gan's POV
"Did your father ask about ?" I asked Axel as I held his hand and walked inside our house. And I couldn't deny I felt so hurt when I saw my son shake his head, and I tried to smile widely at him the mont he looked up at even if I could feel the piercing of my heart as I confird my suspicion that Ashton doesn't want to see .We ate our dinner, and Axel couldn't stop talking about his dad and I smiled as I realized he looked so happy. I helped my son with his assignnts while my mind was thinking about Ashton the entire ti.
"Mom, can I have a sleepover in dad's house?" Axel asked as I tucked him in bed, and his question took off guard.
"It depends, Axel. And I need to talk with your father first." I responded, and he grinned at .
"Okay, I will ask dad to co over tomorrow." He said, and I suddenly felt worried because I didn't know how to face Ashton again after I hurt him when I sided with Gael instead of him. Now that I have allowed Ashton to be part of Axel's life, I am aware that I can't just say no to Axel regarding his dad since I gave Ashton the right to know our son.
"Axel, your father, is a busy man, and I don't think he has ti to co and speak with ." I declared since I didn't want him to get disappointed if Ashton wouldn't talk with .
"No, mom, dad said, he has all the ti for ." My son replied, and I couldn't hide the smile that appeared on my face thinking Axel felt so confident about Ashton having all the ti for him.
"It would be nice if he could drop by, but I don't want you to get disappointed, Axel. There are monts when your father couldn't get out from his office on ti because so of his clients or employees needed his presence in the company." I declared.
"I understand, mom, but I know I can trust, dad; even if he gets busy, he will always find ti for , and that is his promise to ." He replied, and I nodded at him.
"Of course, Axel, I know your dad will do his best to spend ti with you," I responded, and my son's face lit up.
"How about you, mom? Can you spend so ti with dad and ?" My son asked, and I coughed since I was surprised by his questions even though my answer would always be yes, but since the day I requested Ashton to leave my house, I felt worried about how to face him ever again.
"Axel, I always wanted to spend ti with you, and you know that," I replied.
"How about, dad?" He asked again, and I knew he would not stop bombarding with questions unless I answered him.
"Of course, I love spending ti with your father," I replied, and my son grinned at , and I don't feel guilty because it is the truth; I love to spend more ti with Ashton.
"Can you ask dad to co and sleep here with us, mom?" Axel asked again, and this ti I found it hard to answer his question.
"I don't think it would be the best idea, for now, Axel, since your father needs to go to his office early, and galopre is far from Majuscule, you can't just ask your dad to co over here with us." I proudly said.
"I know, mom, but dad has a helicopter, and it would be easy for him to co here, and it would be quick." He said, and my eyes turned so big.
"Did he tell you about it?" It was my turn to ask him a question, and his eyes twinkled with happiness as I looked into his eyes that reminded so much of his father.
"Yes, Dad made ride with him in his chopper." He said, and I couldn't believe Ashton would do sothing like that without my knowledge. I am glad that he finds ti to be with Axel, but he should have asked before he started visiting my son. The pain intensified as I realized Ashton avoided since he never contacted after what happened.
And I hate that I couldn't stop myself from reliving the hot lovemaking we shared, and I couldn't deny how much I miss him. And I know it was my fault, but he should try to understand that Gael is forever part of our lives since he was the one who helped by the ti Ashton abandoned while I was pregnant with our children.
It may be hard for Ashton to accept Gael. Still, he needs to understand without the singer, my life would have been difficult, and sothing might happen to us if he didn't offer his ho for us at that ti; and I even lost my daughter because of my sadness after Ashton hurt terribly.
And I couldn't deny I was in pain the mont he stopped communicating with , even before I learned I was pregnant with his children. Gael and Alice were the ones who made surpass the hardships that I have been through, especially when I beca a mother, and losing Abigail was the hardest part.As I watched the sleeping figure of my son, I couldn't stop myself from smiling while I caressed his face, and I released a heavy sigh before I got up and got out of his room on my tiptoes since I didn't want him to wake up.
