Chapter 295: Mood swings

Tristan kept quiet the entire time which made Ashley nervous. "Say something?" she asked as she couldn’t handle the silence between them.

Sensing the distressed look on her face, Tristan composed his appearance and kissed her lips.

"I support you no matter what decisions you take now or in the future" his assuring words calmed Ashley and she quickly hugged him.

"I love.... so much Tristan. I don’t know what will I do without you" she said pulling away and watched him give her amusing look.

"It should be me who should confess those words of yours. You mean the world to me Ash and I don’t know what will happen to me if I don’t have you by my side" Tristan looked calm from the outside but deep inside Gabriel’s presence around her kept bothering him.

The man who didn’t think twice before killing his father wasn’t trustworthy, and that was the reason why he didn’t counterattack his army even after learning about his new identity as Riel.

Tristan couldn’t risk Ashley’s life because of his rivalry with Gabriel. Things that happened in the past caused a rift between the two friends and the person who was the reason for their conflict was non-other than Sandra.

His hands around Ashley tightened when Sandra’s face popped in front of his eyes and his expression instantly turned grim.

Ashley sensed the change in his demeanor but before she could ask their car stopped and they heard Jack’s voice," Boss we are here"

Snapping out of his thoughts, Tristan bobbed his head and helped Ashley sit on the seat before they both stepped out of the car and walked inside the lavishing restaurant.

The manager of the restaurant immediately recognized the couple and soon guided them to one of the private room.

Taking their respective seats, Ashley observed Tristan who was busy instructing the waiter about the menu. Once he was finished talking he then moved his eyes to her.

Tristan was stunned for a second as he found her already staring at him and that made him feel a little giddy.

"What’s with that look? Are you planning on seducing me, darling" he asked smiling at her.

Ashley’s eyes intensely stared at him but he failed to notice the exact reason. She wasn’t trying to make a move on him but was sharply observing him.

Tristan was expecting a quick response but when she didn’t answer, the smile on his face faltered. It was quite difficult to guess what was going on inside her mind.

After a long pause, Ashley finally spoke," Have you ever been in a relationship before? I mean before you saw me " she didn’t know why she brought up this topic but her curious self kept poking about it.

Tristan choked on the saliva in his mouth and looked at Ashley with wide eyes. Why would she bring this topic up all of sudden, he thought while he kept staring at her.

Ashley felt uneasiness creep up her heart when she didn’t hear Tristan denying it and her thoughts drifted to Riel’s words. ’Was he telling the truth,’ she thought as her eyes welled up.

Watching her moisten eyes, Tristan snapped out of his trance and vigorously shook his head." No... I never had a girlfriend before. You were the only girl I fell in love with"

A tear slipped down her eyes and she suddenly started crying taking Tristan and the staff by surprise.

"Then why did it take so long for you to answer" Ashley had no idea why all of a sudden she began crying but his silence did break her heart.

Pushing the chair behind Tristan quickly got up and sprinted towards Ashley, kneeling in front of her.

"Please don’t cry. I didn’t mean to upset you" his voice came out as soft as cotton and it immediately soothed her as she stopped crying.

Tristan had no clue why would Ashley suddenly turn so sensitive that wouldn’t bother about their surrounding.

Ashley sniffed like a cute child and asked," Are you telling the truth?" she already knew the answer but still she wanted to hear it from him again.

"Yes, it was always you" Tristan’s lips curled up into an amusing smile as he found her too adorable.

Once Ashley calmed down, the food was also served. Returning to his seat, Tristan found Ashley resuming her old smiley expression, and that made him calm a little.

’God knows how long these mood swings are going to last’ silently crying for himself, they both began to enjoy the dinner.

Hospital

After the morning conversation, Alice didn’t speak with Noah on the topic again. She couldn’t agree to his plan. Not that she trusted him but it was Natalie who she couldn’t put her trust on.

Once the nurse was done dressing Alice’s wounds, she excused herself and entered the bathroom. She could feel Noah was still trying to pursue her but she couldn’t give in.

Staying inside the bathroom for some time, she then slightly opened the door and peeked at Noah who was still seated in the same place.

’You can’t keep on ignoring him like this Alice’ she told to herself and was about to peek out of the door when the door flung open and a tall frame block her view.

Noah wasn’t able to endure her ignorance and quickly marched toward the bathroom but before he could reach there he saw the door slightly open and without wasting a second he flung open the door only to find Alice standing right behind it.

"Why are you standing here?" he asked as his expression softened and he quickly took a step closer to her.

"Do you feel sick?" he asked examining her wound.

Baffled by his sudden entry, it took Alice to return back to her normal self and when she did, she quickly took a step back from him, leaving him disheartened.

"I am good" she mumbled avoiding his sad gaze and was about to walk past him when suddenly Noah hugged her from behind.

Alice stood still on the ground and felt his face burying into the crook of her neck, while his arms around her waist gripped firmly.

"It’s the only way for me to avenge them," he said against her neck and felt the stiffness of her body return back to normal.

Alice felt her legs wobble as she found herself melting into his touch. She knew they had to expose Avera and Natalie somehow and for that, they had to think their way.

They have tried warning them but it only led them to enhance their grudge again them.

Dropping her shoulders in defeat, Alice closed her eyes as she tried to think practically.

"Fine! I agree with your plan but on one condition" releasing his arms around her waist, she turned around giving him a blank look.

Noah:"?"
