RedNovelChapter 0050 Judy's POV All three of them stared at me. Irene and Matt with smiles on their faces and Gavin with a frown.
I stood in front of them with my eyes wide and my heart thuddling violently in my chest. I wasn't sure what to say as an excuse to get out of this. There was no way I was going to have dinner with Gavin and his family.
"I really should go." I managed to sputter, pointing over my shoulder at the door and giving an awkward and desperate-sounding laugh.
"Please, Judy," Matt pleaded, grabbing onto my arm. "I really want you to stay." "It would be nice to have another woman at the table," Irene agreed, a flicker of hope in her eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe truly was desperate for friends, and she would get them any way that she could. I glanced up at Gavin, hoping that he would say something to helpout here. But he just sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. He glanced at Irene and then at Matt before he turned towards the maid who had walked in upon his command. "Set an extra plate for Miss Montague," he ordered.
My entire heart fell deep into my stomach "Yes, Alpha," the maid said, bowing her head in respect and quickly hurrying towards the kitchen.
Gavin then turned to look at me, his eyes hard and his face expressionless. I stared at him in disbelief. I couldn't believe he just did that. It was clear from his expression that he didn't wantto stay, so why was he forcing me? I wanted to ask him, but I didn't want to make a scene in front of Matt; he was jumping up and down excitedly because I was joining them for dinner, and I didn't want to burst his little bubble. That was probably what Gavin was thinking too; from what I heard, Matt being happy and excited about something was a rarity. I would hate myself if I was the reason that smile got wiped from his face.
"This is so exciting," Irene said, clapping her hands together. “Con, Matt. Let's get ready for dinner." Matt nodded and went with Irene toward the kitchen, leavingalone with Gavin. I immediately turned and glared up at him, my lips pressed in a thin line and my eyes harrowed. He pretended he didn't notice; he looked everywhere butand that only madeeven more mad.
"What was that?” I asked him, putting my hands on my hips as I continued to stare at him.
"What was what?" He asked, playing dumb.
I rolled my eyes at the act.
"Why would you ask the maid to set an extra plate for me?" I asked, exasperated.
He finally looked atand I could see the coldness in my es "Because you are joining us for dinner," he said in a low and threatening tone. I was startled by the change of demeanor, and I took a hesitant step back. "I haven't seen a smile on Matt's face in a long time, but for sreason, he likes you. So, for hits sake, you are going to stay for dinner, and you aren't going to complain." I opened my mouth to protest, but then immediately closed it. He was right; I couldn't be the reason Matt was unhappy. So, I relented with a curt nod before turning away from him and walking towards the kitchen. However, he grabbed my arm to stopbefore I could get too far away. His touch was gentle, and yet firm at the stime. I felt warmth spreading across my entire body from the contact and goosebumps spread across my #25 BONUS Chapter 00:50 arms. My heart skipped a beat when I turned to face him, my breath caught in my throat once I realized how close he was standing to me. His scent was whirling aroundlike a tornado, and I found myself entranced by his nearness.
For a second, it almost seemed as if he had forgotten what he wanted to say to me. He stared atwith his full lips parted and his eyes dark with heat. His eyes dropped to my lips, and I thought he was going to kiss me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDid I want him to kissagain? I bit my lip, already deciding that I did.
I wanted to kiss Gavin Landry.
But as if he was slapped back to reality, he released my arm and straightened his posture. I blinked a few times, broken from the trance I was under, and I stared up at him, my cheeks reddening.
"It's just dinner, Judy," he reminded me. “Don't go around thinking this changes anything.
He walked aroundand towards the kitchen without sparinganother look. I reached my fingers up to touch my cheek, they were burning hot. I cleared my throat, trying to bring my mind back to the present moment before I took a deep breath and followed him into the kitchen.
Irene and Matt were already seated, there were two more plates on the table in front of the seats, one omn which was at the head of the table. The other was right next to it. My stomach tightened knowing that that was the spot they wantedto sit... right next to Gavin.
Gavin seemed to have noticed this too because he let out as ghas he walked towards the table. The entire dining room smelled like delicious NO food and my mouth started to water, I realized I hadn't had a chance to eat all day.
