Chapter 89: The Alpha question

Chapter 89; The Alpha queued.

Hazel stared at Damien in shock, then her gaze went to the bitten part of her bun and she remained in shock for a while. Even the stall owner, who was watching this scene, was slightly surprised.

Damien had directly tasted the bun by eating the same part Hazel had bitten into, her shock was justified because it qas the great Alpha Damien we were talking about here.

Hazel stared at him chewing and asked in a low tone, “Does it taste good? Do you want to have more bites?”

Damien stared at her for a second, then he leaned down and answered her by taking another bite of the bun. Hazel watches this happen, and some odd sense of excitement bubbles inside her.

Like that, both of them finished the bun in a few bites.

The stall owner watched the two of them showing off affection speechlessly.

But, when other people saw Damien and Hazel obviously enjoying the bun, they were tempted to try it out. So in a few seconds, the stall owner’s stall was filled up and his smile wouldn’t cease.

The guard, who were secretly following behind Damien and Hazel, saw the entire scene and were unable to close their mouths.

“Is that really our Alpha?” One of them asked.

These guards wouldn’t argue if someone told them that an imposter has taken the place of their Alpha because the Alpha they knew wouldn’t even share a meal with any of his elders not to talk of a woman.

“I don’t know.” Another replied with the same shocked expression.

At first, Hazel had been cautious around Damien, but as time went by, she became more comfortable. She completely forgot that Damien was the same man she claimed she hated, the same man feared by countless people.

Right now, they really seem like normal commoner couples who came out to enjoy themselves.

“That smells good.” Hazel saw another food stall and swallowed hard.

Damien, who noticed her reaction, didn't know whether to laugh or cry. “I never knew that you were such a foodie.”

Hazel gave him a look, “I don’t eat much, I just like to appreciate good food.”

Damien knew arguing with her wouldn’t end well, so he pretended to agree with her. Hazel thought through his act at a single glance, but she couldn’t be bothered by what he was thinking.

What she cared about were those caramel candies right in front of her. She has never seen something like it before, so she wanted to have a taste.

Actually, Damien didn’t like eating street foods or food made from such public places, but he couldn’t afford to dampen Hazel's spirit.

So whatever she gives him, he would eat.

Damien didn’t even realize how low his boundaries with Hazel had become.

And whatever she shows interest in, he would get for her no matter how expensive. Even those she only gave cursory glances were not spared.

Each time, a guard would swiftly step out of nowhere, collect the purchased item and vanish again, far enough not to disturb them, but close enough to protect them if any form of danger pops up.

The stall owners who were lucky were beaming with joy, they wished that big customers like the couple would visit everyday.

The stalls who didn’t open for one reason or the other were meant to regret it when they heard of what happened today.

Hazel's smile never diminished. She saw another side of Damien, a side probably no one had ever seen. He accompanied her and never complained, teased her whenever she did something absurd and even ate what she had eaten from.

It was a whole new experience for her, but she enjoyed every little bit of it.

After an hour, Hazel finally became tired.

She has been running around for a while, and her body, despite strong, demanded rest.

“Tired already? We’ve not even spent up to two hours yet.” Damien pointed out.

“I just want to rest for a while, my stomach feels bloated as well.” Hazel replied before finding a wooden chair nearby to sit on.

Damien watched her for a second and said, “I will be right back.”

“Where…”

She wasn’t able to finish her statement before Damien disappeared amidst the pool of crowd. She glanced around for him but could not even see his silhouette.

“Where did he go?” She mumbled to herself. At that moment, Hazel was in no mood to enjoy anything anymore.

Could it be that he had left her? Or did he grow tired of her?

A lot of thoughts ran through her mind, but she didn’t dare to leave in fear that he wouldn’t find her when he came back.

However, she didn’t have to wait for so long when Damien came back with a bamboo cup in his hand.

“Here.” He handed her the cup and when Hazel saw the content, she smiled.

It was a sweet iced tea, just what she needed after exhausting her strength.

“So you left to get me this?” She asked as she took the cup and took tiny sips of the tea.

“You said you felt bloated, sweet tea helps.” He replied calmly and Hazel nodded, feeling the sweetness of the tea seep into her heart.

The tea was slightly chilled, the sweetness light and refreshing.

“I thought you left.” She mumbled.

“Left? Why would I leave?” He replied with another question and she shrugged.

But the question made her wonder, why indeed?

She didn’t even know when she started thinking that he should never leave.

“I just thought…” she began, but at the end, she just sighed. “Nothing.”

Damien studied her calmly, but didn’t press her further.

After taking half of the drink, she nodded, “You chose well.”

“It wasn’t difficult.” He answered calmly. “Half the people in the market are queuing in front of the particular stall.”

Hazel looked around and it did not take her long before she found the stall.

Her brows shot up in surprise, “So, you queued?”

The great Alpha Damien queued to get her an iced tea?
