Chapter 238: Going On A Date

While he stood there frozen, she sauntered towards him, her every movement making it difficult to breathe for him. His eyes roved over her body, possessively and he noticed the missing glove.

In the next moment, however, his eyes narrowed as he saw the clear skin, no sign of the tattoo. His gaze jumped to her left, where the tattoo should have been visible but had been hidden.

Just then, she’d reached him and smilingly twirled," How do I look, Gaia?"

"Like you lost the rest of your clothing?" Demetri spoke sourly, realizing that the back of the romper was just that, almost missing.

He watched as she made a face at him and said," I needed a change from the usual. You’re just jealous."

Demetri’s eyes sharpened with interest. Something was definitely up with the girl today. There was a different lilt to her voice.

"Jealous? Why would I be jealous? The thing is, princess..." Demetri stepped forward as he started to talk, causing Eleanora to step back wide eyes as he continued," I would be jealous if you were mine and going out like this without me. But since you wore this for me... I am really appreciative..."

Nora glared at the man as she refused," Ha. You think too highly of yourself, Gaia. I said you must be jealous because you cannot wear something like this. And I DID NOT WEAR THIS FOR YOU! I am going out on a date. I just came to ask for your opinion. Male perspective and all that."

"A date?" Gaia repeated slowly... It seemed the Prince had not learned his lesson the last time. This time, instead of letting the man sit in the ditch, maybe he should bury him..." You wore this... for Prince Augustus?"

Eleanora stopped smiling at the name, scowling instead," Who? Why? Eww No! Why would you curse me like that! As if I would ever wear this thing for the Octopus Calendar Man."

Demetro frowned. If it wasn’t Augustus then could it possibly be Antonio? But he’d made sure to remind Alexander Sterling to get rid of the man...

"Okay. Thats enough. So this dress is good enough, in your opinion. Now, I’m off. Bye, Gaia."

Blowing a flying kiss his way, Eleanora turned to walk away. However, before she could have walked a few steps away, he walked forward, blocking her way almost causing her to walk straight into him.

Glaring up at him, Eleanora stepped back and raised an eyebrow," Why are you stepping into my path?"

Demetri answered with a question of his own," Who are you going out with? Antonio?"

Eleanora scoffed again at that, "Antonio? He came to meet me here but then disappeared suddenly. I don’t even know where he is. Also, how is it your concern who I am going out with?"

Eleanora pouted her lips stubbornly at that. Demetri watched her face and sighed. It did not matter whether she had her memory or not. She really knew how to set him off without saying anything.

Inhaling slowly, he uttered word by word, "Princess Eleanora, your safety is my responsibility. Please tell me who are you going out on a date with. Let us be reasonable in this..."

Though he said those words, inside Demetri was being anything but reasonable. He was already thinking of getting some Carnivorous plants for whoever she was going out with... He must have a few in the greenhouse back there...

Eleanora frowned before giving in," Well, I am going out with Demetri."

Demetri, who had been prepared to scoff at any name she took, ready to persuade her to drop the idea, was stunned. She was going out with him?

However, his thoughts were soon dispelled when she continued," Do you remember I was looking for someone the other night when you came calling? It was for my husband."

Demetri blinked at that, wondering if he’d lost something in his understanding. Had her memory returned? Just as he was about to hold her with happiness, she continued," You see, I know I have a husband called Demetri but I do not know where he is. So, I messaged a few people with the same name that night, asking them if they’d lost their wife. And one of them replied! Can you believe it?"

As Eleanora put on her brightest and most excited expression, she had to quickly turn away to suppress the laughter almost escaping her. If only she have recorded this expression of his! She could have such a picture over him as a threat all his life. He looked like a comical cartoon who had been hit with a hammer on the head.

Without looking at him, she bit her lip and continued," Anyway, I’ve decided to go and meet him. If he really is my husband, then I don’t have to worry about anything else...I’ll go with him, leaving all this fight for the throne behind. Also, do you know how handsome he is? If I show you his profile picture, you will agree that we are a perfect match. All those muscles... I just want to touch them so bad..."

Finally, the ever-patient Demetri burst out," No way are you going anywhere!"

But Eleanora was already prepared for this and quickly replied," No way are you going to stop me! I am going to go and get my husband!"

And just when Demetri would have marched forward, she raised her hand and ordered," Stop right there Gaia! If you dare to try and stop me, I will scream and that will ruin my uncle’s...I am going..."

"Princess Eleanora, please stop! Let me come with you! It is just not safe for you to just contact someone online and then go meet them. I’ll follow you at a distance."

Eleanora blinked at that. Now that was not what she had expected. But she realized she should have. Her husband was an expert at handling situation so it was natural he would know how to handle her calmly...Now what was she supposed to do... And just then an idea struck her..
