Chapter 131 The Feeling Of Bliss And Happiness.
In light of Owen’s discharge from the hospital, Leonica and Ashley had arranged a short trip to a once in a century festival that way taking place in the heart of Oslo.
Throughout the ride towards Owen’s place, Ashley was hyper, bouncing up and down in the back seat. As much as Leonica wanted to lecture him on seating still, she opted not to, letting the child have his way for now.
It was sort of a compensation for the way her decisions had messed up his life.
Speaking of decisions, she thought as she adjusted her mirror above, fixing it so that she could see Ashley from behind.
“Ash,” She called out, looking away from the room in time to see the child looking back at her on the mirror. “You okay, buddy?” She asked. “About your dad and I’s decision?” She added.
Just like before, when she had explained the entire situation to him, Ashley flashed her a big smile. “I’m fine, mommy.” He reassured. “I understand mommy and daddy can’t be together and that doesn’t bother me, as long as you both are happy.”
Leonica’s lips twitched into a smile, happy that she had raised such a wonderful boy. “I love you so much, darling.”
“I love you too mommy.” Ashley responded.
Shortly after their conversation had ended, Leonica pulled up in Owen’s driveway to find him leaning against one of his cars. The smile on his lips as he stared absentmindedly at the darkening sky told Leonica all she needed to know.
Just like Ashley, he too couldn’t contain his excitement, because he knew that this festival marked not just the celebration of him getting discharged but a turning point in his life.
The sound of a car approaching drew his attention, and soon Leonica’s car pulled to a stop. Leaning away from his car, Owen watched as Leonica stepped out with Ashley by her side. His heart skipped a beat at the sight of them. Leonica wore a floral dress that swayed with every step, and Ashley sported a grin that hinted at the thrill of the upcoming festivities.
