Chapter 0142

Third Person POV

The look Ethan had on his face when Judy left the party with her father did not go unnoticed by Irene. There was a look of longing; almost like he was a lost child, and it made Irene’s heart ache. She bit her bottom lip, refusing to cry in front of Ethan’s family. She had already made a good impression on them and didn’t want to ruin it.

“Irene, darling, don’t let that awful woman bother you,” Meredith said, giving her a gentle smile.” She’s just a nobody.”

“Yeah, my brother loves you. The thought of him being with her again makes me sick,” Kelsey muttered, folding her arms across her chest.

Something she had said struck Irene’s interest and she narrowed her eyes at her future sister–in–law.

“What did you just say?” Irene asked, her heart weighing heavier in her chest.

Kelsey glanced up at her with a frown.

“Which part?” she asked.

“You said the thought of them being together again makes you sick. What do you mean by again?”

Kelsey opened her mouth to reply, but her mother stopped her. She grabbed Kelsey’s arm and squeezed it tightly, making her whimper in distress.

“She didn’t mean anything by it. It was a slip of the tongue,” Meredith said with an obnoxiously loud laugh. “She must be exhausted,” she added, giving Kelsey a pointed look.

Kelsey’s cheeks flushed and then she nodded.

“Yes, I didn’t mean anything by it,” she murmured, glancing at Irene apologetically.

Irene, however, was not convinced.

She glanced across the yard at Ethan who was still staring longingly in the direction Judy had left. She pressed her lips in a thin line and turned to face Ethan’s mother and sister.

“It was very nice to meet you ladies. I hope we can get to know one another even more soon. Perhaps we can have brunch?” Irene suggested.

Meredith and Kelsey both lit up.

“Yes, we would love that,” Meredith answered for the both of them.

“Excellent, I’ll get your contact numbers from Ethan, and we can go from there. Perhaps we can meet at the Silver Crescent Country Club later this week or next week,” Irene said. “If you’ll excuse me, I should be going.”
