The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 251

Walter looked into Shakira's clear and pure eyes, and then his eyes darkened for a second. He said, "It's not a big deal? Clearly, Walter didn't want to talk about it.

He bluntly and assertively changed the subject. "I'll have a meeting later, and I've got two hours before that. What do you want to do? I can join you."

Shakira pouted but didn't insist. She said, "Xanthe should arrive at the hotel in about two hours. When we came out, I saw some snacks at the mall downstairs. I'll grab some and wait for her in the room." Walter said, "Okay."

After leaving the parking lot, Shakira and Walter took the elevator to the mall. This place was not only famous for its roast chicken, but the desserts and snacks here were also highly praise.

Many tourists come here for winter vacations, and there are long lines outside many brand stores in the mall.

Walter motioned at Brian and let them stay back. He just let Shakira push him, and they strolled without any particular direction.

The mall's basement level had a food court brimming with local and national snacks. It was as large as at least three-night markets in Crescentville.

Although Shakira had recently eaten, the good smells around made her gulp a few times. Walter wasn't a fan of the chaotic mix of aromas, but seeing Shakira practically glued to the food stalls with her eager eyes, he didn't mind as much. Suddenly, Walter saw a young couple passing by. The man was enjoying some snacks, while the girl cheerfully ate her dessert.

She pulled him to another stall to line up for fried chicken and casually passed him the dessert that she hadn't finished. Walter thought, 'Is this something couples do on dates?' Then he gently tightened his hold on Shakira's hand and said, "What do you want to eat?" Shakira sniffed eagerly and said, "Everything looks so delicious, but I definitely Xanthe first, and we can try everything together tonight!"

y can't eat all of it right now. Let's wait for

Hearing this, Walter felt a bit jealous. He thought, 'I'm right here with her, yet she's thinking about bringing someone else?' He couldn't help but imagine the scene of Shakira and Xanthe sweetly sharing the snacks like a couple.

Walter said, "No way, she's a guest. Since she has come all this way, I'll have Brian set up a nice restaurant for you. Just tell me what you want to eat now, and if you can't finish it, I'll help you eat it."

"What?" Shakira blinked in disbelief. "A lot of these are just snacks and junk food. Are you sure?" Walter said, "Am I really that weak?"

There was a hint of danger in his tone. Shakira wouldn't dare underestimate Walter. She giggled and wiggled his finger playfully. "Alright, since you've said so, I'll reluctantly satisfy your request!"

Shakira didn't hold back and bought all the new and interesting snacks she could find many of which weren't available in Crescentville. As a thoughtful girlfriend, she avoided smelly snacks, in case Walter would be laughed at in his afternoon meeting.

This was the scene: a graceful woman walked ahead with some snacks in her hand, but she kept looking around for the next snack. Behind her was a handsome man in a wheelchair, calm and composed, with a lap full of snacks, enjoying them leisurely. 1/3

Their striking looks and aurs naturally attracted the gaze of many tourists. They discussed, "Look at that couple. They're so good-looking. Are they celebrities?"

"Celebrities wouldn't casually wander around like this. Maybe they're just good-looking people."

"Look at that man's clothes and watch. He's definitely wealthy and has a high status. The girl seems pretty ordinary, like a college student."

"That man really loves that girl. See how he takes the snacks she just bought and even eats the part she bit into? No matter how rich or powerful a man is, he still has to cat what his girlfriend doesn't like." "Wait, what the heck? Isn't that our boss?"

"What? Are you saying that's... Mr. Lopez?"

"Yes, he just turned his head and I saw him clearly. It's Mr. Lopez!! I knew it. Who else besides Mr. Lopez can be so elegant in a wheelchair?"

"Oh my! Mr. Lopez is dating someone? And he's eating his girlfriend's leftovers? How adorable is that! Oh no, it feels so unreal to me."

"Shall we go say hi? I didn't even get a good look at Mr. Lopez's girlfriend. I'd like to take a look!"

"Are you out of your mind? How dare you disturb Mr. Lopez's date?"

"Oh, you're right. I dare not to do that..."

They didn't dare to disturb, but they dared to take pictures and post them on the company's chat groups. The news soon reached the team, the department, the whole branch, and then the headquarters. Someone then directly posted a few pictures on the company's private site. [Holy shit, I was wondering why this couple looked so familiar. It's Mr. Lopez!]

In the comments, someone replied with another picture: [Yeah, I've also taken a photo. I thought I was dreaming, but it was real...]

[Wow, looks like they're at the mall under the hotel? I want to run into our boss on a date, too!]

[Live update, Mr. Lopez and his girlfriend have just left the foodie district.]

After taking a whole round, Shakira was so full. She touched her stomach and then bent over to touch Walter's, feeling instantly comforted. She thought, 'See, no matter how wealthy and good-looking someone is, they'll still get a little belly after eating too much.' Shakira let out a satisfied burp. Then she noticed that more and more people were looking at them. She took put it on. Then she handed one to Walter as well.

Walter glanced over and happened to catch sight of the couple from earlier. They were in a claw machine store, and the girl was cheering the guy on in front of a machine. But clearly, after several attempts, the guy still couldn't grasp a toy. Walter suddenly said, "Which one do you like? I'll get it for you." Shakira followed his gaze and saw that store. She thought, 'Claw machines?"

This time, she also noticed the couple and suddenly realized something. She chuckled softly and thought, 'Honestly, Walter can be pretty childish sometimes.'

"Sure, get me a bigger one. I'm not used to sleeping without something to hug," she said without thinking, but then Walter's

eyes darkened at once and glanced at her deeply

Shakira realized what she had said. She blushed and explained. Don't get me wrong. I wasn't talking about you. It's just that I'm used to having something to cuddle with recently, so it felt a bit off last night Walter smiled and said in a hoarse and deep voice, "Just a few more days, bear with it."

Shakira felt like the more she explained, the w
