C7 Chapter 7

I got my order. I changed my clothes and left the restroom. Liam was sound asleep. "Joe, I'm leaving, dear. Today I am not going to college,” I stated.

"You will not be going alone. Allow me to drive you to your home,” Joe said. I was going to say something when I stopped abruptly. There was no reason to stop him if that's what he wanted to do.

I sighed and followed in his footsteps. I was aware that Joe was upset. As a result, I broke the stillness.

"You should have gone to college," I said to Joe.

"No, you are more important than my class," he stated emphatically while driving the car.

"How nice!" I said with a chuckle.

"Nope, I simply want to spend some quality time with you, Ivy," he said. I lowered my head and asked, "In the car? We are free to go somewhere else."

"But you said someone would be coming to your house today," he said.

"Oh, yes," I said. I nearly forgot about it.

"Are you mad at me, Joe?" I asked.

"How can I be upset with you?" he said, smiling. I grinned as I gazed out the window.

We eventually arrived at our destination.

"Thank you, honey," I expressed my gratitude. Joe took my hand in him and kissed it.

He said, "Call me when you're free."

I crawled into his lap and sat there. Joe grabbed my buttocks and rubbed his dong on my buttocks, asking, "Do you still want it?"

I grinned as I smashed my lips together with his.

"No, I need to sleep. I didn't get enough sleep last night."

I opened the door and left his car. Joe gave me a flying kiss and started the car.

When I was about to enter I was startled hearing my brother's voice.

"You're clingy with him."

With widened eyes, I glanced at him and remarked, "Jack, you are a jerk! You frightened me."

"When I saw you with Joe, you frightened me too, sis," he added.

"Don't tell mom," I murmured, frowning at him.

"Mom is quite busy. Perhaps she has forgotten about you," Jack explained.

"What?" I said, raising one of my eyebrows.

He continued, "Yeah, she's busy with a guest."

"Guest? So they've already arrived?” I asked.

"Not them. Is that the only one?” Jack replied.

"Meet up with him. According to my father, he is my uncle,” He even said, When I heard uncle, my heart started racing because dad didn't have a brother.

"Hey,” Jack said to me.

I gazed at him and couldn't think of anything to say. Because I knew who was there.

I stepped inside slowly while my heart was racing so rapidly. I noticed my parents talking with someone. I couldn't see his face; all I could see was his back.

"Here you are, sweetheart. Look, who is it?” Dad explained.

I approached my father but did not look at him.

"Ivy," he called out immediately. Hearing his voice, I instantly recognized who he was. I knew you would be here. When I gazed up at him, my heart stopped. Both of us exchanged looks.

I pressed my lips together. I was unable to give him a clear response. My heart throbbed with a piercing agony. His gaze was fixed on mine. I couldn't bear to look into his eyes any longer. Inside my mind, I had a lot of questions.

"Do you remember him, baby?" my dad said.

"U-uncle," I murmured, nodding yes.

‘How am I supposed to forget him? I used to love him. I don't want to remember anything.’

I took a deep breath. I fixed my gaze on him.

‘My uncle is now more attractive and dashing.’

When he stared at me, I felt a bit embarrassed.

‘Is he still remembering all I did?’ I thought as I bit my lower lip.

Mom told me, "Aaron will stay with us, Ivy."

I made an attempt to smile. However, as I heard her, my heart was pounding.

‘What? As a result, he will continue to live with us as before. How will I deal with him on a day-to-day basis then?’

"Aaron, you should go with Ivy. She'll take you to your room,” Mrs. Tati said.

"Mom, I've just arrived," I was going to say something but she gave me a threatening look and said, "Ivy, go."

"Thank you, sis," Aaron expressed his gratitude. He then turned to face me. I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

‘You can do it, Ivy. You're not an 11-year-old child. You are now 19 years old. Why are you so jittery?’

I gave him a sidelong glance before heading upstairs. I took him to the last corner room, from which he had a breathtaking view of the entire garden; its balcony is next to mine.

"It's your room," I responded, clearing my throat. He pulled out his coat. I took a quick glance at his chest before shifting my gaze to the ground. When I looked at him, I felt so weak. He seemed to be dragging me towards him. I was startled to hear a deep voice say, "Ivy." I swiftly shift my gaze to the opposite side. I didn't want to show him that I was still vulnerable to him.

"Yes," I replied.

Aaron asked, "How are you?"

"I'm OK," I said.

Uncle, why are you asking me? You've turned me down so many times. Now you're showing that you care about me.

Aaron smiled as he continued, "You're a big girl now."

What did you think I'd always be like as a little girl?

I fixed my gaze on him. But fuck, he's still got that amazing smile on his face.

"I know, I'm no longer that immature. Someone, though, cannot understand that I am no longer a kid,” I stated.

Uncle began to chuckle when he heard me. I gazed at him, and his expression was the same.

He hasn't changed in any way. I'm sorry, but I won't be able to stay here.

I was about to walk away but Uncle grabbed my hand. My heart skipped a beat. "Uncle," I responded.

Aaron had his gaze fixed on me.

"I heard uncle from your mouth after so many years," he remarked.
