Relationship

Azura's hug made his anger subside, he felt a little calmer. He didn't know why he was so angry when he saw Azura crying. They just met and haven't spent much time together. However, the bond between them connected very quickly, even though he knew that a creature like him could not have a bond with anyone.

Aiden touched Azura's face, wiping away the tears that were flowing down her face. He smiled gently and was happy that Azura was okay.

"Don't cry anymore, okay? I won't let anyone hurt you. Never!"

"Aiden!" Azura sobbed in his arms. She was really afraid of what would happen to her if Aiden wasn't by her side.

"Are you afraid? I told you, wait for me there! Why are you so stubborn?" Aiden, who was gentle, suddenly turned fierce and angry as usual.

"Sorry, Aiden!"

"Okay, the important thing is that you don't be like that again. I want to call an ambulance first! Stay here, don't go anywhere!"

"Okay!"

Aiden walked a few steps to call an ambulance because the three thugs he beat had fainted. Seeing Aiden's back, Azura realized that Aiden looked so dashing. He was tall, his body was muscular and perfectly sculpted, his hair was dark brown, a stark contrast to his amber eyes that sparkled with gold. Aiden is different from Ethan, who is gentle, calm and not angry with him. Aiden was a strange man who from the start of their meeting immediately showed dislike for him, but in the two days they had been together it felt like they had been together for a lifetime.

"Ethan, I'm so happy. I used to think I would never meet another good human being besides you. But here, I'm with someone who is very good and he promised that he would take me to you. I hope you still remember me, Ethan ."

"Where is this?"

Azura's eyes were amazed when she first saw the shopping center where almost along the road, there were rows of clothing shops. In one shop, he saw a statue wearing a very beautiful short dress. For some reason he was very interested in that dress.

"We'll buy you clothes and underwear! I don't want you wandering around my house without any underwear on!"

"Do you really have to wear underwear?"

"Of course you have to wear it! Never mind, let's go in!" He said while pulling Azura's hand to enter one of the shops.

"But Aiden, I want that shirt!" Azura said while pointing at a short dress that was quite revealing. Even though the clothes looked nice and sexy, for some reason he objected to Azura wearing clothes like that.

"It's best to wear normal clothes! It doesn't have to be too sexy!"

"But I like that one! I want to try wearing it!"

"Okay, just try it! You understand?"

"Okay!"

Aiden was forced to follow Azura's wishes. They entered the shop and asked the shop assistant to take clothes like those worn by the statues on display.

"Please help him put on his clothes!" Aiden asked the shop assistant.

The shop assistant took Azura to the fitting room to try on the mini dress. After wearing it, Azura immediately came out of the fitting room to show Aiden the clothes she was wearing.

"Aiden...!" She ran happily to Aiden who was trying to hold back his embarrassment.

Azura smiled hoping to get a compliment from Aiden about her new clothes. Meanwhile, Aiden tried to control his anxiety.

"Your big chest is too prominent, it's better to wear more cover-up clothes!"

"But I like this shirt! I want this one, Aiden!" Azura whined. He didn't want to take off the clothes. She twirled and danced like a happy little girl after getting new clothes.

"Okay, okay! You don't need to dance like that. If you really like it, you can have it!"

"Yeah...Aiden is very good!" He cheered and made everyone in the shop pay attention to him.

While choosing and buying clothes, Aiden was always embarrassed by Azura's behavior. He didn't know how to describe his strange and very childish attitude. She was always happy whenever Aiden bought her something, even if it was cheap, like hair clips and an imitation pearl necklace. He was always grateful for every little thing.

After buying clothes, Aiden saw a cellphone shop with a brand that was very famous in the world. In fact, he is not really interested in following trends, he bought several smartphones when he was still living in America. But he always threw away his cellphone to remove traces.

"Shall I just buy it?"

"What do you buy?"

"Smartphone, looks like I have to replace my cellphone with a more sophisticated one."

"What's that cell phone, Aiden?"

"Cell phones are tools used for long distance communication. So, you can call and exchange messages with someone who is far from you. Like your family for example."

"Then I can exchange news with Ethan?"

"If you have his cell phone number. But the problem is do you have his number or not?"

"No!"

"Then don't talk!"

Even though he had doubts, in the end Aiden still bought the latest cellphone. He didn't know why he was buying something that he would eventually throw away. However, the only thing that pushed him to buy it was because he wanted to be able to communicate with Azura if Azura returned to her family.

After shopping and buying a cellphone, Aiden bought two pieces of his favorite mint and vanilla ice cream for Azura.

"What's this?"

"Ice cream, eat it! My money is almost gone, so I can't take you to eat at a restaurant. I'll just buy you ice cream, is that okay?"

"Sweet and cold, it tastes very delicious." Azura immediately licked the ice cream she was eating for the first time.

They sat on park chairs while looking at the sky which was starting to dusk. Because it has entered summer, the air in the afternoon still feels very warm.

"You really like it, huh?"

"It feels really good, I like it!"

"If you like it, I'll buy it again later."

"Aiden!"

"Hmm?"

"Why are you so nice to me? Didn't it seem like you didn't like me at that time!" All day Azura kept thinking about this question. Why could Aiden be so good to her even though he had never done anything for her. However, Aiden did not immediately answer his question and was silent for a while.

"I promised Jake I would look after you and make sure you were okay until you could meet your family."

"Because of that?"

"Yes, because of that!"

"I think it's because you're attracting my attention to breeding."

"Tsk, hahaha..."

"You're laughing at me again!"

"Hahaha...you're really in lust, aren't you? You're crazy!"

"Aiden!"

"What? Am I wronging Ethan if I want to breed with you?"

"What exactly is your relationship with Ethan?"

"I don't know!"

"A relationship without status, huh? Listen, a relationship like that means nothing. You don't need to take what a guy says like that seriously!"

"Ethan said he fell in love with me."
