Chapter 0220

Judy was about to learn that the hard way .

Everybody was staring at me in school .

I tried hard to keep a low profile , but it was difficult when literally everybody and their mother saw the news .

I was supposedly in a committed relationship with Gavin Landry , or so the article implied .

He texted me this morning and told me that he was going to take care of it and not worry , but I knew the damage had already been done .

Everybody saw it and everybody was talking about it .

I was so embarrassed .

It was also extremely inaccurate I wasnt in a relationship with Gavin Landry .

We were simply keeping things casual .

It was nothing more than sex .

But I knew it would make both me and Gavin look bad if I came clean to everybody , so I kept my mouth sealed shut .

Its not as bad as you think , Nan said , wrapping an arm through mine .

Honestly .

Youre going to be fine .

Theyll forget all about it soon enough .

I frowned at her , my stomach feeling unsettled .

How do you know ? I asked , wrapping my arms around my body .

This is a nightmare .

We were supposed to be lowkey .noveldrama

She shrugged and glanced around at everyone who was walking by ; they kept sparing curious glances at me and whispering to one another .

My cheeks burned with embarrassment .

Im sure something more interesting will happen soon enough and then they will forget all about you .

I let out a sigh .

I hope youre right , I breathed .

We went our separate ways , and I tried my best in each class , but it was hard when I felt like everyone was whispering about me behind my back .

The only thing I truly had to look forward to was seeing Gavin after school .

He will make things better no doubt ; I just had to hold onto that hope and trust him .

I waited outside the school for Leroy ; Nan had her after school study session and couldnt wait with me , so I stood outside the school grounds alone .

I glanced at the time with a frown ; it wasnt like him to be late .

Typically , he was here before I arrived , not the other way around .

I sat on one of the nearby benches and put my elbows on my knees .

My mind was whirling with the media ; I couldnt believe everybody was talking about my relationship with Gavin Landry .

Even my professors seemed extra curious today .

A familiar car stopped in the street in front of me and when I lifted my gaze , my entire body froze .

1 knew it wasnt Leroy , but my thoughts confirmed when the door opened , and the driver stepped were out of the car .

Tell me it isnt true , Ethan said as he rounded the car and approached me .

Ethan ? I asked , not believing my eyes .

I wasnt expecting him to just show up at my school like this .

We were in public , and any outburst could make him look bad , not to mention ruin any chance he has to Chapter 0220 marry Irene .

Hes already on thin ice with her .

What are you doing here ? I saw the news , Judy , he said , shaking his head as he stopped inches from me .

Tell me its not true .

Are you truly in a relationship with him ? I folded my arms across my chest and narrowed my eyes at him .

I dont see how its any of your concern whether its true or not , I told him simply .

He scowled at me , and I could see the pure anger on his face as his lip curled in disgust .

Because hes going to be my father in law ! He nearly hissed , spit flying from his mouth .

Dont you see how fucked up that is ! I cant believe you are having a relationship with him ! You left me for another woman , Ethan .

What I do isnt your business anymore , I told him , not willing to back down .

I dont know why you are here trying to harass me , but it needs to stop .

L I tried to walk around him , not sure where I was going to go with Leroy not here yet , but I knew I couldnt stay around Ethan any longer .

However , he wasnt going to back down without a fight .

He grabbed my arm with force , spinning me around to face him .

I wont let you go back to him , Judy , he said through his teeth .

You belong to me and Im not letting you go that easily .
