Touching The Heart Of Ace (SAMPLE)

Chapter 52

"Why are you against it, Robbie? She is her grandmother and my Aunt Marie."

He was not budging. He looked so hot, with his jaw set like that.

"At least tell me, why not?" I lied on the bed; popping my head on my elbow. His eyes momentarily left mine and I fixed my shirt noticing he was staring at my exposed waist.

He smirked. "Nothing I haven't seen before."

"Don't try to change the topic." I knew what he was doing. "Everyone loves her so much, Robbie. Frankie can't let her go from his hands. Penelope is busy trying to make the perfect puree for our Princess. Why are you worried about her own grandmother?"

"I am not worried."

"Yeah right!"

A knock interrupted our video call. I put my finger on my lips to keep Robbie quiet and minimized the window.

Frankie was holding a whimpering precious angel in his arms. "Tired." He added and reluctantly handed over my baby.

"Oh, is that right sweetheart? Come here. Now, wave to Frankie and say good bye." She kept on staring and blinking at me but I took her arm and waved. "Bye Frankie, see you after my nap." I said in a baby voice.

"Look at you, all grown up, so fast." Frankie fondly booped my nose.

"Frankie, stop treating me like a kid."

"Never." He laughed. "See you soon, darling baby." He kissed her tiny fist and melted when she smiled.

I gently closed the door, and patted the yawning tired Baby Angel. I covered her ears with noise-proof caps and maximized the video call window. He was still waiting for me and I waved. I started walking to and fro, slowly rocking her to sleep.

She was so tired by playing all the time with everyone in this house. Robbie smiled when I lowered her to the swing, so he could clearly see her sleeping.

"So tell me why you don't you want me to take her to Aunt Marie."

He groaned. "Why do you always fight me?"

"I am not fighting you."

"You are. You are talking in that voice."

"What voice?"

"The voice you have when you think I am adorable trying to change your mind. Baby, please. She has lot of people there at your home to have fun with, why do you want to take her there?"

"First of all, I do not have a voice like that." Though I did find it adorable when Robbie thought I would just obey him like that. "Second, it is not about her having fun. These are very important people in her life. You did not object when we went to meet Uncle Fred. Why now?"

He turned his face away, not answering me.

"Well, if you don't want her to meet her grandmother, then talk to your Madam Claire. She is taking us tomorrow."

Robbie winced.

Oh you, big scaredy pussy cat!

I chuckled at his worried face. But he was serious, he really did not want me to take the baby there. And I did not like how he looked lost.

"Look Robbie, she needs to meet her grandmother, and Aunt Marie barely leaves her home now. Now that we are here, don't you think it is the right thing to do."

He was still not happy.

"How about we wait?" I loosened up a bit.

"Huh?"
