The call

"I do have a child but not in the way you think." after I heard these words, I froze for a split second before nodding.

This is Gerard Jarek and any woman would fall for his elegance and magnificence.

I couldn't say anything else and just sat still. When the silence got unbearable, I stood up and began to pack the plates.

Gerard was still on his phone while I parked the plates and headed straight for the kitchen.

As soon as I closed the door that separated the kitchen from the dining room, I sighed. What was this feeling? Why did I feel so attracted to this man?

Ayla, this isn't you. You can't be having feelings for Gerard at least, not yet. I hit my head repeatedly then moved to the sink to do the dishes.

I had barely started when he walked into the kitchen with a jug in his hand. Apparently, I had forgotten to take it away when I was clearing the dishes.

He walked up to me and took my hands from the water confusing me. 'Now, what is he up to?'
