Chapter 122 A honest child
“Ava, I’m not angry with you, but you have to tell me what happened.”
She took a deep breath, then she looked at me finally.
“I told him to go”
“Why?”
“I don’t like Amber. He doesn’t like her either. He had something important to do, and this way we both could escape.”
I exhaled slowly.
“Why? Do you like Amber, daddy? She looked at me with widened eyes and with a hint of fear. That made me laugh.
“No, not even a bit, but still you shouldn’t show that to anyone, and G Gideon’s behaviour is just simply unacceptable.”
“But daddy, if he doesn’t like her….
I looked at the ground, and I knew I shouldn’t do that, but I felt maybe my smart daughter knows much more than us.
“And did he say where he’s going?”
She moved her gaze to the ground again. I always taught her to be honest, even if it’s hard. Even if she did something terrible. I always made her understand she can’t do anything that would make me and her mum love her less.
“But daddy, I promised him I won’t tell anyone, especially not for you.”
“Ava, you know what I abeys tell you.”
“Yes, daddy, but how could I be reliable if I’m not keeping my promise?”
“Ava, I’m your dad first and if you are honest with me, that doesn’t mean you would be unreliable, secondly I understand that is your secret, and I won’t tell anyone, of course.”
She hesitated a bit. I knew she only needed a few minutes. She slowly lifted her gaze, and she looked into my eyes.
“He is looking for Alice, and he promised me I can be the first one to meet her as soon as possible.”
I looked at the ground. At that moment, I could really tear Gideon apart. I couldn’t believe how he could do that to a little child. I believed Alice could be dead by now, but even if she was alive, probably Riccardo wouldn’t let Gideon get close to her. Not to mention with this, my stupid brother only provoked them, so he could easily end up with a bullet in his head. I was angry with him for sure, but I couldn’t take that if that would happen. I tried. to hide my frustration from Ava.
“Come on, Ava, we are going back. Do not talk about this to anyone, okay?”
She nodded
I stood up, and I held her hand to lead her back.
“Daddy.”
I heard her tiny voice

“Are
you angry with me?”
I stopped, then I looked down at her. Her eyes became teary. I lifted her up into my arms and I kissed her cheek while I held her tight.
“No darling, I’m actually really proud
proud of you.”
“Really?” she asked.
