Mr.Knight's Second wife

Chapter 8 : Did he mean it?

Ananya's POV~

After eating and thinking about what to say to Austin. I went near the study to talk with Austin. Hoping atleast we can be friends as he never gonna love me the way I love him.

I went near the study and heard Austin voice.

"That's not going to happen...I promised myself..not to fall in love..", he said. My heart broke when he said that.

He can't move on from his love? What a great lover and husband...I guess I am not that lucky to get him. I smiled bitterly at my fate.

But I want to try..I will always give my care and love to him.

But is he going to accept me after knowing the truth which I hid from him?

That I can't give him the happiness of being a father...

"Really? Are you serious? Where did you find her?", He sounded very happy and excited. I cowered in fear thinking what if he found his first wife. Will he make me go away from Ayu? Will he throw me out now? Ayu and Him became my life now...I can't even imagine my life without him and I went inside the study immediately without even knocking and the rest is history.

I just fell down on the bed. What happened to him? Why he suddenly said sorry to me? What did he mean by everything? Did he finally decided to take a step for our relationship?

I just think, all of this in confusion. I came out of my thinking section, when I heard a panicked voice of a maid.

"Mrs Knight...You are here?!", a maid said. I flinched at her voice.

"Calm down...What happened?", I asked looking at her.

"Young Master...", she said.

"Ayu!! What happened to my Ayu?", I asked being panicked.

"He is crying non stop...I don't know....", she said in a panicked voice.

"Where is he?", I asked while coming out of Austin's room.

"He is in the playroom, ma'am ", she said.

I went inside the playroom and saw Ayu crying.

"Ayu!!", I said while going near him. He lifted his hands indicating me to pick him up.

I immediately took him in my arms and started to calm him down. After sometime, he stopped crying and snuggled to my chest.

"Thank you...You can go...I will take care of him..", I said to the maid. She nodded and left.

I took my Ayu to my room. I made him laid on the bed and he clenched by dress tightly not leaving me.

"I will be here only, baby. Let me just place a pillow on the other side, beta", I said but he just looked at me. I barely managed to get a pillow and placed it on the other side.

"Ayu...", I said while caressing his cheek.

"What happened my baby? Why you cried?", I asked while he snuggled on my arms and moved his arms around my neck.

"Oh baby...I will not leave you at all...", I said while kissing his head. He smiled.

After that, I placed him in my lap and started singing lullaby for him. He slowly snuggled to my stomach. I caressed and kissed on his cheek and made him sleep.

He slept after sometime. I smiled looking at him. My baby finally slept peacefully.

When I looked at him, I realized how much he love me. May be I didn't appear in front of him, that's why he got scared. I think I should not leave him at all.

I will always be your mom even not my blood but by my heart. I will not leave my baby alone. I slowly placed him on the bed. I slightly covered him with a duvet. I laid and patted him so that he won't get disturbed.

While I was patting him, I started to think about what had happened today.

I don't know what happened to him. What does he mean by he is not searching for her? What does he mean by that now I and Ayu are there in his life right now? Why does he even say sorry to me?

Does he really want to give our relationship a chance? How do I even explain what I feel for him? Will he say that I am trapping him for his money again? Will he say that I am a gold digger again?

I can't even bear this insult again. I can't stand harsh words from him. Tears are falling from my eyes unconsciously. How can I even explain that I fell for him?

I wiped my tears after sometime and tried to sleep. I closed my eyes when I heard someone opening the door. I slightly opened my eyes to see Austin opening the door and closing it slowly. I saw the back profile of Austin. I immediately closed my eyes.

I heard his footsteps. I started to relaxed and maintain a normal breath or else he will get to know that I am awake.

I suddenly felt him caressing my cheek. I tried not to shiver under his touch.

"I know I am a jerk to you from the beginning. I forcefully married you and blamed you...I slapped you...took my frustration on you...I tortured you...I am sorry for everything...", he said with his broken voice.

I tried not to show any reaction. Suddenly, I felt his lips on my forehead. Then the other bed got sinked in and I felt a arm on my waist. I just closed my eyes. My heartbeat was racing and I don't even know what to do.

After few minutes, I slightly turned to see Austin is sleeping. His face looked slightly red. I slowly went near him without disturbing Ayu as he is sleeping between us. I slightly caressed his hair. When he slightly moved, I small gasp left my mouth and I immediately closed my mouth and slept on my side.

I smiled when I remember how Austin is apologizing me. May be we can atleast be friends from now on?

At least he don't hate me...That's enough for me for now.

Tomorrow, I am going to ask Austin how about we can give this relationship a chance? how about we can be friends?

I smiled thinking at possibilities. Suddenly, I remember Ethan...I think I should apologize him too. I misunderstood and scolded him but he patiently explained me.

Yes...Tomorrow is gonna be new day, new beginnings, new friendship, new love....
