Chapter 3 Uncertainty

Chapter Three

Ava's Point of View

He is so self-important! Now that we're in his opulent vehicle, he hasn't responded to any of my legitimate inquiries throughout the journey;

He keeps asking his bodyguard to do it for him instead. Why does he ask his guards to answer my questions when he's simply sitting there? Was it really that hard? "So, what are your parents like?"

Knowing that it was a private question and that his bodyguard may not know the answer, I asked him. The idea of it shocked me and caused a grin to twist my lips.

But to my surprise, David just sits there, looking absently at the screen of his phone as the same bodyguard opens his lips.

Had he heard me at all? "In reality, Mrs. Gage is a nice woman but Mr. Gage is...." Why the bodyguard's voice trailed off before he addressed David's father is a mystery to me.

Maybe he didn't want to say anything in front of David because he was attempting to say something critical. But David completed the sentence for him by stating,

"Just say that he is such a hard man." I arched an eyebrow at him. "How? Is he harsh? I inquired.

Then he sighed deeply and threw his phone aside. He said icily, "Like I said, woman, he is a hard man, that's all you need to know about him," to which I glared.

So simply calm down around him."Impetuous! Aria said, "Mum, I'm hungry" as she and her brother sat on the other side of the vehicle. What annoys me is that Archie and Aria had some snacks at the airport before to our departure.

"Don't worry, baby," I reassured her. I'll grab you a bite to eat shortly." Thankfully, she remained silent. Oh, phew. She has always been the gourmand of the two of them, so maybe she is physically older than her brother.

The driver, flanked by several high-end vehicles, drew slowly into the parking lot as we approached a large, elegant-looking business.

Without a doubt, this business caters to wealthy people. David was able to exit the vehicle once one of the bodyguards exited the vehicle and opened the door on his side.

I was about to open mine, but another bodyguard had already done it for me. I gave him a grin and walked away warily. In order to deliver the twins,

I reached in, too. Rather of waiting for us, David went inside the posh store first. After silently cursing, I followed him.

Out of habit, I couldn't help but take a big breath as we walked inside the store. The inside of the store was as lavish as its facade.

From the magnificent chandeliers that hung above in gold and silver hues to the finely designed stairs that climbed higher. It must have cost thousands of pounds to paint the walls white.

I had to be really cautious with my feet to prevent breaking the gleaming marble floor we walked on, even though I'm sure they were coated with a ton of hardness.

As we passed the rolls of shelves, I would be in awe of the sophisticated and expensive clothing that was organized on the shelves.

I have to admit, this was very incredible. With a big smile, a lady approaching us said, "If it isn't my humble billionaire himself"

while tenderly embracing Alexander. The lady smiled back at me and said, "And hello, beautiful queen," humbling my foot. I smiled back at her and shook her hand.

"Okay, we have no time to waste, right this way," she remarked, flipping her fingers, and turned to go. As we followed her, it occurred to me that David may have warned her we were on our way.

I couldn't stop swooning over the assortment of wedding dresses that were displayed on the rolls of shelves we visited. In my whole life, I had only ever seen these outfits.

and I never thought I would ever have to choose between them since they weren't that close to one another. The lady picked out a wedding gown and hung it in front of me.

"Would you like to try this one?" she said. Really? Is she really interested in asking me now? I could try on every outfit in this shop right now. But we were in a hurry, so of course it was not possible.

After giving her the dress and nodding, I went to the changing room to try it on. I crammed myself into it and then anxiously went out for my soon-to-be husband's assessment.

He looked at me while sitting with his legs crossed. Then he went back to his phone and gave a nonchalant negative shake of his head. Oh no! In reality, who does he think he is? I was given a second outfit to try on.

I returned to the dressing room. David would just shake his head dismissively and say nothing for a few minutes as this went on.

All I did was show off my body in different clothing to try to win his approval, which made me feel like a call girl. I eventually stepped out of the changing room in a different bridal gown for the eighth time.

He glanced up at me, and I think I noticed his eyes widen for a moment. He looks at me a little longer this time, and I get a ray of hope. He sighed deeply and checked his watch before looking up and spoke.

"Sure, that will do" A frown came to my face at what he said. It suggests that he did not really appreciate the material, but rather gave his approval in a hurry.

I stared at my reflection in the dressing room mirror as cosmetics was being done. Never in my life have I been more suited up than I was right now.

Naturally, it would, because it was my wedding day. But I was marrying a guy I'd just met a few hours earlier, with whom I had no romantic or platonic bond, and who saw me as nothing more than a way to get out of his current problems.

However, I was doing the same thing, so we're equal. I had my makeup done and was led out the room. David and my little ones stared at me as soon as I went outside.

"Yay, mum, you look so pretty!" Archie said in his most animated tone to yet. I smiled kindly at him. "Thank you" Aria just sat there with her arms crossed like daggers, glaring at me.

I remembered I hadn't served her the dinner she asked for. "Can we go now?" When David asked, I couldn't help but notice the cynicism in his voice. "Wait, what about my kids?"

I asked him because I couldn't simply leave them here. "They'll have to wait, I can't let my parents know I'm getting married to a mother," he said coldly, and it made my stomach flip. Oh no!

Seeing my sad look, he said, "I give you my word that my bodyguards will take care of them and keep them company."

Aria walked up to me, putting her arm around my knee and looking up at me with her droopy, wide eyes. She implored, "Mum, you can't leave us here," After swallowing, I looked to David for help.

However, the idiot was once again engrossed in his phone. I couldn't understand why someone as handsome as this would have such an annoying character. I placed my hands on each side of Aria's cheeks while kneeling in front of her. "I promise not to take long, Aria, my love. In an attempt to convince her, I said,

"We would have all the time we want together." When she exclaims, "I want McDonald's," my eyes flicker.

She said, "And I also want to go to the park with Archie," This youngster excels at accomplishing her objectives. Behind me,

In a frustrated tone, I heard my fiancé say, "Hey, we have no time for all these come on." "All right, Aria, you can have all the McDonald's you want, just tell those men over there..."

I indicated that they would be guarded by two bodyguards. But you can't go to the park, at least not at this moment. I promise that when I come back, we'll all go together.

I replied, hoping inwardly that she would agree, since she is really hard to convince. For a few seconds, she waited in silence, probably weighing the options.

Finally, she said, "Okay, but promise me you'll be back early so we can all go to the park." "I promise" and "Pinky promise," I claimed.

The transaction started when I used my pinky finger to interlock her small premature own. I kissed her on the forehead and stood up. According to Alexander, "Come on, woman,"

And violently grabbed my wrist, dragging me with him. "Bye mum!" was what Archie said. We said "Bye son" and climbed back into his limousine, and I began to feel nervous about the situation. I'm going to marry.

I am making a lifetime commitment to someone I hardly know, and from the little I know about him he is very annoying and I really haven't thought about how I'm going to cope with my kids as his wife, living in the same house. My hands began to become wet, and my teeth were chattering madly against one other.

Throughout the journey, David didn't talk to me. He didn't even realize I was anxious.

What would happen if this didn't work? What if we set it on fire? Where would I go from here?

From the window, I could already see the church, which was becoming bigger and bigger as we went. It's this.
