Chapter 179 Ava’s Day With Keith

Ava kept her eyes fixed on the mill spotted fish in the tank, barely blinking She thought. I need to senz

last catch can’t have been anything but luck, redefinitely fuck

Keep your eyes open,” Keith said.

He lifted the net with a casual flick of his wrist. She froze. Somehow against all logic the milk spotteri fich was acad inside.

“You cheated! There’s no way you didn’t cheat!” she exclaimed.

He lifted his hands in mock innocence. “And how, exactly, did I cheat?”

She snatched the net from him. “Let me try again!”

He handed it over without protest. She drew in a steadying breath and locked onto her target. The moment she committed she moved without hesitation.

The result was devastating. Nothing. Not a single fish ended up in her net.

After several more failed attempts, she finally had to accept the truth-this wasn’t as easy as it looked.

He stepped in close, positioning himself behind her. His hand settled over hers as she gripped the net, and his voice dropped beside her ear. “Watch carefully.”

He guided her movement with a subtle turn of his wrist. She couldn’t quite tell what he had done, yet when she looked down, a blue-tailed fish was flopping wildly in the net.

Her eyes widened. She tilted her head back to look at him. “Were you a fish in a past life or something? Do they think you’re one of them?”

A quiet laugh rose from his chest. His gaze lingered on hers. “If I’m a fish, doesn’t that mean you’re insulting yourself too?”

“See anything else you like?” he asked. “We can catch more.”

Ava pointed out a red one and another patterned in pink and white-the same two that had mocked her again and again earlier. This time, they didn’t escape. She let out a small, satisfied hum as she looked at the five fish resting inside the box.

“Dad, dinner’s ready,” a little boy shouted.

The soft, youthful voice drew her attention. Ava turned and spotted a one-armed boy, no more than five or six years old, calling out to the stall owner.

A gentle smile spread across the man’s face as he patted the boy’s head. “Max, go on for now. Once I make some money today. N buy you something good to eat.”

The boy shook his head firmly. “I don’t want anything special. I just want to stay with you.”

A flicker passed through Ava’s eyes. Her gaze dropped to the fish in her hands, emotions quietly knotting in her chest. Her grip loosened without her noticing, and the box slipped free, splashing into the tank below. The fish scattered instantly, disappearing

into the water.

The sound caught the attention of the father and son. The tan rubbed his hands together and looked at the clear box floating on the surface “Miss, did your fish fallin? it’s alrigi, Just tell me which ones they were, and Ull replace them. These tanks are tricky. but I have some in a smaller bucket over there much easier to catch”.

Ava shook her head. “That’s okay. It was my mistake I’ll catch them again.”

Keith glanced at her before calmly scanning another hundred coins.

“Go eat,” he said to the stall owner. “We’ll keep playing.”

To the end, she saved her last two chances. She glanced at him, who accepted the net with a smile and effortlessly scooped up by

sh for her. The box rested in her hands as she smiled brightly, delight softening her eyes.

He watched her in silence, his heart turning unexpectedly tender. He thought, She never turns away from the suffering around het But as a child, aside from her grandfather, who showed her that same kindness?

The car arrived at the Morren family at two in the afternoon.

Ava released her seatbelt and stepped out, turning back with a cheerful wave. “Go take care of your work. That matters more. We have plenty of chances in the future.”

4 helpless sigh escaped Keith. “Alright. I’ll head back to the lab, then. Next time, I’ll take you to an art exhibition.”

Her room welcomed her with quiet familiarity. Ava changed into comfortable loungewear, lay face down on the bed, and activated per lightbrain. Several notifications appeared on the screen. She had deliberately switched to ‘Do Not Disturb’ earlier, knowing she would be spending the day with Keith.

That choice did little to change the fact that she was, at heart, a master of careful balance. Even so, she believed that time spent

ith someone deserved full attention, free from unnecessary interruptions.
