Chapter 284: Forgive your father

"There is nothing left for us here," Theon said pulling away his eyes from her.

"I know, I don’t deserve to say this but still, I... hope one day you will forgive us" his heart felt heavy as he conveyed his words.

Theon was in no place to seek her forgiveness but still, he wished she would do it one day. He was repenting and he knew he had to do it until his life come to an end one day.

Alice pursed her lips as she listened to his words carefully. Her eyes welled up watching him choke on every word he spoke. She didn’t know if she could bring herself to accept them back as her parents as the damage they cause will take time to heal.

It wasn’t a wound of a few days, she bared it since her childhood. Forgiveness was something she had to think of very wisely.

When Theon didn’t hear back from her, his hope died. He already knew the answer yet he was hoping for her to forgive him.

Smiling at her sadly, he bobbed his head as if he got her answer already. There was nothing left for him to wait there. Gathering his broken heart, he paid a final glance at Alice but before he could know his feet found their way to her bed and he bend down kissing lovingly on Alice’s forehead.

"Forgive you father" he whispered with a sad tone and before Alice could see him, Theon turned around and walked out of the room in hurry.

Alice was rendered speechless and just watched her father leave. The tears she had been holding back found their way down her cheeks as she silently cried.

As soon as Theon stepped out of Alice’s room, he collided with Noah who had been standing there all the time.

Hiding away his tears, Theon forced a smile the moment their eyes met. He looked at the man whom he bad-mouthed in his anger. He was shameful of his actions and the words he spoke to him not knowing his identity.

But Theon was glad that because of Noah he finally saw the true face of the Greys who ditched him when he needed their help the most.

Holding no grudge against Noah, Theon passed him a thankful smile as he placed his hand on his shoulder and said," Thank you for allowing me to meet her. I know it’s hard for you both to trust me but, I indeed regret everything I did with you both. A sorry won’t change the damage I caused her, but still, I wait for the day when she will forgive me"

"She will" Noah answered with a meaningful look and bid goodbye to Theon before he returned to the room.

The news of Ashley’s pregnancy made the whole Knight Mansion bloom with happiness. Late in the evening, everyone gathered in the living area, giving their best wishes to the couple who was soon going to embrace parenthood.

"From here on you have to take care of yourself even more dear," Grace said gently cupping Ashley’s cheeks and kissed on her forehead.

Ashley couldn’t stop herself from blushing. It was all new to her. The feeling of having a life growing inside you was tremendous. She couldn’t describe it in words.

"How old is the baby?" she asked turning her attention towards Tristan.

"Three weeks old" Tristan answered.

Later in the noon, Tristan took Ashley for the check-up where the doctors ran a few tests and it was confirmed that the baby was three weeks old. It was too small to even notice but that was enough to bloom Tristan’s world.

After spending some time with the family members, Tristan then took Ashley back to their room. Even their dinner was served in the room where Tristan feed Ashley. He made sure to follow every word the doctors said.

"Don’t worry, everything gonna be fine" Ashley assure placing her palm on his hand and he moved his eyes to stare at her.

The moment those words left her mouth Tristan froze before he turned his eyes and met her gentle one.

Heaving out a shaky breath, Tristan closed his eyes before he moved and sealed her lips.

"She said your uterus is weak" Tristan recalled the doctor informing them about Ashley’s health condition.

Back then he didn’t realize but when the doctors pointed it out he remember Ashley being kicked by Marcus multiple times on her stomach. It made him feel miserable as he couldn’t stop that thing from happening.

"But she also said if we take precautious nothing will happen to the baby"

"I know" Tristan pursed his lips, resting their forehead together as he tried to calm his uneasy heart.

"So when will the shoot begin," Tristan asked changing the topic. He was yet to disclose the news about him being the producer of the movie.

"A weak later but before that, I have to polish my acting skills" Ashley sighed before pulling away.

She had this displeased look on her face that made Tristan arch his brow." Is something bothering you?" he asked as he immediately understood her mood.

Ashley chewed the inside of her mouth cursing herself for being so obvious with her expressions. She was contemplating whether she should tell Tristan about Riel or should she let things handle by herself. But then ended up choosing the latter.

She knew her jealous freak husband will never let that man live in peace until he chose to leave the institute on his own.

"No, it’s nothing. It’s just that I missed the class today, so tomorrow I have to work a little hard" she lied but partially.

Ashley avoided meeting his eyes knowing how his eagle-like piercing eyes can easily catch her lies. But little did she know he already has.

Ignoring her lies Tristan pulled the duvet over themselves and laid down on the bed with Ashley wrapped in his arm. He knew Gabriel was trying to befriend his wife but he didn’t know his wife would never let anyone that easily.

"Is someone trying to irk you?" he asked out of nowhere which made Ashley gasp in shock.

"How did you know?" she asked staring at him in disbelief but soon understood when he gave her are you serious look.

"Jack" she mumbled as she eyed Tristan with sharp eyes.
