“I told you to stay.” Arthur growled.
Ace had no energy to argue so he kept silent ignoring his father’s shouts and yells. The shouts continued for the next thirty minutes and Ace hoped he would end his stupid yells soon. Later, Ace reached his bedroom and fell on the bed. He shut his eyes to drift into sleep but Edwin’s face kept displaying in front of him that made him unable to sleep.

In an hour, he reached the guesthouse, where Ace was already waiting for him. Edwin entered in calling out Ace’s name. Then he found him near the swimming pool, sleeping on the sun lounger. Edwin’s smile widened, seeing him, and he slowly walked towards him. With his eyes shut, arms folded, Ace looked so cute and Edwin began adoring him, silently. Suddenly, Ace came out of his sleep and his face brightened as soon as he saw Edwin. Ace sat straight, speaking “Hey! Oops! I fell asleep.” Edwin sat beside him without fading his smile. Noticing his happiness, Ace asked “Won any lottery?” Edwin shook his head as negative without shifting his gaze away from Ace's blue eyes. He said “It was you.”

His face turned worried and when he was about to withdrew Freddie’s hold on him, Freddie said “If you are worrying about Edwin then listen to me, he is safe.” “Where is he?” Ace asked, narrowing his eyebrows. “In the next room.” Freddie replied with a disappointed face. “I have to see him.” Ace replied trying to get up from there but Jacob’s shout made him stop in his tracks. “Freddie said your friend is safe.

When he heard the notification sound, he got excited to see the reply but after seeing it, his heart shrank.Ace: Ed, so sorry. I am going out with Jacob. I will meet you later.Edwin just stared at the message swallowing down his sadness. He badly wanted to meet Ace and share everything that he had been doing at the office with him but Ace seemed he was not at all interested in it. It reminded him of Liam, and the days when he used to die to meet Liam but he kept turning down his ideas.Without giving any reply, Edwin turned off his phone to focus on his laptop.

But please don’t ignore me.” “What can I do, Ed?” His father shouted. “Do you know what you are doing? Do you really understand?” he scoffed. “A homo? Really?” Edwin bent his head down swallowing down his emotions. His father continued “How can you even say that?

Let’s have dinner together.” Edwin’s father announced that surprised Ralph and Kate, a little. “You know Ace?” Ralph questioned and Edwin pressed his lips together but he didn’t try to convince him or divert the topic. He let Ralph and Kate to know everything. While his father kept saying things about Edwin and Ace, how they both used to visit the town, Ralph and Kate, stunned.
