gan's POV
"Are you sure you want to spend your entire day with us?" I asked Ashton when he told he would take an ergency leave like , and I felt so happy knowing we would be spending ti together with my mom and dad.
"Yes, I already called my secretary to cancel all my prior engagents for today because I would be spending ti with my lady boss." He said, and he winked at while I couldn't stop from having the knots on my stomach as he looked at with intensity.
"I love that," I responded as I giggled.
"And I love you, Ms. gan Corteza." He replied, and I felt like I was on cloud nine.
We spent the entire morning bonding with my parents and catching up with them. And I realize how I miss having them around. And I couldn't thank Ashton enough for bringing my parents to galopre. My dad and Ashton are talking in the living room after lunch while mom and I are in their room talking about my father.
"gan, allow to say I am sorry that I wasn't able to defend you when you were pregnant. Your father was so angry, and I didn't know how to appease him, and I wanted to tell him that everything would be alright, but I was also devastated when I have learned about your pregnancy." My mom said while she sat beside at the edge of my bed, taking my hands.
"You have so many dreams in life that you wanted to achieve, and my heart was pierced when I realized all of your dreams will be gone to waste because you beca a mother at an early age." My mother added.
"But I should have known better; you are so smart and talented, and I should have given you the support that you needed. I admit I was so angry with you about why you didn't have birth control. I felt so guilty as your mother that I didn't remind you to be responsible always; I trusted you so much that I had forgotten I have responsibilities as your mom." She stated.
"I know you are mature with your age, but I should have rembered, you still needed even until now, I am sorry, g, and right now, I am so proud of your achievents." She mumbled as she caressed my face.
"Thank you, mom. You don't need to apologize; it was all my fault; I was young back then, but I was already an adult, and I should have been responsible. But you don't need to feel guilty because what happened in my life eight years ago made who I am today, and I don't have any regrets." I responded as I gave my mom a beautiful smile.
"Your grandson is a very charming little boy, mom, and having Axel in my life is one of the greatest gifts I have ever received in my life. I am so thankful for having you back in my life, and you know how I wanted to go ho, but I got so busy lately, and I am upset when you didn't show up during my son's seventh birthday." I said, and then I got up, and I walked towards the drawer of my vanity table and pulled up a jewelry box.
"I had been waiting for this opportunity to see you again, mom because I had been dying to give you this," I said as I handed her the box, and I could see the happiness on her face.
"I bought that on your fiftieth birthday; I wanted to co ho to Astikoz that day and bring Axel with , but I was so afraid if dad would not accept , and I don't want my son to be rejected," I said.
"Thank you, g," she said after she opened the box, and I could see the tears on my mom's face as she looked at the set of jewelry inside the box.
"I never expected you would give a parure," mom declared while she pick-up the necklace.
"I know how you wanted to have a set of jewelry, mom; every ti we will go to the mall, you will stop in front of the jewelry store and look at the display over the glass wall, and when I asked you to co inside you will only shake your head," I responded, and my mom hugged .
"Oh, gan, I never thought you would still rember those tis, you were so young back then, and I never told you I wanted to have them one day." She said, and I smiled at my mom after releasing from her embrace.
"Yes, you never ntioned even once that you wanted them, but I could see it in your eyes, mom, the way they twinkled every ti we passed by in a jewelry shop, and I made a promise to myself, I will buy you soday when I have the money," I answered.
"Your father and I are so lucky to have you and your siblings in our lives, and even if we weren't good parents to all of you, you still love us, and you provided us all the things we needed as we grow older." She replied, and I smiled at my mother.
"Mom, always rember, you are good parents to us, and we all love you." I said, and she asked to put on the necklace with a heart "MOM" diamond pendant on her neck.
"It looked so good in you, mom," I said while I couldn't stop myself from smiling.
"Thank you, gan; you don't know how happy I am right now, your forgiveness was enough, and this gift is a bonus." She declared, and I asked her to put the earrings and bracelet, and I was looking at my mother looking so happy as she put on her set of jewelry.
We all went together to pick up Axel from his school, and then we had dinner at one of the finest restaurants in Majuscule with Alice and her boyfriend, and I don't want this day to end. We talked and laughed, and it felt so lovely to be surrounded by your loved ones, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling as I felt Ashton's hand under the table caressing my thigh, and I held and squeezed his palm as I looked at him as his compelling eyes are gazing at .
"Thank you, Ashton; it still feels surreal that my parents are here," I softly said, and he leaned down and gave a quick peck on the lips.
"I will do everything for you, gan." He whispered in my ear after he kissed while I saw my son giggled, and I couldn't stop myself from having butterflies on my chest as I felt Ashton's warm breath on my earlobe.
We both woke up early the following day, and he helped prepare the food for our son; it was a lovely morning to spend with him. Dad and mom send Axel to school while we go on separate ways as we go to work, and it is ti to go back to reality, I know I will have a hectic schedule today, and I will be too busy even to text Ashton.
Ashton parked the car at the parking area of my office building, and he quickly got out to open the passenger's side. He helped climb out of the car, and he didn't allow to make a single step when he captured my mouth hungrily. We were kissing each other hungrily when we suddenly saw flashes of lights, and before we could make a move, we were surrounded by reporters, and Ashton covered with his body as he tried to take away from them.
"Ashton, is it true she is the reason why you broke up with Claire?" One of the reporters asked.
"Did you steal gan Corteza from Gael even if he was the father of gan's son?" A lady reporter asked, and I felt Ashton stop in his tracks, and he turned around to see them while he still covered my head with his suit jacket.
"I just one to make things clear, I am the father of gan's son, and I love the woman I have in my arms right now. gan is my first love and my only love." Ashton declared, and I heard the crowd gasp, and then they suddenly evaporated, and I realized Brent and his n secure the area. We walked towards my building, free from the reporters and carapersons following behind us.
"Wow! That was intense; all I could feel was your sweet lips on my mouth, and then there were sudden flashes of caras, and they surrounded us. I couldn't believe I would experience sothing like that in my entire life; I tried my best to stay away from your life as possible, but what can I do? You imprisoned my heart eight years ago, and even until now, I don't know where did you hide the lock of this prison cell you created for , but I admit, I don't want to get out either." I declared.
I could see the broad smile on Ashton's face as he pulled closer to him, and he kissed passionately without care that we were at the center of the lobby of my building. I don't care either, and for the first ti, I did sothing without thinking about my personal life will beco public as I kissed him back with longings.
All I could feel was the happiness in my heart as I felt his sweet lips on my mouth, and I couldn't stop thinking about Ashton's declaration of his love for in front of those reporters and caran.. And I don't care if they will criticize on the news as long as I know the truth about how much Ashton loves , and what matters now is I am in his arms, and I could feel his overflowing love for .
