hapter 0228 Judys POV I took another sip of my wine , feeling it relax my mind and body .
I kept glancing at my phone periodically , thinking there would be a missed call or anew message .
But there wasnt .
I hated the jab of disappointment I would feel in my chest every time I saw that there was no message .
I shouldnt be feeling this way .
Gavin was with his family … Its not like he was losing interest in me or anything Besides , even if he was , it shouldnt matter that much .noveldrama
We are only having some fun ….
scratching each others itches and putting on a show to get some people off our backs .
Yet , my chest tightened every time I glanced at my phone .
I took a deep breath and put my phone on the table , unable to look at it any further .
I glanced at Nans lightly sipped wine and frowned when I glanced over my shoulder at the entryway to the kitchen .
I wondered where she was .
I knew she was going to find out what Chester was cooking , but she had been gone for some time now .
I figured I should go check on her .
I hoped she didnt get lost on the way to the kitchen .
I took another sip of the wine before placing it on the table and standing to my feet .
I brushed my pants , straightening them with the palms of my hands before I started towards the kitchen .
off The door of the kitchen was propped open slightly and I could see the back of Nans figure standing in the entryway .
I smiled as I made my way towards her , but slowly started to subside when I saw how tense she was .
Her entire body was like a stiff board .
Frowning , I walked towards her .
Nan , are you okay ? I asked .
I paused when I reached her , and I could see over her shoulder that she was staring at Chester and Harper .
Harper was seated on the kitchen counter , her legs wrapped around Chesters waist and her arms around his neck .
But then the red in his cheeks immediately went away and his face turned a ghostly shade of white when 1/2 Chapter 0220 he looked at Nan .
His eyes grew wide , and I could see the horror in them .
Nan took a step back , her body trembling slightly .
My frown deepened even more as looked at my best friend ; I realized she was pale as well .
I looked at Chester who was completely frozen in his place , neither of them saying a single word .
Nan ? I asked her , tugging at her arm and trying to get her attention .
A … are you okay ? Chester ? Harper asked, trying to touch him with her foot , but he stepped further away from her as if he couldnt stand her touch .
Nan let out a shaky breath and then she finally tore her eyes away from Chester to look at me .
My brows furrowed when I saw the tears in her pretty blue eyes ; my chest tightened .
She looked gutted … something was wrong with my best friend , and I needed to know what it was .
