Love In Between

74



Ava felt totally tired as she woke up the next morning. She was certain the maid had already dressed Chloe for school and decided to get set for work. The incident the previous day couldn’t get passed her head. What was more embarrassing was the news across the social media feeds. Everyone mocked her for being the reasons why Bruce and Andrew engaged in serious fight.

Ava had made up her mind that she was never listening to any of the clout chasers again. While she already pleaded with Andrew to keep his cool, Ava had vowed on taking the necessary actions against Bruce. The reason why she was scared was owing to the fact that she didn’t want to see Chloe around Bruce. The bond between a father and daughter would be sacred and this could mean fatal blow for as she loved Chloe herself.

Once Ava was set for work, she stepped out of her apartment. Ava wasn’t a car freak like most of her fellow CEOs would be. She had only settled for a car suitable for her. She turned on the ignition of the car and head out of the apartment.

When she arrived at Quinns, several Persons moved about their daily work and while she was about entering into the building, she heard a horn behind and turned around to be faced with a Mercedes Benz.

The windows were pulled down and it turned out to be Bruce once again. He made a gesture indicating that he wanted to speak to her and Ava walked towards his car and eventually stepped in.

“I came here to apologize for what happened yesterday. I was so desperate to have a fun time with my daughter that I could do anything to be with her.” Bruce revealed as Ava stared out the window.

“You didn’t just caused a scene Bruce, it became an internet sensation. The whole world believes that I am at fault and they fail to see the bigger picture.” Ava replied, still not making any effort to look at Bruce.

“I know and I regret my actions. Your boyfriend was getting on my nerve and i thought I needed to put him in his place.” A silence erupted afterwards for a few minutes.

“Aren’t you going state your purpose of being here or is this the reason?” Ava asked, checking her wrist watch.

“I just need you to grant me one wish and I swear I wouldn’t bug you again.” Ava could see the desperation written all over his face.

“Fine, I will allow you take Chloe out later in the day. However, it would be just for this time only.” At the moment Ava revealed those words, Bruce felt a glimpse of hope.

“Thank you very much and I assure you, you would not regret this.” Ava nodded and got out of the car, not paying more attention to Bruce as he waltz away. She couldn’t deny the fact that keeping Chloe away from her father could have some psychological effects thus, the reason why she had agreed in the first place.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

The day went fast and it amazed Ava, who had the tendencies of staying in the office for quite long. Andrew had stated that he was headed for a business meeting in Canada for two days, leaving her alone.

When Ava arrived at her apartment, she was surprised to see that Bruce had already stepped into the apartment, judging from the car parked outside. When she walked into the living room, she was surprised to see Chloe laughing heartedly at a joke that Bruce had made. The moment felt historic for Ava, who could see that for the first time Chloe was happy genuinely.

“Welcome back mummy.” Chloe said, running to hug her mother. Ava played with her hair and watched Bruce get up from the floor where they played.

“She suggested we did a mini tea party and I told her to wait for you to come back.” Bruce revealed, after Chloe helped Ava with the bag and left for the room.

“Thank you. I understand perfectly that this is hard for you, but all the same thank you very much for giving me the chance to finally see her.” Bruce said as he watch Ava slam to the couch, with her eyes closed.

“Along the line she would still figure out you are her father. Thought she knew now before it’s too late.” Bruce chuckled as Chloe returned to the living room.

“Mummy, we are organizing a tea party!” Chloe yelled with so much excitement and Ava smiled at her beloved daughter. This was the ingredient missing all the while; a genuine family bond and it felt like it had always existed.

As the tea party went on, Bruce thrilled Chloe with his adventures across several countries and their amazing sight seeing environment and it made Chloe completely engrossed. Ava on the other hand also listened to the tale from Bruce with so much admiration. He had grown quite handsome and it was even perfect to see he was smiling happily as well.

“Alright sweetheart, time for bed.” Ava revealed, checking his time and Chloe pouted. It was obvious she didn’t want to go to bed, but Ava would have none of it.

What was more fascinating for Ava was seeing Bruce help tuck Chloe to bed and further read her a bed time story. For a moment she felt a tingling sensation within and realized that this was where her heart belonged; with Bruce.
