126 Chapter 126: Hezekiah -2 (1/2)

'Her eyes were pretty'

Hazel curled herself into a ball inside the basket and waited for Fred to let her down so that she can finally explore the city. Minutes passed, and the pair had no intention of stopping.

Hazel bit her lips as she was on the verge of exploding from inside the basket, scaring the living daylights out of them when finally she felt herself come to a stop. Her eyes brightened excitedly when she heard Delia say, ”I can take over from here. Thank you for helping me, Fred.”

Fred blushed and scratched his head nervously, ”No..No... it's okay... Umm.. well, if you are okay, do you mind having dinner with me sometime?”

Delia tilted her head and knitted her brows, ”Dinner?”

Fred blushed deeper and nodded her head eagerly.

Hazel's lips twitched inside the basket. She didn't have to see to know how Delia would react. Like she thought, Delia, shrugged with a smile, ”Sure. Let me know when you are free.”

Hazel slapped her forehead as she thought of how could an adult miss all those hints when she could feel his desperation. She pitied Fred.

Fred let out a breath in relief but he didn't know how to feel when he realized that she still didn't get what he meant. He shook his head laughing before waving at her.

Delia waited for him to leave before she lifted the box making her eyes jump out of her eye socket. She groaned when she tried to juggle the heavy basket in her arms. She looked at the basket and thought how strong was he to carry it all over here without a single struggle.

Delia managed to hold the box in her arms and mumbled, ”Phew!! Why is this basket heavy?”

Knitting her brows, she shook her head and entered the shop in front of her. Right upon entering, she called out, ”Old man, I'm back.”

”Delia...” the old man greeted her cheerfully when he saw her bringing the basket to the table. He curled his lips when he saw her place the basket with a soft thud.

The Old man asked, ”Looks like you have quite a few things this time.”

Delia wiped away her sweat and said as she was opening the lid. Hazel squeezed her eyes shut upon the revelation when she heard a gasp making her peek at her.

Delia was staring blankly at the Princess who was cuddled within her clothes. She gulped when she thought of the furious royal family and her hand shook.

The old man nervously held her shoulder and asked, ”Delia dear, are you alright?”

Delia turned to him slowly with her body slightly trembling and nodded. She nervously gulped and closed the lid before anyone would see and said urgently, ”I'm sorry Old man, I will come by later.”

Without waiting for his reply, Delia snatched the basket and left through the door hurriedly making the old man sighed, ”She could have just given it to me now.”

Delia looked up and saw a few people look at her which made her smile nervously. She cursed inside her mind as she rushed into an alley and opened the lid. She almost lost it when she saw the Princess smile guiltily.
