Chapter 0293
“Has Rowan eaten?”
“Not yet; he told me that he would eat after he was done and that I shouldn’t trouble
myself.”
I nod my head. “Okay, then, have a goodnight.”
“Goodnight too”
After she leaves, I make a plate for Rowan. Who knows how long it would be before he
finished up. He couldn’t run on an empty stomach. Once I’m done, I take the plate and
head to his office.
The door was open, but I still knocked.
He looks up from the papers he was going through. Though he looked tired, probably from
lack of sleep,
he still looked so F***ing hot.
“You know you don’t have to knock, Ava,” he says as he leans back against his chair.
I want to remind him that it wasn’t like that before, but I refrain from it. In the past, he
wouldn’t even allow
me anywhere near his office. Especially when he was inside it.

Crossing the room, I place the plate of food in front of him. I was about to round the desk
and sit on one of the chairs, but he stops me.
He grasps my hand and pulls me towards him, making me sit on his lap. Not that I minded
one bit.
“Hmm, I’ve missed you… I can’t wait for this deal to be sealed so I can spend quality time
with you” he murmurs, his voice pulling me into a seductive web.
Unconsciously, I shift around in his lap drawing a groan from him. His arm tightens around
my waist as he runs his nose along my neck, sending shivers down my spine.
“You smell divine.”
“It’s my b*dy wash,” I mumble unintelligently.
Damn it. I need to be laid. I wanted S** so bad, but I didn’t know how to ask him for it or
how to approach him about it. He was always the one who initiated S** before. I tried
once, and he rejected me. I’ve never tried again. I always waited for him to come to me,
so that’s what I’m still doing.
“You need to eat, Rowan,” I tell him, breaking the spell.
It would be so easy to take advantage of his tired state. All I had to do was straddle him,
open his zip, and push my panties aside. Given how wet I was, he would slide inside me
easily, and we would both get what
we wanted.
I can’t do that, though. This merger was important to him. I couldn’t jeopardize that for
S**. Maybe when his head isn’t occupied, I’ll try seducing him, but not right now.
He sighs, but doesn’t say anything. After a while, he begins to eat. I try to get up, but he
refuses to let me
1. go.
“Can I ask you for a favor?” I ask after a while.
He nods.
“Can you please let Emma go?” I plead gently.
This was the right thing to do. I couldn’t teach Noah about hatred while I harbored hatred
in my heart. It
wouldn’t do me any good. I didn’t want to hold grudges. I had Rowan. My focus was on
building my
marriage with him.
The spoon drops from his hand. “Absolutely no”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Please? What she did was wrong, but I don’t want to hold on to bitterness and anger. I
don’t want her punished because I believe that karma is real. I’m doing this for me,
Rowan, not her or Travis. I want to heal and move forward and I can only do that by letting
go of the past.”
“But she hurt you,” he sighs, refusing to let the issue go.
“Yes, and according to what Travis told me, for two weeks she’s been paying for that
mistake. She’s probably learned her lesson.”
He is stubborn, and I can see the reluctance in his eyes. He was fighting the truth of my
words.
“Please?” I plead sweetly, cupping his cheek gently.
His eyes focus on mine, and the moment they do, they soften. Love takes over.
I watch as this fierce man melts in front of me. It’s a sight to behold, and I cherish each
second I get to see it.
“Fine,” he agrees. “But on one condition.”
“What’s that?” I ask curiously.
He smiles mischievously, making me want to k*ss him.
“That you go on a date with me…we’ve never gone on a date. It’s time I changed that”
This time I’m the one that smiles, as happiness and excitement fill me.
