Chapter 177: Should we bathe...

Tristan returned home after work when he was informed about Dante’s arrival. Instead of heading to his room, Tristan first went to meet his grandfather.

"So the old man is back" he entered the room in a light-hearted mood and saw Dante glare at him through his glasses.

Ignoring his sullen face Tristan approached him and sat on the chair." I thought uncle Matt wouldn’t be leaving you so early" his words made the old man snap at him.

"I knew it was you who asked Matt to manipulate me with words" Dante knew it was Tristan’s idea to get him ready for the treatment which was why Matt kept pestering him giving him so many reasons to get on board with his therapy.

But what made him agree to them was when Matt told him that his treatment would somehow prolong his life a little and he would be able to spend more time with Grace and his grandchildren.

That was the moment when he lost and eventually agreed to step in. He wanted to see how long was his life extended. Was there really hope in his case or it was given an assurance?

"You wouldn’t have agreed if I had asked you. I had to find some other way to convince you" Tristan defended himself not taking the blame completely on him.

As much as Dante wanted to spend his remaining day with them Tristan wanted him to live long without counting his days.

Dante scoffed his words and waved his hand in the air. "Whatever... But inform Matt not to get me too often to the hospital, that place sucks" Dante scrunch his nose still remembering the smell of the medicine he was medicated on.

The taste was still lingering on his tongue which sometimes gave him nausea.

"That’s not how it works grandpa. If you want to recover then you have to follow uncle Matt’s words" Trevor wasn’t going to give in to his stubbornness this time.

Dante sneered at his words and watched him stand up to leave. Once Tristan reach the door, holding the knob he turned back and said," I think it’s time for mom to know about your health grandpa. I don’t think we can keep her in dark for long"

Dante’s sharp gaze dimmed when his words stuck like a bolt to his chords. He knew Tristan had been helping him to keep this secret to themselves, even Trevor helped him so much but now Grace being doubtful about him made him nervous.

How long was he supposed to hide this thing from her? One day or the other she would find it but wasn’t it better if he tell her by himself?

Averting his gaze away from Tristan, Dante nodded his head." I am preparing myself" he said.

Tristan nodded his head and stepped out of the room. Once the door closed Dante heaved out a shaky breath.

Trevor had too told him the same but he was still not courageous enough to tell Grace that his time was running up. Even though he was trusting the treatment but he had no idea how long his weak body would reciprocate to the dose.

Leaning back he pinched the space between his brows. It was so difficult for him to build up the courage to face his daughter but as Tristan said they couldn’t keep her in dark any longer.

Grace had started to doubt him and it wouldn’t take her long to find it on her own if not stopped.

"She is just as stubborn as me" Dante chuckled with a sad smile and closed his eyes.

Tristan stepped into his room and found it empty. In the afternoon when he called Ashley she was reading the scripts and he could tell that she was, because the entire table was filled with piles of paper.

"Maybe, she must be with mom" mumbling he removed his suit and stepped into the bathroom to take shower.

Undressing, Tristan stood under the shower and turned on the tap letting the water stream over him.

Resting his palm on the wall he leaned forward. He was about to get the body wash when a voice spoke from behind him," Let me"

Ashley’s voice beamed from his back as she took some body wash in her hand and started applying it on his back.

"I thought you were with mom," he said turning off the tap and circling to face her.

" I was discussing something with Miley," she said without lifting her eyes to meet his depth one.

Tristan forgot to check on the balcony where Ashley was having a conversation with Miley about the script she found interesting. Once she was done talking, she stepped inside the room when she heard the shower sound.

Knowing who it was she slowly stepped inside the bathroom removing her clothes as she approached the well-sculpted man who looked like Adonis under the shower.

Tristan traced his eyes on her naked body and his lips curled up into a playful smile, "You came prepared" his deep words made Ashley blush.

Now that they both were naked standing under the shower, shouldn’t they just bathe themselves? But no, both Ashley and Tristan had other thoughts which soon turned wild.

Ashley felt like her skin was burning under his scrutinizing gaze and she slowly moved closer resting her palm on his chest.

"Should we bathe.... together?" she said and this time she raised her eyes to meet his blue intense orbs.

Ashley was completely whipped by his charm that she even forgot to blink and let herself get immersed into the spell he cast on her.

Tristan was amazed by Ashley’s bold move. She was becoming more open with her thoughts and didn’t hold back in expressing them.

"Sure" without any second thoughts he agreed and reached his hand on the shelf to take the body wash.

His eyes never left hers as he quicken his movement, pinching the gel on his palm before he rubbed it and started applying it to her body.

Tristan gently traced his palm on her chest making circles around her round boobs. Biting her lips Ashley tried to suppress the moan when she felt him pinch her erect nipple.

"Tristan" she called his name and he looked up watching her dazed face.

"Shouldn’t I clean up everything" Tristan wasn’t going to leave any chance that won’t seduce her.

He said they should take it slow but he was finding it difficult to stand firm on his words.

Ashley bobbed her head as she couldn’t think straight. She was standing here on her will, and now she had to accept what was coming ahead.

"Yes..." she answered absentmindedly.
