hapter 0228 Judys POV I took another sip of my wine , feeling it relax my mind and body .<\/p>\n
I kept glancing at my phone periodically , thinking there would be a missed call or anew message .<\/p>\n
But there wasnt .<\/p>\n
I hated the jab of disappointment I would feel in my chest every time I saw that there was no message .<\/p>\n
I shouldnt be feeling this way .<\/p>\n
Gavin was with his family \u2026 Its not like he was losing interest in me or anything Besides , even if he was , it shouldnt matter that much .noveldrama<\/p>\n
We are only having some fun \u2026.<\/p>\n
scratching each others itches and putting on a show to get some people off our backs .<\/p>\n
Yet , my chest tightened every time I glanced at my phone .<\/p>\n
I took a deep breath and put my phone on the table , unable to look at it any further .<\/p>\n
I glanced at Nans lightly sipped wine and frowned when I glanced over my shoulder at the entryway to the kitchen .<\/p>\n
I wondered where she was .<\/p>\n
I knew she was going to find out what Chester was cooking , but she had been gone for some time now .<\/p>\n
I figured I should go check on her .<\/p>\n
I hoped she didnt get lost on the way to the kitchen .<\/p>\n
I took another sip of the wine before placing it on the table and standing to my feet .<\/p>\n
I brushed my pants , straightening them with the palms of my hands before I started towards the kitchen .<\/p>\n
off The door of the kitchen was propped open slightly and I could see the back of Nans figure standing in the entryway .<\/p>\n
I smiled as I made my way towards her , but slowly started to subside when I saw how tense she was .<\/p>\n
Her entire body was like a stiff board .<\/p>\n
Frowning , I walked towards her .<\/p>\n
Nan , are you okay ? I asked .<\/p>\n
I paused when I reached her , and I could see over her shoulder that she was staring at Chester and Harper .<\/p>\n
Harper was seated on the kitchen counter , her legs wrapped around Chesters waist and her arms around his neck .<\/p>\n
Chesters arms were loosely draped around Harpers thin waist , and she was pressing herself firmly against his body .<\/p>\n
Her tongue was practically down his throat ; it was strange because he seemed a bit detached from the kiss , but she was going in hard .<\/p>\n
I wasnt surprised to see them like this ; if I were to be honest , it wasnt the first time I had walked in on them .<\/p>\n
Though , it was the first time that its ever happened out in the open before \u2026 it wasnt like them to lose control like this in the kitchen .<\/p>\n
Harper was very professional and kept her personal life a secret .<\/p>\n
They were alone right now so Im assuming Chester sent the rest of his staff away , however anyone could still walk right in on them ..<\/p>\n
including Nan who was frozen in her spot .<\/p>\n
She was probably not expecting to see the chef wrapped up in the arms of the maid .<\/p>\n
I bit my lower lip , trying to keep myself from laughing out loud as I placed a hand on her shoulder , trying to draw her attention back to me .<\/p>\n
Her body tensed even more if that was possible .<\/p>\n
I didnt bother looking at her face as I turned my attention to Harper and Chester , both oblivious to the fact that we were standing at the entryway .<\/p>\n
That is until I cleared my throat loudly , making them both jump apart as if they had been burned .<\/p>\n
Harper nearly fell off the counter at the quick motion and Chesters face was burning red when he turned to look at me .<\/p>\n
But then the red in his cheeks immediately went away and his face turned a ghostly shade of white when 1\/2 Chapter 0220 he looked at Nan .<\/p>\n
His eyes grew wide , and I could see the horror in them .<\/p>\n
Nan took a step back , her body trembling slightly .<\/p>\n
My frown deepened even more as looked at my best friend ; I realized she was pale as well .<\/p>\n
I looked at Chester who was completely frozen in his place , neither of them saying a single word .<\/p>\n
Nan ? I asked her , tugging at her arm and trying to get her attention .<\/p>\n
A \u2026 are you okay ? Chester ? Harper asked, trying to touch him with her foot , but he stepped further away from her as if he couldnt stand her touch .<\/p>\n
Nan let out a shaky breath and then she finally tore her eyes away from Chester to look at me .<\/p>\n
My brows furrowed when I saw the tears in her pretty blue eyes ; my chest tightened .<\/p>\n
She looked gutted \u2026 something was wrong with my best friend , and I needed to know what it was .<\/p>\n
