Dont be rude to Ethans family .<\/p>\n
Im not the one being rude , he said through his teeth .<\/p>\n
It was a misunderstanding , Sophia went on to say , her words coming out hoarse .<\/p>\n
We didnt know who you were .<\/p>\n
And that makes it okay ? Gavin asked , raising his brows .<\/p>\n
Do you call every gentleman that walks through the door a call boy ? Or just me ? Irene sucked in a sharp breath as she glanced at Sophia and then at Ethans mother who was bowing her head , her entire body trembling .<\/p>\n
Kelsey looked as if she was about to get sick .<\/p>\n
Im glad I came here when I did because who knows how much worse things could have gotten , said , his lip curling in disgust .<\/p>\n
Gavin It was a mistake , Alpha .<\/p>\n
We didnt recognize you , Sopha tried to explain .<\/p>\n
Please , dont take any of what we said the wrong way .noveldrama<\/p>\n
How could I not- 10 Daddy , please ! Irene said , her eyes pleading with her father to drop the issue .<\/p>\n
Not here \u2026 please , dont make a scene \u2026 I hadnt realized that there were now bystanders watching everything happen , and my cheeks burned with embarrassment .<\/p>\n
My mothers eyes were wide as she stared at me , and I could hardly look her in the eyes .<\/p>\n
Gavin looked as if he was about to say something , but then he decided against it .<\/p>\n
He cleared his throat and straightened .<\/p>\n
Ill be taking my leave then , he murmured .<\/p>\n
Alpha , you are more than welcome to stay , Meredith tried to say , but was interrupted by a male voice who simultaneously said , Alpha Landry , its a pleasure for you to be here \u2026 what seems to be the issue ? I turned to see Ethans father , Raymond , walking toward us with a frown on his lips .<\/p>\n
He was a nobleman and a good friend of my fathers .<\/p>\n
At least he appears to be a good friend ; I thought Meredith and Sophia were friends of my mothers until they spoke cruelly about her earlier .<\/p>\n
Now , Im not entirely sure if Raymond was the same as them as well , but he recognized Gavin immediately and came over to defuse the situation .<\/p>\n
Raymond , Gavin greeted , his tone icy .<\/p>\n
I was just leaving .<\/p>\n
But Alpha , you just got here .<\/p>\n
Why not stay ? The food is almost ready ; let the bartender fix you a drink , Raymond said , stopping beside his wife who suddenly looked incredibly small and vulnerable .<\/p>\n
It seems Im not very welcome here , Gavin said , his eyes flickering to Meredith .<\/p>\n
Raymonds eyes darkened as he glared at his wife .<\/p>\n
What exactly happened ? He asked , his aura darkening What had you done ? 1\/3 Chapter 0137 443 Please , Daddy .<\/p>\n
Just let it go .<\/p>\n
They didnt mean any harm \u2026 Irene pleaded .<\/p>\n
Whatever my wife had said to you , Im sure it can be cleared up , Raymond said , his eyes still pouring into Merediths face .<\/p>\n
I apologize for any rudeness .<\/p>\n
Please stay for a little while and get some food .<\/p>\n
Its okay \u2026 I whispered for Gavins ears only .<\/p>\n
You can stay .<\/p>\n
He turned to look at me , his eyes narrowed , but they softened when he looked into my eyes .<\/p>\n
I want to take you home , he told me softly .<\/p>\n
Ill stay for a bit , I assured him .<\/p>\n
Im just going to clean up .<\/p>\n
He looked at me for a moment longer before nodding .<\/p>\n
didnt miss the looks that Meredith and Kelsey exchanged with one another , hearing some of the dialogue between us .<\/p>\n
Ill help you clean up , my mother said , draping an arm through mine .<\/p>\n
I hadnt even noticed she was nearby until she spoke , but I was relieved by her presence .<\/p>\n
I nodded and turned back to Gavin .<\/p>\n
Ill see you later , Alpha , I told him , a bit louder for those around us to hear .<\/p>\n
He gave me a curt nod before turning back to Raymond .<\/p>\n
Their conversation was drowned out as we headed into the Cash family manor and towards the bathroom .<\/p>\n
How could you make a scene like that ? my mother asked once we reached the bathroom .<\/p>\n
I wasnt the one making the scene , I murmured .<\/p>\n
She sighed as she grabbed a hand towel and wet it with some warm water .<\/p>\n
Look , I need you to know something , and I dont want you to freak out .<\/p>\n
I frowned , worry bubbling in my belly .<\/p>\n
Okay ? I urged her to continue .<\/p>\n
I spoke to Ethans parents earlier .<\/p>\n
Raymond went over details on how much I could get for the house , she explained ; my heart sank .<\/p>\n
Our house ? I asked her .<\/p>\n
She nodded .<\/p>\n
I could get a lot of money that could pay off a lot of the debt your father owes , she told me .<\/p>\n
It wont be enough to get him out of prison \u2026 but its something .<\/p>\n
If you are going to sell the house , then where exactly are we going to live ? I asked her .<\/p>\n
She was quiet for a moment as she attempted to clean the wine stain from my blouse while I wiped my face with another hand towel .<\/p>\n
Mom ? I asked after she hadnt answered .<\/p>\n
2 : 3 Chapter 0137 She sighed and looked up at me , her eyes soft and apologetic .<\/p>\n
Meredith and Raymond offered us their guest room , she told me gently .<\/p>\n
What are you saying ? I asked , my entire body feeling paralyzed .<\/p>\n
Im saying \u2026 we would be living here ; with the Cash family .<\/p>\n
