Chapter 118 My little bestie

“Ara, what kind of behaviour is this? Apologise now.” Seth told her with a hint of anger in his voice, but the little one pursed her lips, crossed her arms and just sat down. She looked angry.

“Awa, do what I said, and don’t make me repeat that.” Seth told her, but she still didn’t move. I could clearly see that her eyes were getting wet. It hurt me to see her like that, I couldn’t take that any longer. I stood up, then I went to her.. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Ava, come with me. I want to talk to you.”

“No, I’m not going with you. You are a liar. Leave me alone, Gideon.” She said, but her tears rolled down on her little cheeks. I frowned. Somehow, I got that feeling her anger was related to Alice.

I kneeled down, then I leaned closer to hug her, so I could whisper in her little ear with no one would notice.

“Cany

you keep a secret?”

She nodded with a little move.

I held her in my arms, U

then I stood up with her in my arms. She wrapped her arms around my neck. She didn’t refuse to come with me.

Seth stared at me like he wanted to kill me, but I ignored him. I took Awa away, I was certain about she was he that because of Alice, because I recalled her little face when last time Amber has been mentioned. Probably the little one thought I got over Alice easily, letting her go, and that made her sad and

angry at me.

I took her to the pool, and I put her down. I took my

my shoes off, then I sat on the side, letting my feet hang into the water. She took her sandal off too,

and she did the same.

“Ava, tell me what is wrong.”

Her sad and angry expression came back, and it took a while for her to speak.

“Is Alice dead?”

“No.” I answered her calmly.

She looked at me suddenly.

“Then where is she?”

I really wanted to tell her the truth, but she was so little. I was worried she would tell everything to her parents.

“She is in a good place. She is okay. You don’t have to worry about her.”

“Then

why did she leave us?”

1 sighed.

“That is my fault, Ara, and you have all the rights to blame me for that. I should have taken better care of her.”

“Did you two argue!”

“Yes” I looked down and smiled sadly.

“Did you apologise to her?”

1 looked away, keeping my sad smile on my fare

*Gideon, if you say

“Gideon, if you say sorry, I’m sure she would forgive you. And then she would come back to us. Please Gideon, tell her you are sorry.”

“Wish that would be so simple, but it isn’t.”

“You don’t love her anymore, do you? You love Amber. But Gideon, she isn’t nice at all, and she doesn’t know how to skate. She is ugly, and she looks.

viller is much better than her.”

I laughed.

“Stop, stop, stop. Who said that I love Amber? Gosh. No. I don’t love Amber. I don’t even like her,”

Her eyes widened.

“But, daddy says she is your new girlfriend, and grandpa and grandma tell the same.”

frowned

“I know, but that is not true. I don’t want that. She isn’t my girlfriend and she’ll never be my girlfriend.”

“Then why do they say that, Gideon?”

“I don’t know. Maybe they think that is enough to act like that to make me like her. But that will never work.”

1 sighed. She remained quiet. She looked at the e water for a little while, then she looked at me suddenly.

“You said that you are going to tell me a secret.”

I smiled.

“TH

“What is it, Gideon?”

“Will you promise me you

ou won’t tell it to anyone, not even daddy and mummy?”

She nodded.

I held her hand.

“I want Alice back. And I am working on it. But this is all that you may

knowd

She looked at me with surprise, but for the first time, I saw some kind of happiness in her eyes.

“Really?”

“Yes, but bra, it’s only going to work if you won’t talk about it to them. Any of them. If they’ll get to know about that, they will ruin everything. because they want to push me to Amber.”

“I won’t talk about it, I promise, but Gideon, I have to see Alice.”

“I didn’t say that I’m in contact with her. I only said I try.““Try it harder, Gideon, and you have to let me meet her as soon as possible.”

“I promise Ava, but like I said…“I know, I know.”

And she showed me she zipped her lips. I laughed. I pulled her into a hug, then kissed the top of her head.

“Come on, Ava, we have to go back and play our role. Just keep smiling, okay?”

She looked at me and had a fake grin.

“Be a bit more natural, but otherwise you are doing great.”

I stood up, and I lifted her up on her feet, too. We took our shoes, and we walked back together hand in hand.

When we arrived back, they stopped talking and all of them looked at us curiously. I sat back in my place, and Ava sat next to me, making the others surprised. She wrapped her hand around my arm and she leaned her head on it

“Oh, you two are so cute. Look at that Gideon calmed her down. I would have never imagined you are so good at handling children.”

Chapter 118 My little bestie

Amber commented with a broad smile, trying to be super cute to make my family like her more, but Ava hated her, just like me, and before she would have said something, I freed my arm and I pulled her into my embrace, poking her to stay quiet. She understood me. She lifted her head and looked at Amber with a broad smile. That made me smile, too.

The others continued chatting. Somehow Amber reminded me of Gemma. She couldn’t stop talking about herself. We got to know how fantastic she was in high school. She said she was the cheerleader. She said she was the best at gymnastics and also she described herself as a genius, who was the best in everything in her class.

“We have a talent in our family.” My mum said in response to Amber.

“Oh, really?” She looked at her, surprised.

“Yes, our little Ava is going to be a figure skater. Isn’t that right, Ava?”

Ava locked up, but didn’t say a word. I poked her again.

*I’m practising. But I still have to learn a lot.”

“Oh, I’m sure you’ll be one of the best, Ava.” Amber told the little one, and Ava nodded.

‘T’ll be as famous as Alice Lessard. She is the best figure skater at the moment.”
