Carrying His Heir While Fighting His Lies novel Chapter 74

Ava'S POV

"Ivan," I said when I noticed he was standing at the tomb with some flowers in his hand.

Rose." He turned around, looking all shocked, and came towards me before I walked to him.

"What are you doing here?" He said this, looking here and there.

"I just came here to see Granny," I said, but, well, I don't have to ask him what he is doing here because I am sure he must be here to see his wife.

"When did you come to New York, where are you staying, and why didn't you tell me about this?" He said that, looking concerned.

I have never told him who my husband is or what my real full name is, or, to be precise, my surname. He knows my name is Ava, but she knows nothing more than that, and I am not interested in telling him anything either.

"Well, there is a long story, but don't worry, I am fine," I said with a small smile.

"And Bella, where is she and how's she? And where are you guys staying?'

He asked a few more questions, which I want to avoid right now.

I mean, I surely want to tell him everything, but again, I don't want to tell him right now. I want to explain everything with a fresh mind, and honestly, I have processed this.

"I am fine and staying with a friend, so don't worry, and Bella is fine too."

I said with a small smile that could not reach my ear that I was all fake and I knew he could read too, but again, he was waiting for me to explain the situation, which I want to avoid right now.

His open mouth came to a halt the moment my phone rang, and I was thankful to God because his eyes told me this time, he wouldn't let things like this happen and he would bombard me with questions.

“Hello." I pick up the phone instantly, without even looking at it, and turn my back on Ivan.

"Ahaa, someone is missing me; I can see." I heard the flirtatious and most annoying voice nowadays, and I closed my eyes at my stupidity to pick up the phone—not even half a ring.

"Hmmm," I replied, as I had nothing else to say.

"Well, Sugar, as you know, there is a plan of change, so we are not having dinner at home, but again, how can I miss food from you? So do one thing: make soup for me and give it to Nora; it will reach me. And please make it fast. I am hungry."

I looked at my watch and saw it was already three in the afternoon, and lunchtime had passed long ago.

I rolled my eyes at his demand, but again, ‘hmm, as the morning session was fresh for me and I again didn't want to do anything, which makes him angry.

"See you soon, baby girl." He said he hung up, and I rolled my eyes, hearing his endearments.

I again turned around, and Ivan was standing in the same place, showing his hands in his pocket, looking ready for the explanation. I felt so bad for not giving him one.

"Ummm, I have to go right now, but call me whenever you are free. We will talk, okay?" Without waiting for his reply, I walked out and sat in the car while Nora went back to the Mansion.

Gosh, this was tough, I thought while cleaning the forming sweat on my head.

When I walked inside the house, there was one more shock waiting for me, and I gulped the moment I saw him.

Nathan.

"Hh..iii Nath..an." I stuttered, looking at him while Bella was in his arms, showing her new toys, and Alvera was standing near them.

His eyes follow me while I walk inside, sit far away from him, and look everywhere but him.

‘Wasn't he in Australia? How did he come so fast?' I thought.
