Chapter 340 - 24th Day Of The Month

It was a sunny day yet the wind was shivering. Ace turned his head to his beautiful girlfriend wearing that sexy outfit that he bought for her. She was reading some documents. She's so hot and sexy and she's been torturing him for hours. She insisted on not making love until tonight and it was hard to see her like that. 

"I'm leaving." Ace said. 

"Where to?" She asked as she flipped the paper. "To see that girl that nearly touches you?" She asked as she crossed her ankles. "Go ahead." 

"Fuck," Ace went to the sofa and slouches. "Baby, please." He begged her. "We are leaving tomorrow. Please give me this time…" 

"No." She said coldly. "I have a lot of work pending here." 

He went through his fake social media and smiled when there's a Christmas video of Alessandro and Keira playing a song together. Keira was playing the cello while Alessandro was playing the piano. He listens to it as he relaxes and forgets that he was aroused a while ago. He stopped when she walked in front of him and went to the bathroom wearing that sexy see-through outfit. He sighed and shook his head. He needs to make sure that he won't get distracted by her. 

She went back to bed and his eyes couldn't keep from her. So, he cursed and put the phone away then approached her. 

"Sexy love, I can't take it anymore." He reached her ankle and kissed it. "Please," 

"No." She insisted but then, he grabbed the documents and tossed them away. 

"I'm sorry." He grumbled as he climbed on the bed, scooped her neck, and kissed her mouth passionately. She wrapped her arms around him quickly and hugged him. "Let's do it now. I think we have to leave early." He said seductively. 

"Oh," She pouted. "We didn't get to walk around." She caressed his brows with her thumb. 

"Let's do it so we can walk around." He grinned and sucked her lips. 

It was over an hour when they decided to dress up and walk around the farm. 

She was wearing a pretty sundress and he was wearing his usual casual outfit while holding her hand like a normal couple. 

"Darling," He called as he stared at the strawberries. "We should buy a lot of it." 

"Yeah, sure." She nodded and it is a good thing that she had her purse with her. They took a basket and started gathering strawberries. "We can make a lot with strawberries. I think the boss would want more of these fresh berries." 

"How much cash do you have?" He asked. "I don't think that they accept credit here." 

She quickly checked her purse and showed him twenty thousand bills. 

"Wow," he was puzzled. "Since you did you~~ you always carry that?" 

"I always have extras on dates." She shrugged at him. 

"Hey, I am your first and last date." He rolled his eyes. He scooped her chin and kissed her passionately and dominantly. 

"Too bad. I want to date someone else." 

"No." He chuckled at her. "I won't let that happen." Then, he kissed her forehead. "Let's gather this up quickly so we can leave and make love." 

"No way," She chuckled. 

They gathered more baskets and surprisingly it cost them three thousand and he carefully put it at the back of the car.

Keira was humming while making her strawberry ice cream cake. Her husband was also busy doing the whipped cream. She sighed when they didn't have enough strawberries. She needed more for the jam. 

"Love!" She exclaimed when Alessandro couldn't stop eating the strawberries. "How can I make my strawberry ice cream cake now?" 

"I'm sorry." He pouted. "Don't worry. Ace and Guinevere will be delivering more strawberries." 

"Really?" She creased her brows. "You better not eat it until I am done making the cake." She scolded him. 

"Yes, boss." He nodded his head as he stared at the sliced strawberries. Then, Keira went back on making the strawberry jam. Alessandro was about to take another piece but she smacked his hand and took it from him. 

"Madam, Sir, Mr. Ace, and Miss Guinevere are here." The maid said as Alessandro quickly left. 

"Why was he craving strawberries?" She mumbled and then her husband came back with five baskets of strawberries. "Where did they go?" She asked him. 

"They leave quickly." Alessandro grinned. 

"Babe, you have to help me with the jam too." 

"Yes, boss." He grumbled as he took the basket and put the strawberries in a basin full of water and with baking soda. He soaked all of it and he helped her slice a few more. 

