Chapter 0089
Some even started to dance with their partners as well ! You speak pretty words , Mr.
Landry , I teased as he twirled me around again .
This time he twirled me a bit faster , and I nearly lost my footing .
I had to wrap an arm around his neck to keep myself steady and it only brought my body that much closer to his .
My breath got caught in my throat when we wound up only inches from one another , our breaths intermingling with one another .
I only speak the truth , Miss Montague , he replied , dipping me low again .
When the song ended , we received some claps and I smiled , giving the audience a short wave .
Walter chuckled and guided me away from everyone .
We took a short walk , staring up at the sparkling stars and the bright moon that shined above us .
Such a beautiful night , I said thoughtfully .
It certainly is , he agreed .
He wrapped an around me , pulling me into him .
I gave him an awkward smile ; now that we werent around others and we were no longer dancing , the close proximity felt weird .
Thank you for coming with me tonight .
You have made tonight quite enjoyable , he told me sincerely .
I had a nice night as well , Walter , I told him .
e stopped walking and he turned to face me .
You are very beautiful , he told me , brushing a strand of hair out of my face .
Im sorry if I came off a little strong last night .
My intention wasnt to scare you .
I blushed at the memory ; he tried to kiss me , and I turned my head away from him , shielding the kiss .
It wasnt that I was scared , I told him .
I wasnt ready .
He looked at me thoughtfully for a moment .
Because of Ethan ? I was stunned by his words ; I wanted to step away , but he was holding me close to him .
Im sorry , what ? I asked , my eyes wide and filled with alarm .
I know about you two , he admitted .
I had Maxwell look into it .
You are mates .
Why would you look into that ? I asked in a harsh whisper .
Im sorry if I overstepped .
But I could tell something was wrong , he told me quickly .
I am not trying to upset you or hurt you , Judy .
I just wanted to understand you .
And you couldnt have just asked me ? I asked , feeling a bit betrayed .
I did , and you lied to me , he reminded me , making my face heat again .
You dont need to be afraid , Chapter 0089 Judy .
I am here and I am not going to hurt you .
What he did was awful , but it wasnt your fault .
Walter , Irene cannot know … I know , he said gently .
And she never will .
I swallowed the lump in my throat ; I stared at him , trying to figure out if he was genuine or not .
Once I decided , I gave him a nod .
You are safe with me , Judy .
I promise , he assured me .
I felt that he was being truthful , so I relaxed into him a bit .
He gave me a compassionate smile and leaned his head down , so he was only inches from me .
I know you say you arent ready , but you are being here with me right now says something different , he told me .
He ran his fingers down the side of my face , and I lookedup at him .
want very much to kiss you .
I bit my lower lip and stared into his eyes ; he was looking at my mouth with a hungry expression and my chest tightened slightly .
I nodded , giving him permission to kiss me .
A smile tipped the corner of his lips as he bent down and pressed his lips tenderly against mine .
Third Person POV Ethan and Irene arrived at the gallery ; after some convincing , Irene finally relented and went with Ethan .
She wasnt really in the mood to go anywhere this evening , but he insisted that they needed a date night and a better place than the Silver Crescent Light Gallery .
Get yourself something to eat, Ethan said , handing her his card .
Ill be right back .
She nodded and went towards the food cart , not bothering to argue with him .
He walked around the gallery for a moment , trying to get a glimpse of Judy .
He knew that she was here this evening , and he was determined to get her alone so they could talk .
When he found her , his entire stomach twisted .
She was alone with Walter , and they were kissing ! He reached into his pocket and grabbed his phone , knowing he had to begin the next phase of his plan.
before he lost her entirely .
He brought up his subordinate phone number and pressed the phone to his ear .
Boss , his subordinate said on the other end .
Its go time , he said darkly .
I need you to do what we discussed earlier .noveldrama
There was silence on the other end and then a dark chuckle .
Gladly .
His subordinate had been waiting for this moment .
