Chapter 435 - ELEVEN YEARS OLD

"Kace… why don't you buy me a phone?" Hope put the side of her face flatted to the table while staring at him, pleading. "All my friends have a phone. Why I don't have?" she asked sullenly.

It has been four months since Hope wanted a phone for herself, so she could communicate with her other friends, because Serefina wouldn't allow her to go outside most of the time. 

However, Kace didn't know this. He just visited her again after a few months. 

He got an information that led him back to the northern coven where Serefina told him that Hope's blood was there. Possessed by one of the witch there.

Kace didn't know how Serefina knew it, but when he was there with her, it was true that one of the dark witch had used Hope's blood for something terrible. 

It was blood that was lost from the hospital a few years ago when Hope was sick. Her blood as the guardian angel was very crucial, but then not much creatures knew about that. 

Therefore, Serefina and Kace was trying real hard to find out who was the one who had stolen it. Apparently, it led them back to the northern coven. It was a witch doing. 

But, how they could know that?

"A phone?" Kace was hugging her waist while they were watching a movie in the living room, just the two of them. 

"Yes, yes…" Hope nodded vigorously, excited that Kace didn't reject it right away.

Hope had been asking this to Serefina, but she didn't want to buy it for her and most of the time, she wouldn't be at home.

Meanwhile, Lana wouldn't do anything if she didn't get a green light from Kace or Serefina. It was a useless attempt to ask her anyway.

And Hope last choice was Kace. She was pretty sure Kace would give in to her, because all of this time he would always give everything that she wanted. 

"All my friends have it, it is only me that don't have a phone." Hope buried her face on his chest, acting all childish. She felt safe whenever she was with him and it was so natural to hug or be with Kace. 

"Will you buy it for me?" Hope murmured, yet there was a grin pulled on her lips when Kace dr.a.p.ed his arms on her back to caress her hair. She liked the feeling of his touch, though she still didn't know why she felt this way only when she was with him. 

"Of course, my little angel." Kace chuckled upon hearing the pleading in her tone. 

"Really?" Hope raised her head and beamed at him. "When we will buy it?"

"Hmm…" Kace stroke his chin and thought about it for a while. "I can't come here tomorrow and I don't know when I can visit you again…"

Hope's face fell when she heard that, the stars in her dark night like eyes, died out when she heard that. 

But, Kace's laugh sounded like a breeze wind in her ears. "What if we go now?" He glanced at the sun that was still on the horizon. "It is still two o'clock."

Serefina would be very pissed if Kace took Hope away when the sun had set, but it would be fine in the broad daylight. 

"Yes! Let's go!" Hope gave Kace a kiss on his left cheek. 

==============  

Hope was happily licking her ice cream when they walked in front of beauty store, which sell a lot of make up kit, she stopped and stared at it with longing in her eyes.

"Can I have that also?" Hope pointed her finger at a champagne pink lipstick on display. 

They just bought a phone for Hope and now she asked for more, yet deep down, Hope knew Kace would fulfill her wishes. 

"Can I?" Hope tugged on Kace's sleeves beside her. "Please?" she pouted her lips and that was all she needed to do to get an affirm nod from Kace. 

Kace felt an urge to face- palmed himself for this, but when he watched how happy his little mate was, he could just sigh helplessly. 

"No too much make up." Kace raised his finger as he talked sternly. ���You are still young. There is no need for you to cake your skin with those products."

His voice more like a mother, who was talking to their children for not being naughty, though it wasn't quite close. 

Hope just agreed with whatever Kace said and he wondered if she really heard him. 

With the happy Hope beside him, Kace entered the store and immediately bought the thing that she wanted and then left before she wanted another. 

Kace didn't know if he could say 'no' to her, especially when she acted cutely. 

Hope was very happy and Kace could see from the way she was smiling and the vibe that she gave off. Seeing her like this, there was a satisfied feeling within him that he couldn't elaborate with words. 

Kace felt he was very blessed to have her in his life…

The sun was almost set and they needed to go home before it was getting dark. But, when they were walking in the parking lot, Hope suddenly stopped and stared on her left.

"What is it Hope?" Kace also stopped and followed her line of sight. 

There was nothing particular there, except parents with their two children, just came out from their car.

"Do you know him?" Kace tilted his head at Hope. 

Now she was eleven years old, she was getting tall. The tip of her head reached Kace's elbow now, but of course she would grow taller in a few years later. 

"Hm… the older one is my classmate." Hope answered timidly, barely a whisper and when that family walked past them, Hope was hiding behind him. 

"If he is your classmate, so why are you hiding?" Kace asked curiously, yet he still hid her nonetheless. 

Hope shook her head. "No, nothing. Let's go home."

And Kace swore he saw her blushing.
