying that, the salesgirl walked away hastily.

Lucian sat down on a chair while he waited, since Tess would need to try the clothes on so he decided to wake her up.

" Tess, wake up, look where we are. " As Lucian spoke, she slightly opened her eyes and sleepily looked around.

" Here, drink this. " Lucian gave her the fruit juice bottle with a pipe in it, she held it carefully with both hands and with her eyes still half closed she began to drink the juice.

It seemed she liked that juice quite a lot, as she began to take big gulps.

Then he took out his handkerchief and began to wipe her face, it seemed the nurse had cleaned her body earlier so there was no dirt on her body but the marks of tears could still be seen.

" Sir, I have brought the dresses, you can choose whichever you like among these. " The salesgirl walked up to them and then pointed towards the various types of clothes she brought, there were a lot of them.

" Tess, go and try that dress. " Lucian said and she finally woke up, then she finally looked at her surroundings and was quite surprised, her little mouth opened wide into an O shape.

This was the first time she was coming to a place like this after all, but she got over her surprise quickly and instead got nervous, as she clutched Lucian's shirt tightly.

" It's fine, we are here to buy some clothes for you. " Lucian spoke as he smiled seeing her cute reaction, while patting her head.

" Buy cwodes? " Tess looked at him in confusion, she knows nothing about the outside world, since that landfill and a small house were her entire world until recently.

" Haha yes we are buying clothes, so go and try some out, I'll hold onto your drink until then. " Lucian spoke then he asked the salesgirl to help her.

Tess looked fearful of others but after Lucian threatened her with drinking the remaining of her drink she agreed to try new dresses.

*******

After over twenty minutes, Tess had tried several dresses and in most of them she looked like a little fairy, so in the end, Lucian decided to buy them though they were quite costly but he had to do it.

After paying for the clothes, Lucian walked out of the shop he was holding a lot of bags so Tess was holding his finger and walking beside him, now she was wearing clothes that were fitting her perfectly and looked great on her.

" Let's go eat something. " Lucian spoke, after looking around he sent all the bags to Zero's storage, but Tess didn't notice it since she was busy drinking another bottle of fruit juice.

Then they entered a hotel, it was quite luxurious so Tess seemed nervous and afraid, she was looking at everything so curiously, and was sticking close to Lucian. Searᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

When the dishes arrived, she just stared at them with water filling her mouth, but she didn't touch them.

" What are you waiting for? You can start eating. " Lucian spoke, as he picked up the spoon and after filling it, brought it close to her mouth.

" E- Eat thwis? " She asked, with her gaze fixed on the spoon, it was clear she wanted to eat it but was probably afraid.

" Yes, this is for you. " Then Lucian moved the spoon forward and she finally ate it, and just after a taste, she began to eat on her own.

" Haa That was nice, shall we go home now? " Lucian spoke as they walked out of the hotel, just then he noticed the couple he had met earlier.

Karen and her husband were being thrown out of a hotel since they didn't have any money because Shorty's wallet and mobile had fallen earlier, then they sat in their car hastily to hide their identities and drove off.

' I will remember the number of their car, be prepared for what's to come, she asked me to prove how I can ruin them right? ' he thought.

" Yes " Tess nodded her head several times with a smile, she was experiencing so many new things today.

' If she is going to stay with me then I am going to need someone who can take care of her and the house in my absence, and I do have someone in mind for that.

Also I need to buy many things for her like the daily necessities. ' Lucian thought, then while holding her hand he walked to several shops and bought many things, after which he booked a cab for back home.
