Bound To Him - Chapter 127
The thing is, Sara did not like it when the woman was getting too close to Blake, she wanted to rip her head apart, but she could not understand why she was feeling all this animosity towards someone she didn’t even know.
Blake and Sara were on the dance floor, staring into each other’s eyes intently as if they were the only people in the room.
“Are you enjoying this party?” Blake asked.
“Yes, it’s a nice party, I’ve met a few people I know,” Sara smiled.
“Well then, that’s settled, we’ll attend all the parties together,” Blake said.
Sara was wondering why they should always be seen together when this was supposed to be a fake relationship.
A woman had come to ask Blake to dance, and he said he’d rather not, because his girlfriend would get jealous.
After the woman walked away, Sara started questioning him, “Why did you tell her I was going to get jealous, you could have danced with her,” Sara asked.
“So you’re saying it was okay? That you won’t get jealous?” Blake asked.
“No, why should I? I can see that you have a lot of admirers, you can’t deny them what they want,” Sara stated.
“So, I should just say yes to every guy that wants to dance with you?” Blake countered back.
“I don’t see anybody asking me to dance, do you?” Sara frowned.
“No one has asked you to dance, they just asked you to marry them,” Blake said pointedly.
“So you saw that huh,” she asked, surprised while he nodded his head, and he clenched his jaw.
“Don’t worry, I’m not interested in anyone,” Sara assured him.
“Good,” Blake tightened his hold on her waist. “Even if someone was interested I’d make sure that they know that you are mine, nobody can take you from me,” he thought, kissing her forehead.
She did not expect him to do that, and she felt her heart swell. Not wanting him to see her blushing, she hid her face in his chest, snuggling to get close.
With Sara in his arms, the evening turned out to be better for Blake.
After the party, he dropped her off at her house. There was someone special, waiting for her at home.
“Hi, Sis!” Ava called out as soon as Sara stepped into the living room.
“Oh, Ava! When did you get here? You should have told us you were coming,” Sara said as she hugged her baby sister.
This was the first time Ava had visited her parents after she got married. Tristan had taken Ava to Switzerland for a month-long honeymoon in his private villa, where they spent each moment with each other without any disturbances.
Ava did not know anything about Sara’s scandal, and she intended to keep it that way. Ava grew up to be very sheltered, and her husband is continuing the same practice. So she did not want Ava to worry.
“We returned yesterday, I wanted to see all of you so I came right away,” Ava said.
Mrs. Wesley was happy to see that her daughter has a nice glow on her face. She was happy, and that’s all that mattered. It looked like Tristan was treating her better than they expected.
“Baby sis, it looks like you’ve grown much prettier after you got married,” Sara said, touching Ava’s cheeks.
Ava blushed, remembering all the things they did while they were honeymooning, stuff she cannot disclose to anyone.
Tristan had become more focused on Ava when they got married, being very particular when it came to Ava’s welfare, stating that Ava should never skip her meals, most of the time, Tristan even fed her.
Ava was dressed differently today, looking very sophisticated in her designer outfit, and the shiny reminder that she indeed was married, her wedding ring drew everybody’s attention once they came near, it was a one of a kind wedding ring that Tristan had custom made.
Mr. Wesley was considered rich, but he felt that Ava was introduced to a more luxurious lifestyle after she got married.
“Sis I got you a few girts,” Ava said as she handed a few bags to Sara.
She had gone shopping for her parents, Tristan’s grandparents, Sara and Kelly when they were on vacation.
PA Jack had finally proposed to Kelly while Ava was on her honeymoon. They met with her parents to ask for their blessing, and they were happy that their daughter found a very respectable and honorable man. The elders have met and are now setting a date for the wedding.
Kelly was becoming famous because of her photos and her internship. Her latest campaign was so successful that she was invited to give a TED talk.
Sara looked into the bags, there was expensive chocolate, Swiss skincare products, Silk scarves, and tops, and jewelry. Ava picked out all of Sara’s favorite colors.
“Oh, these are all pretty. Thank you, Ava, I love it!” Sara said excitedly.
