Chapter 42
Chapter 0042 Judys POV Irene , I greeted , thankful that I sounded stronger than I felt .
I wasnt expecting to see you here .
Oh , I was just getting some stuff for my upcoming wedding , she said , holding up her shopping bag .
She glanced at Nan .
And whos this ? I swallowed the lump in my throat ; the last thing I wanted was for Irene to be curious about Nan and try to take her too .
I knew it wasnt fair of me to blame Ethan for leaving me on Irene because shes as much a victim as I am if not more .
But I couldnt help myself .
Whenever I look at Irene , I think about how my mate left me for her .
I grimaced at the very thought of him touching her the way that he used to touch me .
We were so in love at one point ; he was my fated mate and we were supposed to be together forever .
It was written on the star ; it was the Goddess who paired us together .
But she had made a grave mistake .
Or maybe it was Ethan who had taken the wrong turn .
My chest continued to ache even after I swore , I was over him .
Does one ever truly get over their mate though ? This is my best friend , Nan , I told her , motioning for Nan who gave Irene a quizzical look .
Nan already knew all about Irene and I didnt have to explain who she was .
Irene held out her hand to shake Nans and Nan only stared at it for a brief moment , a frown marring her perfectly glossed lips .
I had to nudge Nan slightly on the arm to snap her out of her stupor because Irene couldnt know that something was wrong .
Nan hesitantly lifted her hand and placed it in Irenes .
Its nice to meet you , Nan said with a forced smile .
Hello , Nan , Irene said cheerfully , not noticing that anything was wrong or weird .
Im Irene Landry .
Gavin Landrys daughter and Ethan Cashs fiancé .
Its so very nice to meet you .
I could see Nan struggling to keep her calm , but she managed just fine and dipped her head in respect .
And its an honor , Miss Landry , she said with a slight bite in her words .noveldrama
What are you girls up to ? She asked , looking between us 1 glanced at Nan who gave me a slight shrug just before looking back at Irene .
We were just shopping , I answered .
Its kind of a girls day , Nan added .
Something flashed in Irenes eyes that I couldnt quite understand .
Oh , I see , she said thoughtfully .
Ive never had a girls day before .
I guess I never really had friends to do that type of thing with .
I raised my brows ; I found it difficult to believe she never had friends .
I mean , she was Irene Landry after all .
Youve never had friends ? Nan asked , mimicking my thoughts .
Trene shrugged casually , looking a bit troubled Not real ones , she admitted .
I guess people are just intimidated by me or something .
Its no big deal ..
Chapter 0042 She bit her lip and stared at the ground .
I looked at Nan again ; I knew Irene wanted an invite to our shopping spree and 1 could tell Nan was thinking the same thing because she gave me a slight head shake when I met her eyes .
I grabbed Nans arm and turned back to Irene .
Well , it was nice seeing you again , Irene .
We should be going now , I told her as I pulled Nan alongside me .
Oh , Irene said , sounding disappointed .
Okay , I guess I see you later .
I nodded and waved over my shoulder and continued dragging Nan down the street , ignoring that Irenes eyes were burning a hole in the back of my head .
Shes certainly an interesting character , Nan murmured as we entered the boutique .
Certainly , I agreed .
We spent the evening shopping for Nan and getting Talia albirthday present .
Nan settled on a gorgeous ruby bracelet with a heart charm ; she got Talias name engraved on the charm .
After we went shopping , we went to a restaurant for dinner Thanks for going out with me today , Nan said as she dropped me back at the house .
I smiled at her .
You dont have to thank me , I told her .
I love hanging out with you , She smiled ; we hugged , and I left her car to return to my dark and quiet house .
Its been exceptionally quiet since my father was taken .
My mother had hardly left her room in the last couple of days .
I checked on her this morning , but she didnt seem to want to talk .
If I cant get her out of Her room tomorrow , Ill probably end up calling her doctor to make a home visit .
She couldnt keep going on like this ; it wasnt good for her .
She was wasting away before my eyes , and I was so worried about her .
What do you think?
