Chapter 175
Avery’s pov
After spending a bit more time with Xaden and Kaylee, Xade told me it would be best to visit Mom now rather than later. As we head to the car, I can’t help but be riddled with nerves. She doesn’t know I am here….
Avery,” Xade calls out my name, pulling me out of my nervous thoughts and I realize that we are now in the vehicle. He leans over me to buckle me in safely. “You’re lost in that pretty little head of yours again,” he utters worriedly. I am, there’s no denying it.
I smiled shyly because I could not open my mouth and lie to him. ” Just thinking, nothing to worry about,”
Xade frowns. ” Anything that worries you worries me. What is it?”
I chewed on my lower lip and then release it when I am about to speak. “I am afraid of how she’ll react,” I admit and he reaches out to interlock our fingers.
You’re her precious daughter, however she react, she’ll love you either way,” he whisper and the corner of my lips tug into a small smile and I nod. After a few more comforting words we hit the road.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The drive to Mom’s was quiet but we had to stop on the way to get the dress and a few other stuff one of the men bought on such short notice. I smile at him gratefully and Xade parked on the side of the road, the windows to give me more privacy to change.
I move to the back and begin to peel off his clothes, his eyes staring at me in the rearview mirror. I rolled my eyes. ” I’d tell you to look away but you’ve already seen every inch of me,”
He grinned, looking proud. “I know every freckle and birthmark,” he said boastfully, making me smile as I put on the pretty flowery dress after I slip on the panties and bra. After I was done I hop back to the front, buckling myself and looked at the slippers the man also bought to go with the dress. It was gold and pretty and my size.
“How do you know what size I wear in everything?” He knew everything down to my bra size.
His eyes twinkle and he teasingly pinches the hem of the dress. “I made it my mission to know every single thing about you years ago. Even before you were mine,”
I narrowed my eyes playfully. “Should I be concerned?”
He smirked and feigned a concerned look while nodding. ” Probably. I mean that’s called obsession right? I am obsessed with you even more now,”
I flushed and swatted his arm.
We should hurry before it gets dark.”
With a chuckle Xade starts the vehicle and we’re off to Mom’s. When we pulled up ten minutes later my heart starts to pound in my chest. I didn’t have to tell her about the pregnancy now but I wanted to.
Especially now that there was a threat in my life and I didn’t know what the future held. She has to know now.
I took in a shaky breath and look at Xade nervously. He leans across the center console to cup my cheek and pull me into a soft kiss that grounded me. He traces over my cheek with his thumb tenderly.
“I’m with you every step of the way,” he promises.
Grateful for him grounding me I nod and plant a soft kiss on his lips before getting out of the vehicle and walked up to the door hand in hand.
The familiar house brought on memories of Xade and me and I smile, easing even more.
Xade pulls me to his side as he lifted his hand to knock on the door. As his knuckles hit the wood we wait for her to answer. Seconds pass by before the door creaks open, and my mom’s surprised face stands in the doorway.
Avery?” she whispered as if she had just seen a ghost.
