Fated To Three, And I Broke Them All novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41: 41-My Sweet Friend Gigi

Jaguar:

It took me hours to get home.

By then, morning had arrived.

It was Sunday anyway, so I planned to rest for the entire day.

But I didn’t immediately leave Verity’s house, even after she wanted me to.

I stayed and watched from my car as her new door was installed.

Part of me wanted to add surveillance cameras.

I didn’t know why, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that she was too innocent for this world and didn’t even realize it.

The only issue was that I’d been getting call after call from both Ragnar and Theodore this whole time.

The only person who hadn’t reached out to me was Gigi.

I hoped she wasn’t upset.

As for Ragnar, he sounded kind of pissed.

I reached home and had only just stepped inside when I saw what looked like a meeting in the living room.

It seemed they had already finished breakfast and were now chatting.

The mood changed at my arrival, though.

The laughter stopped, and the gossip ceased.

"Hey, good morning," I greeted, casting a quick glance around.

There was Theodore, of course, and Gigi sitting across the table from him.

Right next to Gigi was her friend.

I believed I had seen her around before.

Her name was Rochelle, but I didn’t know anything more than that.

"Morning," the friend was the only one who responded, and right then I realized I had deeply upset Gigi.

Usually, she would jump up from her seat, purr like a kitten, and greet me.

She was innocent and playful like that.

But today, she barely even acknowledged me.

I walked up to her and dragged a chair to her side.

Sitting on the edge, I bent my elbow and rested my fist under my chin for support as I stared at her from up close.

That was my way of teasing her.

"What are you looking at?" Theodore grunted.

"I’m trying to read her mind. Maybe if I know how to apologize, it’ll be much easier," I mumbled, pouting when Gigi finally turned her head to acknowledge me.

She looked pale and deeply saddened.

And I was really guilty of causing her mood.

"You shouldn’t have ditched us then," Theodore continued, adding fuel to the fire.

I sighed and gave him a look, but it didn’t make him back down.

He returned the same harsh look, letting me know that nothing I did would make a difference to him.

"My friend was sick and needed me at the time. I’m really sorry, Gigi." I finally straightened my posture and apologized.

But in return, she only nodded silently.

"I’m truly sorry. Do you think I did it on purpose? Do you seriously see me as someone who would do that?"

I asked her in a much calmer tone than I would have used with anyone else.

I was only known to speak kindly to my own family.
