Sold To An Alpha

Chapter 243 – It Tastes Awful

Mr. Adolpho walked down the stairs to the living room and a smile emerged on his lips as he glanced at Rita, who sat with a distant look on her face and a cup of coffee in her hand. 

He strolled over to her and took a seat next to her, then took her hand in his, startling her out of her thoughts. 

"What are you thinking?" He inquired, and Rita chuckled softly. "Oh, it's nothing. I was just bored."

"Ah…I see." He nodded at her and gently rubbed her hand while admiring the diamond ring he gave her. "It looks beautiful on your finger." He complimented her and a wide smile ensued on Rita's face. "Thank you."

"Ah…there is something I have been meaning to talk to you about since yesterday." She turned to face him, and Mr. Adolpho nodded at her to go on.

"Well…I know I had you postpone the wedding, but… I have been thinking since yesterday and I believe I'm ready." She smiled at him, and Mr. Adolpho's eyes blinked in a bit of surprise. "You mean, you're ready for the wedding?" He gazed at her with a slow smile forming on his face, and Rita nodded at him. 

"Yes!!" He exclaimed in joy, and Rita chuckled awkwardly. "Hold on while I make some calls, okay." He stood up from the sofa and began to walk away towards the balcony with his phone in hand.

Alex put on his black jacket and grabbed his phone from the table. He strolled out of his mansion and unlocked his car, then stepped in and shut the door. 

He started the car's engine and slowly drove out of the compound and onto the road.

A low breath exited his nose and his hands that were on the steering wheel tightened. 

He drove for an hour before finally arriving at his destination, which was the forest, and he carefully pulled over into the narrow road and continued to drive further.

He finally stopped when he reached a dead end and stepped out of the car, shutting the door afterward. 

He glanced around, and a smile ensued on his face when he felt that very familiar presence. 

"You came quicker than I thought." A serene, delicate voice resounded, and he turned around to see Alesea standing with a loving smile on her lips. Her blue eyes stared at him, and she began to walk towards him while the vigorous wind blew on her blue wavy hair. 

Alex assessed her from head to toe, and he slowly shook his head with amusement on his face. 

"And again, you are naked upwards." He opened the car door, grabbed a pair of blue shorts, a white shirt, and white sandals, and handed them to her. "Wear it." 

Alesea received the clothing from him and carefully examined it. A smile formed on her face as she found it pretty, and Alex turned around to have his back facing her, to give her privacy. 

Alesea's eyes fluttered in a bit of confusion as she tried to figure out how to wear them. "Hmmm." She eventually wore them and asked Alex to turn and see if she did it right.

Alex turned around, and the moment his eyes fell on her, he couldn't help but break out into laughter. "Alesea, you're wearing the back, haha." He shook his head and asked her to take it off, then wear it again. 

She nodded and did just as he asked, and finally when she was done, he helped her wear the sandals, then took her to board the car. He shut the door after she stepped in and moved to take his seat in the driver's chair. 

He helped her put the seatbelt on, and with the start of the engine, he reversed the car and slowly drove out of the forest and onto the road.

He drove for a while, and immediately, when they arrived on the main road, Alesea's eyes widened upon seeing so many things she had never seen before. Their kind was never allowed on land, which was the reason why she had never been out in the open.

She immediately poked her head out through the window, leaving her hair to flutter vigorously in the wind. 

Alex grabbed her by the collar of her shirt and pulled her head back into the car. "You don't do that, Alesea." 

"Why?" She turned to stare at him with her large, cute eyes, and Alex slightly shook his head in amusement. "Do you want to lose your head?"

"Huh? Of course not. I don't want to lose my head." Her face puckered a bit as she shook her head and Alex flicked his finger at her forehead.

"If you don't want to lose your head, then don't do that, okay." He smiled at her and she slowly nodded at him. 

They drove for a few minutes more before Alex finally arrived at his estate. He drove into his compound and parked the car, then stepped down to pull the door open for her. 

He helped her get out of the car, and Alesea's eyes darted around in excitement. He interlocked his hands with hers and began to walk towards the entrance while dragging her along with him. 

He pushed the door open and stepped in, followed by Alesea, whose body halted on seeing the interior of the mansion. 

Everywhere was brightened up by the luminous lights of the lanterns, and the couch and simple-looking flowers made it more elegant and beautiful. 

"You live here?" She inquired in an awed tone, and Alex nodded at her, then gestured for her to have a seat on the sofa.

"Are you hungry?" He asked, and she blinked her eyes as she contemplated before shaking her head. "Not really."

Alex bobbed at her and moved towards the kitchen to make some coffee for himself. He returned with a cup in his hand and sat down beside her on the couch, then sipped from it. 

Alesea stared at him and his brows creased when he noticed her intent stare. "What is it?" He asked with an arched brow and a bewildered expression on his face.

"That… what is that?" She inquired while pointing at the cup of coffee in his hand.

"This?" Alex glanced at the cup of coffee and she nodded at him. "Oh… this is called coffee." He chuckled and handed it over to her. "Drink some."

Alesea took the cup from him and slowly sipped the coffee. Her eyes instantly fluttered as she felt the bitterness, and she hurriedly handed it back to him. 

"What's wrong?" Alex asked as he stared at her altered face while resisting the urge to burst into laughter. 

"It tastes awful." She clicked her tongue at him with an ugly look on her face, and he flicked his finger on her forehead. "That's because I added a little sugar and no milk."

"Oh…" She chuckled awkwardly as she nodded, even though she clearly did not understand what he was talking about.

"I'm going to take you to meet someone, so relax for now, okay.." He smiled at her and she nodded before resting her back on the sofa.
