Chapter 0194
How are you doing?” mom asks through the phone. “And how are the baby and Noah?”
Once again they were out of the country for a business meeting. It didn’t come as a surprise to me that
they had their own private jet since Rowan did too. He had his own and there was also a family one. I
have never used his. Never been inside it. Probably because we rarely went to any trips together.
When my wealth rose to great heights, I thought of buying a jet of my own, but I quickly shot the idea
down. What the hell would I use it for? I rarely went anywhere that will necessitate me needing one of my
own. If I had to go somewhere, I usually hired one or I’d just fly business class.
“Ava?”
“Sorry mom. We’re all doing well. We just miss you guys so much”
And it was true. They’ve been gone for a week and they’ll be away for another week. Noah and I missed them like crazy. It’s
surprising how they’ve become such a big part of our lives in such a short time.
“We miss you too. Your dad says hi by the way. He said he’ll talk to you in the evening when he isn’t so
busy”
“That’s all right”
“So, have you bought anything new for the baby? Four months isn’t long. Soon he or she will be here” just as always, excitement
rings in her voice when she talks about the baby.
“How am I supposed to buy anything when everyone around me already has? This baby will have more
than in enough and a lot to choose from” I laugh.
The baby’s room was full of stuff. I thought that mom, dad, Letty and Corrine were bad. That was before
Reaper came into the picture.
He has been sending cute little gifts since I allowed him to be part of his or her life. I don’t even get when or where he goes
shopping when he is in hiding. Everything he has bought is in color pink. Just like with
Noah and Ethan, he also believes that it will be a baby girl.
My smile falls as soon as thoughts of him pass through my mind. I know I promised him, but I can’t help but feel guilty. This was
the man that murdered my adoptive father after all. We may not have gotten
along with Father, but he still raised me.
“I can’t wait for the baby to be born. I missed Noah’s birth so I’m making up with this baby” her voice pulls
Can I call you back mom? I was meeting up with Letty and Corrine for a lunch date and I see them pulling
up
It probably wasn’t them, but my mood had already been shot down to hell.
“Sure. Talk to you later. I love you Ava”
“I love you too mom” I say, then hang up the phone.
I sigh as I place my phone down at the table. The moment I do that, my conflicting thoughts immediately
attack.
Father wasn’t the only issue associated with Reaper. There was also Rowan. Sure, he wasn’t my favorite person, but he was
Noah’s father. Reaper was hell bent on revenge and losing Rowan would destroy Noah.
There was also the likelihood that he would go after those Rowan loved. Noah loved the same people, well except for Emma that
is. I just didn’t know what to do because part of me felt like I had made a mistake giving him a chance. The other part just told me
to trust my instincts and my instincts told me it
was the right move.
“What are you thinking so hard about?” Corrine’s voice startles
