Chapter 0193 Yes , I whispered hoarsely .<\/p>\n
Good luck and remember , take a deep breath and dont jump to conclusions .<\/p>\n
Let him explain first before you go off .<\/p>\n
Update me on everything tomorrow I will , I assured her and then I hung up the phone .noveldrama<\/p>\n
I put the phone on the nightstand and plugged it into the charger before turning to look at him .<\/p>\n
He still remained at the doorway , studying me with a frown .<\/p>\n
Irene said you were unwell , he told me .<\/p>\n
You were fine this morning ! I nodded and wiped my checks again , hoping he didnt notice how blotchy my face was and the tears that were still in my eyes .<\/p>\n
I hated how weak I was in front of him , but I couldnt help myself .<\/p>\n
Yeah , I was just a little under the weather , I lied .<\/p>\n
I think I might have eaten something bad .<\/p>\n
Was it whatever Chester made you ? He asked through his teeth .<\/p>\n
Ill fire him and- No ! I said quickly .<\/p>\n
Dont fire him ; he didnt do anything .<\/p>\n
It was something I ate at school .<\/p>\n
Nothing more .<\/p>\n
He looked almost disappointed ; I knew he kind of wanted to fire Chester because he rubbed Gavin the wrong way , but I wasnt going to let him .<\/p>\n
I liked Chester ; he was funny , and he made being here less lonely .<\/p>\n
Between him and Harper , I felt like I belonged around here .<\/p>\n
At least I did until I spotted Skyla and Gavin together .<\/p>\n
That sick feeling returned to my belly and stared down at my lap , willing my tears away before they slipped down my cheeks .<\/p>\n
How was your date ? I murmured , unable to hide the bitterness in my tone .<\/p>\n
It wasnt a date , he said immediately .<\/p>\n
It was a casual dinner .<\/p>\n
Chanse thought it would be good if I took her to dinner and- his voice trailed off .<\/p>\n
Wait , didnt say anything about it in the text .<\/p>\n
How did you know ? 1 bit my lip as my cheeks burned with embarrassment had nothing to be embarrassed about though ; I didnt ask Irene to send me a photo of Gavin and Skyla leaving .<\/p>\n
She captioned it , My father going on his first real date in years ! Dont they look beautiful together ? I felt sick to my stomach , and I have been crying ever since .<\/p>\n
I hated the effect it had on me , but I couldnt help myself .<\/p>\n
They did look great together ; Skyla in her shimmering red dress , pressed herself up against Gavin who was dressed in a nice suit .<\/p>\n
He was dressed in something more casual now and I wondered if Skyla helped him take off his suit .<\/p>\n
Irene sent me a picture , I admitted .<\/p>\n
She wanted me to see how lovely the two of you ! were together .<\/p>\n
I looked up at him and saw that his eyes were dark with rage .<\/p>\n
I shuddered at the sight of him and swallowed the lump in my throat .<\/p>\n
Ill have a conversation with her about that , he muttered .<\/p>\n
But it wasnt a date .<\/p>\n
I nodded , wanting to believe him .<\/p>\n
1\/2 Chapter oras He stepped closer to the bed .<\/p>\n
Are you still feeling sick ? He asked .<\/p>\n
I nodded ; I was feeling sick , but not because I ate something bad .<\/p>\n
Ill get you some tea then , he said ; before I could protest , he was already out of the room .<\/p>\n
I sighed and leaned my head against my pillow , feeling frustrated and hurt all at the same time .<\/p>\n
Gavin returned a little later with a mug of tea , made exactly how I liked it .<\/p>\n
I was surprised that he remembered such details about me .<\/p>\n
I thanked him and sipped the tea silently , with him watching me .<\/p>\n
We didnt talk for the rest of the night ; I wasnt even expecting him to stay the night .<\/p>\n
But he did .<\/p>\n
He slept beside me as if it was the most normal thing in the world .<\/p>\n
When I woke the next morning , the bed was empty , but I heard the shower on in the bathroom and I let out a breath I hadnt known I was holding .<\/p>\n
He was still there , and he was taking a shower I started to feel a bit lighter knowing that he came to me right after his date and spent the night with me under the impression that I was sick .<\/p>\n
He made me tea and was tentative about my needs last night ; he didnt try to have sex with me or anything .<\/p>\n
Maybe he did care about me after all .<\/p>\n
I grabbed my phone , and I saw that Nan had called me and she sent me a text as well .<\/p>\n
I frowned , wondering what was so urgent that she needed to get a hold of me so early this morning , I opened the text and saw her message , my heart weighing heavily in my chest .<\/p>\n
Nan : Whatever you do , dont open the internet today ! Please !! There was a sinking feeling in my chest , and I knew I had to find out what she was talking about .<\/p>\n
I immediately went to the internet and the news headline was large and in front of my face , making that sick feeling in my stomach return .<\/p>\n
Skyla Sinclare Spotted with New Boyfriend , Gavin Landry ! Tears filled my eyes and started to spill down my cheeks before I could stop them .<\/p>\n
I pressed the caption and let it take me to the article \u2026 and that was when I saw the photo \u2026 It was Gavin and Skyla , and they were kissing !<\/p>\n
