My Husband is My Professor and Boss

1Avery was fully prepared in front of the mirror but her legs would not allow her to walk through the room. Holding Liam in her arms, Sarah was standing in the middle of the room. She could tell her daughter was feeling uncomfortable. She put Liam on the bed and came over to Avery.     

"What happened, dear?"     

" Mom, I don't want to come."     

"But why!"     

"Look....", she pointed to her lower belly, "My stomach looks bigger than before." She looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a dark blue heavy net lehenga paired with a matching necklace in which she was looking very gorgeous. That was truly beyond words.     

She had curled her hair slightly which was waving on her back. And they were further enhancing her beauty.     

"This is natural dear," Sarah said to her     

" Yes, but what if someone sees this."     

"When your beautiful face is on display, who will see this baby bump of yours." Her mother teased her.     

"Mom I am not in the mood so please don't tease me." She said pouting her lips.     

"Ave my child, No one will be able to see your stomach because it will be covered with this long scarf." Sarah pointing to her stomach and took the scarf in her hand.     

"This is a net scarf mom."     

"But this is thinking, so no one will be able but still if you feel uncomfortable, you can put a lehenga on the top of your navel so that your lower belly will be covered completely.     

" Yes I can do this," Avery whispered and she pulled her lehenga up.

The Engagement Ceremony was organized of the big hall in the mansion but still the entire mansion was beautifully decorated.     

When Avery set her foot in the hall with her mother and little brother, she caught everyone's eye and her eyes caught by the lovely decoration.     

Seeing all that, Avery could say that her aunt is very rich. Her aunt's mansion was a little bigger than Alex's mansion but much smaller than Hill's main mansion and also Avery knew in a very good way that her husband could buy a bigger than this in a moment.     

There was no problem until she was busy watching her surroundings till now but when her gaze fell on the men present there who were looking at her and she saw lust their eyes she started to feel uncomfortable. She was trying to hide behind her mother when someone put big hand on her shoulder and immediately she felt like she was safe under that touch.     

She lifted her head and her innocent eyes saw. There stood Vijay Pratap Singh in his entire black attire. For a few moments, Avery moved her eyes over Vijay Pratap Singh's entire body and the only thought that came to her mind was, 'even at this age, this man looks so handsome, how much more beautiful he must have looked in his youth.' And she immediately shook her head. 'This is a wrong Avery.' She told herself and stood there.     

Soon the engagement ceremony started.     

While watching Natasha's engagement ceremony, Avery remembered her and Alex's first meeting and unknowingly put a smile on her face and automatically put her hand on her stomach.     

After the Ceremony, it was time to hit the dance floor. After the first dance of the bride and groom, the couples started joining the dance floor.     

Everything that was happening in that hall reminded Avery of her and Alex's moments. She was standing near her mother and watching the dance moves of others when suddenly a large hand appeared in front of her. She looked at the owner of that hand. There was a smile on his face and words came out of his mouth, "Can this young lady dance with me and make this day lucky for me?"     

His voice was so calm and magical that for a moment Avery's brain reprocessed his words again. But no matter how was his voice still, she didn't want to dance with him, if Alex had been in that young man's place, she would have been ready within a second.     

Avery was thinking about how to deny him but suddenly her breathing halted when he grabbed her delicate wrist in his hand without her concern. She was lucky that Vijay Pratap Singh grabbed her wrist before he would take her to the dance floor, "Sorry Young Man but this beautiful girl is already taken."     

"And who are you to say this?" That young guy's face frowned.     

"Watch your tongue, Young Man. I am her grandfather." Vijay Singh freed Avery's wrist from the young man's hand and grabbed her hand in the light grip, "Come, dear." He led her to the dance floor.     

Shortly after, the pair of grandfather and granddaughter became the centre of attraction on the dance floor. Even though they were not an ideal couple and even though their age was very wide and even though they did not love birds, the soft dance moves of the two of them attracted everyone.     

Sarah was sitting in a chair with Liam. Her eyes would not let go of Avery even for a moment because it was not appropriate for Avery to dance in such a situation. But the moves of both of them were very light and they were dancing very slowly so there was no need to worry too much.     

Vinay thought his granddaughter was very smart just like her mother. 'But is there anyone in his granddaughter's life like his daughter?' He thought. But he knew he had no right to decide or think about Avery's life. Still, this one thought trembled his body.

Avery was talking to Alex. He was still in his office. Even though Avery was exhausted, she didn't cut the call without giving Alex details of today's events. Alex also listened carefully to every word and from what Avery told him, he concluded that Vijay Pratap Singh was not an ordinary person.
