Touching The Heart Of Ace (SAMPLE)

Chapter 50

Sorry for yesterday. My internet is having serious problems. I hope they fix it soon.

There is a sequence which I dedicate to Hhaaaaaaaaaaaa

You will know when you read it, hon. You commented it and I added it. Thank you, love.

"Some of my friends are coming. Bring the baby down after fifteen minutes. They will be joining us for dinner. Make sure she does not vomit or piss in front of them. This is an important business meeting."

I nodded, if Lia was uncomfortable I could take her away to greenhouse.

"Where is she?" Janice asked tying her hair up in a beautiful ponytail. No wonder Robbie married her. She was elegant, beautiful and charming. We got along just fine, much to my surprise. I thought she hated me always but she was warming up to me.

Which made me feel bad because I... I could stop anytime I wanted as long as he did not follow me. We had not done 'anything' after she came home.

Janice followed me to her nursery. She gave her child a boop on the nose, making her giggle.

"This is kind of a family business dinner; could you please excuse us after introducing the child."

"Oh! Sure, sure. No problem."

"Good and wear a suit if you have one. Preferably black." She added and then went downstairs.

"Okay." Why should I wear a suit? I had several ones, should I not blend to the background? Wearing a suit was asking for attention but Janice wanted this to go smooth.

As long as I did not have to see husband and wife being so cosy together, I could manage.

"Come on, baby love, let us get ready." I picked up the baby who was finding her finger so amusing. She thrusted it to my face to show me. I pecked the drool covered finger making her coo.

I went through a lot of options before settling on a Versace one without tie. Not too catchy I guessed. Instead of making me more manly, suits made people confused about my gender, but this was Janice's event, I should not meddle in.

I could hear loud talks from downstairs and deduced Robert was home.

Yes, Robert.

My Robbie was nowhere to be seen. Except when we found ourselves alone and I was hiding from him.

I had only one person in this whole home I cared about and she was not happy to wear this frill frock. "Just for a few moments. Your mother bought it for you. It is so pretty, sweetheart."

She scowled but when I put on her favourite shoes, my baby was so happy, she started kicking me in merriment.

I was so nervous wearing this suit, hearing the voices downstairs rapidly increasing and then I could hear Janice talking to her friends about the beach house she loved so much.

"What do we do, Princess?" She gurgled at me.

"Yeah, you are right, we wait for some time, go downstairs, smile and come back to our room before dinner."

6.15 pm

I could do this. I could do this. Robert was there and my baby girl was also there. This was not my party where I had to be overly polite. They were strangers but they were not here for me. Everything was fine.

I carried my baby girl secure on my hip and walked down the stairs, when the voices calmed down a bit.

Crap!
