Chapter 83: 83

"Shall we go inside?" dad said as we reached the front of his place. Basically, it will be our place.

I nodded and he carried me inside when my eye fell on mom, that weirdo uncle and the other aunt whose mom hates sitting on the blood bleeding.

"What happened?" I asked but before I could get down on my own mom came to me and pulled me from dad instant making me unstable.

"What took you so long?" She sounded panicked but I hugged her, making her calm.

"So now you started giving me bribes like this?" she pinched my nose making me chuckle.

"Did you prepare my room?" mom asked, looking at a person while the other aunt said, "No, you can’t do this."

"Why can’t I? Explain!!" mom said.

I think here again a fight started after I left.

"I will not hand over my room beside James’", oh it’s about this that they are arguing about. No issue. I don’t even want mom to be with that uncle but dad so I will act as a helper.

"And who are you to say about this?" Mom raised her voice.

"Iii...." aunt shuttered.

"You can’t say?" mom again about to say I Interrupted.

"Momma", I held her cheeks.

"Can’t I sleep with dad today?" as I said mom looked at me with those shocked eyes.

"H-how did you?" she stopped.

I-i m doomed.

"Who told you about this?" she asked me again.

I was about to say dad pulled me to his arm standing in front of me as a barrier from me.

"Don’t talk like this with a child", he said.

"Ha child? So now you are going to teach me how to be with my child?"

"Yeah if I had to I would do as she is my child."

"Oh, so she suddenly became yours when you weren’t even aware of her birth?"

"It’s because you didn’t let me know."

"I didn’t or you just didn’t want to."

"Ayla it’s not like that. Just how many times do I need to talk about this?" Dad sounds frustrated.

"I never said to give me an explanation because I know your real. So give me back her and I will go to my room," she said.

"But mom, I want to sleep with him", I looked at her with puppy eyes.

"So you don’t want mom anymore?" She looked hurt.

"No, I want to sleep with both of you", I shouted but couldn’t hide my flustered face.

"Together?" dad asked.

"Yeah", I nodded.

Mom, dad stared at each other for a while. The situation too looked strange but I can feel some warm sensation coming out from dad giving me hope my wish will be done.

"Ok, I will agree but it’s only for Ayla", she said and took me to dad’s room while dad was showing us his room. It was so huge while the walls are painted with sky and everything is so freaking organised but mom’s room is usually so messy because I do it for them.

"I love the room", I said while jumping like a rabbit when dad picked me up again.

"So will you stay with me always? My little princess?" She kissed my forehead.

"Ummm, yeah I will", I jumped again but this time it was not on the surface but on the bed which is super soft like cotton candy and jumpy too.

"The bed is so good. It’s my first time sleeping in one", I said looking at them while mom hid her face while dad’s face turned gloomy.

"So where did you used to sleep before?" dad asked.

"I used to sleep in a bed but the mattresses are so rough but mom always keeps a soft bed sheet above them so that it won’t hurt me," I said while I kept observing toward every corner of the room.

As I said he didn’t ask me any further but I heard a knock.

"Come in", dad allowed.

"I need to take Miss. Ayla to have a bath", she said while I quietly went with her. I don’t know how I became so obedient when I never was once.

"Tell me what is going on?" Aaron asked.

"What?" Ayla replied.

"What did she just say?"

"What did she say?"

"Look Ayla, now you are trying to piss me off," Aaron said.

"As if you are never pissed", she laughed.

"It’s not about anything else but Ayla", he held her arm.

"And why are you so concerned with this when you didn’t even know till now her existence?" Ayla said.

"Ayla, please don’t get started", he tried to be calm.

"I was silent till now and you are the one who started so don’t blame me", Ayla tried to walk away.

"And I started because she said she has never been on this type of bed so I obviously would be concerned about how she was leading her life till now.

As her father I do need to know how she has been living or whether she is happy or not", he said.

"Yeah so let me clear that where I used to stay didn’t have this much facilitates the way your entire mansion has not even like my parent’s house. It was me, Jennifer and Kylie who were cohabiting at the same place even though it was not so small but enough for three of us and we didn’t have any issues.

But as a child, Ayla should compare this place to the old place as she understands what she sees so before she thought that was the best and this time it’s the best.

And the last thing, please don’t make it say like I’m abusing her like a stepmother as you don’t know the entire story but I do. I know how I live with her ." her eyes are almost filled with anger as well as tears but she hides it.

"I didn’t blame you", he held her shoulder as he approached.

"Then what are you doing? From the moment you have seen her you have been asking how your child is living, what she is eating and how she is staying as if I’m eating my own child" when shouted.

"Shh, I never mean that", he pulled her to a hug while she was frozen in place, her eyes widened as if she wasn’t even expecting the hug but it eventually happened giving a shiver down her entire body.

"W- what are you doing?" she asked.

"Calming you down", he replied.

"I’m calm so there is nothing for you to do. Leave me!!!" she said and started pushing him from her.

"I know you are but I’m not."

"Stop all of this already", Ayla tried to push him slowly but he held her even tighter.

"You know this is not why I agree to be with you in the same room right?" she said.

"Yeah I know but this is what made me agree," he replied.

"What the fuck are you saying?" as she said she placed his palm above her lips.

"Shh, no curse, what if Ayla hears about this? It won’t be a good influence on her," he said.

"And let me clarify one thing I didn’t agree to all this for Ayla but you. Even if she is our child, the one who comes first is you. Ayla is first then little Ayla comes.

I know you must be thinking how cringe I sound but I swear I never was able to love someone the way I fell in love with you. For me, you are my everything. If you are not with me nothing will matter to me. It’s all trash without you so be with me." he almost pleaded to hold her.

"No, you are lying again." Ayla finally breaks free from his arms.

"Whatever you said is a lie."

"You have never ever loved me the way I did."

"Every time you just pleasantly used me but nothing. And if it weren’t for Ayla then you and I wouldn’t be standing here but you would have married Chloe in a few months and you would say that you want Ayla’s custody and make her Ayla’s stepmother."

"So stop making me have hope when you are only using me."

She kept on saying to him.

"I’m not using you," Aaron said again.

"No, you did use me. You used me like crazy until the moment when I couldn’t recognise myself anymore. If it weren’t for Ayla I would be dead because she is the one making me alive. It’s because she looks like you, she talks like you, she behaves like you. She does nothing like me but only you. So someone I do think what if there will be a day when she says she doesn’t need a weak mom but a strong dad?

What will I do?"

"Ayla, there won’t be that day. Just be with me ok?" he said looking at her and waiting for a response.
