Chapter 0199
Irene gawked at him ; she suspected as much , but hearing Ethan confirm it was mind boggling .
What ? She asked in a breathy whisper .
Shes using my father to get pet to v you ? Yes , of course she is , he said , rolling his eyes .
Why else would she be hanging around him like this ? Its pathetic if you ask me .
Shes flirted with me so much since she started working here and I keep telling her that Im not interested .
Shes not the person you thought she was , Irene .
You should be careful around her .
Irene knew this , but hearing it was different .
Anger coursed through her ; she started to hate Judy just a little more and now her poor Ethan was a victim to her Ethan closed the gap between them , seeing this as his opportunity to comfort her .
He wrapped her in his arms and kept her close to his body .
His wolf wasnt exactly happy about this … but he needed to comfort Irene if he wanted his plans to work out .
I love yo you , Ethan murmured , kissing the top of her head .
Im so sorry that you got hurt .
But I promise , Im not hiding anything more from you .
15 Irene nodded against his chest and let out a breath of relief .
She felt better after this talk , she now knew who her friends were and who were her enemies and Judy was no friend .
Judys POV Gavin pressed the warm cloth to my nose , wiping away the excess blood on my face .
We hadnt spoken since Irene and Ethan went upstairs .
I was hoping that she would have told Ethan to get lost and not take him back .
But that didnt seem to be the case ; the moment she took his hand , I knew she was going to forgive him .
I was honestly surprised Gavin was even allowing that to happen ; he knew what scum Ethan was .
Yet , hes still letting his daughter marry him .
Were you the one who told her ? Gavin asked , breaking the silence between us .
I looked up at him , surprised by the question .
No , of course not , I told him .
I wouldnt do that .
I wouldnt want to hurt her like that .
Then , how did she find out ? Gavin asked , his tone accusatory .
I frowned at him .
I dont know , I said slowly .
I have no idea how she found out , but it wasnt from me .
He studied my face for a moment before nodding and returning his attention to the blood on my face .
You shouldnt have fought with her .
1 narrowed my eyes at her , shocked by his words .
She threw the first punch , I told him .
I barely fought back .
You know I could have- You should have walked away before it got to that point .
His words were like a slap in the face , and I wasnt sure what to say in response .
We both remained silent for a while and once he finished wiping the blood on my face , he leaned back and studied me even more .
to I think until the filming is finished , you shouldnt come villa , he told me .
Ill send Matt to you at the mansion .
I raised my brows .
You arent worried about Matt finding out that Im living here ? I asked him .
He shook his head .
Matts only been there a few times himself , Gavin admitted .
If he asks any questions , we can just tell him that you needed a place to stay , and I offered the mansion .noveldrama
Theres nothing more to it than that , right ? I bit my lip , feeling hurt , but I nodded .
Right , I murmured .
And I think its best if you stayed away from Irene .
At least until things cool down , he murmured .
He didnt have to tell me twice ; Irene made it perfectly clear where I stood with her .
As much as it hurt to lose a friend , it was probably better if I didnt hang out with my exs fiancé anyway .
I nodded again , hating how red my face was getting .
You should go , he concluded as he stood to his feet .
I wont be there tonight , but Ill try to swing by tomorrow .
Its okay , I said softly .
I get it .
He didnt reply , but I could feel his eyes on me .
C … can you tell Irene that Im sorry ? I asked him , peeking up at him through his lashes .
His jaw clenched and unclenched , and he nodded .
Sure , he said .
I gave him a faint smile , but I turned and left , unable to spare him another look .
