Chapter 239: We Meet Again

Walking ahead of him, Nora grinned but spoke crossly," I hope you are not thinking of being a chaperone on my date. If you dare to interfere, Gaia..."

Hearing the hopeful expression in her voice, Demetri felt his heart clench. At this moment, he wanted simply to catch her and hold her in his arms while claiming that he was her Demetri and to hell with the doctor’s advice. As for her... of course he couldn’t tell her that he would not interfere when the sole purpose of his going along with her was to do that.

Eleanora stopped suddenly, and while he noticed it, he was tempted to keep walking and use this opportunity to hold her. He would make her forget all about this online fake Demetri.

Turning to him, she narrowed her eyes at him, warning," Gaia, If you dare to interfere... promise me you won’t."

"I cannot promise any such thing, Princess. You do not even know the person that you are going to meet. I just think it’s risky to meet someone you found online. What if he’s not who he claims to be? Let me go there first and make sure..."

Eleanora rolled her eyes behind his back and harrumphed away with a walk," You will do no such thing. You’ll scare away my Demetri..."

At the way she purred his name, Demetri was tempted to take her into his arms and kiss the living lights out of her. Ultimately, he could only keep his silence and follow her to see who dared to impersonate him.

Eleanora dismissed the driver, smiling sweetly at him as she said," You can drive, Gaia? Can’t you?"

"Should’ve asked before you dismissed the driver to leave Princess Eleanora."

Taking the keys from her extended hand, Demetri opened the back door for her but was waved away to the driver’s side. Unfortunately, for him the little temptation decided to sit next to him. His jaw clenched, torn with frustration and worry. And that little romper riding up her thighs was not of much help.

Nora’s eyes twinkled with mischief as she stared at her husband who was concentrating on driving as if they were going to war. She looked away from him as tears threatened her. How could she have not recognized him?

She knew from all the therapy sessions with the doctor that her mind had probably suppressed all her memories because she had believed Demetri to be dead. And seeing him must have probably brought them back slowly. But they’d been separated for almost a year, without knowing what the other one was doing.

Other than confessing to him, she wanted to hold him, lay her head against his chest and question him how he was doing. His scars had healed but how much had he suffered? After Lara passed away, she’d thought that she would be able to live in peace and the fact that she could be with Demetri had been an added bonus. But now, she feared if she would ever be able to live peacefully with him.

Almost two years of knowing each other had passed and even now, it felt like yesterday when she’d met him. She rubbed her thighs together as she wondered what a roller coaster her life had bee with him. They’d been far apart from each other longer than they’d been together most of the time, and yet, nothing was more important to her than him.

Unexpectedly, Demetri started the conversation," This route is taking us to the outskirts, Princess Eleanora. Are you sure, this is the safe place?"

She could almost see the wheels in his head turning as he wondered what she was thinking. "Yes. As a matter of fact, I chose this place. Didn’t I tell you, I want to hug Demetri. And I want him to jump me and kiss me and..."

The man behind the wheel, who had been silently fuming, finally couldn’t contain his frustration any longer. His hands tightened on the steering wheel, and he spoke through gritted teeth. "Enough of this. I don’t want to listen to all this!"

After another hour of driving, Nora suddenly screamed," Stop stop stop..."

Demetri stepped on the brake hurriedly before turning to look back at the girl incredulously as she jumped off the vehicle," I’m going in here. You can come in later."

With a curse, Demetri looked around the quaint little place with no name and hurriedly parked the car, worried about Eleanora.

However, once inside, he could only look at her in disbelief.

With a grin, she turned to him and spoke," I told you my Demetri is the cutest. See? Isn’t he just great? I love you Demetri."

Never in his life had he ever dreamt that the girl he loved with every part of his soul would say the words he yearned to hear... to a dog who held the same name as him...

As she’d wished, the little pup Demetri in her arms, licked her face while squirming as if trying to get even closer to her.

This was probably his karma for naming the little dog at home Kitten.

With a big smile, she walked to him and extended the little puppy, in her hand to show him," Isn’t he the cutest? I’m going to adopt him since you refused to give me Kitten... But don’t worry, I’ll let him play with Kitten..."

Demetri rubbed his head and looked between Nora and the little dog," Are you sure you want him? Also, I thought you said Demetri was your husband... You gave the dog the same name as your husband?"

Nora paused at that and shook her head," Uh huh. Nope. See the paperwork they are filling out, his official name is going to be Demetri Frost the Second."

Demetri nodded absently as she walked away before his eyes widened and another comical expression covered his face. Covering the distance between them in two steps, he caught her elbow and quickly turned her around," Did you say Demetri Frost?"