They were all sitting on the sofa, catching up and exchanging stories when Mrs. Wesley asked, “Ava, what are your plans for your career?”
“Mom, I’m going to get some more training in jewelry designing, and later I plan to open my own company,” Ava said.
“Then I’ll help you fund your first company,” Mr. Wesley said.
“Dad Tristan had already started the procedures to open the company, he said he would handle everything,” Ava said. Tristan had told her that she can do anything, but she should only depend on him.
Mr. Wesley was a little unhappy, he wanted to do something for his daughter, but of course, his son was always one step ahead.
Mrs. Wesley understood her husband’s feelings and said, “My son-in-law is so thoughtful, always prioritizing your needs.”
Mr. Wesley felt at ease hearing his wife’s words. It was good that Tristan loved Ava and did everything to fulfill her happiness.
“Ava, let’s go to the dining room, dinner is served,” Mrs. Wesley invited.
Ava looked bothered, so Sara asked her what was happening.
“Mom, I need to go home. I promised Tristan I would be home before he comes back from the office so we could have dinner,” Ava said, worried.
“Ava sweetie, you will be with Tristan every day, why don’t you have dinner with us tonight?” Mrs. Wesley insisted.
“No mommy, Tristan won’t eat if I don’t have dinner with him,” Ava pouted.
Everyone in the house was stunned, it had been just one month since they got married, and yet Ava seems to be attached to Tristan already.
“Ava he will understand that you are visiting your parents,” Mr. Wesley reasoned.
“Dad, I overslept one time and did not have dinner so Tristan did not eat because he wanted to wait for me, so we can eat together,” Ava said. The real reason for Ava oversleeping was because they had too much action that afternoon.
“Ava, why don’t you call and ask Tristan, who knows what he will say,” Sara suggested, so she called her husband, and he agreed to their request.
“He said it’s okay,” Ava said in a disappointed tone.
“Why are you sad?” Mrs. Wesley asked amusingly.
“I want Tristan, mom. He should be here to feed me,” Ava complained. Sara and Mrs. Wesley chuckled.
“How old are you that he needs to feed you?” Mrs. Wesley teased.
Ava unwillingly went to the dining table. She had difficulty swallowing her food, thinking about Tristan the whole time.
Mr. Wesley had mixed emotions, for sure, this was not his daughter anymore. After getting married, she wouldn’t care for anybody else aside from her husband.
While they were eating, the doorbell rang. “Little one!” said a voice from the living room.
“Tristan! Oh my, Tristan came,” Ava left the table and ran towards him. She hugged him tightly, “Tristan, I missed you,” Ava said sweetly.
She already missed him even though they just saw each other this morning, and they spent each moment together during the honeymoon. Ava found it difficult to adapt to real life, after the honeymoon. She was so used to being with Tristan at every hour of the day.
“Me too,” Tristan said and kissed her forehead. She pouted and looked at him with a frown.
Tristan understood that she wanted a kiss, but he did not want to do it in front of their audience and make his father-in-law mad so he kissed her forehead instead.
“I’ll give it to you later in the bedroom, with a bonus,” Tristan murmured in Ava’s ear.
Ava blushed. The others did not know what he said but gauging by her face, they knew it was something romantic.
“Tristan, come sit and have dinner,” Mrs. Wesley said.
“Yes mom,” Tristan said sitting down beside Ava. Mr. Wesley started talking to Tristan as he automatically fed Ava, she was like a kid instructing him what to feed her.
“Little one, eat the vegetables on this spoon, I will feed you meat after,” Tristan said coaxing her.
Mrs. Wesley shook her head, Ava had become more spoiled after getting married.
Sara saw their interaction and thought that this person whom the whole world described as cold and aloof, was so caring and loving to her sister, it was unbelievable.
Sara wanted a love like this, where she was the center of attention for her man.
When Ava called, Tristan wanted to tell her to go home right away but knew that her parents wanted to spend time with her, so he went to visit them as well.
It didn’t matter where they had dinner, as long as he was with Ava.
