Chapter 47
“Grandpa, hold on, I don’t need all of that! That’s too much!” Elisa exclaimed.
John chose many accessories, from earrings and rings, but Elisa didn’t like buying them all.
“Why not? If you’re scared I’ll spend too much, then worry less, replied John. He waved his hand and was about to choose another set of accessories. Still, Elisa halted him again and made him curious.
“I know, but I meant that can I choose for myself instead?” Elisa stared at John’s eyes. “Even if you loved choosing it all, I don’t want it. I want something else.”
“If you want to choose on your own, then you are free to select,” said John, who pointed at the tray full of accessories the attendant showed.
Elisa sighed in relief. She thought of something that wouldn’t be available in the store, so John would urge her not to buy anything for her.
“I want gold
gold bars, not those fancy rings and earrings, even diamonds, Elisa reasoned.
“Oh, we have that here. One moment, I’ll bring it for you to see,” said the shop assistant, who then left.
Elisa was stunned. She was kidding and didn’t expect she would buy some gold bars now. Since she said it. then she couldn’t take it back.
“Why do you like gold bars? Out of the blue, John asked and was puzzled. “Are you just trying to say it as you don’t want me to buy you?”
Elisa waved her hand and explained, “It’s not like that. I just really wanted to have gold bars. It is okay if you don’t want to buy me Grandpa,”
“I will buy it for you, dear. Worry less, replied John.
Later, the two shop assistants went to their seats with two trays of gold bars.
Upon seeing it, Elisa’s eyes widened in astonishment. It was her very first time seeing gold bars that close.
“Since my granddaughter wants gold bars, I want to buy those two.trays,” said John.
“Grandpa, but…”
“Oh, don’t worry. Anything you like, I can give it to you,” John reasoned. “Besides, it’s just like Robert buys it for you as a gift, and it’s his card we will use again to buy it.” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
That made Elisa blink twice, and she almost had no face for Robert. She anticipated Robert would be furious and assured he would think she was forcing John to buy her a lot.
Seeing John hand Robert’s card to the shop assistant, Elisa returned to her senses. Yet when she heard the shop assistant mention that it was worth hundreds of thousands, she almost collapsed in her seat.
‘I hope Robert won’t argue with me, she thought and crossed her fingers.
“Elisa,” John called. “I see that you are somewhat worried. As I always told you, you do not need to be scared. Robert will understand. You are the wife.”

A lot lingered in Elisa’s mind, but she had no choice but to nod.
“Let’s go. We’ll go home after they wrapped it all,” said John.
“You didn’t want to buy some clothes and accessories for you? Elisa wondered.
“I won’t. That’s why I invited you to accompany me to buy you all you want, not what I want,” John explained.
Elisa didn’t argue further. The shop assistant handed John the card and Elisa the paper bag with gold bars.
As soon as and John left the shop.
they were done, Eli
While walking, Elisa noticed that people’s eyes darted at them as soon as they walked past them. Suddenly, she realized what those stares meant.
‘Did they all misunderstand us? she wondered.
However, Elisa’s
thadi
diverted to the familiar–man on the side who was heading towards
them. Her eyes widened as she stared at the man, and she paused from walking-
On her side, John also wondered. He looked at Elisa with his brows furrowed.
“What’s wrong?” He wondered. “Do you still forget something?”
“Nah, it’s not like that,” she replied.
Before asking further, he glanced at the man and a woman walking towards them. Both were familiar to his eyes, so he smirked, wanting to know what would happen next.
Meanwhile, Yan and Olivia looked at both of them in wonder. Yan was aware that the day he saw Elisa with that old man, she reasoned the two didn’t know each other, but at that time, he was confused as to why the two suddenly went shopping, just the two of them. He knew something was wrong.
“It’s shocking to see you’re with Grandpa shopping. I know he’s not your relative. Is he your lover? Why would you introduce him to us?” Olivia said, mocking both of them.
John was already furious deep inside him but didn’t want to interfere. He shut his mouth and wanted Elisa to handle this on her own.
“You sound too concerned with me, but no, I won’t introduce him to you both,” said Elisa. She was about to walk past them, but Olivia stood in front.
“We are worried about you, Elisa. We are a family, and even Yan is worried about your safety with this grandpa,” Olivia said.
Elisa smirked. It was a fake concern; she knew Olivia planned to do something else.
“It’s the very first time you’ve been concerned about me, but I can assure you I am fine. Do I look like I’m not?” Elisa replied sarcastically. It seems like you have a problem. Hmm, anyway, we’ll leave first. If you are both here to shop, then go. No one will stop you
Elisa held John’s arms and turned around to walk in another direction. However, Yan ran and stood before! them, stopping them from walking away.

“I know what is scattered around the internet is not true. I also tell my parents that you are innocent of all those accusations,” Yan said. “Tell me, what’s going on? You can always tell me all your problems”
Shaking her head, Elisa didn’t know what the problem was with them. It was crystal clear that the two were just like other people, judging them and believing they were a couple.
“Yan, remember we have nothing to do with each other. Thanks for your concern, but no, I am not facing any problems. If I do, I won’t even ask you to help,” Elisa explained.
“You just said that?! Elisa, he’s concerned with you!” Olivia exclaimed.
“Concern for what?! Do I look like I am having a problem?!” Elisa asked back. “You’re the one who is making the problem!”
“What are you saying?! We are concerned with you! You don’t know this old man much!” Olivia still tried
to reason.
Elisa clenched her fist. She couldn’t hold it anymore, so she approached Olivia closer and slapped her hard in the face.
“You don’t know anything, so shut your damn mouth!”
