Chapter 0137

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 .noveldrama

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 .

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 .
