Chapter 62
Judys POV Oh , hey Judy , Irene said as she recovered from Ethans hold .
Her cheeks were flushed and that smile never left her lips .
She ran her fingers through her hair and gave me a sheepish look as she stepped into the parlor .
Matt lifted his gaze from his homework to look up at his sister .
How are things going in here ? She asked , taking the loveseat across the room , Ethan sat beside her , his fingers entwined with hers .
They were all lovey dovey and close to one another .
I I wondered if she knew that he was over at my house last night while she was desperately trying to call him .
Great , just finishing up some Algebra , I answered , turning back to Matt .
I tried my best to ignore Irene and Ethan while he whispered sweet nothing into her ear , making her giggle .
I couldnt help but feel the annoyance creep up my spine .
I could feel Ethans gaze landing on me periodically , but I just straightened my spine and focused on my work at hand .
I brought some pastries , one of the maids said , walking into the parlor .
She sat a tray on the coffee table for us all to share .
Thank you , Maria , Irene said politely .
The maid nodded and left the room moments later .
The Ethan stood and walked over to the coffee table , lowering himself as he took a look at the pastries .
They were scones and small sugar cookies .
They admittedly smelled delicious .
He picked up a couple of cookies and brought them back to the loveseat he shared with Irene .
He draped a protective arm around her , and I watched as he brought the cookie to her lips , She smiled as she opened her mouth and bit into the cookie .
Gag , Matt muttered , rolling his eyes .
Cant you do that somewhere else ? Irene frowned at him as Ethan wiped a crumb off the side of her lips , bringing his finger to his mouth and licking the crumb off his finger , his eyes lingeringon mine .
I pressed my lips in a thin line and glared at him ; he was doing this on purpose to get a rise out of me and I wasnt going to let it work .
You dont have to watch us , Irene snapped back .
She snuggled into Ethan who kissed the top of her head .
Not for the first time , I wondered if Ethan had something to do with the fact that my dead found out about my dyslexia .
At this point , I wouldnt be surprised if he did something as cruel as that to try and push me out of college .
The thought made my stomach twist and turn and was suddenly feeling sick .
I turned away from them and drowned myself in Matts work .
We worked tirelessly for the next hour while Irene and Ethan continued to snuggle and flirt on the loveseat .
Its almost like they didnt have anything better to do with their time .
By the time we finished Matts work , I was exhausted both physically and mentally , Chapter 0062 Do you want to stay for dinner again ? Matt asked as he put away his assignments .
I need to get home , I told him , standing to my feet .
But Ill see you tomorrow .
Matt pouted , but he didnt argue this time .
Im going to see what we are having for dinner and offer my assistance in the kitchen , Irene said , standing to her feet and pulling Ethan along with her .
Come with me ? she asked him , batting her long lashes in his direction .
He looked down at her and for a moment , I thought he was going to agree and accompany her of the kitchen .
But he only gave her a sweet smile and pressed his lips to hers , kissing her gently .
Ill meet you in there , I have to make a phone call .
She frowned at him , but she didnt argue .
Instead , she gave him a chased kiss on the lips and turned to look at me , giving me a breathy laugh .
My man is a hard worker , she said .
Always so busy .
It was nice to see you , Judy .
She started towards the kitchen , and Matt followed after her .
Ill come with you , he offered .
She nodded and the two of them disappeared into the kitchen .
I grabbed my bag off the coffee table , fully aware that Ethan was watching my every move .
I tried my best to ignore him though , not wanting to give him the time of day .
I shouldered my bag and started to walk towards the door , but he grabbed my arm , halting me in my tracks .
I whipped around to face him , my eyes burning with fire .
