Chapter 191: Kind of weird

Both Ashley and Tristan looked at Tori who stood a few steps away with a glass of water in her hand.

The second she stepped out of the kitchen, her eyes bulge out in shock watching Tristan being pushed by Ashley on the couch. The way the supreme leader landed on his butt whining made her jaw drop.

The supreme leader she had seen back then was acting like a clingy husband. The cold heart man who never bat an eye before snapping at his enemy was now acting all spoiled in front of his wife.

’Is this the end of the world’ Tori couldn’t believe her eyes and closed her mouth and cleared her throat making them both snapped their head in her direction.

"W-water" she barely spoke showing the glass in her hand and quickly walked towards them, placing the glass on the table and turning back dashing straight into the kitchen.

Ashley blinked her eyes, looking at Tori’s quick reflex and she turned her head at Tristan who was just as astonished as her, and said," Did she see everything?"

Tristan shrugged his head, staring at Ashley. Quickly composing his posture, Tristan sat properly on the couch and reached his hand to pick up the glass of water before gulping it down.

"I thought she wasn’t coming," Tristan said placing the glass back on the table and stood up, walking toward Ashley.

"She seems kind of weird to me" he exclaimed.

The way Tori reacted in front of him made him doubt whether the girl was comfortable around people or not. She was so timid, that made him think whether she had any kind of problem with him.

Tristan remembered that he was polite to her then why would she get scared by him?

Ashley frown at Tristan’s remark. "Why do you think like that?" she asked as they both headed back to their room.

All the way to their room Tristan was finding words to prove his statement earlier and once they were in front of their bedroom door she heard him say," I don’t know... but the way she got scared of me made me think that way"

Opening the door, they both stepped in and closed the door.

"She is scared of you... are you serious" Ashley chuckled as she couldn’t believe what Tristan thought about Tori.

He was the funniest person, she had ever seen. Though sometimes in his anger, he little bit scares her but that was not the way he was defining it.

Tristan pursed his lips into a thin line and silently followed her. Sitting next to her on the couch Tristan shrugged his shoulder thinking in what way he scared Tori but nothing came out of it.

Brushing off the topic Tristan tried to change the conversation, "By the way, you did tell me about the sponsor who invested in the ad shoot for Alaska cosmetics"

Tristan tried to play it calmly without letting her know the real intention behind his statement.

He had somehow managed to skip Ashley’s thoughts from the previous topic which led to their fight. And now, he didn’t want her to sense anything suspicious in his words.

"Lucan Scott, one of the top businessmen. You must be knowing him" she asked excitedly turning herself at him.

Tristan acted as if he was thinking something and nodded his head," Yes, I know him but, why is he suddenly investing his money into something which he isn’t confident about"

Tristan tried to gather information as much as he can from Ashley since he wanted to know about the scheme Gabriel was plotting through Lucan. So he had to act normal.

"I don’t know but I’ve heard from Miley that, he is launching his nephew through this small ad into the modeling industry" Ashley’s words made Tristan frown.

As far as Tristan knows, Lucan doesn’t have any siblings then, from where did this nephew come from?

Ashley saw Tristan spacing out," Is there any problem" her concerned tone made him snap out of his thoughts.

Tristan shook his head before he pulled Ashley closer to him, wrapping his arm around her shoulder," Don’t get swayed by that new model. I won’t be there to warn him"

Tristan didn’t want to sound jealous but when Ashley mentioned the new model, he suddenly felt defensive. It was not like he didn’t trust Ashley. He believed her more than himself but he had no guarantee about the people around her.

The fatigue on Ashley’s face was replaced with a playful grin as she watched Tristan marking his territory already. She thought of agreeing to him but wait... didn’t he tease her downstairs. Now it’s time for a counter-attack.

"What if the new guys look more handsome? How am I supposed to break my eyes from him" Ashley smiled internally when she saw Tristan’s face turn ugly in jealousy.

"Then I should find a way to replace that handsome guy because apart from me, I won’t like my wife gawking at any other man" Tristan’s words came out in possessiveness.

Ashley couldn’t hold back her smile and finally give in. The way he claimed her, made her exceptional.

Moving closer she cupped his cheek and brushed it gently with her thumb, "I don’t intend to look at any other man when I have such a charming husband" as she confessed, the animosity in Tristan’s orbs disappeared.

Moving his hand from her shoulder to the back of her neck, Tristan slightly pulled her face closer until the tip of their nose touched, "You are mine, Ash. Only mine to look at and to love. And whoever dares to lay their dirty eye on you will have to face my wrath" the gentle words suddenly turned into a deadly warning that even took Ashley by surprise and before she opened her mouth to speak, Tristan pulled her for a kiss.

The kiss wasn’t gentle. It came out of the obsession Tristan had towards her and that kind of appalled her.

Ashley didn’t stop him and let him kiss her until he felt better. The moment she felt him nibble her lip Ashley, gasped. Taking the opportunity, Tristan invaded his tongue tangling with hers and began savoring her mouth.

The lips move simultaneously as they both deepened their kiss. Ashley had moved down, reaching Tristan’s heart. She felt his heart thump vividly against his chest and she snapped out of their moment.

Slightly pushing him, Ashley tried to break the kiss and luckily she managed when Tristan senses her discomfort.

Pulling away Tristan opened his eyes and stared at Ashley who was still trying to grasp her breathing. And once she stabilized, Ashley slowly opened her eyes, looking at Tristan with concern.

She didn’t say a word but her silence made Tristan realize what he was trying to do and that made him feel guilty the next second.

"Sorry I lost control," he said resting their forehead together, and then pulled her closer to him resting his chin on her head.

He again let his insecure thought control his rational mind. Tristan opened his mouth to say something but Ashley’s words stopped him.

"It’s okay" bringing her hand to his back she gently brushed it.

She could understand his insecurity and it was normal. She didn’t mind if he tried to show it with action. If it was her at his place, she would have done the same.

Tristan relaxed as her words soothe him. Taking a deep breath he kissed her head and tightened his grip around her.

It was his way of letting her know that she belonged to him in every sense and no outsider will ever be able to break them apart.

Alice returned back to her cabin once she finished the photoshoots. Taking the chair for herself she leaned back closing her eyes.

Now that her distraction was gone, the thoughts from morning again came rushing through her mind. Snap opening her eyes, She pulled herself straight up and reached out her hand to pick up her from the table ahead.

Quickly typing something, she pressed the send button and kept waiting anxiously for the reply.

DING!!!

As her phone buzzed, she looked at the screen and a satisfying smile appeared on her lips. Getting up, she took her bag and walked out of the studio. On her way out of the studio building, she booked a cab for herself.

After some time the cab came and Alice quickly stepped in before it drove away.

Reaching Bluebird cafe, Alice stepped out of the cab and ended after paying the fare.

Looking for a familiar face, Alice scanned the shop and once she found the person, she walked toward the table.

"I hope I didn’t disturb you," Alice said taking the seat and looking at Avera who was waiting for her.

The second she received a text from Alice, asking her to meet at Bluebird cafe, she couldn’t reject it. She believed that it must be related to the issue she spoke to her last night which was why she asked her to meet her.

Asking her chauffeur to drop her off as soon as possible Avera reached the spot waiting for Alice to arrive. Since the place wasn’t far from her house Avera reached the cafe before Alice did.

Shaking her head Avera came straight to the point," Did Noah agree to my request?" she asked starring at Alice with hope.
