Chapter 318: Little Girlfriend (7)
So, Carolline asked a supermarket staff member to help her ask Axel, it’s a big supermarket and they couldn’t find what they were looking for all by themselves.
"Yes, we have it right here. Please follow me." The supermarket staff member led Carolline towards the Imported Snacks Section. It was a newly developed area, therefore relatively small. Axel didn’t pay much attention to it when he passed by earlier. The staff fetched a package and handed it to Carolline, "Miss, is this what you’re looking for?"
"Um, it probably is. Thank you." Carolline hadn’t examined the cotton candy package closely. From what she remembered, the cotton candy Elena held looked similar. Carolline picked up two packs and then went to find Axel, "Axel, look, is this what you wanted?"
Upon hearing his mother’s voice, Axel rushed over. The sight of the cotton candy in Carolline’s hand made his eyes light up, "Mmhmm! That’s the one. Thanks, mom."
Axel was elated. So overwhelmed with excitement, he became somewhat flustered. He’d kept it a secret so well, how could his mother know that he wanted this?
"You’re welcome. Now, we’ve got what Elena wanted. Is there anything else you need? Hurry up, we need to get home and go bed, time is running out." Carolline gently patted his head. Inadvertently, she mentioned Elena’s name.
"Mom, how do you know that Elena wanted this?" Axel’s face turned red. He felt embarrassed as though his hidden secret was known to his mother. It was such a surprise.
"Who’s Elena?" Bryan Hawkins tuned into the mother and son’s conversation. He couldn’t wait for Carolline’s response and interrupted with a question. He was pretty curious why the mention of Elena made Axel blush so hard.
