Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 207

Helen's POV: 

After meeting Mandy in the dress shop, I completely lost my mood for shopping.

I was so pissed off that I stormed out of the store alone.

"Helen, wait for me.I'm coming with you!"

Fortunately, Daniel was smart enough to run out of the shop after me and hold my hand.

Seeing him act this way, my anger almost dissipated, but I deliberately pulled a long face and refused to look at him.

"Listen to me, Helen.There's nothing going on between me and Mandy.I've known her for so many years, but I've never had a crush on her at all.Her feelings are completely one-sided,"

Daniel explained, sounding flustered.

"Please don't misunderstand me, Helen."

"Well, I didn't misunderstand you."

I finally stopped walking and looked at him seriously.

"I trust you, Daniel.I just feel a little annoyed because she keeps showing up everywhere and pestering you."

"Just ignore her.That's how she is.I'll get a beautiful dress that's custom-made for you, okay? That silver dress won't even be a match for it!"

Daniel comforted me in a soft voice.

When I heard what he said, my face finally broke into an amused smile.

"Helen, what else do you want to do here? I'll take you to wherever you want.We're not going back home until you have enough fun, okay?"

Daniel continued to coax me with sweet words.

"Okay."

I hold his hand and smiled, finally giving in.

"I want to eat ice cream now!"

Daniel never said no to me.

As expected, he took me to an ice cream store nearby and went to the counter.

I took a seat at one of the cozy outdoor tables as I waited for him to come back.

After a while, Daniel came back.

I was shocked to see that he had bought ice cream of all the flavors.

"I don't know which flavor you like, so I just bought everything."

Daniel shot me a flattering smile as he put the ice cream in front of me.

I was both amused and touched by his actions.

Judging by the lengths he was going to make me feel better, it was obvious that he loved me very much.

"I like all of them, but you have to share them with me.It will be a waste if we can't finish everything," I said with a smile.

"Go on, dig in.I'll take care of whatever's left.It's a piece of cake for me,"

Daniel promised, patting his chest.

Suppressing a giggle, I scooped up a spoonful of ice cream and fed it to Daniel.

The weight on my chest was finally gone.

Happily eating ice cream together with him like this made me imagine our life after getting married.

I couldn't wait for that day to come.

While Daniel and I were having a pleasant conversation, another female voice suddenly cut in.

"Oh, what a coincidence! Helen, we meet again.Do you mind if I join you guys?"

Mandy appeared in front of us again with a big smile on her face.

Before I could answer, she pulled up a chair and sat next to Daniel.

"Oh, of course I don't mind,"

I replied politely without any change in my expression, but my good mood was ruined once again, and I couldn't help but secretly grit my teeth.

As soon as Mandy sat down, she grabbed Daniel's arm and launched into one of my annoying stories.

"Oh my God, Daniel.Do you know how much I miss our childhood? We used to play together all the time."

Mandy chuckled.

As she spoke, she kept her eyes fixed on Daniel and even leaned against him.

Then, turning to me, she casually continued, "Helen, has Daniel told you how much time we spent together as kids? Our favorite game to play was house.Every time, he would play the role of the husband, and I would play the role of the wife.Once, he even accidentally kissed me.I remember him being so shy that his cheeks turned red!"

As I listened to Mandy's nonsensical rambling, I subconsciously tightened my grip on the spoon.

Of course, I was no idiot; I knew that she was saying all this on purpose to get on my nerves.

However, I refused to give her the satisfaction of seeing me lose my temper.

"Oh, you were so close when you were children," I said expressionlessly.

"It's a pity that Daniel doesn't have time to play games with you anymore.Of course, Mandy, you can always find someone else to play with.After all, Daniel is my fiance.He won't play such boring games with you anymore."

I had to admit, I was burning with jealousy, and my true emotions bubbled up to the surface as I spoke.

I couldn't bear listening to her talk about her happy memories with my future husband.
