Daddy's Love

Chapter 73: 73 - Fine

Carol is fine. Turns out it was a not so deep flesh wound. Grey, not so much.

I have gotten both of them home a couple of weeks back. Carol is being a champ really. Not fussing at

all apart from the times when we have to change the dressing on her wound.

I acted out when I saw all the blood. I told things I shouldn't have and I have apologized to Christian so

many times. He told me that its fine but I can clearly see that it is not.

He feels so guilty for killing Timothy although it wasn't intentional. He feels guilty that Alisha stabbed

Carol when she had come to stab him.

All he does is snuggle with either Ana or Carol. He doesn't talk much. I get to have sex but no cuddling

after.

Ana and Carol are thankfully fine and back to normal.

We are having ice-creams after dinner, all of us. The girls are jabbering and enjoying their ice creams.

Grey is concentrating more on the ice cream than he is on anyone else.

"Girls' quick, it's already past your bedtime. We will need to have a quick bath and then to bed." I say

and Grey looks up at me.

"I'll bath them and put them to bed. You go sleep, you must be so exhausted." Christian tells me.

Before I can say anything, the girls are all excited to let Christian give them a bath. So, I let him do it.

Christian cooked today despite my telling him not to, many times. He needs time to recuperate. He still

has a broken shoulder.

I settle on my bed after a quick shower and to my surprise I see an envelope with a ribbon on it with my

name.

I pick it up.

It has a ticket to Vegas and a note.

You deserve a holiday. Go, get one.

X

Holiday? Alone?

Is he feeling...? What?

I know he is not working. Where did he get the money from?

I am still sitting like a fool with the ticket in my hand when he comes in.

"I've put the girls to bed and that's for you." He says while stripping to his boxers.

"For me? What do you think I will do in Vegas alone?"

"Listen, we have been all over you these past weeks. You need some time off. I will take care of the

girls... I mean... I would understand if you'd want someone else too, Mark, Ron or anyone to look after

Carol... The tickets for day after and Carol is totally fine. She doesn't even need any medicines

anymore apart from the lotion for the scar... " He trails off when he sees the look on my face.

"What?" He asks.

"What are you even saying? All over me what? Ron and Mark to look after Carol? Have you gone

nuts? Buying me a ticket to Vegas? Where did you even get the money from?!" I say more loudly than I

would have liked.

"I am not your little."

"I know that!"

"So, stop treating me like one!" He shouts.

"Grey, seriously. I know you are hurt that I acted out that day. I am sorry. It wasn't your fault. I shouldn't

have said those things, alright? But don't be like this. It WASN'T YOUR FAULT AND I AM GODDAMN

SORRY. I WASN’T THINKING STRAIGHT."

"Why the Fuck are you shouting? I got you a gift, can't you just say thank you and get over it? Go out

have fun. You need it. Stop behaving like you have got a stick up your ass."

"I am behaving like I have a stick up my ass?" this is ludicrous.

He just turns around and goes off to sleep after rolling his eyes at me.

I go and hug him from behind.

"I am sorry. I really am. Please don't be mad at me. I wouldn't want to go anywhere without you and the

girls. What would I even do?"

He nods.

"It wasn't your fault. I know what I said but I swear on Carol and Ana I didn't mean a word. I was just

shocked and stressed and low on sleep so I wasn't thinking straight."

I gently turn him around and kiss him. He doesn't respond.

"I know you think I don't trust you to take care of Carol because she is my little or whatever other

Bullshit that's going on in your head... No no... Don't deny... I have noticed the way you've been around

here, the things you say and I can promise you I would have reacted the same way had it been Ana. I

mean I know what I did was wrong and if I could go back to change it I would but all I am trying to say C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

here is that I consider Ana as much mine as I consider Carol and I know you do the same. It was just

bad luck, nobody's fault." I stop gently when it looks like Christian's about to cry.

"But it was all because of me... I started it... "

"No. You've heard what Alisha said did you not? She wanted to hurt Carol because Timothy was in love

with him and she got insecure. So it wasn't your fault. They would have tried to do something either

ways. Both of them, they were crazy Vampires. Good riddance, I swear."

He sniffs, trying not to cry and I kiss him.

"About the ticket.... "I start.

"That's not refundable and you are not wasting that money. I got the money as an advance for a project

that I'll be starting on." He says.

"Guess, we'll just have to buy another one then." I say and kiss him again.

He grins.

"You did not ask me to marry you even once since you've been back from the hospital. It was the

medicines after all... "I tease him and he blushes. "Guess we will just have to have the honeymoon first

...."

And we kiss again.

And they live happily ever after ?
