Chapter Forty

The lunch went fine and full of awkwardness. I'm glad Charlie gets too clingy of me. He wants me to play with him and I gladly oblige. I finally have my reason to leave the table and play with him on the small playground in the restaurant.

I'm so thankful that this establishment is child friendly.

"Mama, this is yellow" Charlie pointed a yellow butterfly on the wall.

My heart just melted. Gosh I didn't expect that being called a mom will be this heart-warming. OMG! This will put me in tears.

"Yes, baby that is color yellow. Very good" I ruffled his hair. He gave me fulfilled smile.

"Mama" he called me again

"Yes baby?" I looked at him and he pointed at an animation of family that is painted in the wall. The family is composed of mom, a dad and a little daughter. They are holding each other hand. They have their house as their background.

"Family?" he asked and I nod.

"Hmm, me and daddy" he counted using his cute little hands. "And you" he happily shows me three fingers.

My heart wrenches with how happy he is believing that I can be his mom just like that. Now, I regret saying yes to him. But saying no means breaking his heart too. I just wish Tres will find someone soon. Someone who will treat him right and will treat Charlie as special as her own child.

"Chayi, let's play" Ace suddenly appeared with his toy. They got so busy playing with each other. I am just staring at them. Sometimes I am taking a stolen pictures of them because they are just so cute.

"You want a child?" That voice brings back my nervousness. I can't believe he followed me here. Or am I just assuming things?

"Yeah, I'll ask my boyfriend" I casually said.

I don't actually know what I'm saying. Boyfriend? Really Heaven Amelie? The last time you had a boyfriend was four years ago and that was actually him.

He laughs. I looked and glared at him.

Actually, the boyfriend that I am talking about is my anime and korean crushes which in reality can't give me a child. They are all just in my imagination.

"You can't fool me. Boyfriend huh?" he challenges me.

Did he know that I do not have one?

How did he know then?

Hmmm well he is Deus Cavelli he has access to everything. It will not shock me anymore if he knows where I was from the beginning.

"Tsss. Okay you got me. I don't need one." I stick my tongue out at him.

"We maybe miles away but still I know everything about you." I see him smirk. He still has the charm and everything that can make every woman fall for him. The charm that can make me fall for him, again.

I hate the feeling.

He can still make my heart beat so fast.

He can still make me shiver.

He still has the same effect on me.

Darn.

That's why I am trying my best to avoid him because I know I can't resist him. I think I'm not yet over him. I can't even look at other guy the same way I look at him.

"Whatever" I made face at him. He laughed

"You finished your college Magna Cum Laude. You are managing your parents’ restaurant and other businesses here.” I am amazed with the amount of information he knows about me.

“You love eating gelato every Saturday because it's sort of a reward for yourself after a very long and tiring week. You tried to date a guy named Cole after college but you still love me that's why you guys didn't work out." my jaw dropped with his last words. The nerve of him.

"Excuse me?" I shoot daggers at him to kill his boastfulness but he just walked away laughing. Damn him. He just went here to tease me huh. Tsss

With everything he said I guess he has someone following me. Why is he doing this? Didn't he have his own family already? He should not act this way. He should be more mature and leave me alone.

"The Cavelli's Golden Trio is so handsome as ever." Ali stands beside me and I really don't want to deal with anyone today specially her and my brother. I'm sure they will just tease me.

"Did Deus talk to you? I saw that he went here. What did he say? What did he say?" she excitedly used her elbows to budge me.

"He didn't say anything." I lied because she will laugh her ass off if she knew.

"He was so vocal of how he misses you. He's so sweet." she didn't stop pestering me. Aughhh.

"I think you two should talk. Maybe clear things out. You don't have any idea what's going on and it's time for you to hear things out. Give him a chance"

I don't know what to think. Am I really missing a lot of things?

After lunch we separate ways again. The Old Cavelli's have something planned ahead so we need to go but nevertheless they promise that they will meet me again before they go home.

As for Charlie and Ace they are here with me in my room, and will stay with me till dinner together with their Nannies. Primo and Namika is using the time to have quality time together. Tres will be attending some meeting regarding work later at two.
