NovelEnglish72. 72. Upset Dominic
“Dominic! We need to talk.” Athena said while turning to look at him. She didn’t want things to get stiff between them once again
after they have passed through all these hassles. And from the look of Dominic, she knew whatever he was thinking wasn’t
anything good.
“I don‘t think we have anything to talk about.” He said while not looking at her and suddenly got up from the sofa was going to
walk past him when Athena caught his hand, stopping him from leaving. She looked at him with a
frown.. “Dominic! Why are you being like this? sit down and let‘s talk.” Athena said with the same frown as she
tugged on his hand again.
She knew he was hurt, maybe a little bit angry but mostly hurt. She also knew the reason
for his hurt. After all, which father won’t be hurt if not acknowledged by their own son. She knew he wanted her to tell Ace
about him being his father. But how could she just drop the bomb on her sweet child? It could attack him like a shock as well.
But apart from that she has another reason of her own which was stopping her from doing so but she can’t tell Dominic about
that. It‘s going to hurt him more.
“I am not being like anything, Athena. I just have some work and I need to take care of them immediately. I will talk to you later.”
He said in a somewhat normal tone as he tried to pull his hand away from her, immediately earning a scowl from her. She wasn’t
That‘s not going to help them at all. But how would she make him understand that?! “Dominic, why
are you being like this?! You are not even ready to talk. Look, I understand that you are upset because Ace is not aware
of your identity and about the relationship you both share. But walking away is not the solution. You have to sit down and have a
talk with me. That’s how we are going to raise him or solve each and every problem in our lives. If you are like this, how are we
going to do that?” She exclaimed in a little bit of frustrated tone as she looked up at him with a deep frown.
He was still standing up. But he let out a sigh as soon as he heard her. He took a step back before sitting beside her. He looked
at him with a calm look on his face while she looked at him with a small frown.
“Who said I am hurt or angry because Ace is unaware of our relationship? I am not upset because of that at all.
You are thinking too much about it.” He said in an assured tone but she could read through it clearly..
“Dominic, you can’t lie to me. Not after everything we have been through. I know you are upset.” She said while looking down.
She felt helpless at that moment. She couldn’t do anything to make him feel better nor can she take an abrupt decision to regret
that later.
“I am not upset, Athena. Don’t worry. I understand why you don’t want to tell Ace about me yet. Trust me, I understand you and I
am always with you in every decision.” He said in a tone which clearly said that he meant everything he said. “Thank you so
much, Dominic. It’s just I am afraid I am going to shock Ace a lot by suddenly
dropping this on him. He might be a lot smart but I don‘t know how much he could take or not. It might come as a great shock for
anything happening to him. He is my world and everything.” Athena exclaimed and let out a sigh as soon as she was done.
She was in another mess now and this mess included her son and she can’t risk anything happening to him. Hence she wasn’t
ready to take any chances.
“Shh...shh...calm down. I know. You don’t have to stress over it so much. You don’t have to worry about me. I am fine.” He said
with a soft smile grazing his lips, making her heart skip a beat. It wasn’t any good kind of feelings, it came from a bad feeling
which she got after hearing his empty words. “Do...don’t worry about you? What do you mean?” She stammered a little while
looking away from him. She was afraid of looking at him into his eyes as her heart started to beat crazily again. He let out a small
chuckle.
“I am the leader of this territory for a reason, Athena. I am not stupid. I could clearly see that you don’t trust me completely yet, at
least not regarding Ace. You don’t think that I am a good father for him yet. You think I am still not worthy enough to be his father
yet and I understand. Trust me I understand that because I didn‘t give you much reason to trust me on this. But that doesn’t
mean I am upset or sad. I am going to prove myself to you and become the best father that Ace deserves. But please have faith
in me and never try to give me false words. That‘s all I am asking for.” He said with a small smile while looking at a dumbstruck
Athena, who was too shocked to say anything. He didn’t say anything to her after that. He left the place after placing a small kiss
on her forehead as she sat there silently.
The thing she was afraid of happened. He found out that she didn‘t trust him completely...
