Chapter 0089 Some even started to dance with their partners as well ! You speak pretty words , Mr.<\/p>\n
Landry , I teased as he twirled me around again .<\/p>\n
This time he twirled me a bit faster , and I nearly lost my footing .<\/p>\n
I had to wrap an arm around his neck to keep myself steady and it only brought my body that much closer to his .<\/p>\n
My breath got caught in my throat when we wound up only inches from one another , our breaths intermingling with one another .<\/p>\n
I only speak the truth , Miss Montague , he replied , dipping me low again .<\/p>\n
When the song ended , we received some claps and I smiled , giving the audience a short wave .<\/p>\n
Walter chuckled and guided me away from everyone .<\/p>\n
We took a short walk , staring up at the sparkling stars and the bright moon that shined above us .<\/p>\n
Such a beautiful night , I said thoughtfully .<\/p>\n
It certainly is , he agreed .<\/p>\n
He wrapped an around me , pulling me into him .<\/p>\n
I gave him an awkward smile ; now that we werent around others and we were no longer dancing , the close proximity felt weird .<\/p>\n
Thank you for coming with me tonight .<\/p>\n
You have made tonight quite enjoyable , he told me sincerely .noveldrama<\/p>\n
I had a nice night as well , Walter , I told him .<\/p>\n
Thank you .<\/p>\n
We stopped walking and he turned to face me .<\/p>\n
You are very beautiful , he told me , brushing a strand of hair out of my face .<\/p>\n
Im sorry if I came off a little strong last night .<\/p>\n
My intention wasnt to scare you .<\/p>\n
I blushed at the memory ; he tried to kiss me , and I turned my head away from him , shielding the kiss .<\/p>\n
It wasnt that I was scared , I told him .<\/p>\n
I wasnt ready .<\/p>\n
He looked at me thoughtfully for a moment .<\/p>\n
Because of Ethan ? I was stunned by his words ; I wanted to step away , but he was holding me close to him .<\/p>\n
Im sorry , what ? I asked , my eyes wide and filled with alarm .<\/p>\n
I know about you two , he admitted .<\/p>\n
I had Maxwell look into it .<\/p>\n
You are mates .<\/p>\n
Why would you look into that ? I asked in a harsh whisper .<\/p>\n
Im sorry if I overstepped .<\/p>\n
But I could tell something was wrong , he told me quickly .<\/p>\n
I am not trying to upset you or hurt you , Judy .<\/p>\n
I just wanted to understand you .<\/p>\n
And you couldnt have just asked me ? I asked , feeling a bit betrayed .<\/p>\n
I did , and you lied to me , he reminded me , making my face heat again .<\/p>\n
You dont need to be afraid , Chapter 0089 Judy .<\/p>\n
I am here and I am not going to hurt you .<\/p>\n
What he did was awful , but it wasnt your fault .<\/p>\n
Walter , Irene cannot know \u2026 I know , he said gently .<\/p>\n
And she never will .<\/p>\n
I swallowed the lump in my throat ; I stared at him , trying to figure out if he was genuine or not .<\/p>\n
Once I decided , I gave him a nod .<\/p>\n
You are safe with me , Judy .<\/p>\n
I promise , he assured me .<\/p>\n
I felt that he was being truthful , so I relaxed into him a bit .<\/p>\n
He gave me a compassionate smile and leaned his head down , so he was only inches from me .<\/p>\n
I know you say you arent ready , but you are being here with me right now says something different , he told me .<\/p>\n
He ran his fingers down the side of my face , and I looked up at him .<\/p>\n
I want very much to kiss you .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
I nodded , giving him permission to kiss me .<\/p>\n
A smile tipped the corner of his lips as he bent down and pressed his lips tenderly against mine .<\/p>\n
Third Person POV Ethan and Irene arrived at the gallery ; after some convincing , Irene finally relented and went with Ethan .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
Get yourself something to eat, Ethan said , handing her his card .<\/p>\n
Ill be right back .<\/p>\n
She nodded and went towards the food cart , not bothering to argue with him .<\/p>\n
He walked around the gallery for a moment , trying to get a glimpse of Judy .<\/p>\n
He knew that she was here this evening , and he was determined to get her alone so they could talk .<\/p>\n
When he found her , his entire stomach twisted .<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
before he lost her entirely .<\/p>\n
He brought up his subordinate phone number and pressed the phone to his ear .<\/p>\n
Boss , his subordinate said on the other end .<\/p>\n
Its go time , he said darkly .<\/p>\n
I need you to do what we discussed earlier .<\/p>\n
There was silence on the other end and then a dark chuckle .<\/p>\n
Gladly .<\/p>\n
His subordinate had been waiting for this moment .<\/p>\n
