Chapter 0117
Judys POV
You know your father and I have a long history , Dalsy sald , giving an awkward chuckle .
Irene nodded thoughtfully .
Yes , his fated mate , my mother , was your sister , Irene replied .
Unfortunately , my father isnt on the market for dating at the moment .
Daisy pressed her red lips in a thin line as she narrowed her eyes at Irene .
Even she knew she had to be careful about what she said in the presence of Gavins daughter.
We are only friends , of course , Daisy said through her tight lipped smile .
Dont overthink things .noveldrama
She glanced in my direction and sized me up for a moment and then she curled her lip in disgust again .
That dress is too tacky for me .
Ill find something else , she muttered .
She spun on her heel and walked away .
I let out a breath I hadnt known I was holding .
The fake smile Irene was sporting dropped immediately and then she turned to me .
I hate that bitch , she muttered .
I was surprised by this , but I relaxed immediately after hearing Irenes words and then I let out a soft chuckle .
Irene gave me a gentle smile and nudged me towards the changing room .
Get changed and we can grab some lunch before we head back .
I know you have tutoring this evening Sounds good , I told her .
As much as I loved the dress , it was nice wearing my normal clothes again .
Stacy was quick to take the dress and package it for me .
Irene found a gorgeous dress for herself as well and Irene packaged that for her .
We reached the counter , and Stacy rang up the dresses .
For Judy , the dress is 3 million dollars and for Irene , the dress is 1 million , Stacy said , lifting her gaze .
My mouth dropped open .
That was so much money .
I wasnt expecting a simple dress to cost that much .
Without even blinking , Irene grabbed a black card and handed it to Stacy .
You can charge t dresses to this card , Irene said as she pulled out her phone to check her messages .
I stared at her dumbfounded at how casual she was to be spending that much money .
Stacy looked delighted as she charged the card .
Once it went through , she printed the receipt and handed the receipt and card to Irene .
She carefully handed us each a box which Taylor and Gamma Derek took from us to help out .
They were so well hidden in the shadows and kept to themselves that I completely forgot that they were even there .
I smiled my thanks to Taylor as he took my box , and he nodded in acknowledgment .
We left the store , thankfully without any more run ins with Daisy , and we grabbed lunch .
This time , we invited the Gammas and Beta Taylor to join us , not wanting to be alone even for a second .
Once we finished with lunch , we went to the Villa so I could tutor Matt .
Mind if I steal you away for a minute ? Walter asked during the shooting portion of the tutoring session .
Matt was busy practicing his aim and was barely paying attention to us , so I nodded .
Walter took hold of my arm and wrapped it through mine .
We walked together , arm in arm , for a short while before he finally stopped to turn to me .
So , Im not sure if you heard , but the mascaraed Galas this weekend , he started in a rush .
My cheeks blushed and I nodded as I bit my lip .
I just got a couple tickets to the event , he continued .
And I was wondering if youd be my date ? I had a strange instinct to decline his offer , but I just got a 3 million dollar dress , so I couldnt .
I would love to , I told him .
It sounds like fun .
He relaxed his shoulders and let out a breath of relief .
Great , Ill pick you up at 8 on Saturday night , he told me and then he bent to kiss my cheek softly .
I nodded .
I will see you then , I told him .
I watched him as he hurried away and noticed that he had an extra pep in his step .
I just hoped that 1 wasnt going to be the one to take that away .
Third Person POV Saturday came quickly and Irene spent most of the day preparing for the Gala .
She was excited to be able to show off her glamorous dress and her gorgeous fiancé on her arm .
Ethan told her that he would pick her up this evening around 8 pm and then they would meet up with Walter and Judy .
They were planning on sharing a limo for the event tonight and she was beyond thrilled about it .
Her father was also attending the Gala , but he wasnt going to accompany them .
He was getting there by himself , without a date .
Irene had told him that he should find somebody to take , but he refused .
Truth be told , she didnt want him to be single at the Gala knowing that Daisy was also going to be there single , in hopes of capturing Gavins attention .
She didnt want her father and her mothers sister to get together .
The thought irritated her , she really couldnt stand her Aunt Daisy , and she wanted her away from her family .
