Chapter 158 - One Hundred And Fifty-eight.

As Angelo continued to kiss her she continued to stare at her phones screen, dazzled to why she was calling. Because to her it seemed like there was no reason for her call as she was the one to break everything off as usual. This was the same that continued; she would break all contact and then come running back with various calls and texts. Then came the gifts and parties. Her mother always tried her best to make up after leaving her without any notice.

It was to calling each other every day to that one day that always came, where the robot would say 'this number does not exist'. She would always be devastated and angry at herself for expecting something more even after running through the same continuous cycles. They never ended, the only started and continue to play on.

She swiped the the screen and declined the call. She was in no way picking it up. Happy or not, Alexis now have a family with no focus on the the circumstances she had been in but at least people cared. And she could judge their honest concern regarding her.

She kept the phone back on the table and continued to enjoy Angelo's kisses. But something felt different. It was as if she didn't want to feel his touch as if her body was being repulsed against him. she did not understand a feeling but something in her heart told her stop touching him. She felt her skin burn.

Her phone rang once again and Angelo pulled apart.

"Who is it?" He growled still looking down at her. "there is the second time your phone rang." He noticed.

"I don't know." She shook her head. "My phone write on the coffee table. I don't know who is calling me right now."

Irritated, Angelo looked over at the coffee table and fell silent as you read the username. "It is your mother." He said in a grim voice. "Why is she calling you?"

The way he called for the reason Alexis felt as if he was accusing her of something which somehow did not set right with her.

"What are you trying to accuse me of?" She immediately sat up and defended herself. "you know I do not want to talk to my mother. I haven't done that since our marriage so why would I start now in the middle of nowhere when she decides to turn up."

"I'm not accusing you anything, I'm asking you why is she calling you?"

Now she replied in a irritated tone, "And once again how would I know? I haven't talked to her in six months."

It rang again and silenced their arguments any further. They both unconsciously down of the phone ring and show the name 'mum' on it.

"Are you not going to pick it he muttered standing a further the from her and near his table.

She shrugged. "I do not know and neither do I care to know the answer to that." Every time this cycle happened if she would give in and pick up the call and they would then become the best friends of all time but this time Alexis I decided that she would not give in. She would hold her ground.

"I second to that," he gently said as he came to her and pulled her to sit down on the couch with him. He held her close as he talked. "You cannot let her in every time after she chooses to walk out on you. she should have been there for you at your wedding when you had chosen hurt what you down the aisle, that is a very big decision. Yet she did not come to the wedding and remained to be aggressive about me trying to stand up for you."

His words were the truth that she never wanted to hear out loud and since she was now, she felt awful embarrassed and humiliated by her mother. She felt like crying and she already wad. "I know," he sniffed.

And he continued, "I cannot understand how can a mother choose to abandon her child even after knowing that her baby was abused most of her life in her own nest." He stroked her hair, "don't worry, I know that you do not want anything with her so I will make sure that she never contacts you ever again."

That seemed right. Her mother had to get a taste of your own medicine. Whenever she wanted she would pack up and leave and no matter how hard Alexis try to reach out to her she was either blocked or unavailable. It suddenly became as if her mother never existed.

So what Angela said felt right. she deserved this treatment from her daughter after deserting her every time she wished. If there was a given reasons and Alexis would have understood but there was not one.

"Yes," she turned towards him and agreed. "I do not want her to contact me ever again. she cannot just choose to get up and leave every time she wishes to you and if she can do that and so can I in this relationship. As if this relationship stands anywhere anymore." She muttered in the end.

"I totally understand where you are coming from." He kissed her forehead. "It is solely your decision and no one else can make that for you." He smiled on her making her feel content about it. "I am happy that you are standing up for yourself." He have her a proud smile.

She blushed under thise grey eyes. "Yes.. thank you." She looked away to the table and at her phone. It had stopped ringing.

"Anyway.." Angelo began once more but the phone started to ring again.

With a torn expression, she looked at the phone and took it in her hands.

"You can block her." He suggested. "That way, she won't be able to call you and disturb us." He twisted her chin up and kissed her lips.

She looked at him for a moment and then at her phone. Unlocking it she opened the contact and blocked it.

"It's Done." She locked the screen and looked at him. "We did it."

He shook and his head and replied back to her with a smile.. "No sweetie, you did what you wanted to."
