Chapter 137
Daddy ! Irene gasped , rushing to his side .
Dont be rude to Ethans family .
Im not the one being rude , he said through his teeth .
It was a misunderstanding , Sophia went on to say , her words coming out hoarse .
We didnt know who you were .
And that makes it okay ? Gavin asked , raising his brows .
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 .
Kelsey looked as if she was about to get sick .
Im glad I came here when I did because who knows how much worse things could have gotten , said , his lip curling in disgust .
Gavin It was a mistake , Alpha .
We didnt recognize you , Sopha tried to explain .
Please , dont take any of what we said the wrong way .
How could I not- 10 Daddy , please ! Irene said , her eyes pleading with her father to drop the issue .
Not here … please , dont make a scene … I hadnt realized that there were now bystanders watching everything happen , and my cheeks burned with embarrassment .
My mothers eyes were wide as she stared at me , and I could hardly look her in the eyes .
Gavin looked as if he was about to say something , but then he decided against it .
He cleared his throat and straightened .
Ill be taking my leave then , he murmured .
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 … what seems to be the issue ? I turned to see Ethans father , Raymond , walking toward us with a frown on his lips .
He was a nobleman and a good friend of my fathers .
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 .
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 .
Raymond , Gavin greeted , his tone icy .
I was just leaving .
But Alpha , you just got here .
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 .
It seems Im not very welcome here , Gavin said , his eyes flickering to Meredith .
Raymonds eyes darkened as he glared at his wife .
What exactly happened ? He asked , his aura darkening What had you done ? 1/3 Chapter 0137 443 Please , Daddy .
Just let it go .
They didnt mean any harm … Irene pleaded .
Whatever my wife had said to you , Im sure it can be cleared up , Raymond said , his eyes still pouring into Merediths face .
I apologize for any rudeness .
Please stay for a little while and get some food .
Its okay … I whispered for Gavins ears only .
You can stay .
He turned to look at me , his eyes narrowed , but they softened when he looked into my eyes .
I want to take you home , he told me softly .
Ill stay for a bit , I assured him .
Im just going to clean up .
He looked at me for a moment longer before nodding .
didnt miss the looks that Meredith and Kelsey exchanged with one another , hearing some of the dialogue between us .
Ill help you clean up , my mother said , draping an arm through mine .
I hadnt even noticed she was nearby until she spoke , but I was relieved by her presence .
I nodded and turned back to Gavin .
Ill see you later , Alpha , I told him , a bit louder for those around us to hear .
He gave me a curt nod before turning back to Raymond .
Their conversation was drowned out as we headed into the Cash family manor and towards the bathroom .
How could you make a scene like that ? my mother asked once we reached the bathroom .
I wasnt the one making the scene , I murmured .
She sighed as she grabbed a hand towel and wet it with some warm water .
Look , I need you to know something , and I dont want you to freak out .
I frowned , worry bubbling in my belly .
Okay ? I urged her to continue .
I spoke to Ethans parents earlier .
Raymond went over details on how much I could get for the house , she explained ; my heart sank .
Our house ? I asked her .
She nodded .
I could get a lot of money that could pay off a lot of the debt your father owes , she told me .
It wont be enough to get him out of prison … but its something .
If you are going to sell the house , then where exactly are we going to live ? I asked her .
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 .
Mom ? I asked after she hadnt answered .
2 : 3 Chapter 0137 She sighed and looked up at me , her eyes soft and apologetic .
Meredith and Raymond offered us their guest room , she told me gently .
What are you saying ? I asked , my entire body feeling paralyzed .
Im saying … we would be living here ; with the Cash family .
