Daddy's Love novel Chapter 73

Carol is fine. Turns out it was a not so deep flesh wound. Grey, not so much.

I have gotten both of them home a couple of weeks back. Carol is being a champ really. Not fussing at all apart from the times when we have to change the dressing on her wound.

I acted out when I saw all the blood. I told things I shouldn't have and I have apologized to Christian so many times. He told me that its fine but I can clearly see that it is not.

He feels so guilty for killing Timothy although it wasn't intentional. He feels guilty that Alisha stabbed Carol when she had come to stab him.

All he does is snuggle with either Ana or Carol. He doesn't talk much. I get to have sex but no cuddling after.

Ana and Carol are thankfully fine and back to normal.

We are having ice-creams after dinner, all of us. The girls are jabbering and enjoying their ice creams. Grey is concentrating more on the ice cream than he is on anyone else.

"Girls' quick, it's already past your bedtime. We will need to have a quick bath and then to bed." I say and Grey looks up at me.

"I'll bath them and put them to bed. You go sleep, you must be so exhausted." Christian tells me.

Before I can say anything, the girls are all excited to let Christian give them a bath. So, I let him do it.

Christian cooked today despite my telling him not to, many times. He needs time to recuperate. He still has a broken shoulder.

I settle on my bed after a quick shower and to my surprise I see an envelope with a ribbon on it with my name.

I pick it up.

It has a ticket to Vegas and a note.

You deserve a holiday. Go, get one.

X

Holiday? Alone?

Is he feeling...? What?

I know he is not working. Where did he get the money from?

I am still sitting like a fool with the ticket in my hand when he comes in.

"I've put the girls to bed and that's for you." He says while stripping to his boxers.

"For me? What do you think I will do in Vegas alone?"

"Listen, we have been all over you these past weeks. You need some time off. I will take care of the girls... I mean... I would understand if you'd want someone else too, Mark, Ron or anyone to look after Carol... The tickets for day after and Carol is totally fine. She doesn't even need any medicines anymore apart from the lotion for the scar... " He trails off when he sees the look on my face.

"What?" He asks.
