They arent good people \u2026 Well , I just dont believe that , she said , shaking her head .<\/p>\n
I sighed ; there was no point in arguing with her .<\/p>\n
I knew I wouldnt be able to change her mind .<\/p>\n
After a while , I gave up on the conversation and made my mother and me some lunch before we got dressed for the barbeque .<\/p>\n
I settled on a skirt and a blouse .<\/p>\n
It was a designer skirt , so hopefully they wont comment on my clothes .<\/p>\n
I braided my hair and applied some makeup to make my features pop .<\/p>\n
By the time I was finished dressing for the event , it was time to leave .<\/p>\n
My mother drove us in her car , and it didnt take long to get to the Cash family manor .<\/p>\n
It was huge and there were a couple of guest houses off to the side .<\/p>\n
If they truly wanted to , they could easily pay off my fathers debt and make things okay again for my family .<\/p>\n
But they were greedy and would never help us without there being a secret motive behind it .<\/p>\n
I just hoped my mother was careful with whatever she agreed to .<\/p>\n
My mother walked through the manor as if she owned the place ; she had her head held high and I admired that .<\/p>\n
She didnt look as if she spent a month in bed ; she looked as if nothing was wrong .<\/p>\n
She wore one of her designer dresses and her hair was tied in a neat pony , flowing evenly down her back .<\/p>\n
She wore heels that made her legs look great and makeup that made her look professional and dashing .<\/p>\n
We reached the back patio where the barbeque was happening ; the Cash family had a huge yard with an attached garden which I knew Ethans mother loved, and a pool yard , where his sister , Kelsey , usually hung out .<\/p>\n
They usually invite most of the pack to their annual barbeque so they can see how well off they live .<\/p>\n
They also invite the riches from other packs as well , including Gavin apparently .<\/p>\n
Part of me hoped that hed show up \u2026 but another part hoped that he didnt .<\/p>\n
It would be weird for him to suddenly make an appearance , especially now that his daughter is marrying into the family .<\/p>\n
Irene would have felt as if he was following her or watching her .<\/p>\n
This was her first time meeting Ethans family and truthfully , I wanted it to go well for her .noveldrama<\/p>\n
I didnt want them to treat her like they treated me .<\/p>\n
Judy ! You made it ! I heard the familiar voice of Irene as she rushed over to me .<\/p>\n
I saw the large smile spread across her face , and she quickly wrapped her arms around me to hug me before stepping back .<\/p>\n
You look lovely .<\/p>\n
You look great too , I told her , hating how true that was .<\/p>\n
Irene did look stunning in her black backless dress that showed off her cleavage perfectly and her long flowing blond hair cascading around her shoulders and down her back .<\/p>\n
She didnt need to wear a lot of makeup to make her features pop , and her smile was brighter than the sun .<\/p>\n
My stomach twisted and through my minds eye , I could see my wolf lowering her head .<\/p>\n
This was the woman our mate left us for ; through my haste with Gavin , I almost forgot about that fact .<\/p>\n
I shouldnt let it bother me , but in a way , it still kind of hurts .<\/p>\n
Whenever they are kissing or remotely intimate , the mark on my neck burns and itll keep me awake at night .<\/p>\n
I couldnt imagine what itll feel like once they officially have sex .<\/p>\n
Ive been here for a couple of hours , and Ive gotten to know his family , she told me , looping her arm through mine and walking me towards the crowd of people .<\/p>\n
My mother had already disappeared , and I 1\/2 Chapter 0133 could see Ethan speaking with a group of men , including his father .<\/p>\n
What do you think of them ? I asked , bracing for her to tell me how awful they were .<\/p>\n
Oh , they were so wonderful .<\/p>\n
I cant imagine them being mean to anyone honestly .<\/p>\n
Especially his sister , she breathed lovingly .<\/p>\n
I cant wait to marry into this family .<\/p>\n
I frowned .<\/p>\n
Kelsey was Ethans 18 year old sister , and she was worse than them all .<\/p>\n
I was glad they didnt treat Irene badly , probably because she was a Landry , but it still hurt knowing she fit in better than I ever did .<\/p>\n
I bit the inside of my cheek , though , and chose not to say anything in response .<\/p>\n
Well look what the wet dog dragged in , a crude voice sald from nearby .<\/p>\n
You have a lot of nerve showing your face here .<\/p>\n
