Chapter 171: CONTRASTING EMOTIONS

"And you have not done anything to annoy her, did you?"

"No, not at all, I don’t think I did anything at all, that would annoy her." Oh! Well, only if he knew.

Then, Dante gave it a thought and said with a small grin, "But she was indeed mad at something in the morning, and was in a very bad mood."

"Huh! Why so?" Gavi asked, before he tried to remember if it was him who messed up something.

Thankfully, he could not remember of any mischief that he might have done that could get him a good scolding. And which might possibly ruin his mother’s mood.

"I don’t know it might be something related to work, maybe." To which, Gavi to shrugged having no idea and agreeing with him.

But the very next second, Gavi thought about something and he looked at Dante giving him a big side eye, and asked, "And what did you do about it?"

"Uh?"

Gavi narrowed his eyes at him and gave him a questionable nod asking, "That is right. If my momma was in a bad mood and she was pissed off about something. Then as someone who is wooing her and likes her, you should have done something to cheer her up. You can not let a woman you like be in a bad mood, can you?"

Dante looked at Gavi, in surprise or disbelief, he wasn’t sure. This little boy? Are you sure this little boy is really just three years old? Did he just not have too much dating knowledge for a three year old kid?

But then thinking about the answer, he smiled slightly and nodded his head, "Yes, I did. Why do you think the ice creams are here today?"

"Huh?"

And then Dante went on explaining, "So apparently your mummy was really pissed and annoyed about something. So I proposed to help her. But in return, what I got in return was a scolding. She seemed to be very much in a bad mood. So, to make her mood better, and to apologise for anything that I might have done to contribute to her bad mood, i brought her ice creams."

Gavi’s lips turned ’O’ shaped as he nodded his head. "I see."

He looked at Dante and pressed his lips, giving it a thought. Well, thinking about it, Dante was doing a good job.

He couldn’t find a thing to not pick at all.

Sighing like an old man, he finally nodded his head and gave him a thumbs up. "Good job. But I will continue having my eyes on you!"

Dante chuckled, before he raised his hand and reached out to ruffle his head lovingly and then pinched his nose and said, "Fine, it will be a pleasure to have you guiding me to woo your mom."

Hearing that, Gavi felt his nose prick funnily, and he rubbed his nose! Haha! That felt nice to hear that from Uncle Dante!

"But for now, you should thank me for getting this ice cream flavour for you. This one flavour you like, and it was difficult to find."

Dante said.

To which, Gavi grinned and leaned his head

closer to Dante, "Hehehe! Thank you Uncle Dante! You are a good person."

Meanwhile, sitting behind her desk, Dove would quitely peek towards them, watching their interaction and pressed her lips together.

She saw how close Gavi was sitting beside Dante, and how happy he looked while they talked about something in whispers.

’It seems that, Gavi really likes Dante.’ She thought to herself, smiling a little.

And Dove lowered her head again, different emotions swirling in her eyes.

Maybe, the situation would be a little helpful if Dante did not have someone in his life. Then maybe, she could at least have the slightest courage to entertain her feelings.

But what it is now is worse.

She peeked her head up to look at him once more and sighed again.

A thought struck back at her. Even if he did not have anyone in his life, what made her think that he would choose her, if she gave her feelings a go.

It would not be wrong to say that, Dante was the epitome of male charm. He had almost everything that a man would want to achieve in his life. And almost everything that a woman would want in her partner, from what Dove has seen until now.

And at this, any woman would be willing to throw herself at him, Dove was sure of that. On top of that, given his background, it would not be surprising if some princess was already dreaming her prince charming as him.

And she? She was not on his level yet. And on top of that, she was a woman with a child. Why would such a sought out man want to entangle himself with someone like her?!

And just like that, one self demeaning thought led to another, and at the end she just felt hopeless about her feelings with him.

If the people who had been associated with her in business or practically were to know about the things that were going on in his mind right now, then they would surely have gotten a heart attack.

Because this person lacking so much self confidence wasn’t the ruthlessly confident Dove that they interact with, who believes she can get anything that she has put her mind too.

But, well *sigh*, someone has to be pathetic in something. And apparently, Dove is pathetically under confident in the matter of love.

At one side, Dante would steal glances of Dove with eyes full of love and hopefullness. While on the other hand, Dove would also do the same, her eyes carrying a hint of longing but heart carried hopelessness.

Hours tocked away. And it was already time to clock out.

The employees started to leave the building.

But Dove stayed behind a little longer. After all, she wanted to leave only after she completed the work she had in hand, which would take a little more time.

And finally, when she was done, it was a late for her usual clocking out hour. But not to late for the night.