"Love," he suddenly called and she looked at him. 

"Hmm?" 

He sighed and put the knife down. Then, he hugged her from behind and kissed her neck. 

"I want to take a day off from everything here in the Philippines." 

"Okay, are you out on a trip all by yourself or with someone else?" She raised her brows. 

"Of course, with someone." He grinned and squeezed her breasts. "I want my wife, my lover, my mistress to be there." 

"That's three people! Are you planning for an orgy?" She teased but he only laughed. Then, he kissed her lips. 

"I might be. I can be three people at the same time." 

She giggled and rubbed her butt to his crotch. He sighed and hugged her waist tightly. 

"With all of the things happening here, I think it is better if we were away." 

"Yeah," She nodded her head. "But do you think that they wouldn't do anything bad even when we were away?" 

"Maybe just for a few days?" He suggested. 

"Okay," She grinned at him, and then she turned around so they could kiss passionately. 

"Hey, your jam is burning!" Alex interrupted them as the couple pulled away from each other. Keira quickly stirred the casserole and put in more jam and sugar. Alex sat down on the barstool and leaned his chin over his hand. 

"What's wrong?" Keira asked. 

"She broke up with me." He said. "I will be all alone this Christmas." 

"Don't be funny." Alessandro scoffed. "I will give you younger women." 

"I am not a whore." Alex frowned at his son. 

"Dad, wanting a woman isn't being a whore." Sandro shrugged at him as Keira agreed. 

"It's fine, I will just use the dating app then." Alex had decided. 

"Why would you use it when you can attract women?" Sandro asked as he looked at his father weirdly. 

"I should ask the same," Keira said as put more strawberries on the casserole. 

"I wish your mom reincarnated in someone else's body." He mumbled as he depressingly shoved his face to his arms on the countertop. 

Keira started singing a very lonely love song and her husband sang along. Alex frowned at the couple who kept singing. It was beautiful and a very perfect blend. The couple who continued singing was doing their own business as they pissed him off with a love song. They are annoying, really teasing him with another song where he could relate. 

"Stop." He pleaded to them. 

Then, the couple even danced while singing and it was the most hilarious and most annoying thing that they did. However, he loves them and they are his kids. 

"Fine, I'm leaving." 

"Wait," Keira stopped him. "You have to try the jam first." She told him. 

"Fine," 

Keira put a little amount of jam on the small sauce plate and gave it to him. He cooled it down and tasted it. 

"Hmm, not too sweet. Perfect." He said and finished everything on the sauce plate and left. 

"Dad needs a real girlfriend. Someone that could please him." Keira said. "He's very lonely." 

"That's what I am talking about. But not too young." Alessandro said as he put the strawberries on the drainer. 

Keira was in deep thought as she turned off the stove and stirred the jam. 

"Let's continue with work." He said as he carefully put the casserole over the counter to cool it down. 

The couple continues working. Soon, they started to put on the cream on the tin cans as they designed it. The couple worked for more than five hours until midnight came. They put it all in the freezer and they sighed after a good day at work. 

"It's already the 24th day!" He said. "Christmas is coming!" Alessandro cheered and she cheered along with her husband. "Let's sleep now because we will have a big party tomorrow." He grinned at her. 

They went upstairs as they took a shower together, then snuggled on the bed. Alessandro checked the tourist spots around the world. He wanted to have a long vacation with her before their wedding. He's been stressed lately and he knew that she was too. Wendy Charles was very consistent with blackmailing them. He doesn't want to see any surprise gifts. It made his stomach churns. 

"Why won't we go to Bali?" She asked. "You promised to bring me there, right? After the semester break." She pouted at him. 

"Yes," he patted her head. "Let's go there. I will have everything set before the new year." 

He scrolled through the pictures and smiled. He thought that she was still checking it but somehow, she had already fallen asleep. 

"I can't live without you.." He whispered.
