Chapter 57

We are at the children's section, and Sophie couldn't stay put. So many toys and beautiful dresses surround her. Liam told her to pick everything she likes, and her face lit up like a Christmas tree. We watched our little girl grabbed anything she sets her eyes on.

Liam had his arms around my shoulders, and my arm is around his waist. I felt him kissing me on the head from time to time. I looked up at him with a smile, and he kissed my forehead and nose. The salesladies in that store swooned at our public display.

I even heard others say how lucky I am to have such a handsome and loving husband. Instead of getting mad, I am feeling proud. Our daughter ran back to us and dragged us to the toys section. She wanted the big dollhouse and begged her father to buy it for her.

Of course, Liam agreed and bought her the dollhouse. Next, we went to buy her clothes, from casual clothes to pajamas and shoes. After buying everything she wants, we went to the cashier to check out.

Liam placed Sophie on top of the cart and snaked his arm around my waist. Some of the customers are looking at us with a smile. One particular woman turned to us and said.

" You two looked good together, and you make such a beautiful child." She smiled and looked at Sophie adoringly. We thanked her looked at our daughter lovingly. We sure did make a beautiful child.

At the cashier, the one behind the counter keeps on glancing at Liam and blushed. I turned to Liam and raised my brows at him teasingly. He furrowed his brows at me and kissed me right in front of the girl.

I was so shocked, and my cheeks felt hot. The girl blushed even more, and so did I. I hit his arm and pouted. He just laughed at me and kissed my forehead.

After paying, Liam told us to go inside the women's section and wait for him. He will put Sophie's toys and clothes in the car first so that we won't have to carry so many things. I held my daughter's hand and went inside.

I really don't need to buy anything, but Liam insisted. I looked around the store and went straight to the jeans section. Maybe I should one or two new jeans. Then we went to the casual dresses, something I can wear to school or dinner.

My daughter helped me choose and asked me to try them on. The saleslady suggested shoes for each clothes, but I declined. I am just a simple girl with simple needs. I don't really need to dress to impress. We were on our way to the fitting room when a woman bumped into me.

I almost lost my balance and crushed Sophie, but an arm held me steady. When I looked up, it was Liam, and he was frowning. I looked at the woman, and she just smirked instead of saying sorry.

" You really should look where you're going, or you might end up getting hurt." She said with a fake smile, then turned to Liam and gave him a flirty smile. Liam, on the other hand, tightened his hold on me and picked up Sophie.

" I think you should be the one to look at where you are going, Miss. It's impossible you didn't see my wife and my daughter." Liam gave the woman an irritated stare and turned to me, " are you okay, baby?"

" Yeah, I'm fine, babe. I was just caught off guard." I answered him and reached for my daughter's hand.

" Are you okay, sweetheart? Mommy didn't step on your toes?" I asked her and kissed her hand.

" No, mommy, daddy pulled me out of the way and caught you." She answered in her little voice and buried her head in her father's neck. I turned to the woman and glared at her.

" Next time you want to go for a stroll, do it in the park. I was in the right lane. You are the one who came out of nowhere." I told her and looked at her with daggers in my eyes.

" Well then, I'm sorry. I am new in this town, and I was looking around. I am the new psychiatric doctor in Glendale Hospital." She answered haughtily, then turned to Liam, dismissing me.

" I think I saw you there last night. You're the Pediatrician, Dr. Jones, right? I'm Doctor Paige Johnson, " she extended her hand to Liam to shake,  clearly flirting with him, and I didn't like it.

" Yes, I am. This is my fiance, Arabella, and our daughter Sophie." He replied dryly. He did not accept her hand, which made her smile awkwardly.

" Baby, are you done with your shopping? We'll grab lunch first before going to the zoo." He asked me. I nodded and smiled. I decided not to try the ones I picked up and pay for it directly, instead. I want to get out of here right away and get rid of this disrespectful doctor.

" I'm on my way to the cashier, babe, to pay," I told him. He nodded and pushed me softly forward and totally ignored the doctor. He put down Sophie and took his card to pay for my clothes. I refused, but he gave me a stern look, so I gave in.

I can feel the woman's eyes on my back, so I looked back at her. She is staring daggers at me, and when Liam turned around, she gave a fake smile again. What a bitch! I raised my brows at her and stared her straight in the eyes.

Liam took the bags and guided us out of the store without giving a glance at the woman. I stole a glance at her, and I can see she is seething in anger. I raised one brow and smirked at her. Then I held unto Liam's arm and looked up at him.

He looked down at me and kissed my waiting lips so tenderly. I don't know what came over me, but I am not letting any slut flirt with my man and disrespect me.

The old Bellaa would cower and cry in the corner. But, I am a new Bella. I went to hell and back, just to be with the man I love, and I'll be damn if I let any woman take him away from me again.

We put the bags in the trunk then left the mall. We are heading for the restaurant to eat before going on our adventure in the zoo. Sophie is so excited to see the animals. This is her first time to go to a zoo and see live animals she only saw on tv and in books.

Liam had a soft smile on his face and held my hand while the other was steering the wheel. I want to see that smile on his face forever. He turned to glance at me when he felt I was staring and winked at me. I giggled and felt him kissed my hand. I want this. I want to stay like this always.
