Chapter 252 - And your heart bled out for him?

Akil turned around and gave Sridhar a thoughtful look… Sridhar was still busy arguing with Preethi rather than looking at him. From the time he had walked to the doors, his eyes never landed on the little guy… not even once.

"No… I don't want to talk to him…" Akil mumbled and buried his head in Adam's neck… you cannot really miss the melancholy in his voice from a mile away.

Hearing him, a strange kind of rage seeded in Adam's chest. He did not even have this much anger when Sridhar insulted him and Preethi.

The fact that Sridhar was doing this to Akil… especially on his birthday… Adam did not know what he would have done if only Akil was not there in his arms. He would have probably buried the guy alive.

After all, even if not by much… at the very least he knew and could relate to how it felt to not being wanted by your parent.

He did not have the heart to show him his parents fighting. SO, Adam just pecked on his cheeks and got him out of the living room.

"It's okay, bud. We will get you out of here… We will go to your room while the a.d.u.l.ts talk, okay?" Adam asked softly but his legs were already reaching for his room.

Akil just nodded his head without letting go of Adam's neck. Adam looked around as he saw Akira standing in a corner. Charan whispered something and she actually followed Adam out of the living room with her stub little legs.

"Come on, baby. Let's get out of here…" Adam said caressing her head.

He did not really care about what was happening in the living room. He knew Preethi was there but so were Bharath and Charan… so, she wouldn't be at a disadvantage…

As soon as they reached his room, Adam sat him on his bed and looked at him. "You okay there, bud?" His voice was soft as he asked Akil.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="/book/rich-brat-sweet-revenge-of-a-lazy-princess_15043105205573105/and-your-heart-bled-out-for-him_50830847854575342">/book/rich-brat-sweet-revenge-of-a-lazy-princess_15043105205573105/and-your-heart-bled-out-for-him_50830847854575342</a> for visiting.

Akil did not open his mouth but still nodded his head.

"You want to ask me something…?" Adam asked once again seeing Akil biting on his lips pretty vigorously as if trying to stop himself from talking.

"He doesn't want me, does he?" Akil asked in a timid voice that could break hearts. It was so meek and nervous.

Adam could easily decipher where he was coming from. But he did not lose his cool. But instead asked softly, "Does that make you sad, bud?" He did not want to give him false hope at this junction knowing too well it would be a white lie. 'No, your dad loves you…' or 'he is just busy right now…' That kind of sentence lost its meaning since Sridhar hadn't been in touch for not one or two days but 5 freaking years. So, lying right now may do more damage than the truth. And Akil was at an age where he would actually remember everything…

Akil, on the other hand, thought about Adam's question and nodded. His head barely moved as if he was not ready to accept it for himself.

"It is okay to be sad, bud," Adam said ruffling his head but did not add anything to it.

But after a long pause, Akil opened his mouth and said with a firm tone after contemplating everything seriously.

"It's okay if he doesn't want me. I won't be sad… I have mom and I have you. It is enough!"

Adam was actually surprised with the kind of determination his young voice had.

"And we will be here for you no matter what…" Adam said smiling at him.

Akil actually returned the smile and hugged Adam all over again.

But their moment got interrupted when Bharath walking into the room and gestured Adam to come out with him…

Adam walked out with a frown after pecking Akil on his cheeks.

"What is it?" Adam asked.

"Well, Preethi looks just about ready to sucker punch her ex- to the next universe if only it were possible!!" Bharath said. There were excitement and some anxiety in his voice.

"And your heart bled out for him?" Adam asked sarcastically rolling his eyes. If only he was not Akil's dad, Adam would have done the same the minute he walked into the house… or maybe he wouldn't have even let him near the house.

"What? Of course, not. It's just… Preethi is practically going livid since he keeps calling you 'her' boy toy… I did not even want to know the meaning of half the profanities she is throwing at Sridhar…" Bharath elaborated but then stopped seeing Adam actually grin after hearing him.

Bharath couldn't help roll his eyes before continuing, "Hey, can you get your head out of the gutter and focus on the problem here. I do not want to have an ugly crime scene in the living room!! And she wouldn't listen to any of us." If only Adam was younger than him, he would have probably swatted at the back of his head.

Adam let out a sign and went to the living room.

He did not really want to save Sridhar. He wished he could beat him… but since it would only look like petty jealousy to everyone's eyes, he did not bother. But Preethi was doing it for him… so, he was really reluctant to intervene at such a great opportunity.

But seeing Gopal and Srimathi anxious and knowing Sridhar was Akil's dad, he still walked towards Preethi who was trying to get away from Charan's grip. Charan instantly let her go and went towards his own parents. He could see the scene was getting out of hand and he was not looking forward to letting them see this at this age… so, instead, he sent them up to look after Akil and Akira…

"Whoa… Whoa… Preethi… Calm down will you… He is not worth it…" Adam said holding her by her waists.

But Preethi did not really notice the change… her eyes were trying to insert daggers into Sridhar's head while she kept struggling to get out of his grips.

In her struggle, her nails just about missed his eyes as he called out, "Whoa!! Easy there, wild cat. Are you planning on grouching my eyes out…" Adam exclaimed.

At last, Preethi snapped and looked at Adam.

"Sorry… sorry… are you hurt?" She asked anxiously looking at Adam.
