Chapter 38: Chapter 38

Adrianna POV.

Who does he really think he is? I can't believe what just happened here but I am so happy that we have sorted out our issues. At least I can now live peacefully in this mansion.

I looked around his office and it was all black doesn't he know that he should mix with at least one bright colour? I feel the urge to beat him up so that he can learn somethings but honestly, who am I kidding? Having enough of his office, I walked out hoping Ivan had already come from the hospital.

I walked into the living room and found Mike and Abigail but I didn't find the person who I wanted to see badly.

I raised my eyebrows at them and Mike shook his head.

"Where is Ivan?" I asked.

"When we arrived, he ran and said that he is going to your room," Abigail said.

"Ooh," was the only thing I could say at the moment.

As I was about to turn around and go to my room, a voice stopped me.

"Mom, I can't find Ria in her bedroom. Do you know where she went? Or did Uncle Ace throw her out?" He asked as he walked downstairs. Apparently, he had not yet seen me.

"Honey, have you looked properly?" Mike asked.

"Ye….." He was answering before he spotted me. He ran towards me, almost falling down.

"Slow down little tiger," I said as I held him.

"I missed you, Ria," he said as he hugged me tightly as if he was afraid that I would run away.

"I am so bored," he complained, still in my arms.

"So what did you want to do?" I asked him because I had nothing on my mind and I was tired staying in my room either way.

"Yesterday, you promised that you would take me out for an ice cream," he said and I raised my eyebrows.

"When did I?" I asked back.

"Yesterday during dinner time," he complained.

"Yes, now I remember, I promised you an ice cream but not us going out for an ice cream," I told him and he pouted, making me shake my head.

"But I want to go out,"he complained.

"You know that I don't have the right to take you out, right?" I asked him hoping that he would get what I was trying but the fact that he is always stubborn, makes me get annoyed.

"But….Uncle Ace isn't here. We won't tell him and if he gets to know, I will protect you from him," he said and I looked at him with admiration. I was about to talk when we heard footsteps and he told me to keep quiet.

"What has Uncle Ace done?" Vincenzo asked as he got into the room but by the look on his face, I knew he had heard a lot more than just his name being mentioned.

"Nothing that concerns you," I answered and he raised his eyebrow followed by a smirk.

"I thought that we….," he said then kept quiet. I knew what he wanted to say and it made me blush profusely.

"Just get lost Vincenzo," I warned him while glaring at him.

"If I were you, I would have been good so that I can allow both of you to go out," he said with mischief. Does he really think that I will win? I smirked internally. I patted Ivan's hair and gave him a wink which made him smile.

Walking towards Ace, I tiptoed making sure I was the same height as him.

"I really thought we had made peace," I whispered. "I guess then I won't be kissing you again," I said while stroking his dick. Later, I stepped backwards. I looked at him and saw that he was trying so hard to maintain his composure and mostly his erecting dick. He looked at me and I smirked, daring him to say no.

"Do I really have a say in this?" He asked softly.

Pretending to be thinking, I smiled before answering him," no."

He exhaled and nodded his head. "You can go then," he said and I gave him a genuine smile. I think he wasn't expecting it cause he looked shocked but hid it too fast. I could see everyone's shocked faces.

"Did Uncle Ace just agree?" Ivan asked because he was also shocked.

"It seems so. Now let us get out of here before he changes his mind," I said as we started running out of the house.

"What just happened here?" I heard Abigail asking when we left the house.

"Should we use the car or walk?" I asked him.

"I have never really gone for a walk," Ivan said with a low voice. Too shy to admit the truth.

"Then walk it is," I said and his face lit up.

I may as well take him to the park cause I highly doubt he has ever been in one. We walked across the road while talking about different things. He was also running, playing with the flowers he saw on the road. Seeing him happy made me also happy. I saw him halt and I looked at him confusingly.

"What is wrong dear?" I asked and he pointed in the opposite direction.

"Is she blind?" He asked. I looked at the directions and saw an old woman using a white cane having difficulty in crossing the road.

"Yes, she is using braille," I answered him.

His eyes showed how curious he was and I raised my eyebrows.

"Can I get a white cane too?" He asked and I chuckled.

"You are not blind love. A white cane is used by blind people when they walk. It guides them on where they are going and to figure out whether there is something or someone in front of them," I explained. From his expression, I knew that he had understood what I said.

"Can we help her?" He asked and I smiled at him before replying.

"Sure. Come on," I said as I held his hand so that we could cross the road.

After we did, he rushed to the old woman taking her hand in his. The woman looked in our direction even though she couldn't see.

"Who is it?" She asked unsettlingly.

"I am Ivan. I want to help you cross the road," he said and I smiled.

"Ooh little boy. How will you help me and I can tell you are so small?" The woman asked.

"Aunty Ria is here with me. She will help us," he said and looked up to me. I guess he wants me to make my presence known.

Aunty? But I shrugged it off.

"Hello ma'am," I greeted.

"Hello child," she greeted back.

"I guess you want to cross on the other side right?" I asked her so that we could be sure that is what she wanted.

"Yes dear," she answered with a smile.

"Okay, we will head you. Ivan holds my hand as you hold hers," I inspected the little boy.

"Okay," he said and did as I said. We crossed the road slowly until we were on the other side.

"We are here," Ivan said happily.

"Thank you so much for your kindness. Not everyone can do what both of you have done," she said.

"It's not a big deal. It was nice and great helping you out," Ivan said.

He is always so wise. He makes me crave to want kids.

"We will be taking our leave now," I said.

"Okay. Thank you once more," she said as she squeezed Ivan's hand.

"Welcome," I said as I pulled Ivan away from her.

"It was really nice helping her out," he said and I nodded my head in agreement.

I saw an ice cream parlour in front of us.

"Come on, let us get an ice cream.over there then we can go over to the park," I told him.

"Will you take me to the park?" He asked, a little surprised.

"Yes. Since we are not in the house, let us at least get all the fun we can. Okay?" I asked.

"Sure. I can't wait to see what it looks like!" He exclaimed happily.

Yap! I was definitely right. He has never been in a park! But I understand them though. They can't risk it, he is the nephew of the Italian don.

We walked towards the woman who was selling and got our flavours. Since we were going to the park, we could buy some more when we got there. Ivan chose strawberry flavoured but I was in the mood for blueberries so I got one. We continued walking. Apparently, I discovered it wasn't so far from their mansion. But I knew that I had to keep a close watch over him cause I really don't want him to get lost. If he does, this time, I would be blamed and I don't want that. I have just started getting along with Ace and I don't want to ruin it.

I took him to different play stations and he even made some friends. I saw him flirting with a girl and the girl was blushing, seeing this made me chuckle. Truly, he does spend his time with Mark. He then took the girl's hand and took her to a nearby bush, he took a flower and placed it on the girl's hair. I wonder how he is so romantic. I am sure he has learned that and a few more things from Mark and maybe Ace cause they are pretty close. When I saw that the time had flown and it was getting late, I called him and we headed back home.
