Touching The Heart Of Ace (SAMPLE)

Chapter 65

I smiled at the mangoes on our dining table. I shook my head as I peeled another one because I was not joking when I said I was craving Alphonso. We were almost asleep after another round of 'playing' by my demon and I blurted it out of nowhere at midnight.

Tada! Alphonso mangoes for my Angel.

Robbie was such a dork sometimes to write that on our card.

But I ate one, first thing in the morning, then another during breakfast, then another one as juice, now this was my snack.

God, these were so delicious.

I did not know when he slipped out of our bed. But when I woke up early in the morning so I could have 'me time' without my babies tucking themselves under me, Alphonso was on my dining table in their cute wooden boxes.

I burped a little because I was basically shoving pieces after pieces in my mouth.

Dammit, Ace, slow down.

I put rest of them safely away, so I could pull them out in less than an hour. Hey, don't judge me... they are so yum!

"DAVEY...." My Little Lia called out and came running with her arms already stretched out for me to lift her up and I did.

"Hey, Princess." I kissed her cheeks and furrowed my eyes seeing her troubled.

"Daddy angee..."

"At you?"

"No... phopho."

"Ah! It is okay baby... Daddy is scolding meanies in his office." But she did not look so satisfied with my answer and I frowned. It was not the first time she saw him lose his cool on phone. It never really bothered her and Robbie consciously moved away if he did not like what he was hearing from the other side.

Lia popped her thumb in her mouth and refused to give me her hand to hold.

That bad, huh?

We were trying to let that bad habit go and normally giving me that drool covered baby hand to hold usually worked.

I took a piece of Alphonso and gave her to eat but she turned her face away.

Okay... So daddy was mad, really really mad.

I kissed her forehead. "Let us go find Daddy." She dropped her head on my shoulder and sucked on her thumb.

Wow! Lia was right.

"...DO YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW IT?... I don't care... then take it to court, we will see that there... I want a divorce and that is final... It should not matter to anyone... Don't act so surprised... I asked you to file one before she got pregnant, do you know how old my baby is now?... Yeah, exactly!... FIND A WAY!!! YOU ARE THE LAWYER!"

I stood right behind him and slowly put my right hand under his shirt, caressing his tensed back.

"... Terry, either you file one or you are fired."

He ended the call and I took his phone from him before he could fling it across the room.

"Give a kiss to daddy." I told Lia and she leaned to her daddy but Robbie plucked her off me and kissed her instead.

"Daddy is fine, Baby Love. Just stupid people."

"No, stupee, Daddy. Davey say stupee peeple cawl peeple stupee."

"Yeah, coz your Davey so smart, Baby Angel."

Lia nodded approvingly.

I smiled. Robbie called Lia what he calls me with a 'Baby' in front.
