"Mommy? Mommy!"
Athena jumped out of the thoughts she was in after hearing Ace’s loud voice, calling her.
She looked at him with widened eyes and found him looking at her with a confused frown and a cute
little pout.
An apologetic smile immediately came up on her face.
"I am so sorry, baby! Mommy was thinking something."
She apologised while kissing his cute nose, making him giggle.She laughed seeing his scrunched up
nose and kissed it again.
"What do you think, mommy?" He asked in a cute and confused tone as he looked up at her from the
kitchen slab where he was sitting at that moment.
They were currently in the kitchen, preparing dinner together.
She was cooking while her cute little bundle of happiness and joy was giving her company.
‘I don’t want you to cut your finger, so I will watch you cook" He said so when she tried to make him
watch the cartoon so that she could cook.
But couldn’t deny his demand after he presented it so cutely.
She can’t imagine her life without him! Goddess knows what will happen to her if she ever has to stay
away from him!
"Nothing important, baby." She said before turning at the stove to look at the lasagna she was cooking
for dinner.
She heard from Patricia that lasagna is Dominic’s favourite food.
Hence she was cooking his favourite food, thinking that might cheer up his mood a little bit.
That’s if he comes out from that office.He hasn’t come out of the office room ever since he entered
there at noon.He didn’t even come out for lunch or had lunch.
She tried to call him but he shut her off completely.She felt hurt and empty.
But still kept her ego to herself which didn’t let her accept that she wanted his attention.
There she goes again.
Lost in his thoughts.
She didn’t know if this was the mate bond or something else but the level of irritation and bothered she
was feeling can’t be explained in words.She just wanted him to act normal.She just wanted him to be
back to his previous way, even if that means becoming his cold and rude way.
At least he was interacting with her somehow then!
"I know what you’re thinking, mommy." Ace suddenly spoke up, taking her attention to him.
She was a little taken aback by the serious look on his face.She just realised how similar he looked to
Dominic at that moment.
Even though Ace looked a lot like her, his expressions made him look like a splitting copy of Dominic.
He was an angry young man like his father, the thought made her smile.
His smile, his expressions, his reaction and everything, it was enough to let the whole world know
whose son he was.He didn’t need the scent to prove that and she could say Dominic had noticed it all
as well before finding out about the truth.
But he didn’t say anything because she didn’t let him even have those thoughts.
But the longer Ace was staying with Dominic and growing up, the more he was becoming like his
father! She turned off the gas and put the pot down.
Then she poured it in a serving bowl before giving her attention back to her son.
The dinner was ready.
She needs to try her luck once again in calling Dominic.
If he doesn’t come out this time, she was going to either use Ace to coax him out or break down the
door and pull him out.
"I see, you know what I am thinking, huh?" She asked in a playful tone before picking him up in his
arms and looking at him with a smile.
He nodded his head with a grin.
"Yes, mommy." He said with a mysterious glint in his eyes which made her look at him with a raised
eyebrow.
"So, tell me what I am thinking. Share it with mommy."
She said with a smile before picking up a dish with her other hand carefully. She was wearing a glove
which was preventing the heat of the hot bowl from reaching her hand a little.
She needed to walk inside the dining room fast before she lost her grip over it and it fell all over the
ground.She checked everything inside the kitchen once again before turning around to leave.Then she
walked out of the kitchen with Ace and a dish in her hands.
As it was already dinner time, she was setting up the dining table.
"You won’t be angry?" Ace asked after a lot of thinking over if he should share this with her or not.
She looked at him with squinted eyes even though there was a smile at the corner of her lisp.
Her son was getting smarter with his words everyday.
He was considering her temper before talking!
"You are getting so smart, huh? Naughty kid! Tell me, what’s going on in your little cute head.I will not
be angry.I can never get angry at you, my baby "She said with a big smile as she landed a side kiss on
his forehead while walking still.
"You are thinking of my super hero, right?" Ace suddenly spoke up out of nowhere.
She was doing things very casually and she wasn’t ready for this innocent question from her son The
question made her stop on her way abruptly She didn’t realize when her one leg got tangled with
another and before she knew it, the dish was slipping away from her hand and she was falling down
Her eyes widened and the only thing that came to her mind at that moment was to save Ace from the
fall So she didn’t think of anything else and let go of the dish completely and embraced Ace tightly,
ready to take all the pain for her That’s when she heard someone shouting, "CAREFULLY"
