Ashton's POV
I admit fighting with Gael felt so good because I couldn't deny I hated him for almost hurting gan; he wanted her to love him back even if she already told him she could never love him. And it was frustrating because he didn't listen to her, and I couldn't believe he stayed even if gan asked him to leave, and watching him holding my son's hand scared .
I could tell Gael got so obsessed with gan, and he is no longer the Gael she once knew because his mind is now in chaos. After all, his heart is now enveloped with hatred and anger because of his jealousy and his will to have gan in his life. I was running beside gan, and I could see the worries on her face, and when she ceased running, she watched Gael talking with Axel.
"Hey, I know you are worried, but I think he won't hurt our son; I could see how much he adores Axel," I whisper in her ear as I stand behind her and I put my hands on her hips, and I felt gan relax a little.
"Of course, I knew that but I couldn't stop feeling so worried after what he had done to a while ago, and I felt so glad you ca." She softly said as I kissed her head.
"Yeah, I couldn't stop myself from worrying, and I wondered what took you so long to speak with him," I responded as we watched the host formally starts the program. I saw the principal co to the stage, and he was smiling as he delivered his opening remarks, and out of the corner of my eye, Axel was looking among the crowd, and I could tell our son was looking for us while he was sitting on Gael's lap.
"We need to be with Axel, now, g," I whispered, and she nodded her head. We excused ourselves as we made our way to our assigned table, and Axel's face lit up when he saw us, and he imdiately stood up from Gael's lap. I could see how his face darkened as he looked at while Alice was whispering with gan, and I could still see the bruises on Gael's face and his swollen eyes.
And I could see the curious look of the onlookers, and even if the principal was talking, I could see that all eyes were on us, and I wanted the activity to end soon so I could have ti alone with gan and Axel. Our son ca to , and he sat on my lap, and it felt so lovely, and it made feel more worried about Gael's reaction. I felt so glad Alice stood up and sat beside him, and how I wished she could make him leave, but I could tell Gael was determined to stay with us until the family day was over, and I realized this is a day to rember.
The ga started, and when the host asked the parents with their child to join the parlor gas, gan and I stood up, and Axel was so happy. Still, when Gael stood up from his seat, I could see the worried expression on gan's face, and I allowed him to be with them; I asked gan to play the ga with Gael since I didn't want him to make another scene.
"What is wrong with Gael, Ashton?" Alice asked imdiately after they left our table and made their way to the field where the ga would occur, and I released a deep sigh.
.
"I don't know what he was trying to prove, Al, gan asked him to leave, and we didn't expect him to proceed here; I thought he already left, and I can't leave them; I could feel he is planning sothing." I declared.
"Yeah, he was scaring , Ashton; even Axel could feel that sothing was going on with him," Alice responded, and I didn't take my eyes away from gan and Axel as I talked with Alice in a low voice.
"I want him to leave, but I am afraid if we will fight again in front of this crowd. We fought each other a while ago in front of your best friend, and I am not proud of what I have done because I hated violence, and I don't want to worry gan, but Gael left
no choice." I responded.
"No wonder he has black eyes. And he has so bruises on his face, while you look nothing had happened to you." She responded, and I chuckled.
"gan did sothing on my face, and that is why I am wearing shades; I don't want my son to know we fought," I said, and then the crowd cheers, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling as I saw Axel on the field running and jumping followed by gan as they joined the obstacle race. I felt proud that my son is fast like , and they are leading, and when the ga ended, I clenched my fists when I saw Gael hug them both.
"Ashton, I know you feel so angry right now, but please stay calm for Axel, and I just wanted to inform you gan is in love with you, and there is no way she will have Gael as her boyfriend, especially now that he started to show his true colors," Alice said. I nodded my head, and I did the most sensible thing to do; I excused myself from Alice before I could run and hit Gael's face.
I needed so fresh air to control my anger, and I made my way towards the school garden to release my frustrations with Gael. I don't know what I am going to do with him. I was looking at the butterflies circling the flowers, and I smiled as I rembered the incredible life cycle of the butterfly.
"Hey! I thought you left us!" I heard gan's soft voice, and when I turned my head, I found her walking gracefully towards .
"I need to leave, or else I will end up punching Gael's face again, and I can't do that in front of our son; I know he adores Gael," I responded, and she gave a weak smile.
"Thank you, Ashton, for your understanding. I know I should have never invited Gael in the first place since you and I are back together. I am truly sorry, and I didn't realize sothing like this would happen." She said, and I shook my head.
"It wasn't your fault, g, he is in love with you, and his jealousy is getting in the way; I know Gael wanted to be there for Axel, but he can't accept you are mine again," I said, and I moved closer to gan while I never take away my gaze from her lovely face. She was laughing so hard when I almost stumbled on the ground.
"You should co back with , Ashton." She said.
"I don't think that is a good idea, g, and it hurts to see you with him and Axel. I'd rather stay here to avoid confusion, and I don't want them to wonder why I wasn't the one playing with you when I am Axel's father." I responded, and she smiled at .
"He is gone, I begged Gael to go and take good care of his wounds, and I felt so glad he finally listened to ." She declared.
"What did you bargain with him?" I asked, and I could see the guilt on her face.
"How did you know he asked sothing from ?" She asked while I could see the surprised look on gan's face.
"I know his personality, gan; he will never leave unless you promise sothing to him," I said.
"He asked to have a date with him on Valentine's day." She said, and my eyes widened in shock.
"What?" I asked in a loud voice, and I hated that I couldn't control my emotions anymore. And I couldn't believe gan was laughing at that I could see tears that welled up in her eyes as she continued to laugh.
"You think that is funny, Ms. Corteza? You are telling you will be having a date with another man on Valentine's day?" I asked, and she was shaking her head.
"I know it wasn't funny, but I was laughing with your reactions; I was kidding, Ashton. Do you think I will do that?" She asked, and my face fell.
"Don't joke sothing like that, g, that is not funny; you know how much I hate it to see you with another man." I declared, and her smile widened.
"Good to know then, and I would like to tell you the sa thing, and you don't have to worry, I didn't have a deal with Gael. I only told him he should take good care of his bruises, and he apologized to ." She said, and I raised my eyebrows, unable to believe Gael said sorry.
"Yeah, and he told he wants us to be friends," gan added, and I wanted to tell her Gael was lying, but I didn't want to hurt her feelings. We returned to the venue holding hands, and I smiled when I couldn't find Gael anymore, and Axel ran towards us when he saw us coming. I couldn't stop smiling when he hugged right away.
"Dad, you need to join us with the next parlor ga." He said excitedly, and I nodded my head at him feeling so excited to play with him and gan.
"Of course, son, I am excited," I said, and he grinned at while I heard his mother giggle.
We won so many gas that made my son so exhausted but happy as the family ended. We received many prizes that Axel found hard to carry on his chest. I felt overwheld with happiness as I drove my car, and I could see Axel was sleeping on the back seat while gan was massaging my hand.. And even if Gael tried to ruin our day, we still ca ho to gan's house with happy faces, and I felt glad the family day ended successfully.
