A new world
Lady Penelope watched as the two lover birds disappeared out of sight. She was happy that Ava was able to find love and follow her heart. She smiled and went about trying to fix the Duke's dinner. She felt humbled to have him in their home.
Ava was very happy as she toured Ethan around the mansion. "Are you passing the night here?" asked Ava. She wished he stayed back. "I am not sure. I still have some issues to attend to at the palace," said Ethan. Ava's face showed a little bit of sadness but was cheered up when Ethan said: "We have got to make the most of our time together." Ava smiled and went on to show him her baby's playground. Ethan smiled looking at her face "You are all grown up and now a woman. Your parents did a good job bringing up a fine young woman." Having said that, they headed for Ava's room which was just a few blocks away from the main building.
When Ethan entered, he was fascinated by the way she had it arranged and the color that was used in decorating the room. He was pleased to see how neatly she has her things arranged and was completely amazed at how everything looked tidy. He sat down while Ava offered him a drink. "Thank you, babe. I was just admiring your room. You have a lovely place."
Lady Penelope called out to them and had dinner before the Duke returned to his palace. They both came down immediately. The dinner was served around a big table with lots of dishes and a dessert to go along with it. Lady Penelope said the prayer and everybody dug into their food. Ava looked at Ethan and smiled.
She enjoyed steering at his face like a mother who just gave birth to a newborn baby.
Immediately after the food Ethan thanked the Sinclair family and told Ava he had to go. Ava escorted him back to his car, gave him a hot kiss, and saw him off. She was glad things were back to normal between them. She entered the mansion after Ethan drove out of the compound. "Mum, do you think I am making the right choice?" Ava looked at her mother with a serious look and tried to read her mother's expression.
Lady Penelope moved closer to her daughter and said "Walk with me." Ava followed behind her mother into the garden and as they walked, she told her a lot of love stories and how it all turned out between the couple and also gave her some advice. Ava was happy. And at the same time glad to see Lady Penelope as her mother. They headed back to the mansion because it was getting cold.
Ethan called Ava to let her know he was home safely and promised to see heart work tomorrow. "I love you." said before she hung up. Ethan smiled and said, "I love you more Ava Sinclair."
All Ethan could think of was Ava as he lay on the bed. He was so in love with her that he pictured them being together as a couple and having their kids running around the palace. He smiled at the thought of the kids. "I am going to be a great father," he said.
And with that, he slept off.
A loud bang woke him up the following day. Oliver had come into his room to use some of his perfume. "Jesus Christ," Ethan yelled.
