Все главы My Brother's Bride: Глава 31 - Глава 40

Avni's POV I just wanted the movie to get over soon. I excused myself but he caught my hand. " Sit with us. " He insisted. " I am having a slight headache so I need to go. " I said. " Aunt Avni, are you still mad at my uncle?? Are you both going to fight?" Lara asked. She looked sad all of a sudden." No baby!! I am not angry with him or anyone. We are not going to fight. We are family. " I caressed her face and said with a sweet smile. " But mom and dad were also family.", Bill said. " No, baby I have just a little headache. So I want to rest. Don't worry. " I said with an assuring smile at the children and left the room but Robert came after me. " Are you ok?? Shall I call a doctor?" He asked me. " No, it's just a headache. " I said and he came very close to me and touched my forehead and cheeks with his big hand. Why does he keep touching me? Can't he keep his hands to himself? I took a step back immediately. He looked at me with a calm expression and then took a deep br

Avni's POV" Not Yet, Please... Oh, God!! Help me... Not yet, Avni !! " He said bending his head towards me. " Oh, No !! Please don't !! It's not right !! " I panicked and placed my hand on his lips to stop him from kissing me. He was shocked as much as I was but then he smiled and kissed my palm. " You are so cute... Of course, it is right. There is nothing wrong with it. But it can wait. " He turned my hand and kissed the back of it. I tried to pull my hand back. He just smirked and held it tightly. " I need to go and see Lara... " I said not daring to look at him. " Let's go dear... " He said walking towards the kids' room. He was still holding my small hand in his large one. He left my hand only when we reached there and I saw Bill looked tensed. He was looking for us. " What happened, Bill?? " He asked. " She fell asleep all of a sudden and she was shivering. Her face is red and hot!! " Bill explained. " Is it??" I said and ran towards her and touched her forehead.

Robert's POVI was still thinking about Sam and Aman when I saw Avni leaving the home and going towards the stables. I followed her out." Going to stables?? Why don't you bring your bed down there?? " I said all of a sudden and she was startled to see me. " Oh, Good morning !! Did I wake you up while leaving?? I am sorry; I tried to be as silent as possible, but..."" No, you didn't. I seem to require as little sleep as you I was in my study talking to one of our clients abroad. " I said and went to greet her in my usual way. I pulled her into an embrace and kissed both her cheeks, though the duration of the kiss was a few seconds longer than usual. A beautiful colour started creeping on her cheeks making her look even more beautiful. I had to think of something else or I would have kissed her senseless. " How is Lara now?? Did she sleep better?? And you?? " " She is fine, her temperature is also normal now. Sleeping peacefully. But it would be nice if a doctor could examine

Avni's POVBill and Lara came out. " Here she is... " I said. The doctor checked her and said she was fine. I just smiled. Both the kids ran to the swings. " Er... Do you mind me asking?? Yesterday, Mr Taylor said that you were Mrs Taylor, while you said you were not married to him. I am a bit confused. " He asked. " I was married to his brother. " I replied. " Was married?? " " My husband died in an accident. " I said calmly on the surface but I was very uncomfortable. " Oh, I am so sorry. How long ago?? " He asked me another question. " Almost a year now. " " Oh... So you are not married now? " he asked, I was getting more uncomfortable with the direction in which the conversation was going. He was trying to flirt with me. And I knew how to put him off. " Yeah !! If you will excuse me now, I have to go and tend to the kids. " I said to avoid him. " Oh, I thought it was time for breakfast. I had to leave very early in the morning. So I didn't get a chance to eat a

Robert's POV" Ok, let's not get into it. Let's talk about you. " I said. " What about me?? " she got a bit conscious. " So, since you never had a boyfriend, as you never went out with anyone on a date, why did you agree to go out with John?? " I asked as I was very curious to know what made her accept John's offer. " Oh, John was different. He was as crazy about horses as I was. We usually talked about horses, and gradually, we became friends. " She said casually. " And?? " I prompted as I wanted to know more about their relationship." And?? And what?? " She asked. " And how did he ask you to be his girlfriend and eventually about getting married to him? " I asked and I felt that she went down memory lane. I was looking at her expressions, which were changing frequently as if she was watching a movie or she was reliving those moments. She seemed excited, smiled at the sweet memories, and then became serious and even shocked and scared. Why did she look shocked and scared??
