Chapter 0117

Judys POV

You know your father and I have a long history , Dalsy sald , giving an awkward chuckle .

Irene nodded thoughtfully .

Yes , his fated mate , my mother , was your sister , Irene replied .

Unfortunately , my father isnt on the market for dating at the moment .

Daisy pressed her red lips in a thin line as she narrowed her eyes at Irene .

Even she knew she had to be careful about what she said in the presence of Gavins daughter.

We are only friends , of course , Daisy said through her tight lipped smile .

Dont overthink things .noveldrama

She glanced in my direction and sized me up for a moment and then she curled her lip in disgust again .

That dress is too tacky for me .

Ill find something else , she muttered .

She spun on her heel and walked away .

I let out a breath I hadnt known I was holding .

The fake smile Irene was sporting dropped immediately and then she turned to me .

I hate that bitch , she muttered .

I was surprised by this , but I relaxed immediately after hearing Irenes words and then I let out a soft chuckle .

Irene gave me a gentle smile and nudged me towards the changing room .

Get changed and we can grab some lunch before we head back .

I know you have tutoring this evening Sounds good , I told her .

As much as I loved the dress , it was nice wearing my normal clothes again .

Stacy was quick to take the dress and package it for me .

Irene found a gorgeous dress for herself as well and Irene packaged that for her .

We reached the counter , and Stacy rang up the dresses .

For Judy , the dress is 3 million dollars and for Irene , the dress is 1 million , Stacy said , lifting her gaze .

My mouth dropped open .

That was so much money .

I wasnt expecting a simple dress to cost that much .

Without even blinking , Irene grabbed a black card and handed it to Stacy .

You can charge t dresses to this card , Irene said as she pulled out her phone to check her messages .

I stared at her dumbfounded at how casual she was to be spending that much money .

Stacy looked delighted as she charged the card .

Once it went through , she printed the receipt and handed the receipt and card to Irene .

She carefully handed us each a box which Taylor and Gamma Derek took from us to help out .

They were so well hidden in the shadows and kept to themselves that I completely forgot that they were even there .

I smiled my thanks to Taylor as he took my box , and he nodded in acknowledgment .

We left the store , thankfully without any more run ins with Daisy , and we grabbed lunch .

This time , we invited the Gammas and Beta Taylor to join us , not wanting to be alone even for a second .

Once we finished with lunch , we went to the Villa so I could tutor Matt .

Mind if I steal you away for a minute ? Walter asked during the shooting portion of the tutoring session .

Matt was busy practicing his aim and was barely paying attention to us , so I nodded .

Walter took hold of my arm and wrapped it through mine .

We walked together , arm in arm , for a short while before he finally stopped to turn to me .

So , Im not sure if you heard , but the mascaraed Galas this weekend , he started in a rush .

My cheeks blushed and I nodded as I bit my lip .

I just got a couple tickets to the event , he continued .

And I was wondering if youd be my date ? I had a strange instinct to decline his offer , but I just got a 3 million dollar dress , so I couldnt .

I would love to , I told him .

It sounds like fun .

He relaxed his shoulders and let out a breath of relief .

Great , Ill pick you up at 8 on Saturday night , he told me and then he bent to kiss my cheek softly .

I nodded .

I will see you then , I told him .

I watched him as he hurried away and noticed that he had an extra pep in his step .

I just hoped that 1 wasnt going to be the one to take that away .

Third Person POV Saturday came quickly and Irene spent most of the day preparing for the Gala .

She was excited to be able to show off her glamorous dress and her gorgeous fiancé on her arm .

Ethan told her that he would pick her up this evening around 8 pm and then they would meet up with Walter and Judy .

They were planning on sharing a limo for the event tonight and she was beyond thrilled about it .

Her father was also attending the Gala , but he wasnt going to accompany them .

He was getting there by himself , without a date .

Irene had told him that he should find somebody to take , but he refused .

Truth be told , she didnt want him to be single at the Gala knowing that Daisy was also going to be there single , in hopes of capturing Gavins attention .

She didnt want her father and her mothers sister to get together .

The thought irritated her , she really couldnt stand her Aunt Daisy , and she wanted her away from her family .