"Hey, gan! I have been calling your trunk line number, but you weren't answering. I thought you went outside, and now I understand why, and I couldn't believe I would find you looking into space." Alice declared.
"You can't fool , g. You are not looking at the view below. You are still thinking about Ashton." Alice added, and I slowly turned my head at her.She was correct; I was looking over my office window, and I knew she was right; I wasn't looking at anything since Axel's dad occupied my mind, and I couldn't stop myself from reliving the sweet monts we shared, especially the way Ashton kissed and hugged .
"I needed to do sothing for Axel, and I needed to lower my pride once and for all since I know Ashton, and I need to talk," I said, and I narrated to her the conversation I had with my son the other night."I told you, but you won't listen to . Your son is intelligent just like you and his father, and you can't lie to Axel, gan." She responded.
"I know, but I am so confused right now, and I couldn't deny I missed Ashton so much. What should I do, Al?" I asked.
"You know his ho and office address, g, and you hurt Ashton. I guess it is about ti you should apologize to him. It has been one week, and I don't want to see you this way again." Alice responded.
"I thought everything was perfect when we were at the retreat center; how could everything turn out this way? You looked miserable again; you were smiling when we left the camp, and now it seed like you are carrying the world on your shoulders." She added.
"Do you think he will talk with ?" I asked, and she gave a reassuring smile as she nodded her head."Ashton would be so happy to see you, g." She continued as I felt my face turn warm, and I knew just thinking about Ashton would make have the knots on my stomach.
"Okay, I will co to his office this afternoon," I said, and Alice's face lit up, and I know she is so excited for and Ashton to get back together, and I understand my best friend is inspired since she is falling in love with Ashton's best friend.
"Go! Forget everything and for once, focus on the things that can make you happy, gan." She replied, and I was smiling like an idiot, and even if I felt anxious, I couldn't deny my excitent to see Ashton overshadowed the fear I have right now.I kept myself busy after my best friend left my office since I wanted to finish checking the docunts on my table before going to Ashton's office.I took a deep breath before I stood up and pulled my blazer from the back of my chair. And I put it on, and I couldn't believe I would feel so conscious about what I am wearing when I know I will only go to Ashton's office to talk about our son and not about us.
"Good luck, gan!" Alice blurted out the mont I ca across with my best friend on the elevator.
"Thank you, Al," I responded.
"Wow! It seed like you were preparing yourself to et your boyfriend because you are wearing make-up." Alice said as she noticed my face, and I blushed since she was right; I wanted to look beautiful in front of Ashton.
And it felt so lovely to think that I am still Ashton's girl even if he didn't communicate with for one week, and I was hoping he was still my boyfriend, and he will forgive for what I have done to him.I was rehearsing what I wanted to tell Ashton, but I couldn't stop my limbs from shaking when I arrived at the parking lot of his building. I quickly climbed out of my car before I chickened out.
"Do you have an appointnt with Mr. Pritzgold, Miss?" The receptionist asked, and my mouth hung open since I realized I had to call him first before seeing and talking with him.
"No, but you can tell him it is gan," I said, and she was looking at from head to toe."I am sorry, gan, many girls co here and introduce themselves, but the sa thing will apply to you; you can't et Mr. Pritzgold unless you have a prior appointnt. You may leave now." She said, and I wanted to insist that Ashton would talk with once he knew it was .
But I don't want the receptionist to tell if I am that close with Ashton. He should be the one to et at the reception area. I turned around after I mumbled my thanks, and I was shocked to see Claire walking gracefully towards the receptionist.
"Good morning, Claire!" The receptionist greeted Clair warmly, and I couldn't take my eyes away from Ashton's ex as I looked at her gorgeous body; and she looked so beautiful wearing a fitted dress that hugged her body perfectly.
"Good morning, Jessica. Is he there?" She sweetly asked."Of course, Mr. Pritzgold will always have ti for you." The receptionist replied, and I realized Ashton's ex-fiancee looked so stunning.. And I walked back to the parking lot with a broken heart.
