Chapter 0211
Third Person POV Ethan had been trying to act more tentative towards trene since he almost lost her a couple of times .
Now that Judy was back in the villa and tutoring Matt , hes been able to keep a close eye on her .
He still had every reason to make her his mistress despite planning to marry Irene , but he needed to play things carefully going forward so Irene wouldnt suspect anything .
So , hes been watching her from afar and trying to keep her at a distance .
However , Irene has been acting strangely and Ethan couldnt figure out why .
She seemed jumpler like at any moment someone was going to come out from the corner and get her .
Whatever that meant .
She had been avoiding Matt more than usual and she also had been avoiding Judy like the plague .
Ethan understood why she had been avoiding Judy ; ever since she found out that Judy was his actual fated mate , she had been skeptical of his relationship with her , despite him dodging a bullet and blaming the entire thing on Judy .
He told her that Judy was still after him and was only in the villa , working as Matts tutor , so she could get close to him .
It was a complete lie , but if Irene knew the truth , she would leave him , no doubt .
Since Irene found out that Ethan and Judy were fated mates , she hadnt been wanting to touch him .
At least not intimately , they havent had sex yet because he wanted to wait until after marriage , but they had kissed many times before .
Theyve even had some heated make out sessions ; its been almost a week since finding out Ethans secret and now Irene wont touch him .
He knew she was still upset about being lied to , despite the fact that he convinced her it was mainly Judys fault .
The villa had been busy lately with the film crew crowding around and filming that movie .
Irene had been hanging around the villa trying to get on Skylas good side and Ethan had been trying his best to support his fiancé .
He knew that she was trying to set her father up with Skyla for whatever reason , but he wasnt exactly sure why .
Sure , Skyla was gorgeous , and it would be kind of cool to have her as a stepmother , but Irene seemed almost obsessed with the idea .noveldrama
Ethan had also noticed that Irenes father hadnt been around the villa as much and he wondered if it had to do with the fact that Skyla was all over him .
Where has your father been ? Ethan asked Irene during their meal .
He wanted to take Irene out to the dinner to show her that he did in fact love her , even if he truly didnt .
She glanced up at him with a small frown on her lips .
What do you mean ? He hasnt really spent a lot of time at the villa .
Only a little bit when the film crew needs him , he pointed out .
Do you know where hes been spending his time ? She shook her head and then shrugged .
Probably his office , she replied .
Hes a very busy man being a Lycan chairman and all .
Ethan nodded , except he went by Gavins office earlier this evening in hopes of speaking to him about business in the Redmoon pack and his secretary said he hasnt been in the office for the last couple of days due to the film crew .
So , if he wasnt in his office and he wasnt in the villa , then where had he gone ? 12 Chapter 0211 Are you sure theres nowhere else he would have gone ? Ethan asked , eyeing Irene carefully .
She thought about it for a moment and then realization dawned on him .
Oh , he said he had some business in the north , she replied simply .
We have another mansion there .
Its never used but my father will stay there when he has business in that area .
Ethan nodded thoughtfully ; he made a mental note to look into that mansion later .
Maybe he could stop by and find Gavin there himself .
He knew it was probably a bad idea to intrude on Alpha Gavins home , but he was curious as to what this business was and if Ethan could do anything to help him .
His ultimate plan was to suck up to him after all .
After dinner , Ethan dropped Irene off at home and told her that he would see her tomorrow .
She nodded and kissed his cheek .
Thank you for dinner , she said thoughtfully .
There was a bit of sadness and worry in her eyes that Ethan picked up on right away .
He wrapped her in his arms and kissed her deeply .
She melted into the kiss and her body seemed to have relaxed slightly just before he pulled away .
