Chapter 115: Where did you go?

"You are worried for nothing, Grace. Dante is getting old. It’s natural for him to rest all day without doing anything" Trevor tried to make her understand, but he doubted she would agree.

Grace sighed," Fine, I won’t worry," but deep inside, she knew Dante was hiding something from her.

Trevor looked at Grace and tried to change the topic," Did you call home? Gwen and Gavin are angry with you."

Grace snapped her head and looked at Trevor. "They know everything. There is nothing to hide anything from them," he said, shock in her eyes dissipated.

It was so selfish of her to keep her father away from her kids just because he wasn’t an ordinary man. She forgot even if she kept things away from them, Trevor wasn’t like that. He wanted his kids to love and respect Dante because he didn’t want them to feel that her mother had no one.

Gavin and Gwen knew everything about Dante and were proud of his kids for not judging him for who he was and what background he belonged to. The same happened to Tristan. His siblings knew about him, too, but they never judged him.

It was Grace who was yet to know that Tristan never left what he had started a few years back. He was still a part of it and would always be; she had to accept it.

Grace nodded her head, agreeing with Trevor’s words. He was right, and she was grateful to have a husband who always tried to put some brain in her head when she wouldn’t think rationally.

Agency

Ashley reached the company to sign back the contract after Masha published a statement of apology. She only had a day to prepare for the walk, and Ashley ensured she would do her best just like always.

After practicing the whole day, Ashley returned home. Sitting on the couch, she went to read the document and found Tristan’s name on the guest of the honors list.

A smile appeared on her lips, thinking it would be Tristan’s first time watching her walk the ramp. She wanted to look exceptional in front of her man.

With that thought, she took a shower before Tristan returned from work.

Bathroom

Stepping inside the bathtub, Ashley immersed her body in the warm water. She closed her eyes, let her head rest on the edge of the tile tub, and let her body relax.

It was a very tiring day, and right now, she wanted to relax her muscles so she could look presentable for the fashion show.

She didn’t realize when she had fallen asleep until she heard the bathroom door open, and she opened her eyes, turned her head, and saw Tristan walking toward her.

He was only in his boxers, but soon he dropped them down, letting his member rise, standing tall.

Ashley blushed, seeing his naked and well-built body, and watched him step inside the tub facing her.

"You look tired," Tristan said and reached out his hand for her to take.

Ashley didn’t let him wait and took his hand before she crawled towards him and settled down in between his legs.

Tristan snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her closer until his dick touched her lower back.

Ashley felt heat creep through her entire body and leaned back, resting on his chest.

"Hmm," she hummed and closed her eyes, letting herself loose in his arms.

Tristan was aware of Ashley being home, so he didn’t waste time and reached the bedroom only to find the bathroom door open and assume his wife to be taking a bath.

He removed his suit and shirt and unbelted his pant before placing them on the couch when his eyes fell on the papers on the table.

Ignoring them, he quickly made his way inside the bathroom and saw Ashley inside the tub, igniting the fire in him but what made him crazier was when she turned and watched him as he dropped his boxers.

They kept sitting inside the tub quietly and let them soak into the moment Ashley said," I hope I won’t disappoint you tomorrow."

Tristan understood what she was talking about, and he rested his chin on her shoulder, hugging her tightly," I know you won’t. My wife is the best," he said, making her smile.

First, she wouldn’t find it hard to walk elegantly on the ramp, but she felt a little nervous after learning it was Tristan who would be watching her along with the rest.

Tristan kissed the nape of her shoulder, held her hand with the ring he put on, brought it close to his lips, and kissed it.

"I wasn’t going to go but now that you are back to shine like the star. How can I let go of the chance to cheer my wife? Though secretly," he whispered the last words and heard her chuckle.

"I am looking forward to watching you walk the ramp, Ash, and that too with your head high" Tristan knew how committed Ashley was in every work she picked; even now, he had complete faith that she would do her best.

"Don’t get over-excited," she warned him playfully and turned around, snaking her arms around his neck, and leaned forward, capturing his lips for a passionate kiss.

"What if I did?" he asked, pulling back and watching her catch her breath

"Then we would be in headlines the next day," she said and saw him smile.

Tristan brushed the tip of their nose and dropped his head on her shoulder, hugging her tight. Ashley wrapped her arms around his back and brushed his hair lovingly.

"I can’t wait to walk with you hand in hand publicly" her hand froze, and she fell into thought.

Tristan sensed her lack of response and pulled back." I was kidding. Don’t get stressed up," he said and pulled out a smile.

Ashley let out a shaky breath and smiled back. She knew it was Tristan’s wish to make their relationship official, but he stopped himself because he had promised her.

She knew he was truthful to his words and would do anything to keep them, but then was it her responsibility to let the world know about him? For how long would she keep it hidden? Ashley thought for a while.

She had to find a suitable time to make their relationship official. With that thought in mind, they both took a bath together and walked out of the bathroom to get changed.

Outside Knight mansion

Sitting inside the car, Gwen found it too hard to part with Karl. They had been finding ways to spend quality time, and when they finally got together, she felt like staying with him all the time.

"Why did you have to drive so fast? See, we reached home," Gwen said grumpily.

Karl wanted to pinch her cheeks but stopped because he knew he would end up kissing her. They were outside Knight’s mansion, and he didn’t want anyone to witness them acting all lovey-dovey.

He tilted his neck a little and looked to see if anyone was around. Finding no one, he took the chance to lean forward and kiss Gwen’s cheeks.

"Gwen, listen, you have to go home. It’s late" his words made her release her anger a little bit, and she pouted.

"But I want to sit here with you," she said like a kid, which melted Karl’s heart.

He thought for a while and looked at her," Do you want to have ice cream?" he asked and saw her nod her head.

Karl didn’t want to upset her, so he proposed for ice cream. They can spend more time that way until he drops Gwen back home.

Karl started the engine and drove from there, taking Gwen to have ice cream with him, unknown to the person who had already witnessed them leave again.

Standing on his balcony, Gavin saw Karl’s car drive away from the Knight mansions gate and fell in thought.

"Where did they leave again" he mumbled suspiciously and rushed back inside his room.

****

It was after an hour Gwen returned home. She entered her room and turned on the lights.

"Where did you go?" Gavin’s sudden voice startled her, and she flinched, holding her breath.

Gavin, who was lying on the couch, sat up and turned to see Gwen standing next to the door. His eyes narrowed as he looked suspiciously at Gwen.

"GAVIN... how many times should I tell you not to scare me this way" Gwen ignored his question and slowly calmed down.

Gavin had been like this and kept barging into her room without letting he know.

"You didn’t answer me, Gwen. Where did you go, and what’s going on between you and Karl?" his words froze her on her root, and she felt her soul leave her body.
