Cruel World novel Chapter 25

Theo

After eating dinner in their mother room. Theo felt happy for a moment the way the atmosphere was changed into a happy one. Roma and Tom were fussing over Lisa to eat this and that as it's good for the baby but deep down he can't have more than four bites of his food he was still keen to check what Sarah and Ava are doing.

Today was a very hectic and difficult day for him and for Sarah too...not only the shopping tired him and Sarah but after what emotional torture they had to go through was another story.

After dinner, he excuse and went to his wing...he felt Tom presence and stop 'Tom I'm quite tired if you don't mind we can talk about business later'

Tom shakes his head 'Hmm actually I'm here to ask you about Ava...i didn't ask you there because of mom...but is she ok' Tom asked with concern

Theo was touched but he doesn't show it 'Yeah..doctor has checked her she is fine'

Tom awkwardly scratch his head 'Look, Theo, I feel guilty that have made you agree you marry Sarah and after all this time I saw you how it affects you ...but nowhere I ever indicated that I don't care for Ava she is your daughter and I can understand if you love her and felt protective for her there is no issue and I get it you are hiding this from mom ..

But Theo stops Tom 'Tom ... I m not blaming you for anything...and I have told you I can't love anyone who even has anything to do with Blake family.... I can't face Tina when I die...so I can't do this' Theo said with regret

With that Theo went to his room and there he found the bedroom side to be empty then..He looks at the sitting here where Ava crib was placed..Sarah was not even there...he stop to check Ava..It's not like he will pick her.It's general curiosity...he check Ava was sleeping where a bandage was placed on her left eyebrow. He saw Ava's fist was in her mouth and she was sucking it, she looks so cute and adorable. He smiled at her. But stop when he realized what he is doing..

He walked away to change...he found his clothes like always iron the vanity chair and when he opened his bathroom he saw Sarah...who just looks like she took a shower...she has covered her body with the towel and was applying the ointment on her bruises. Theo flinched when he saw the red angry mark on her face, because of him and he doesn't like it. Sarah realized someone enters the bathroom and she gasped and turned around hurriedly that made her lose control of her towel but manage to wrap it on time. Sarah body was flushed because of a shower or maybe she was shy that she was almost naked. Theo used that to his advantage and follow his plan.

Theo grabs his shirt and remove it and say 'Did you eat' he said very casually like it's very normal for them to get naked outside the bedroom.

Sarah was covering her body...she is always insecure about her body even he knows every single detail of her body precisely...what who can blame her Theo always throw an insult and degrading remarks about her body that made Sarah believe she was ugly which was not truth but Theo had made her believe that...Sarah meekly replied 'Yeah...I did...I was waiting in the dining room butler told me that everyone had dinner in Mrs grey room...so I eat here... I hope it's ok ... I don't want to leave Ava alone'

Theo can see her struggle that eating here will put her in trouble 'It's fine...you can eat anywhere' Sarah raised her eyebrow in shocked but then composed it on time

Theo walks towards her and she walks backwards...Theo was enjoying this and put his hand on her shoulder.Sarah tighten her hold on the towel and breath loudly...Theo lean down and said on her ear 'If you have done then I need to brush and take a shower or If you want to stay then still no problem..'Theo smirked ...Sarah was ten shade red 'No..no I'm sorry I was in your way..I'm going'

Theo chuckle when he saw her running ...When Theo was done from bathroom duties.
