Chapter 96: Ch 96: A mountain of Excuses - Part 2

’What do I say to Noah now? What would be a good excuse to make up for my situation? Is there anything I can even ask him? Will he understand my situation? Or would I end up making it worse for myself?’

Anabella’s mind felt like a mess that she wanted to sort out. She tried to open her mouth, but words escaped her vocabulary.

Instead, she decided to remain quiet until Noah brought up this topic, and she remained tense that whole time.

However, Noah did not bring up this topic even once. He smiled at Anabella before he drove her to the supermarket, just as she had asked him to.

Not only that, but the alpha also carried all the stuff to the car and even opened the door to let Anabella inside before he put all that material he bought into the vehicle’s backseat.

"You don’t have to be that careful with my stuff, Noah. Just put it into the back storage for now. There is no need to strain your beautiful backseats for these vegetables."

Anabella spoke softly as she leaned at her side to check what was happening.

Seeing those vegetables covering the back seat and its expensive leather made her bite her lip in agitation. She felt guilty for forcing Noah to do this to her expensive car.

"Don’t worry about it. A few vegetables will not harm anyone, and I doubt anyone would notice any strains, even if any were to be left behind. I also need to get this car deep cleaned in a few days, so it worked out.

Who knows what else has that seat seen in the past few months."

Noah spoke in a soft and assuring voice. But hearing him speak made Anabella’s face flame. She had heard Noah’s words, and her mind had turned to dirty thoughts to justify what had been said.

Her face went red as she tried to calm her heart down.

’Stop thinking dirty thoughts. Even if Noah and Clair like to have sex in such unorthodox places, it is not something I need to worry about. I need to get my head out of the gutter.’

Anabella scolded herself, but that did not mean she could control her emotions. In agitation, she bit her lip, and before she knew it, she had a wound on her lips.

Noah did not look at her until he stopped his car at his stop and looked at her face.

His eyes instantly landed on Anabella’s lip, and he looked concerned and annoyed.

"Did you bite your lip so hard that it bled like this? This is not a good thing to do, Bella. Do not hurt yourself next time like this, or you will end up making me angry.

And seeing me angry is the last thing you want to do. Do you understand me?"

Noah spoke softly, but his eyes looked harsh. He leaned closer to Anabella, but his body blocked any view from outside.

Anabella’s side was parked against the wall, so it was impossible to tell who was inside the car when Noah covered her tracks like this.

Looking at the older alpha made Anabella feel nervous. She thought she needed to say something, but her words refused to work when she tried to express them.

Seeing Anabella struggle like this made the alpha feel a sense of accomplishment. He finally let go of her and pulled back.

"You should head back now. I think I got my point across to you. Also, remember—do not hurt yourself because I do not like to see you get hurt. I will see you later."

Noah spoke softly before he pulled back and opened his door. He got all the groceries out of his car and handed them to the guard at the front door before he pointed toward Anabella.

She felt responsible and quickly got out. She followed Noah, and the guard looked at her with an uncomfortable expression.

It was clear that he did not want to be associated with her, but as long as Anabella was a master of this house, he could not ignore her either.

In the end, the guard just sighed and resigned to his fate of being the one to carry the glossaries.

"I will see you later, Bella. Call me if you need anything."

With those last few words., Noah returned to his car and drove away.

"Madam, who was that man, and how do you know him? He was a dominant alpha, right? How did you even meet one? Do you know what he does? He must be influential since he is the dominant alpha! You should certainly chase him and form a relationship with him-!"

"Take these to my side of the house and put them in the inner pantry near the newly constructed kitchen. You better hurry up, or I will have you replaced."

Anabella threatened the guard before he could finish speaking.

It covered her message that she was unhappy with this man and made him force himself to shut up.

He realized he had made a mistake egging Anabella more than he should have. He had made the female become enraged with his words.

"I understand, Madam. Your stuff will be placed in your room soon. Please, don’t worry too much about this stuff."

The guard changed his tone as soon as he was threatened. He realized that even if it looked as if Anbaella had no control of power in this house, she was someone important.

He quickly gathered this stuff and brought it to the area Anabella asked him to. The guard was sure his master’s mistress, Sharon, saw him get everything inside, but she did not follow him to see where he put it all.

That was why, when Sharon opened the fridge to get fresh stuff to cook dinner with, she was stunned to see that it was empty.

She was sure she had seen the guards being baskets filled with groceries inside an hour before, but where had those groceries disappeared?
