章節 25: Chapter 24
Willow is a young upcoming actress, who starred in a few hit movies. She came from a poor family and had nothing except her beauty. She wanted to reach great heights and having enormous wealth was her ultimate goal.
She was ready to do anything to reach her target. Which meant she would establish connections with a lot of people.
She had slept with directors and affluent business people to get to where she was and she had come to the party tonight to hook up with another rich man.
Tristan caught her attention the instant she laid eyes on him. He was so handsome and there was this air of dominance around him which attracted her. As she enquired about him she learned that he was an aristocratic heir.
But they also warned her that he was very strict and crossing him may not be the wisest decision.
She disregarded all of them, how can any hot blooded man reject her? She was not looking for love or any permanent relationship. She just wanted the man to help her boost her career.
She had been with many ugly producers and Tristan was a sexy man, why not be with him, it was an added bonus.
But Travis was not playing her game and it infuriated her. Hazel pulled at the lapels of his shirt to get his attention.
"Brother play, " Hazel demanded.
Travis was still looking at his father with brows furrowed and teeth being ground out in anger. Because of his inattention, Hazel looked in the direction her brother was staring at.
"Dada dada!" Hazel clapped her hands when he saw her father
"That woman will take our dad," Travis said seriously.
"What?," Hazel was confused.
"Look at that woman, she's trying to steal our dad," Travis explained. Hazel gasped and followed her brother who walked towards Tristan.
Willow had tried to talk with Tristan and he did not even bother to reply. When she got nearer he looked so good that her heart beat started to increase. She was very eager to get a chance with this type of alpha man and if Tristan did not understand her hints then she was ready to offer herself to him directly.
Suddenly someone knocked her aside and the champagne in her hand spilled all over her dress.
"Bad, bad witch," a little girl was cursing at her.
Hazel had read a lot of fairy tales and in all those stories the evil witch captured and tortured the princess. She thought this lady would harm her father. How can she let this happen, she has to protect her dearest daddy who she loved to bits.
On the other side Travis held his father's hand tightly.
Willow got so angry and was about to scold the little girl but Hazel started to push her and screamed, "My dada, don't take!"
All the people nearby watched this scene and they understood this woman was trying to seduce a married man. Some people talked behind her back and some started mocking her.
She looked at Tristan hoping he may take her side but unfortunately Tristan was looking at his daughter in amusement as if she was doing something funny.
"Hazel princess, come here," Tristan called out with his outstretched hand.
After making sure there was a wide enough distance between that witch and her father, Hazel walked toward Tristan asking him to pick her up.
"Dada, I will protect," Hazel tightened her arms around his neck.
"Of course, Hazel is so strong that she will fight all the witches," Tristan chuckled.
Hazel nodded her head agreeing with him. Hearing Tristan insulting her, Willow's face darkened as all her hopes were crushed. Instead of helping, he was going to drag her down, just as his daughter planned.
"Dad, let's go and find mom," Travis said anxiously.
"Sure ," Tristan agreed and the Ambrosio's looked for Ava.
It was quite late and they decided to return home. Both Travis and Hazel were very clingy on the way back home. Hazel was sitting on Tristan's lap and Travis refused to let Tristan's hand go.
"What is with you two today?" Ava asked.
"They are showing their love to me," Tristan said with a soft tone as he smiled at her
After tucking both kids in bed Tristan returned to his bedroom where Ava was putting the jewelry back into the boxes safely.
Without any warning Tristan picked Ava up and moved towards the bed.
"Ahh…put me down. I still need to arrange those earrings," Ava squealed.
"Do it tomorrow, now all your time belongs to me," Tristan commanded.
"At today's party someone was trying to steal your attention," Ava complained.
"Ya and that was you," Tristan tenderly put a strand of her hair behind the ear.
"That beautiful woman was all over you," Ava frowned.
"I find no one else beautiful except for you. I was about to walk away from her but the kids came and pushed her away," Tristan was about to bash the lady in the rudest possible way, she was getting on his nerves, shamelessly offering herself.
"Tristan, I'm the only one you should love," Ava felt very jealous when any woman tried to covet her husband.
"Of course, there is only you," Tristan declared. Satisfied by his answer Ava planted a kiss on his check.
"Let me show you tonight, how much you mean to me ," Tristan crushed his lips to her.
The next day it was the weekend and Tristan was with Travis in his study checking his homework.
"See here, you are not supposed to use a shortcut," Tristan pointed out all the mistakes in his test paper and told him to do the sums once again.
Travis did all the sums correctly this time with the methods his father taught him, and when Tristan praised him he had a blank expression.
Tristan noticed the change in Travis behavior, during breakfast he had a troubled expression.
He pushed aside all the books and asked Travis to come to him. Travis quickly obeyed and sat on Tristan's lap.
"Travis, tell me what is bothering you," Tristan had an ample amount of patience when it came to his kids.
"Dad, are you leaving us?" Travis asked with a trembling voice.
"Why will I leave you," Tristan had no idea what he was saying.
"My friend's parents are getting divorced. His father has a beautiful woman friend so he does not want my friend and his mother. Yesterday you were talking with that beautiful woman," Travis confessed his deepest fear.
A few weeks ago his desk mate was crying in class, when asked the reason, he said his parents were divorcing.
Both of them are forcing him to choose one parent but he wanted a complete family. The kids were curious and asked why the divorce was happening.
He said his mother was always crying and cursing that some hot young girl took his father away. So Travis thought if his father has a female friend he may separate from his mother.
Tristan was speechless, never expecting something like this was bothering his son. Travis mistook his father's silence as if he was agreeing that he truly had a friendship with a woman.
"My friend was made to choose between his mom and dad. I want both you and mom," Travis said as his eyes became wet.
Tristan understood that his son was severely scared. Hazel cried for silly things but Travis was like him, he never much showed his emotions.
"Shh... stop crying. Your mom is the most precious person in my life, aside from you and your sister I cannot even imagine living without you in my life. We will always be together. Never forget that," Tristan consoled him.
Tristan had gone through that phase where his father had died and his mother left him. He never wanted his kids to experience anything like that.
Those were the dark terrible days before Ava came into his life. He was forever grateful that Ava gave him a chance and he was going to cherish it at any cost. He loved his kids to the core and he wanted to be the best version of himself to them.
"Promise?" Travis asked his father hopefully.
"Yes, it's a promise," Tristan hugged Travis tightly to his chest.
