Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 96

Chapter 0096

She lifted her gaze to meet mine; she stared at me for a long while as if she was trying to figure out if I was being truthful or not.

“Really?” She finally asked.

“Yes,” I told her. “Besides, your father would kill me if I overstepped.”

She smirked and then shrugged.

“He is very protective,” she admitted. “I just don’t get where Ethan’s head has been at lately. He’s hard to read.”

“From what I remember, he’s always been like that,” I told her. “I wouldn’t take it to heart though, Irene. He loves you and wants to be with you. He chose you.”

She seemed to have relaxed because she finally smiled a genuine smile, and then she nodded.

The waitress gave us our meals and we talked mindlessly as we ate. I felt a bit hollow since the conversation though; I didn’t like lying to her about my history with Ethan and the fact that Ethan loves her. I knew he was only using her and if she found out about that, it would destroy her.

Once dinner concluded, Irene grabbed my arm before I could go out the front door.

“Let’s go out the back,” she whispered, a devilish and humored look in her eyes.

“What?” I asked her, raising my eyebrows. “Why?”

“Because the guards are out front and I just want a little longer without them,” she said, glancing out the front door. “Let’s take a walk.”

I didn’t argue with her; I followed her out the back door and we walked through the dirty alley until we reached the street. I could see Leroy’s car and the guard’s car a distance away near the front door of the restaurant. Irene saw them too and we quickly hurried in the opposite direction.

As we ran, I couldn’t help but laugh. I felt like a child sneaking around her parents. Irene was also chuckling, both of us gasping for breath and holding our stomachs as we laughed around the corner. I leaned against the building we were near, sure that we were far enough away to rest for a minute. “We can’t avoid them forever,” I chuckled.

“I know,” she sighed. “I just wanted to have some fun”
