Chapter 125
I looked at him because I saw Xyleus frown. Xyleus and I were closer to each other but he doesn’t know how I feel for Rigella. I’m afraid Seymour might find out. But one day Creed broke up with me. It’s really good and he knows how to keep quiet.
Next I looked at what Creed taught. My lips parted when I saw that Rigella. He was talking to some of his friends while drinking.
I almost blushed when I saw what he was wearing. I can see his waist in his t-shirt- or was it really a t-shirt because it looks like it’s covered in fabric. His shorts were also short. Shit, the whiteness and beauty of her complexion was so obvious.
Creed moved next to me and whispered to me. “I invited her here, bro. Go, talk to me. It’s your birthday today. Give that as a gift to yourself.” aniya.
I turned to Creed. “I don’t want to beat Seymour, Creed.” I shook and bowed. Damn, my heart beats with an abnormal rhythm again.
“Stupid. You can just talk. You can’t argue with Seymour. You can just talk, stupid.” he whispered again.
‘tangina, don’t make fun of me.” I moved away from him a little because I was a little disgusted. I sipped the wine again and looked at Rigella. She’s now laughing with her friends. Shit, how can she manage to be that beautiful?
But my gaze was cut off when he turned his back on me as well. I immediately averted my gaze but I still caught his smile. Damn, why did he smile? was he laughing at me?
I looked at him again and saw that he was talking to his friends again. One of his friends looked at me and suddenly pulled him by the arm. My forehead furrowed. Where would that woman take him?
I was so shocked when they turned in our direction. I swallowed and suddenly bowed. Damn. As I bent down I could still see them. Rigella does not want to continue walking while her friend was forcing her. It laughed and and forced him to come to us.
“Hi, boys!” I heard the woman say so I looked up.
“Hannah? Here you were.” said Creed. I think he’s your ex.
“Obviously, C.” the woman blinked and turned to me. “By the way, hello! I’m Hannah. Happy birthday, Ivan.” she gave me a sweet smile.
I nodded and sparingly smiled. ‘thank you.” I thank you. I looked at Rigella and saw that both her cheeks were red. Wait, was she drunk?
“And, this was Rigella, my friend. She’s also here to greet you.” said Hannah.
“What? Han.” shocked Rigella said. She looked at me and bowed her head after. Damn, she’s really beautiful.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“What were you, Ella. Say hello to the birthday boy. We wouldn’t have anything to drink today if it wasn’t for him.” Hannah snorted.
Rigella seemed even more compelled when she looked at me. I think his face was even redder now. “Happy birthday.” he almost whispered his promise but enough for me to hear.
I swallowed and grinned. Fuck, I’m so happy right now. ‘thank you.” I smiled at him.
“Why don’t you join us here? There were only three of us here at this table.” I suddenly asked. I saw the shock of the two women in front of us and even I was also surprised at what I said. Damn it, Ivan. What were you talking about?
“Sure thing, birthday boy!”
And they did sit on a couch here at our table. I’m just a little disgusted. Why was he drinking? I know him. But … anyway, we haven’t seen each other for a few years so he probably changed … a little.
“You know, Ella, don’t understand your family issue anymore. You’re here to enjoy so chill first.”
“I’m also confused. I don’t know about our problem because they don’t tell me. And you also don’t want to tell me.”
“I’m sorry, E. Tita asked us. And besides, it’s for you too. It’s better when you don’t know so you’re safe.”
‘tsk. What’s that. I don’t have a cellphone, I’m not allowed to watch TV and even more so I can’t go out. I even beat the high school student who was grounded by his parents.”
“But you escaped. Just, you don’t know. Period.”
I could hear Rigella whispering. So … he really doesn’t know? I personally knew what was going on in his family. Evidence was slowly emerging that Tito Rick did steal from Seymour’s company. The Chrysostoms were in turmoil now and maybe, as Rigella”s youngest child they were just protecting it.
Speaking of Seymour … we have no connection with him. Creed hasn’t called us in two months. We were already worried about him e. We plan to visit him in America in a month.
“It’s your weight, Han. Take it easy and maybe that’s how you can. Why were you getting drunk?” Creed complains that he was now leading the very drunk Hannah.
I shook my head and heaved a sigh. Rigella was my guide now because even she was very drunk. I was thinking earlier if I will send her home? It’s embarrassing because and maybe what else his parents say. I am a man and she was a woman so of course they will think differently.
So now, I have decided to stay in the condo with Creed first. I will sleep there too so I can take care of him.
Earlier while we were drinking I noticed his disdain for us. We talked, but only a little. More about school. But I was the one who opened the conversation between the two of us. Because Creed was right, while it’s my birthday I also need to give myself a gift.
When we got to the parking lot I immediately put him in my car. I sat him neatly in the front seat. He was close now and seems to be sound asleep. I also suddenly noticed what he was wearing so I winced. What I don’t like at all were those women who wear clothes that were supposed to be too short.
I took off my coat and made it look like a blanket on his body. It’s cold now and I’m not used to my car’s air conditioning not being on. He may even get cold and get sick.
I closed the front seat door when I finished covering him. I turned around and got in the driver’s seat. I turned the engine on and started driving. If only Rigella hadn’t been drunk I might have taken her to their house.
I led him again when we reached the tower of Creed’s condo. I saw Xyleus’ car ahead of Creed and me so it might go home. I think he was also drunk so he went home.
We took the elevator and I hit the floor where Creed”s condo was. We would have gone out and would have walked again if only maybe he hadn’t almost fallen. Damn, he’s heavy too.
I caught him with both my arms. I saw his eyes widen looking at me. Shit, he’s awake.
“I … Ivan.” he whispered.
Fuck. I averted my gaze and built him up nicely. I saw his grimace so I was alarmed.
“What happened? were you in pain?” I will ask. Langya, it’s very obvious that maybe I’m worried about her. But heck, I can’t control myself.
He nodded while still grinning. “My feet hurts. I’m not used to heels. I just borrowed it from Hannah.” he replied and swallowed his senses.
I stared at him for a moment before I knelt in front of him. I heard her sigh and she even backed away a little from me. I grabbed her leg and took off her shoes. I cursed under my breath when I saw her swollen feet. It seems like she really doesn’t used to wear this kind of shoes.
“Ivan-”
I cut him off and stood up. “You shouldn’t wear these if you can’t.” I said and handed him a pair of those shoes. “Hold this.”
He frowned and touched you. I, on the other hand, did not say that I carried him like a newlywed. Creed’s condo was nearby but of course I don’t want his feet to get cold.
I quickly entered the password of Creed’s condo the moment we arrived at its threshold. I went in while he was still up and I lowered him on a low sofa there.
“Does your head hurt?” I asked him and sat down in front of him.
“Not so much. By the way, where were we?” she asked and roamed her eyes around the condo.
