Chapter 254 - Shopping Time (1/2)
NOTE! Every time you see •Adam• it means that he is still disguised as David. It would be awkward to use David when it's just the two of them. I will be using David when the are at the company or during his conversation with others! Happy reading ????♥️

”Where do you think you are going?” •Adam•, still in his disguise, tried to keep up with her as she was walking too fast to his liking and that too in heels. Though they weren't too high and had a broad base, but he was still in his overprotective mode.
The duo was roaming around the mall because Stella had demanded to do so. They had left the office early today because his lady wanted to roam around the mall and do some shopping before going to the hospital. He tried to change her mind by saying that he could go on his own and grab whatever she would like for her, but the woman was too persistent about doing it herself. So, here they were now, roaming around just like the way his wife wanted.
”Why are you walking so slow?” She questioned the man as her steps came to a halt before a huge outlet of an international fashion house.
”You are the one who's walking too fast.” He glared at the woman who was standing before him. No one in their right frame of mind, would believe that his wife was pregnant with two children, when she was herself behaving like one.
”Nope, it's you who is slow.” She gave him a side glance and spoke up before walking into the outlet which had floor to ceiling glass walls with a couple of mannequins standing on one side, adorning a bunch of mesmerizing dresses for display.
”Since when did you become fond of shopping?” He followed her inside and questioned her with an annoyed expression, which was soon replaced by a bright smile when he caught her looking around the newborn's section.
”Yes, I hate shopping. But who do you think will shop for our twins if not us? They surely can't do it themselves.” She spoke up absent-mindedly as all of her attention was fixed on the racks which were filled with a variety of clothes from newborn babies.
”I did some research a while back, they have the best clothes for newborns in whole of Germany. That's why we are here.” She spoke up as she continued to move from one rack to the other.
•Adam• hummed in response as he continued to follow her, making sure to stay right behind her in case she needed his help. A frown marred his forehead when he saw her only focusing on the boys section.
”Why are you only looking at these?” He questioned her only to get a shrug in response as the woman before him carried on with whatever she was doing. ”Stella?” He called out to her when he didn't get a response.
”Because I know that both of our twins are going to be boys.” She finally bothered to reply to him with a smug look on her face.
”What if both of them are girls?” He questioned her. He stepped a bit closer to her and wrapped his left arm around her lower back. Pulling her closer to himself, he tried to get her attention. ”Are you going to ignore me just like this after our babies are born?” He pursed her lips and complained to her about the way she was barely giving him any response.
His words finally made her shift her attention from the clothing rack to him. She giggled lightly as she raised her free hand up to his face and pinched his cheek lightly. ”I was just having a look at them, you big baby.” She tiptoed and placed a feather like kiss on his chin. ”Let's go and have a look at those.” She pointed her finger towards the other side of the section where a bunch of racks were filled with pink baby clothes.
The corners of his pursed lip turned upwards as a bright smile graced his face. He pressed his thin lips on her forehead before shaking his head sideways. ”Nah! Let's look at these first.” He pointed his chin in the direction of the rack they were standing next to.

The duo walked out of the store with a bunch of shopping bags in their hands which were filled with baby clothes in every shade of pink and blue. •Adam• wanted to carry all of them on his own, but Stella didn't let him have his way. His shoulder was doing much better now but it still wasn't completely healed. There was no way she would let him carry any weight until he had completely recovered.
”Why didn't you get anything for your own self?” •Adam• questioned her as the store had clothes for women as well but she didn't even bother to even glance in their direction. 'She better start spending money on her own self as well.' He made a mental note to give her a thorough scolding regarding the matter later on when it would be just the two of them.
”I already have enough clothes back at home.” She replied to him without looking in his direction.
”Ughhh!” He groaned in annoyance. He was about to drag her inside one of the shops they were passing by but stopped himself when an idea popped in his mind as his eyes landed on a high-end jewellery shop across them.
