Chapter 77 Guilt And Joy

Blue/Ava's POV

I was hanging the clothes I washed when I came face to face with Mr. Sanford after I turned around. I sucked my breath as my eyes feasted on his handsome face. I even felt my cheeks heated upon remembering my dream today. Oh, God!

His forehead creased as he stared at my face. "You're red. Are you sick?"

I quickly shook my head. "No."

He nodded with furrowed eyebrows and he attempted to help. "Let me help—"

"No!" I immediately moved the clothes away from him.

He stared at me with parted lips and after a few seconds, he nodded and lifted his arms as if surrendering. "Okay. I thought we're good, but I just hoped."

I chewed my bottom lip as I watched him turn his back and walk away. I squeezed my eyes closed. Why does it hurt seeing him walking away from me? I want to stop him, pull him back and have him around.

"Mommy, I'm just gonna play with Michie!"
