Chapter 195
Ava’s POV
“I don’t know, I didn’t get it last month too and I know that we haven’t spoken about having a child yet which is why I’m telling you about it now…”
“Ava!” Mason’s growl made me swallow whatever it is I wanted to say next as I stared at him with fear written all over me.
I was rushing my words like anyone was going to do something horrible to me if I didn’t tell him as fast as I could but it was only because I was really scared.
What if he doesn’t want a baby yet? I know he loves me so much but what if he isn’t ready?Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
I’d also planned to take a test but I also didn’t want to find out I’m pregnant alone, I want him to be there with me every step of the way and the fact that he hasn’t even said anything since he called my name was killing me.
“It’s fine, we’ll go to the clinic after work today and we’ll find out if you’re pregnant or not,” he started with a smile on his lips as he took my hand in his.
“You don’t have to be scared or rush your words while talking to me. I’m just as ready as you are to have a baby.” He finished, laughing at me before pulling me into him.
Relief swept over me and as surprising as it was that he took the news well, I also knew my husband and I know he’ll do anything for me.
Leaving for work, we decided to stop at Khalid’s grave site first before we went and when we got there, Mason held my hand so tight that he didn’t want to let go, his lips quivered and I could tell that he was living the moment he lost his son again.
“I miss you so much, Khalid. Daddy misses you so much.” He repeated, his voice breaking and soon the tears he was trying so hard not to shed came flowing down his cheeks.
He kept talking to Khalid about the good things that happened since he died and how he was right about me being a beautiful bride.
It was sad yet beautiful to see Mason talking to Khalid as if he were here, “you should’ve been there, I wanted you to hold the rings.” He cried and I knew that he couldn’t take anymore of standing there talking to Khalid.
Consoling him, I reminded him that Khalid was in a better place and he should at least be happy about that.
“He’s no longer in pain and I’m sure he knows how much you love and miss him and if you could change what happened, he knows you will.” I consoled as Mason sniffled and cried on my shoulder.
After a while of standing there silently, we left and decided to go to my father’s burial site since it’s not quite far from where Khalid was buried.
Happily, I told my father everything that happened at the wedding, how Danny walked me down the aisle, how I had my first dance with Danny and how hard he’s trying to be a good father figure to me.
“The glint in your daughter’s eyes, the smile whenever she talks about things she loves,” Mason started as he held my hand in his and pulled me into him like he wasn’t mourning his son minutes ago.
I love and admire how strong he can be.
“I’m making a promise to you now, Sir, now that we’re married I’m gonna make sure that none of that disappears.” He promised and also sealed his promise by planting a kiss on my lips.
He gave me sometime to talk to my father alone which I did and after that we both decided to go to work.
We had tons of work to do and Mason immediately started while I went with his secretary to see one of the investors I was supposed to talk to.
We got there and after waiting for a while we were asked to go in. I noticed the liking the investor took to me and it was quite uncomfortable but I didn’t want to do anything rude yet.
“You see, we’re really going to make sure that you get your money’s worth considering how much waves this is making in the stock market…”
“Shush.” The investor has the audacity to put his disgusting finger on my lips to shun me. He kept making his silly advances and I had to put up with it because I really needed him to sign the contract in front of him.
“I’ll sign this and invest in the market,” he started as he picked up his pen and went through the document, “but that’s only because of you.” He finished as he scribbled his signature on the paper before moving it towards me.
Picking up the document, I stood to take my leave but his arm stopped me and turned me around to face him but before he could know what was going on I picked up the glass of water in front of me and splashed it on his face.
“You’re really lucky it’s water and not a burning hot coffee or you’d have gotten your face burnt because of your sheer foolishness.” I said through gritted teeth.
Anger washed through my veins like hot lava and the sight of him in front of me was so disgusting that I really wished that I could snap his head off his neck.
“The next time you try your trash with me I’m going to make sure I press charges and accuse you of assault and not just that, I’m also going to make sure that your reputation is ruined and you’ll spend the rest of your life in jail.” I finished.
He was either too shocked to speak or scared because he doesn’t want to rot in jail. Turning to take my leave.
“Wow! Seeing a woman take the lead like that! Did you see the shock on his face? I’m really proud.” Mason’s secretary smiled as she rained praises on me.
“It’s fine, just promise not to let Mason know about this.”
“I promise.”
