Ashley's POV

The sun was shining through the large windows as it made me wake up. I opened my eyes, yawning. When I looked at the other side of the bed, Blaze wasn't on the bed. I stretched out and got up, wrapping the cover around me.

I wrapped a towel around me as I walked out of the bathroom. I dried my hair and body. Then, I put on a navy blue dress and called Patricia. She told me Aspen was calm; he didn't cry so much, and he was sleeping now. I missed my little boy.

After I had hung up, I went downstairs. Blaze wasn't here either. I walked towards the garden.

I smiled as I saw him in the garden, holding a bouquet in his hand. He gave me his signature, heart warming smile.

He made breakfast for us. There were flowers on the table too.

I approached him as I placed a soft kiss on his lips.

"Morning." I greeted him happily.

"Morning." He greeted me back as he handed me the bouquet.

I took it, giving him a broad smile. I smelled them, closing my eyes. It smelled wonderful.

"Thank you." I said as I opened my eyes.

He smiled at me as he cupped my cheeks and kissed my lips.

"Let's have breakfast

"Let's have breakfast." He suggested. I nodded.

I placed my knife and fork down on the plate as I sighed. "I don't want to go back. I wish I could stay here with you for more days. But we need to go back to reality." I admitted sadly.

He placed his hand on top of my hand on the table and held it as he gave me a warm smile.

"Ashley, we need to tell them the truth." He confessed.

I sighed as I admitted. "I am afraid of my father's reaction. But you are right; we should tell them." I gave him a slight smile. "And it will not get worse than it is now." I sighed, depressed.

He gave me a slight smile as he brought my hand to his lips and kissed it.

"We will tell them after the anniversary ceremony of our company." He said. I nodded in agreement.

I was watching the changing scenery through the window as we were going back.

Blaze parked his car in front of the mansion. He held my hand, interrupting my thoughts. I turned my head towards him as I gave him a slight smile.

He cupped my cheek as he said. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine." He gave me a reassuring smile.

"I hope." I sighed.

"Let's go. I missed my son." He gave me a wide smile.

I smiled happily. "I missed him too."
