Hey Leonardo! Emma tried to hug him. Leonardo slightly step back and said; I hope you had a safe and comfortable journey.
Oh, come on brother! Come and have coffee together. Sophia interrupted.
Thank you. But I have some work. You both enjoy it together. I will leave. Leonardo added
Emma stared at her sister with anger 'what the hell Sophia, he isn't changed and you think that he will engage with me.?
Keep calm Emma. You cannot get him as easily as you perceived. Enjoy your coffee. I will share the rest of my plans with you after your nap. Sophia said
Should we make more ships? Lucas asked
Yes. Where do you want to put these? Ava asked
This side table. Lucas said.
Emma entered the room with Sophia. Emma looked at Ava with a contemptible look.
Hi Lucas! Look what I bought for you. Emma said. She started opening gifts. Lucas was looking at gifts as he didn't like them. I brought white chocolates for you. Do you like these? Emma asked
Lucas didn't show interest and kept himself silent. Emma was getting hyper over his reaction. Sophia nodded her head. Both of them left the room quickly.
Why you didn't answer Emma's aunt? Ava asked
I don't like both of them. They both never liked my mommy. Once I saw her. She throw my mommy frame and walked over it. Lucas became sad.
Don't worry my dear. It was past. Look how beautiful gifts she brought for you. Ava exaggerated to soften the heart of little Lucas for his aunts.
Leonardo came to Lucas's room. He didn't find Ava there. He went into Ava's room. Ava was also not there. He quickly went downstairs. Ava was coming upstairs holding a juice glass for Lucas. Leonardo noticed her.
Why did you leave Lucas alone? I told you to not leave him alone. If you need anything tell servants you don't need to leave him like this. Leonardo said
Okay! Ava replied and went upstairs. Leonardo looked at her and thought something.
Sophia felt that Ava took her responsibility with full devotion. But she thought she should make her lower in front of Leonardo so Emma and Leonardo can come closer to each other and she can easily push her out of Benjamin's mansion. Sophia came to her and said; please go and give these two pots to James. He is taking therapy in the garden and doing plantation. He will sow seeds in these pots. Sophia already knew how kind and merciful Ava was. So she used her strings of humanity.
I cannot leave this time for Lucas. Ava said
Don't worry I will be here. Sophia said and handed over the pots to Ava.
Ava went into the garden. She saw James talking to himself and pouring water on plants.
Brother do you need these pots? Ava asked
Not really, but if you give me I will sow new seed species in it. James said
Do you need my help or should I go back? Ava asked
Can you please put fertilizer in these pots? James asked with humbleness
Yes, I can! Ava replied and started helping him. Leonardo was looking at both of them from his room window. He thought something
Ava, do you know why I love planting? James asked
Why bother? Ava asked
Because they don't betray me. They don't leave me. They don't hurt me James said
Ava nodded her head. She thought for a while and smiled.
Ava woke up suddenly. She look around the side table her water bottle was empty. She went outside and peered into Lucas's room
Where is Lucas? I left him sleeping in his room. Ava mumbled
She quickly went into the study room of Leonardo. She saw Lucas was sleeping on the couch and Leonardo was not there. She took him and laid him back on his bed. Ava felt that she left her water bottle in the study room. She went back there. She found her bottle and went into the kitchen to take water. As she poured water into the bottle and turn back she strongly hit Leonardo.
Girl why you don't stay in your place? Leonardo held her arm tightly.
I… I …my water bottle was empty so I came here to fill up my bottle. Ava said with fear and trembling while Leonardo was peering into her eyes. She quickly rid of her arm from his hand and ran into her room. Leonardo looked at Ava until she disappeared.
I will manage Aiden, you don't need to worry about it. I know I was not able to come studio. I told you the reason behind it. But don't worry we will go together to the event. I know you had a burden because of me. But I will handle the situation. You know I recently came to Benjamin's mansion to live forever here with my nephew. I ended up fighting with this strong man. Emma listened to Ava's conversation. She thought for a while and went into Sophia's room directly.
'Who is this person to whom Ava is doing commitment? I think I should discuss it with Sophia. She may get in-depth about it. So one stone of my way will easily be removed from my way.'
Sister, do you know about Ava's relationship? I listened to her she was talking to a boy named Aiden. She will have dinner with him tonight Emma exaggerated
What!! I don't believe it. Sophia raised her eyebrows with surprise.
Please be quick and remove this bit stone from my way. Emma requested
Don't worry let's see how I play with her. I will make her boundaries as limited so that she caught suffocation in this mansion. She will leave by herself soon.
I also listened to Leonardo. He is going somewhere with Lucas in the evening. Emma added
Where? Sophia asked
I don't know. I tried to talk to him but I am unable to catch his eyes.
I will let you know. Leave me on this and get prepared for the evening. Sophia said
Sophia, I am going to work. I will be back in the evening. Can you please take care of Lucas till that moment? I haven't Lucas's uncle's contact so can you please inform him as well? Ava asked
Where are you going, honey? What kind of work do you do? Sophia highly exaggerated
I am a photographer. I run a studio with my cousin. For the past few weeks, I didn't join but today is very important to the project. So I needed to go. Ava replied while she meant Sophia's fake sympathies in real.
Don't worry! I will handle all. I will also inform Leonardo. Sophia said
Watson, check if Lucas is ready to go. Ask her aunt to bring him downstairs. Leonardo said
After a few minutes, Emma and Lucas were coming downstairs with Watson. Leonardo got surprised to see Emma instead of Ava with Lucas.
Where is his aunt? Leonardo asked
I don't know. I just knew that you are going to the ceremony with Lucas so I got him ready. We both are ready to go. Emma added
But I didn't say any servant for your preparations. Only Lucas will join me for the ceremony.
My aunt will come back. She told me she have some work. Lucas said.
Okay, I will see her later. Let's go we are getting late. Leonardo said and step forward towards his car.
I hope this event will be finished within 2 hours. Ava said
Aiden is hard working and handsome-looking boy. What is your opinion? Vanessa asked
I think we should focus on the reason we both came. Ava changed the battery of her camera and left for the reception where special guests were coming. She got surprised when her eye caught the sight of Lucas holding hand of Leonardo.
What!! So this was the special guest for this event!! Ava mumbled. She kept shooting. She felt for a moment that Leonardo is looking into her eyes with anger. Ava shivered and set the camera aside. Both were confronting each other. Lucas got in surprised as well.
Aunt, what are you doing here? Lucas asked
My dear, I am doing my work, which I told you about at home. Ava replied.
Leonardo got aggressive for a moment. He held hand of Lucas and went to the main site of the event. The event finished within 2 hours. Ava was winding up her luggage. Meanwhile Frank came to Ava.
Mr. Leonardo is waiting for you. Frank said
But I will go with my friend. Ava emphasized
Ms. Ava, you know him very well. So don't insist and calmly follow me. Frank said
Vanessa nodded her head and blink an eye at Ava. Ava quietly followed Frank and sat in Leonardo's car.
Leonardo came into Lucas's room. He saw Ava sleeping and holding the storybook in her hands. Lucas was also sleeping. Leonardo slowly took the book from Ava's hand. He checked Lucas and left the room.
