Chapter 0265 He had been faithful to Irene for weeks , but from the look on her face , he knew that she was suspecting something .<\/p>\n
It had to have been Scarlett who showed up at his house unannounced .<\/p>\n
No others would have done that ; no others knew where he lived .<\/p>\n
It was only her .<\/p>\n
Did she say something to you ? Ethan asked , his voice feeling heavy as he spoke .<\/p>\n
She shook her head and tucked a long strand of blonde hair behind her ear .<\/p>\n
No , but she looked upset .<\/p>\n
Like shes been crying , she replied .<\/p>\n
Ethan let out a breath , hoping that Irene didnt see the relief in his eyes .<\/p>\n
As long as Scarlett hadnt said anything to her , then he could fix this .<\/p>\n
Maybe it was the wrong house , I wasnt expecting anyone yesterday , he told her , his confidence coming back .<\/p>\n
She stared at him for a moment , her eyes narrowed , and he lips pressed in a thin line .<\/p>\n
Are you sure about that ? She asked .<\/p>\n
Because she had a striking resemblance to Judy .<\/p>\n
Ethan froze as he looked at Irene ; what had she figured out ? What are you saying ? Ethan asked defensively .<\/p>\n
Im saying its not a coincidence \u2026 Judy has a very basic look , he murmured , shaking his head .<\/p>\n
I can pick out about 5 girls that look just like her .<\/p>\n
Shes not that special .<\/p>\n
Why was she at your house , Ethan ? Please , tell me the truth , Irene said , stepping closer to him .<\/p>\n
He saw tears filling her eyes and for a moment , he actually felt bad .<\/p>\n
Maybe he would have told her the truth under different circumstances , but now he knew that he couldnt .<\/p>\n
He had too much on the line and he needed to play his part a good little spy that he was .<\/p>\n
like I dont know , he said , putting his hands on her shoulders , hoping to be soothing .<\/p>\n
Im sorry I havent been around lately .<\/p>\n
Ive been so busy with pack business .<\/p>\n
I have barely been home these last few weeks .<\/p>\n
If anyone were to stop by my house , then I wouldnt have known .<\/p>\n
You know my family is pretty much running the pack until a new Alpha is appointed .<\/p>\n
We are the Beta family .<\/p>\n
She could have been trying to ask for a favor .<\/p>\n
Other than that , I dont know why she would come over .<\/p>\n
I didnt ask anyone to stop by .noveldrama<\/p>\n
Irene stared at him for a long while like she was trying to figure out if he was telling the truth or not .<\/p>\n
She nibbled on her lower lip .<\/p>\n
I just have this nasty feeling \u2026 shou Ethan pressed his lips to her forehead .<\/p>\n
tears dripping down her flushed cheeks .<\/p>\n
I promise , Irene .<\/p>\n
Im not cheating on you .<\/p>\n
Nothing is going on .<\/p>\n
You know I love you .<\/p>\n
I wouldnt have proposed to you if I didnt , he assured her .<\/p>\n
After a moment , she nodded .<\/p>\n
Okay , she whispered .<\/p>\n
He smiled and kissed her , and she let him kiss her .<\/p>\n
Should we go to your room ? I hear your father isnt home he asked , winking .<\/p>\n
She nodded .<\/p>\n
1\/2 Chapter 0265 Yes , Ill meet you up there in a moment .<\/p>\n
I just have a phone call to make , she said .<\/p>\n
He nodded and headed straight to her bedroom ; she watched after him and let out a sigh after he was out of sight .<\/p>\n
She wanted to believe Ethan and she wanted to trust him \u2026.<\/p>\n
but she knew now that she couldnt .<\/p>\n
Over the last few months , she discovered Ethans tell .<\/p>\n
She now understood his tells when he lied ; his nostrils flared ever so slightly , and he always raised his eyebrows in a condescending way .<\/p>\n
That was exactly what he did when he was talking about not knowing that woman .<\/p>\n
She had no doubt in her mind now that Ethan was in fact lying to her .<\/p>\n
She walked out of the parlor and into the main foyer where Adam sat in his usual seat , reading a book .<\/p>\n
He paused when he saw her and he corked an eyebrow .<\/p>\n
I need you to do me a favor and tell nobody about it , Irene said without missing a beat .<\/p>\n
She grabbed her phone and brought up a picture of the womans license plate .<\/p>\n
She managed to snap it before she drove away from Ethans house .<\/p>\n
She didnt do anything with it yet , hoping that Ethan would come clean and tell her the truth .<\/p>\n
But clearly , that wasnt going to happen .<\/p>\n
She sent the image to Adams cell phone , and she heard his phone chiming almost immiedalty after .<\/p>\n
He grabbed his phone and glanced at the image with a frown .<\/p>\n
Who does this belong to ? He asked , looking back up at her .<\/p>\n
Im hoping youll be able to find out for me , she said .<\/p>\n
Youve always been good with computers and techy stuff , Adam .<\/p>\n
Do you think you can find out who this plate belongs to ? He thought about it for a moment , and then he nodded .<\/p>\n
Of course , he replied .<\/p>\n
She nodded Find out what you can and report to me as soon as you can she ordered , and with that , she turned and went upstairs .<\/p>\n
