Chapter 84: His carefully thought-out plan
Azrael shouted his name, but Knox ignored him. If they don’t leave the place, then Azrael might start buying anything he laid eyes on. Knox even wondered if it was the first time the rich kid entered a bazaar, so he was too excited and started impulse buying.
’I don’t know what’s gotten into him, but why is so intent on shopping weird things?!’ Knox groaned inwardly. Instead of spending his time with his son, he was forced to try wigs and coats! ’I get the season is changing, but it’s still hot! We’re already wearing sweatshirts and he still wanted to wear winter coats over them?! He’s not right in the head. Ugh, I should have known!’
Knox stopped in front of a convenience store. He panted for air as he brought his palms to his knees. He looked back and saw Azrael chasing him. He waved at him and pointed at the convenience store, then he entered and bought two bottles of water.
He checked the time and sighed after seeing it was already four in the afternoon. He sat on the nearest bench and waited for Azrael to come.
"Oh, you made it," Knox clapped his hand, making fun of Azrael’s sweaty face.
Azrael panted. Knox ran until they exited the bazaar. In fear of losing him, Azrael followed quickly even though he still wanted to check for some scarf. Knox handed him a cold bottle of water, but he jumped him instead and slung his arm on his neck. Then, he scolded him, "How dare you run from me. I’m buying you necessities but you refuse, huh? Maybe I should just cover you in sheets and then walk you around."
"What necessities? Don’t exaggerate! I don’t think what I need right now is a winter coat and wig! Why are you even looking at the wigs?! Are you perhaps...wishing to have long hair?" Knox asked, genuinely curious. He patted Azrael’s cheek warmly and added, "Goodness, if you said so, I would even help you pick one! Let’s go back later if that will really make you happy."
Azrael, "Shut up. You’re irritating."
"Oh, wow, said the one who kept dragging me everywhere," Knox sarcastically replied. Azrael glared down at him as he drank water.
