Chapter Fifty - Being Named As A Possessive Person.

GRACE'S POV

"Grace, you really are spitfire." It was Alex's mother. I was shocked and embarrassed a bit. I gave her an awkward smile not realizing what else to do.

"At first, I thought you were a weak girl, but now I can tell why my son couldn't look anywhere but at you." She said and I turned to see Alex was talking to a group of people but his eyes kept on looking at me. I shooed him and laughed.

"I...I don't know what to say. But, I know how to protect my loved ones from evils." I told her. She nodded.

"I'm Lydia Chadwick. I've never introduced myself, except to you." My eyes widened. It felt such an honor.

"I'm grateful to have gotten such an opportunity. I thank you for your courtesy, Mrs.Chadwick." She nodded.

"I can tell my son found the one and he's gonna let you go. You better call me 'Mom'. It's a good habit." She said and my eyes widened and suddenly I got all emotional and I gulped down.

"My... mother isn't with me anymore. She left the world two years ago. So, it's really close to me. It might take some time." I told her and she looked at me shocked.

"No one has ever denied to anything I say. But, today, I really feel you are too good for my son. I'm glad you didn't accept my proposal soon." She smiled at me. She really was a complicated woman.

"Take care of Alex and don't hurt him. I haven't seen him this happy in five years. I miss my son and you're getting him back." She said and placed a small peck on my hair and left me speechless. Alex came to me.

"Did my Mom just kissed your hair?" He asked shocked and I nodded, dumbfounded.

"She asked me to call her 'Mom' but I denied. I told her it will take time and she was glad about blame denying it."I said still looking at the woman who just walked away and was talking to other people like nothing happened.

"If Mom asked you that, you've won her heart over and over again. I'm proud of you. And you denied her and she wasn't angry, well you should be on cloud nine now." He said and I laughed and looked at him.

"Stop it. At this moment, Dory is like a mother to me. She has been taking care of me like her own daughter." I said and looked at Dory who was busy doing some work or other.

"Grace, what did I do to get you? I can't believe it, really. I don't know what to do." I looked up and asked him one thing. It might sound like a small thing, but it was a big thing.

"Call me 'Ace'." His eyes widened in surprise but slowly smile crept on his face and he hugged me.

"Ace! My God, I can't believe I forgot about that. My Ace." He said and I giggled. I pushed him away and he gave me a face and I scrunched my face and then smiled. I turned away and went, more like ran, to talk to Elle and Celia who were busy chit-chatting.

"Alex, come on, I'm so tired." I went to him and said he was pretty busy on his phone. He let me rest my head on his shoulder and caressed my hair.

"Someone was running away." He muttered and I pulled away as I glared him. He showed me two fingers, signaling that I wait until he finishes the call. I nodded.

"Grace!" Elle called me and I walked to her. The stilettos were killing me already.

"Yes?" I hoped she'd wait, but with that smile, I could see they were gonna leave and have other things to do.
