The CEO’s Perfect Mistake - Chapter 195

Megan’s POV

We are taking an unfamiliar route, and I don’t know where Aston takes us. Still, I am sure I will be having fun with him together with our little boy, and I am so excited about where we could be; and Axel was talking from the moment we left from our driveway until he fell asleep.

I felt so glad my parents were at my place, and Clara was relieved that she would not stay alone at my house. I wanted to bring my mom and dad, but they said they wanted to stay and explore Megalopre, and they both told me to enjoy my time with Ashton.

I had a heart-to-heart talk with my dad one morning, and I didn’t expect my dad will go through the hassle of researching where to have a pancake in our place.

“Megan, I was shocked when Ashton showed up in our house, and I know it wasn’t easy on his part to meet me and ask forgiveness from me. And I admit I was still angry with him when he came to our house, but when he told me everything, I realized how much he suffered protecting you. He loves you so much, Meg.” My dad said after he brought me to a pancake house.

“I know, dad,” I said.

“I hope you will never give him up, whatever happens, Meg. I know how much your happiness means to him; he loves you, Megan. And he regretted what he had done to you, just like the way I feel

I suddenly remember my childhood when he brought me to my favorite pancake house in Astikoz, and it was one of the best memories I had with my dad that I always cherish. I always love spending time with my father, and I even dream of having a pancake house when I grow up so I can eat with my dad any time. And now that we reconciled, I wanted to create memories with him, and of course, with my mom.

“A penny for your thoughts, beautiful?” Ashton said when he found me lost in my world as I was thinking about my childhood, I felt him take my hand and squizz my palm, and I turned my head to look at him.

“I am just thinking about my memories with my father when I was a child,” I said, and he smiled at me, and then I saw his face turn sad.

“I am happy that you are now okay with your dad. I know how much you love him, Meg, and when I was still in Senior High School, I witnessed your closeness, and I still remember the time you watched my game together with your entire family, and it made me feel so happy.” He declared.

“And that day, I felt I belonged to your family, and I was hoping that there would be a time that my dad would be watching me play football on the bleacher, but it didn’t happen.” He said, and it was my time to s his hand, and I don’t know how to make him feel better.

“And I promised you, Meg, if ever our son will become a football player someday, I will become a supporting father, and I will do everything I can to show Axel that I want him to do what he loves the most, and he is free to choose what type of career he wants when he grows up,” Ashton added.

“I don’t want our son to end up hating me for the rest of his life, and most of all, I will never ask our child to marry someone he doesn’t love.” He added, and I could feel the bitterness in his voice, and I know it was his way of telling me that he would never follow his father’s footsteps.

“Of course, I know, besides if ever you forget your promise, I will never allow you to dictate our son’s love life. We had been there, and we both know the feeling of forbidden love.” I replied, and he pulled me closer to him; my head was on his shoulder.

“Don’t worry, Megan, I will never allow my father to separate us again,” he responded. I gave him a quick peck on the lips when the traffic light turned red. We both fell silent until I could no longer keep my eyes open since being this close to Ashton makes me feel so happy. Inhaling his masculine scent always gives me shivers over my body in a comforting way.

The next thing I knew, Ashton woke me up from my sleep, and I opened my eyes, I was shocked when I realized my boyfriend had brought us to his grandfather’s place. I didn’t expect his siblings would be there waiting for us too, and I felt so happy to see them after how many years, and the moment we got out of Oliver’s car I could see them smiling at us, and then they couldn’t stop from staring to our little boy.

“Axel!” Isabelle exclaimed after Ashton introduced my son to all his siblings, and she picked him up and carried our son even if he was already so heavy. I almost laughed when they took turn in hugging and kissing Axel’s chubby cheek, and my heart swelled with happiness, then I could hear my son’s laughter when Cole tickled him. And when grandpa Henry took me into his arms, I couldn’t stop my tears from falling on my cheeks.

“I missed you so much, Megan, and I couldn’t believe I would meet my great-grandson today; you make this old man so delighted.” Grandpa Henry said happily, and he was looking into my face after he released me from his embrace, and I dried my tears using my fingers.

Ashton’s grandparents told me right away that Axel would be sleeping in their room tonight while his siblings protested, especially Isabelle, and my son was the happiest, and I know how much he enjoys the attention he gets from his great-grandparents and his aunt and uncles.

And Ashton winked at me, and I could feel the knots on my stomach as his intense gaze lingered on my lips, and I couldn’t stop myself from getting so excited, and I knew he is communicating with me through his eyes, and I couldn’t wait to be alone with him to our favorite place.

And when it was time to eat our lunch, I realized nothing had changed to grandpa Henry’s ways in having a feast because the overflowing food on the dining table made my mouth water. Axel was sitting between his aunt Isabelle and Uncle Lennon, and my son is asking so many questions again.

“Why you didn’t attend my seventh birthday, aunt Isabelle?” Axel suddenly asked, and it felt like something had stuck in my throat, Ashton swallowed his saliva, and I could see the guilty expression on Isabelle’s face.

“Mmm, I am sorry, Axel, we all wanted to attend your birthday party, but we have a busy schedule, but don’t worry, on your next birthday, all of us will be there,” Isabelle said, and my son’s face lit up.

“It was okay, Aunt Isabelle, I only asked; I understand that you couldn’t be there, dad was not there either, and I couldn’t wait for my next birthday to come again; I am sure I will receive so many gifts,” Axel answered, and we all laughed.

“Buddy, even if it is not your birthday, we prepared gifts for you,” Cole said, and Axel’s smile could light up the entire room.

After eating lunch, we all went to the lake, and I remembered all the memories I had with Ashton as I looked at the treehouse, I couldn’t believe grandpa Henry took good care of it, and it still looked the same, and I couldn’t stop myself from blushing as I remembered the night I give myself to Ashton, and it feels like yesterday that we shared that intimate moment.

“I couldn’t wait to take you back here tonight, Megan.” He whispered in my ear while he was holding my hand, and I could feel the butterflies swarming on my chest, and I was smiling like an idiot, and I couldn’t wait to be alone with Ashton tonight.

Axel was so excited to go fishing with his father and uncles, and they were fishing for a while; and I was having fun talking and catching up with Isabelle, and it felt so lovely to be with them after so many years.

“Mom, look, I caught a fish!” Axel was yelling with happiness when he caught his first fish, and he was clapping his hand after his dad took the rod from him, and his father looked at our son with so much love on his face, and after they caught more than enough for all of us, Cole prepared the griller while Lennon cleans the fish.

And Ashton taught our son how to grill the fresh fish he caught, and Axel was having so much fun; and after eating, we all went swimming on the lake, and it was a beautiful sunny afternoon, and our laughter echoed the lake.

“Thank you so much, Ashton,” I said while he was hugging me from behind while we were looking at his siblings splashing water on each other while Lennon carried Axel on his neck.

“For what, Meg?” He softly asked me while I felt him nibble my ear, which caused me to have goosebumps.

“For bringing us here, and for this beautiful day with your siblings, you made me so happy today,” I responded.

“It is nothing, Megan; just thank me later tonight when we are alone using your body language,” Ashton said, and I couldn’t stop giggling and having knots on my stomach.

And when he spun me around to face him, he could no longer control himself from capturing my mouth, and Ashton kissed me hungrily.. I couldn’t stop myself from kissing him back as he pulled me closer to him, and the laughter of my son and his siblings faded away as I could hear the rapid beating of my heart as I felt him deepen our kiss.
