How could you agree to such a thing .<\/p>\n
I know its not the ideal situation but- Not the ideal situation ?! Dont raise your voice at me , Judy , my mother scolded , We need the money , and I am running out of options .<\/p>\n
If they are so keen on you selling our house for the money , then why not let us borrow money ? I thought you were going to ask them ! I exclaimed , shaking my head at the logic .<\/p>\n
It doesnt make any sense .<\/p>\n
I couldnt bring myself to ask them .<\/p>\n
Especially after Raymond explained how he made some risky investments and hes worried about the turnout , she explained , sighing .<\/p>\n
Plus , my pride wouldnt allow me to ask them for handouts .<\/p>\n
But you have no problems having me ask Ethan for handouts ? I countered , raising my brows .<\/p>\n
Thats different , she murmured .<\/p>\n
Hes your fated mate and you were supposed to marry him .<\/p>\n
Isnt Meredith your friend ? I asked her , giving her a pointed look .<\/p>\n
Why not ask her for money ? She bit her lower lip and stared down at the towel in her hands .<\/p>\n
I just cant bring myself to do it .<\/p>\n
This is the easiest solution , and Ill still have my pride .<\/p>\n
Living here wont be so bad .<\/p>\n
They were kind enough to open their doors to us and Im going to accept their offer .<\/p>\n
Is living here not damaging to your pride as well ? I asked her .<\/p>\n
She sighed and lifted her gaze to meet mine .<\/p>\n
Its different , she told me gently .<\/p>\n
Im sorry for upsetting you , Judy .<\/p>\n
But if you cant get the money from Ethan , then this is the next best solution .<\/p>\n
Im not sure what else to do , but after selling the house , we will be a little closer to helping your father .<\/p>\n
Thats all that matters to me right now .<\/p>\n
Tears filled my eyes before I could stop them ; I didnt want to cry here while I was in the Cash family manor .<\/p>\n
I didnt want to cry at all , but this couldnt be helped .<\/p>\n
I cant live here , Mom \u2026 I whispered .<\/p>\n
Oh , sweetie .<\/p>\n
If this is because of Ethan and Irene , they wont be living here .<\/p>\n
They will be living in the packhouse after Ethan becomes our Alpha .<\/p>\n
You wont have to see them every day , she assured me .<\/p>\n
Besides , once he marks and mates with Irene , your mate bond will officially be broken , and you wont have to endure the pain of the severed bond any longer .<\/p>\n
Thats not what this is about , I told her , shaking my head .<\/p>\n
His family doesnt like me .<\/p>\n
They will make my life a living hell .<\/p>\n
I was only here for a few minutes and his sister already spilled wine on me .<\/p>\n
She sighed .<\/p>\n
Chapter 0130 Im sure it was an accident .<\/p>\n
Kelsey is very sweet ; shes only a child , my mother tried to justify .<\/p>\n
Shes 18 , Mom .<\/p>\n
Shes an adult , I reminded her .<\/p>\n
Thats hardly an adult , she murmured .<\/p>\n
Im sure she didnt mean anything by it .<\/p>\n
She told me that Ethan deserved better than me , I whispered .<\/p>\n
That I wasnt good enough for her brother .<\/p>\n
Shes only being protective , my mother said .<\/p>\n
She cleaned off the hand towel before putting it away .<\/p>\n
She turned to me and put her hands on my shoulders .<\/p>\n
Ifted my tear filled gaze to meet hers and I could see the worry she had in her eyes .<\/p>\n
She was scared for our future , and I wasnt making things any easier for her .noveldrama<\/p>\n
I swallowed the lump in my throat and sniffled , wiping away the stray tears on my cheeks .<\/p>\n
Im sorry , I whispered .<\/p>\n
I dont mean to sound ungrateful .<\/p>\n
I know you are trying your best .<\/p>\n
She nodded and took a deep breath .<\/p>\n
I love you , Judy , she told me softly .<\/p>\n
Im sorry to spring this news on you so quickly .<\/p>\n
But if you dont think youll be able to live here , then maybe Nan will have an extra room for you ? Her words were like a punch in the gut ; so , it was either I live with the Cash family , or I had to find another place to go.<\/p>\n
My mother made her choice and like everyone else in my life \u2026.<\/p>\n
she wasnt choosing me .<\/p>\n
She was leaving , abandoning me ; just like Kelsey had said .<\/p>\n
Did she know about this ? Maybe that was why she brought up the fact that everyone in my life leaves me .<\/p>\n
I bit my lower lip , trying to will my tears to go away .<\/p>\n
I didnt want to cry any further , but I wasnt sure if I could hold them in either .<\/p>\n
How about we enjoy the rest of the barbeque , she said , lifting my chin so my eyes would meet hers .<\/p>\n
Oh , by the way , do you know Alpha Gavin Landry ? It seemed as if he knew you .<\/p>\n
I bit my lip and shook my head .<\/p>\n
I hated lying to her , but I couldnt tell her the truth .<\/p>\n
Not really , I told her .<\/p>\n
I work as a tutor in his pack , so I met him a few times .<\/p>\n
Nothing too serious though .<\/p>\n
I decided on the half truth .<\/p>\n
