Chapter 119 A smart little girl

For a moment, everyone froze. I poked her again to stay quiet.

“You’ll be the best Ava if you keep training” 1 said.

“We could go ice skating together, Ava. I would love to see you ice skate.”

She said, but my dad smiled widely.

“There will be a galla soon. We are all going to attend. Amber, dear, you are invited.”

I looked up for a moment, while Amber laughed like a child who got a piece of chocolate.

“Oh thank you, Spencer. I’ll be there for sure.”

“Good. I love to watch Ava skating.” Dad said.

“You can also come one day to the centre when she is training Seth added.

“Oh, could I? W

When she is training?”

“Afternoons. From four o’clock

“Perfect” She smiled.

Ava looked at me. Probably she expected me to say something against it, but I couldn’t.

was grateful to Lilly when she

came out to let us know the lunch was ready.

We all stood up after mum motioned to go in, and we walked into the house together. Ava stayed with me. I held her hand and I led her inside.

The lunch wasn’t quite as it was expected. Only Ava and I sat there in silence, and it seemed like no one cared about that.

Mam asked Amber about shopping, and they quickly agreed when they could go shopping together. Honestly, listening to them, I felt like this wasn’t my family. They were nothing like before.

Finally, when we finished lunch, we all went back outside, and my mum asked for some liquor and beer. Seth and dad opened two bottles for themselves. Dad looked at me.

“Gideon, have a beer.”

“No

thanks, I still have to drive.”

They looked at me, surprised.

“Gideon, stay with us. It’s a family event. Amber is going to stay too.”

“Well, I have something important to deal with, so I can’t t stay.”

“What have you got to do? Nothing should be more important than your family.” Mum told me that with a hint of anger in her voice. I knew I can’t fight with them, and I couldn’t find any acceptable explanation, so 1 just smiled at her, and said nothing.

My dad held a bottle of beer, and he gave it to me. I took it from him, and I had a sip, then I put it down on the table. Every single occasion when it was in my hand, I poured a little on the grass secretly. When my bottle was empty, I still held it in my hand, avoiding my dad to give me another. Fortunately, they were busy chatting with Amber, so they didn’t notice I drank nothing. When it was close to four o’clock, I started to be nervous. I wanted to leave, but I did not know how. I thought about going to the toilet and escaping.

“Gideon”

1 looked in the familiar voice’s direction to see little wa looking at me. She looked behind her back, then turned back.

“Gideon, please come in with me. I want you to watch a movie with me inside.”

I owned. That came at the worst time. I nodded, then I stood up. She held my hand and pulled me with him. As soon as we were inside, the little one

looked at me.

“What

“You want to leave“”

My little niece’s smartness surprised me, but I couldn’t be more grateful for that then.

“Yes,” I told her with a smile.

*1 go to my room to play. They won’t come after me

me after me for a while. They’ll think you are with me. But promise me I can meet her as soon as possible.”

I wrapped her in my arms, and 1 kissed her cheek.

“I promise.”

She smiled at me and nodded.

“Thank you.”

“You are welcome. Go now.”

“Okay”

I turned around, then I left. I jumped into my car, and 1 drove back home happily. First I showered, then got ready. I thought a suit would be too much for the occasion, so I took black trousers and a white shirt to wear. After I dressed up and looked in the mirror, I found myself elegant enough to join the biggest mafia leader’s family dinner at his mansion.

I rushed to my car. I thought about taking a present, but I knew it had to be really expensive and well organised, to make them surprised, which would take time, so I skipped the idea. Instead of that, I thought about popping into a flower shop to show respect towards the women in the family. I hoped they would understand the time they gave me was too short.

I bought a small bunch of yellow roses for Signora D’angeli, and a similar sized bunch of red roses for Alice.

I drove to the house. I still became nervous when I reached the main gate, but this time, just like last time, the guards let me in and let me drive to the house.

One of Riccardo’s guys waited for me already, and he politely led me into the building. We stopped in the living room, and he offered me to take a seat. He left to let the residents know I had arrived.

I remained standing at the window, and I waited for about five minutes, when I felt two arms wrapping around my waist from behind, and the familiar scent made me dizzy instantly. I turned around to see my beloved Alice smiling at me. To see her put me at ease. I held her in my embrace and I kissed her.

“I thought you won’t be able to come.” She said after our lips parted.

“I wouldn’t miss any occasion I can be with you” Her smile widened before she kissed my lips again.

“How could you leave from the family lunch?‘

I chuckled and shook my head.

“Someone is really curious.”

“Yes,” she replied seriously.

“You wouldn’t believe that if I say I’m watching a movie with Awa at this moment.”

Her eyes widened.

“You left her alone somewhere?” she nearly yelled at me in disbelief.

“Of course not. She is in Seth’s room in the Sullivan house. I would never leave my niece alone. She is only seven.”

Her facial expression changed to a calmed one.

“She is too smart, by the way.”

I told her, still keeping het in my ants,

“Who

“She invented how I could escape.

She frowned and looked at me questioningly.

“Does she know we are in contact?”

“Not really. I had to tell her I’m searching for you, but I made her promise she wouldn’t talk about this. But even if she promised me, she asked me one thing in exchange.”

“What
