Chapter 1117 Counting on You
"Alright, I'm going right away."
Alexander turned towards the car without hesitation, seemingly very obedient to Ava. The two of them acted like an old married couple, everything felt so natural.
Madison watched, her brows furrowing.
Why does Alexander listen to her so much? She tells him to go, and he goes.
Alexander took the lilies out of the car and brought them to Ava. "Ava, I'll hold Sunny, you give these flowers to Grandma."
Ava was about to say it wasn't necessary, but then she remembered that Alexander was Sunny's biological father after all. He had the right to hold Sunny.
She felt somewhat guilty. Alexander had always thought Sunny was William's child and had never been told the truth. Everyone had kept it from him.
Ava felt conflicted and complicated inside.
Their issues couldn't be explained in just a few words.
He nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you."
Alexander immediately handed the flowers to Madison beside him. "Hold these for me."
Madison took them numbly.
Then, he carefully took Sunny from Ava's arms and gently held him.
Sunny opened his mouth wide in Alexander's arms, looking like he was about to cry.
Alexander panicked a bit. "What's wrong? Am I holding him wrong?"
"No, you're holding him just right. Maybe Sunny is just not used to strangers."
The two adults thought Sunny was about to cry, but Sunny just opened his mouth, made a crying face, and then quickly stared at Alexander with big, dark eyes and smiled.
Seeing Sunny's adorable smile melted Alexander's heart.
He suddenly felt a wave of sadness, almost wanting to cry. His eyes reddened a bit. He didn't know why, but seeing Sunny felt so familiar, like he was his child.
Maybe it was because Sunny was Ava's child, and because he loved her, he loved her child too.
William might not be a good person, but he was still Sunny's father, and Sunny was innocent.
Seeing the interaction between the father and son, Ava averted her gaze. She was worried that if she kept watching, she might blurt out the truth right then and there.
Her gaze unintentionally fell on Madison, who had a flash of furious anger on her face. But the moment Ava's eyes met hers, Madison's anger turned into a smile.
She walked up like a hostess and said, "Let's go in quickly, Grandma is getting impatient."
"Yes," Alexander said, looking at Ava. "Ava, let's go in."
The group walked towards the villa.
Alexander and Ava walked side by side.
Madison and Emily walked behind them.
Emily whispered in Madison's ear, "So that's Ava, huh? She reeks."
Hearing Emily insult Ava made Madison feel a bit pleased, but she still gently said, "Don't let Alexander hear you."
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. But what was that just now? She actually ordered Alexander around and didn't even consider you. You're the future mistress of this house."
"Emily, the future is still uncertain." Madison now felt a strong sense of crisis.
"Don't worry, you will definitely be the mistress of this house," Emily said through gritted teeth. "No one can take your place, I won't allow it."
Emily was Madison's cousin. If Madison rose to power, she would benefit too.
Madison smiled and linked arms with her. "Emily, I'll be counting on you then. I always knew you were smarter than me."
