Chapter 217: Shopping To Her Heart’s Content
"Fizzy..." Rory scratched Liam’s arm with a goofy smile. She wanted to kiss him, but she didn’t want to make the old taxi driver feel awkward. So, she resorted to touching him otherwise.
"What?" Liam chuckled. He was ticklish. She was scratching so softly that it felt like tickles.
"Where are you taking me?" she asked. She was so curious. She could see that they are going toward the city, but she didn’t know where he is going to take her or what he was planning for that day.
She was too excited.
"It’s a surprise!" Liam pushed her face away. Why is she this cute? He can’t keep his surprise if she looks cutely at him like this.
"But Fizzy..." Rory pouted. "I need to know... see... I am not even dressed properly... I am not even wearing makeup and... Eww! I stink..." she found random reasons that she didn’t even mean.
Liam chuckled. "Since when do you care about all that?" he asked. He knew the answer. Forever. She only had stopped caring about that after childbirth probably because she didn’t have to time to. She was raising Ellie alone, after all.
His heart went heavy.
"You are dressed warmly," he said kissing her forehead. "That’s enough. You’re so pretty and you smell like flowers. So, don’t worry," he held her hand and placed it on his lap.
"Really?" Rory pressed her lips. But she couldn’t control her smile hearing his compliment. She was wearing moisturizer and basic makeup. She would have dressed up prettier if she knew Liam would be here.
She was happy that Liam liked her as she is.
That’s why she was surprised when Liam stopped at the high street of the city. He said that they can buy her some clothes. There were a lot of stores and Rory naturally gravitated toward the baby stores.
