Mr Bodyguard, Protect Your Heart!
Chapter 160: IT IS JUST AN ATTRACTION, IT WILL GO AWAY

Maybe, she is bothered about something related to the company. He thought. I will ask her about it later if she needs any help.

"Dove, shall we go to the company now?" He asked her in a gentle tone. To which, Dove looked at him, and she hummed and replied, "Yes." Dante started the car, and started driving. And what he did not notice was her eyes looking at him with a complicated expressions.

It was a regular bad habit of Gavi to always forget the lunch box in the car. And that was why, it was almost like a daily duty for Dove to remind him that. But today, she was so zoned out in her own thoughts that not only had she not realised when they reached his school, but she did not even remember about Gavi’s lunch box. And the main culprit were her thoughts about Dante, that had been revolving around her head since last night. It had been giving her a lot hard time since last night! She did not want to think like this about him. She did not want to think negatively about what he had been so excited and happy to share about. But no matter how much she wanted not to think about it, it just wouldn’t work.

So, she had just decided to bury all her attention in her work. And perhaps after a while, it would get normal! And hence, she did not even pay attention to her son! And just when Dove was starting to feel guilty about it, she saw Dante’s and Gavi’s interaction. And her heart shook. They way he was so gentle with Gavi. And the way, Gavi was so happy around Dante. And now their interaction made the thoughts in her head worse.

Did... did she really start liking Dante? Honestly, Dove couldn’t be hundred percent sure. After all, she had never really experienced something like this before. And maybe, she would have got the guts to go with the flow and see it for herself where it leads her, but right now, she couldn’t. Especially after knowing that Dante already had someone in his heart. And even if that thought made her feel bitter, then so be it, because her her integrity would never allow her to even extend any chance towards a man who had another woman in his heart.

Dove sighed, before she closed her eyes and rested his head on the seat. She had not completely noticed herself when and how her feelings had come this far for him. Was it when he showed concern for her? When he stood beside her during times when she thought that it was difficult? Or when he made her laugh with his humour? Or was it simply his charm that cornered her? She did not know.

Even yesterday when they were talking to each other, and when he asked for what plans did she have for romance in her life, she had still not considered anything about it. All she knew was that she liked being around him. But only after he spoke about himself did it change.

Dove gritted her teeth and then took a deep breath and shook her head slightly again. No, things cannot go on like this. She had to control her thoughts and herself. If anything, Dante has come to be a very good friend of hers, and she cannot afford to lose a friendship over her messed up thoughts.

It’s alright, Dove! It is just a fleeting attraction, it will go away. And you are not some fourteen years old, who wouldn’t be able to take control over her own feelings and thoughts. Dove repeated all this in her mind again and again as if to engrave it in her mind.

While driving Dante looked at the back seat through the mirror to find Dove close her eyes, and there was a frown on her face. ’She seems tired. Whatever she that was going on her mind, it must be worrying her a lot it seems." Dante sighed and felt pity for his woman. What was the need for her to worry about all this so much, when he was just here. If she was having any issue regarding anything, she could just come to him anytime.

Meanwhile, Gavi met his friends Aron and Soha, just when he entered the school premises. And they very cheerfully greeted each other a ’good morning’. And then they entered their classroom. Currently, their homeroom teacher has not arrived in the class yet, so all the little children were playing around or talking and giggling to each other. Soha was currently telling them with all enthusiasm, about her going to the amusement park this weekend with her parents. And what rides she had played on. And the different and delicious food that they tried. Gavi and Aron were listening to her very attentively and with a smile on their faces. After she was done, even they shared some of their experiences about when they had gone to the amusement park.

Back when they were abroad, despite the very busy schedule that Dove and Lisa had, they would always create an opportunity to take Gavi some place or other. Though, it would not be regular, but Gavi had a few experiences to share, despite being young.

It was then that Aron remembered something and he said with bright eyes, "Hey! Do you know, I have heard of something interesting! There will soon be a ’Family Fun Day’ at our school."
