Chapter 9 - Troublesome Neighbor (1/2)

Xander followed Deyna inside the grocery store and sighed. She had changed her hairstyle and hair color from a pure straight long black hair to fringy layers of copper color with dimensional highlights. It had that something's-different-but-I-can't-put-my-finger-on-it quality.

Regardless of hairstyle and hair color, Deyna's cute features were still there. You wouldn't believe that she was already twenty-nine years old because she looked much younger. She was blessed with a babyface.

He was following Deyna's every move ever since he saw her at the hospital. He knew that her memories as Yera Han were back, and she was just hiding it.

However, she was recklessly doing things on her own, and her enemy was not someone small. If not for his intervention, her life would have been in jeopardy once more.

It was good that Bernard had processed her documentation before their wedding. On paper, she appeared to be Doctor Song's legal daughter. So they managed to mislead certain people who were behind the misfortunes of the Han Family.

Xander sighed. He was looking for the right timing to approach her and to bring up the subject of her own safety, without her misunderstanding the whole situation.

Although, he was curious why she didn't ask the Kens to help her. They were absolutely capable of helping her.

From the way he looked at it, Deyna preferred to do things on her own. But clearly, she wouldn't make it alive if she continued like this. The worst-case scenario was that she would end up dead, this time for sure.

Deyna stopped walking and turned around to look at him with an arched brow.

Xander was suppressing his laughter because he found her expression adorable. She was really back to her old self because according to Ron's report, Yera Han was the one who always struck terror. Everyone was afraid to approach her.

”Mr. Yang, can you stop following me now? We are already inside the grocery store, and I don't feel comfortable with you hanging around me, so please…” she said grumpily as her eyes rounded straight at him.

Xander winked at her, and it made Deyna's face crumple even more.

'What is wrong with this guy?' She thought irritably as she looked at the never-ending smile on his face as though he was the craziest person in the world.

”I'm not following you. I just need some things from here too. There… see? I need some of these,” he stated with a grin, pointing at the shampoos for men.

”Can't he stop smiling?!” Deyna mumbled as she walked past him to start picking up her own things. It actually surprised her that Xander was doing his own grocery when he could easily ask his helper or assistant to do it.

Xander grinned mischievously as he muttered, ”What an elusive vixen.”

It wouldn't be easy to approach someone like her. Well, maybe for others, because Xander was different. He always had his own ways with everything.

...…..

Bernard previously helped her to get the qualification and necessary documents for an emergency doctor. She was now working at the hospital's Emergency Room. She was not on duty on weekends, so she usually prepared dinner at home.
