Carrying His Heir While Fighting His Lies novel Chapter 25

Ava'S POV

What is wrong with both of them? Did they fight over something? I guess I must talk to them later.

"I am fine. Nathan, thanks for asking. By the way, are you guys going somewhere?" I asked, looking at them all, ready to leave.

"Yeah, we are leaving for Philadelphia for the meeting." He said this, looking at his watch. "I think we should leave now, but before we leave, can I talk to you privately?" He asked, looking at Blake.

Yeah, sure," I said. I got up and started walking towards the garden with him.

I saw Sam coming behind, but intentionally, she was walking slowly and giving Nathan time to talk to me.

What is wrong? Now I am dying to know the problem between them.

We stopped near the chair, and I asked, "What is it, Nathan? Something is wrong between you and Sam." I saw Sam standing far away from us, talking to someone over the phone.

I know she is just acting.

"Do not worry about that first, you tell me. Will it be okay if we go to a meeting? Or else Sam can stay here with you. I do not want to leave you here all alone." Nathan spoke in a concerned manner, and I know how much he cares for me.

Holding his hand, I said, "I am fine, Nathan; do not worry. Blake can do anything, but he will never harm me. I am safe here." I assure him.

"I know. Despite that, I do not feel like leaving you here. Are you sure you will be fine?" He asked again.

"I am sure not to worry. We are just a call away. So do not worry, just go already." I assured him.

He nodded, still not looking convinced.

"Now tell me, what is wrong between you two?" I asked, looking at Sam's pale face.

"Can we talk about this later, or maybe once we are back? Right now, I do not want to talk, Ava," he said, rubbing his hands on his face.

I can see he is frustrated. But right now, I do not want to push it hard, so I let it pass.

Ok, then, I'll take your leave. I will be back in two days." He said one go looking at his phone while giving me a quick hug.

I nod again.

He started walking and went towards the car without giving Sam a single glance.

Sam came to me and said, "Ava, will you be okay here, right?"

"Yeah, I am Sam; do not worry. What is wrong with you and Nathan?" I tried my luck.

"Well, let us not talk about that right now. He is waiting for me. I will call you at night once I am free," she replied, looking at the car Nathan was in.

"I will wait," I said, hugging her.

They both left, and I sat back at my place, looking at the beautiful, lush green garden.

When I was here, I always saw this garden from afar. I never came to this site. The chilly breeze was kissing my skin, giving me goosebumps a little, and the smell of roses was so alluring. This place is more beautiful because of the water fountain in the middle of the garden. The swans were pretty, and the little swan's wings were so cute running around.

I still cannot believe Blake has made this heaven. How can a ruthless man be so creative and thoughtful?

I gulped inaudibly and greased my dry throat a little.

This guy always made me thirsty and wet.

His one hand was on my knees and the other was on my back, behind my chest area, but his fingers were dangerously close to my breast, or, let us say, touching my breast from the sides, and I was feeling hot, like boiling, and my face was heating.

"You can tell me directly when you want to come to my arms, honey; you do not have to pull this act." He spoke, coming way too close to me.

I could feel his hot breath on my face, and he brushed his lips intentionally down my cheeks.

I bit my lips to control my smile but failed big time because I heard his chuckle.

God, this is so embarrassing.

I felt my body land on a soft surface while I dared to open my eyes.

I took turns, hid my face in my pillow, and heard a laugh, which I could die for.

I felt his lips on my hair. "Sleep baby, I will be around if you need anything." I said I felt a comforter on me and heard the door closing sound.

‘Gosh, it was so embarrassing. Why did I let him hold me? Now I am sure he will tease me till I die.'

‘But well, let us sleep. This bed is comfy. I will handle everything when the time comes.' I thought I went into a deep slumber.
