Chapter 124 - Chocolate.
Next Day.
Isaac was standing in front of a mirror with a casual outfit, which consisted of a long-sleeved shirt in the color of black and grey sweatpants, which wasn’t reaching all the way to his ankles; after his sudden growth, all his clothes were slightly too short.
Looking at the mirror one more time, he turned around to grab a wristwatch from the cabinet, which was in the color of black with slight shades of silver, definitely an expensive one.
His gaze lingered on the cardboard box, which he left next to his bed after he left his father’s study after their talk.
He didn’t open it yet, but he plans to do it after he finishes his visit to the hospital… And he has plans on visiting certain someone.
”Sigh…” Isaac grabbed his jacket, snow boots, and mittens from the chair and left his room.
He went straight downstairs, where his family was already having their breakfast.
”Honey, you are going?” Isabella stood up and walked towards him with a gentle smile.
”Yes, mom.” He replied and put his snow boots on and tied the laces tightly.
”Michael will take you there,” Isabella said and looked outside the window, where a man in a black suit was already waiting with a black sedan.
Isaac nodded, and once he finished tying his snow boots’ laces, he wore his jacket and opened the front door.
”I will be back later in the afternoon.” He said and was about to leave, but then Isabella grabbed his cheeks and did a small peck on his forehead.
”Take care!” She said and signaled towards Michael with her eyes that if Isaac gets hurt, it is his fault.
Michael scratched his neck and wryly smiled.
Isaac sighed and glanced at Maxwell, who was sipping his coffee with a small wry smile visible on his face.
”Take care, mom.” He said and finally left the mansion with quick steps before his mother had any idea of stopping him from going.
”Yo,” Isaac said to Michael after reaching the car.
”Hello, young master,” Michael said and opened the door to the backseat.
Isaac entered the car and put mittens down to the seat.
Michael closed the door and entered the driver’s seat.
Isaac heard the car’s engine starting, which was very quiet, the only way to know that the engine started was after the car started moving.
It didn’t take long for the car to leave the mansion’s premises.
The car didn’t shake or tremble, it was very smooth, and Isaac almost felt like he wasn’t in a car, instead still sitting in his own room.
The car left the Neighborhood, and Michael smoothly drove the car towards the streets, which were already full of people of different ages about to start their daily routines.
Some were about to open their shops, while some were hanging out with their friends, it didn’t matter if they were of old age or still at the age of school.
Isaac looked outside the window, with his nose almost touching the glass. What he noticed was that most of the people’s gazes were stuck on the screens, which had news of White Online, and it seemed that everyone’s conversation topic was about that game.
Michael also noticed the same phenomenon, but he wasn’t as interested in it.
Isaac turned his gaze away and then remembered something; he facepalmed and said quickly, ”Michael, can we stop at… Flower shop or something.”
”Why?” Michael looked at the front mirror and saw Isaac facepalming himself.
Isaac sighed and thought it wouldn’t hurt anyone to tell him the real reason for his visit, ”I will visit Luna, and I would like to buy something for her. I am disturbing her rest after all.”
”Oh, Luna?” Michael frowned and didn’t remember the name, but it sounded girl’s name, and instantly when that thought surfaced into his mind, his hand trembled, and only with great self-discipline, he managed to keep the car straight and not cause any incidents.
”Any ideas what I should buy? Flowers, candy, girl stuff?” Isaac asked after having no idea what he should buy for a girl of the same age as him.
Michael tightened his collar and coughed a few times to get his composure back, ”Well… I think since she can’t leave the hospital, she would like something sweet, which she can’t get from the hospital, so maybe chocolate?”
”Good idea.” Isaac gave thumbs up and continued, ”Go to the nearby store.”
Michael nodded and thought to himself, ‘I won’t be punished for being an accomplice… Right? M-Maybe I shouldn’t tell his mother the reason for his visit… I still like my job.’
Soon, they reached a nearby convenience store.
Isaac opened the door and exited the car, but then Michael opened the window and said, ”Young master, I can go buy one, stay in the car.”
Isaac shook his head, ”No need, keep the car running. I will return soon.”
”B-But…” Michael tried to change his mind, but Isaac had already entered the store.
*Ring*
”Welcome.” A young lady with long brown hair said after hearing a bell ringing, signaling that someone had entered the shop. She was currently arranging the items on the shelves.
”Hello.” She stopped her movement after hearing a very pleasant sounding voice, she turned her head and was shocked to see a white-haired individual stopping in front of the shelf, with different kinds of candies, but his focus was on the chocolates.
‘What would she like…’ Isaac pondered and went through all the selections.
”E-E-Excuse me.” He turned his head and saw the young lady standing stiffly with rose-colored cheeks.
”Yes?” Isaac asked with half of his attention still on the chocolates.
”N-N-Need any help? Y-You are the only customer currently, so I might be able to give you some assistance.” She said with a stutter at first; before she could regain her composure, she walked next to Isaac and looked at the chocolate collection.
”Searching for chocolate?” She asked.
”Yes, not sure what to choose.” Isaac scratched his soft white hair and then remembered that the person standing next to him was a female around the same age as him.
She should be able to know which one to choose.
”Which chocolate would be good for a girl?” He decided to ask.
”F-For girl? L-Like, for girlfriend?” She asked with narrowed eyes.
Isaac wryly smiled and shook his head, ”For a friend, she is stuck in hospital and I thought that she would like something sweet.”
”A-Ah, right.” She tapped her chin and went through the chocolates; before her gaze got locked on one of them, she grabbed one of them with a small smile and gave it to Isaac.
”I am sure she would enjoy strawberry; it is one of my favorite ones.” She replied with a confident expression.
Isaac looked at it and smiled, ”Thank you.” They went to the cashier, and Isaac paid for the chocolate and left the store afterward.
After he was gone, the young lady took her phone and started texting her friends.
[Moe: Isaac visited the store I was working at!!!! Inform the Elders of Cult of White! I have videotape in my possession and grave news!]
