Married to my nemesis-Chapter 178: Naughty boy

"Mummy!" Arthur called out to her as she jolted from the water that was splashed on her.

It was unexpected as the two turned their heads to shield their faces and then they turned to Arthur’s direction to see him come out of the pool with a mischievous look on his face.

"Oh, you naughty boy—" Vixen called out as Arthur walked towards them still laughing, while in the mood of trying to recover from Arthur’s unexpected water explosion, she raised her head just to take a glimpse of Vixen.

Why hasn’t she noticed how handsome he looked?

She was about to speak when she felt arms crawl around her waist and then when lowered her head, it was the mischievous face of the boy.

"Arthur—"

"Do you like that Mummy?" He said in his childish tone and then he turned to the assumed lifeguard.

"Daddy—" he said recognizing the man.

"Oh wow, so you knew me this quickly, I thought my disguise was going to fool you. Well, what you did I never thought that you were going to be this mischievous—" Arthur shook his head in denial with laughter on his face and then his father was ready to catch him like a prey but Arthur was fast as he ran around Abi letting his father come after him.

Abi raised her hands with laughter, she couldn’t help but laugh, these two were really something.

Vixen finally caught Arthur and then he hauled him just to tickle him.

Arthur laughed unable to recover from the effect of his father’s tickles.

" You naughty boy, I never thought you would be this mischievous, that water hit was so much—" Vixen jested as he tickled him.

Abi had a smile on her face as she watched them.

Vixen walked towards the pool still having Arthur in his arms and then in a fist, he jumped into the pool making Abi turn to the side since the water once again splashed on her.

Truth be told these two were really mischievous.

She walked towards the pool still having a chuckle.

"Abi, common, join the party—" she heard Vixen say as he swam towards her side.

"No, no, you guys swim all you want, I’ll stay here—" she said and then she went towards the beach bench near the pool, placing shades on her eyes and then took a hat on relaxing on the bench.

Vixen didn’t expect that but he was ready to convince her, he came out out the water, shaking his head so he could ward off the water that was dripping down his hair.

He walked towards her just to cover the view of the sun.

Abi placed a grimace on her face.

"Common, what happened? Why don’t you want to join, I thought you were excited about this," he said as he sat on the bench and then Abi sat up.

"Is not about that— is just that," she paused and then she closely examined Vixen’s appearance, the hair was no longer plaited making it reach his shoulder with water dripping down his hair and it became lengthy.

His masculine jawline, those cheeks that gave pronounced his highlighted hazel eyes.

"Vixen, actually, truth be told." She diverted her gaze just to see Arthur swim happily.

She heaved a deep breath.

"I really wish to swim but the fact is that no one has ever taught me lesson, why my mates were out having a nice time out, I was always reading. I didn’t get enough time to have a social life, even to the fact that I didn’t put swimming in my list."

"Then let me teach you how to swim."

"Wh-what?"

"Well I’m the life guard here," he said as he pointed to the shirt.

"So why don’t I teach you," he added.

"But—" she was about to speak further but then she felt Vixen’s arms on her back and leg just to discover that he had carried her from the bench, she immediately held to his neck for support.

"No, buts, I’ll teach you, and besides, I’m sure Arthur would also want you to be with him. It wouldn’t take long to discover that you’re an expert in swimming, trust me, " he said and then she nodded.

Vixen got her into the water gently assisting her he taught her the basis of swimming, when she was losing hope since she drowned sometimes, he came close to her and then held her by the waist pulling her closer.

" You can trust me, I’ll make sure you’re okay, " he said in a hoarse tone as his eyes seemed devious but then she could sense comfort from his eyes and then his hold on her.

She nodded.

" Okay—" he stated and then lessen his hold on her, he helped her out, as they continued, Arthur came in and soon enough she got the hand of it.

She chuckled and then she planned something, she walked towards Vixen requesting if he could give a piggy bank ride while he was still in the water, he was the one among the three who’s height didn’t dilute with the water, reaching to his navel.

After a while, he answered, she smiled and then called Arthur, not expecting the next thing, he heard Abi instructing him to hold unto Arthur from the front while she was at his back.

She chuckled but she needed to make it a memory.

One of the maids came forwards and then took a phot of the three, Abi was excited she raised one of her hands encouraging Vixen to smile, Arthur, he was excited on his own he gave his best poses to the camera.

When they were done with that, the three swam together but their hands held.

Abi felt elated as she turned to Arthur and Vixen.

They were her world.

Everything that she wanted.

Coming out of the water since they were tired, Abi made sure to get Arthur dried as she wrapped a towel around him.

She’d forgotten about her own shiver as she felt a cloth placed on her, when she raised her head to see Vixen, he had a smile on his face.

"I’m sure you’ll need this—" he said in a gentle voice and then walked away.

Abi stopped as she pursued her lips, she wanted to thank Vixen but for some unknown reasons she watched as he walked away.

"Common, you have to get a shower, Arthur," she said as she turned to Arthur who nodded.

Arthur excitedly ran with his Nanny towards his room while she hurriedly walked towards Vixen’s direction.

"Vixen—" she called out for him as he took a stop and then turned to her.

She looked at him seeing the eyes that penetrated her soul.

She bit her lip a bit feeling anxious she lowered her head.

If only she knew what she was doing to Vixen.

Is been years since Vixen had ever felt this way for someone and just at her petty action, he felt the urge of being so close to her.

She raised her head.

"I just want to say—" as she spoke, she flickered with her nail feeling so anxious. "Actually," she stuttered.

"You’re feel nervous?" She heard him say and then she immediately shook her head.

"No, no, is just that — I wanted to thank you so much for everything that you’ve done for me and I thought, since I’ll be moving away tomorrow, can I get Arthur to bed tonight?"

"I don’t see why that is an obstacle."

"That’s not what I meant — while I put Arthur to bed, I want you to be there with me."

She said with admiration in her eyes as she stared at him.

He was silent for a while and then he nodded.

"Okay, if that’s what you want."

She had a full stretch of a smile on her lips.

"Thanks you, Vixen," she said and then she unexpectedly gave him a hug.

"Thank you, thank you," with elation, she wrapped her arms around his neck as she stepped on her toes.

Vixen was hesitant for a while as he raised his hand and then placed it on her waist pulling her closer.

"You know, I’ve never had this joy in my life and now that you’re saying this—" she pushed herself a bit so she could stare into his eyes.

"I feel really really happy, in fact, I don’t mind if I leave." She added.

Since this was a perfect time to confess his feelings, he looked at her with deep sanity and then he pursued his lips to speak but then he stopped himself.

"I’m you would have a nice journey and you can finally have the life that you’ve always wanted."

"Yeah I know, finally, the life that I always wanted will be given to me and that’s all because of you," she embraced him again.

"Sometimes Vixen, I can’t help but think what my life would be like if you didn’t appear, maybe I wouldn’t have the spark that I’m seeing now. You’re my best friend, Vixen," she said as she hugged him tighter but then in Vixen’s mind.

He was settled, why was he trying to be something else in her life, it was clear to him.

There was nothing between him and Abi other than the connection they had because of his son.

She was his best friend and he had to stick with that.

"I promise, when I leave, I’ll make sure to come see you and Arthur, and, " she played with his cheeks.

" I think I have to leave now, I’m sure Arthur will be waiting for me, " she added.

Vixen held his breath and then gulped his saliva.

" Yeah, you should, " he said in a lighten tone.
