"Baby, we'll look for baby clothes first okay?"
Alexa's thoughts were split when Dominic asked her opinion. Alexa just nodded, she let Dominic take her into the baby shop on the first floor of the large mall.
"Welcome Mr. Dominic. Is there anything we can help you with?"
Seeing the mall owner come alone to their shop, the shop assistant was shocked and immediately walked towards the door to welcome the group. Dominic nodded, his eyes looking satisfied at the completeness of this baby shop, which is known to have the best quality.
"My wife and I will have a child soon. We don't know the gender yet, so help my wife choose things that both baby girls and boys can wear."
The shop assistant couldn't help but be surprised when they heard Dominic's orders. They never knew that the beautiful woman holding Dominic's hand was Dominic's wife, whose identity had always been hidden. Now they know why Dominic always keeps his wife to himself. Alexa exudes an aura that makes people amazed when they first meet her.
"Um, can we start looking?" Alexa scolded when she realized that her husband was starting to frown at the shop assistant, who was staring at her without blinking.
"Of course. Please forgive me, Mrs. Rutterford."
Realizing that their behavior had offended Dominic, one of them immediately bowed and apologized. The others followed until Dominic slowly neutralized his expression again when Alexa gave him a 'just forgive them' look.
"This is a product that just arrived in our store yesterday. This crib is a smart crib that has an automatic vibration feature that relaxes the baby, a blue night light that is easy on the baby's eyes, a video monitoring system, and air circulation to keep your baby cool in the summer. Plus, it not only takes care of your baby, but also takes care of you, thanks to its lifting system, so you don't have to suffer from back pain from bending over. " One of the shop assistants explained. Alexa studied the crib for a long time, before glancing at Dominic to ask for her husband's opinion.
Dominic smiled when he saw his wife's reaction. "Do you like it? I will buy whatever you like. You can even choose something more expensive than this. I will give you everything, Baby," said Dominic in response. Alexa looked at the crib again, before calculating whether it would be a good idea to buy a crib that expensive just for the baby.
"I can show you another crib, Mrs. Rutterford. If you like another reference," they kindly offered her. Alexa shook her head. Now, she had made her choice.
"I just want this one. We still need to look for other things, Dom. We don't need to think long about just a crib. Our child won't use it for too long either," answered Alexa confidently. Dominic smiled proudly at Alexa's choice. It turns out that even after getting married and having a husband who will grant whatever she wishes, Alexa still tries to only buy what she needs without choosing too much and wasting time.
"Send the crib to my house with the other things later," ordered Dominic. "Yes, Sir," the shop assistant answered politely before calling another shop assistant to wrap the crib while the shop assistant returned to accompany Alexa and Dominic to choose other items.
"Oh my, who would have thought that I would meet Mr. Dominic in a place like this?"
Their trip was stopped when a woman dressed in glamorous clothes suddenly greeted them. Alexa knew that the woman was an acquaintance of Dominic's when her husband returned the greeting with a small smile. Alexa knew Dominic would never smile if the person in front of him was not someone close to him.
"Good morning, Mrs. Eliza. Are you shopping for Mark?" Dominic asked kindly. The woman nodded. In her hand, she was holding a robot toy that was about fifty centimeters big.
"Yes, her birthday will be soon. Ah, you must be Mrs. Rutterford, right? Dominic often talks about you."
Suddenly greeted by the woman, Alexa smiled. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Eliza," said Alexa politely. The woman called Eliza smiled. "Nice to meet you too, Mrs. Rutterford. Oh, are you pregnant? Congratulations to you. I hope the baby is born healthy," said Eliza when she could see Alexa's movements as she briefly rubbed her stomach.
"Ah, thank you, Mrs. Eliza," replied Alexa with a smile. Eliza waved her hand. "I think it's closer if you just call me Eliza, and I will call you Alexa. We don't seem to be that far apart in age," corrected Eliza kindly. Alexa nodded. "Okay, Eliza," she said, to which the woman nodded happily.
Alexa was quite relieved when Dominic's friend seemed friendly to talk to. Alexa thought it wouldn't matter if she was friends with Eliza, but she had never talked to anyone apart from those closest to Dominic.
"Oh yes, Gavin is planning to hold a birthday party for Mark next week. I hope you can come, you have to bring your beautiful wife this time, Dom," said Eliza to Dominic, who had only been silently watching Alexa's small interaction with one of her co-workers.
Receiving the invitation, Dominic responded with a smile. "We will try to come," Dominic answered politely. Eliza nodded in satisfaction. After she heard Dominic's satisfactory answer, the woman smiled at Alexa, before choosing to leave rather than disturb Dominic and Alexa's time together any longer.
"I will wait for your arrival there, Dom, Alexa," she said before continuing her trip. Dominic took a deep breath, before smiling again as he looked at Alexa.
"Are you tired? Should we rest for a while?" Dominic asked worriedly. Alexa shook her head. She held Dominic's arm as she invited the shop assistant who had been silent professionally behind them to lead the way again.
"No, I'm fine Dom," Alexa answered confidently.
After that, with the help of guidance from Dominic, they continued their shopping time again.
