Chapter 42 LAYLA Instead of taking us to a restaurant. Theo drove us to a skyscraper and we rode the elevator to the top floor where a penthouse was located. When I asked where we were, he told me that he bought this penthouse close to Alpha Alexander’s place so he could come and stay here as long as he wanted and also because he didn’t want to stay in a hotel whenever he came. He didn’t say it, but I knew he bought this place because he wanted to be close to Ayla and me. My heart melted as we entered the lavish penthouse. Ayla jumped all around, running from one corner to another with the excuse of checking out her friend’s new house. Theo ordered the dinner from the restaurant in the building. After we were done eating, a chocolate cake was brought up which made Ayla happy instantly. Theo knew Ayla was crazy about chocolate. Chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, chocolate milk-She can’t resist any of that. We celebrated the start of Ayla’s new journey in school together and then settled down on the couch in the sitting area to watch Frozen, which was my Baby’s favorite movie. Theo turned off the lights, letting the light of the screen and the scenery dimly illuminate everything, Now, we three are sitting on the big couch staring at the screen as Elsa runs away from her castle and starts her journey toward making an ice castle for herself. Theo is sitting in the other comer, with his arm spread over the headrest. The tips of his fingers slightly touch my shoulder, making me shudder from time to time. Ayla is sitting in the middle, munching on the popcorn as she giggles excitedly at some scenes in the movie that excite her. When we are together like this, it doesn’t feel weird. Theo gives me a semblance of stability that I crave in life and I don’t think he even notices that Something about him is just so comforting. His whole existence is a big block of p peace. Ayla’s light snores bring me out of my thoughts. I glance at her to find her resting her head against Theo’s waist, sleeping soundly. Usually, she doesn’t sleep unless I pat her but with Theo, she finds the same peace I do. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
* Let me put her to bed.” He whispers carefully so she doesn’t wake up. I nod, shooting him a soft smile. Theo scoops Ayla’s small body in his arms and carries her up the flight of stairs. I pull my legs to my chest and rest my chin on my knee as my gaze drifts to the clock hanging above the screen. It’s already half past ten. Alpha Alexander asked me to return by eleven. Even if we set out now, I don’t think we will reach so I guess, we are staying here tonight. He can get angry all he wants. I don’t need to care. Theo comes back after tucking Ayla in bed and plops down beside me. My heart misses a beat as I sneak a quick glance his way and find him dressed in only a white button-down shirt and black slacks.

My cheeks flush when I realize he has been staring at me all along and he probably knew I was checking him out. I thought men offer alcohol to women when they are alone. “I grin, placing my elbow on the headrest and leaning my head in my palm. – You don’t like alcohol. You like ice cream. So, if I want to be on your good side, I should offer you ice cream, right?” He 12:39 Fri, 17 May Chapter 42 smiles, keeping his eyes on me. You are good at this. “I shake my head, grinning.

And? What else do you want, Theo? What do you want the most right now?” I caress the back of his hand with my thumb. Theo’s eyes search my face, lingering a little too long on my lips.
