HIS CHUBBY STEPDAUGHTER CHAPTER 153: RUINED
MICHELA;My eyes met Miranda’s first. All that I wished for at that moment was for the floor to open and swallow me whole. Just when I thought everything would end well, just when I had read Celeste’s face and was happy she had not said anything about the magazine she had taken home. Just when Nathan had said the pictures were gone, and had even apologized. I thought I was about to have a swell time. For a stretch of cake and gifts and singing, I thought I might get a twentieth birthday without the old mess climbing into the room with us. Miranda’s mouth stayed open. The kindness from earlier drained out of her face. Her eyes went dark and crinkled at the corners, like she had wished she had never complimented me. She lifted both hands, covered her ears for a second, then turned fully toward Miles as if my face had become something she could not keep looking at.My eyes wandered off to Celeste. An ugly little smirk had already settled on her mouth. Her fingers twitched together b
HIS CHUBBY STEPDAUGHTER CHAPTER 152: FOOTSTEPS
MICHELA;Drinks were already in people’s hands when I stepped fully into the noise of the hall. Music played very low, just enough to lighten moods and usher people in.Everything looked like it was working after all. Waiters moved with trays, some guests already seated at the round table while others still stood, exchanging greetings and hugs. The café side was bright, the bookstore side fuller than I had ever seen it for an evening event. For a moment I let myself believe Jemy had been right. Nothing had gone wrong after allI sighted Ma’am Miranda and walked up to her first. She pulled me into a real hug, warmly but firmly, the kind that reassured me of her acceptance.“Happy birthday, dear,” she said against my ear. “My son does have eyes for good things.” We both laughed at the joke. I never thought this was possible… Sharing jokes and hugs with the sophisticated Miranda Stewart? That looked like a birthday miracle.I curtsied a little without thinking, half out of manners, hal
HIS CHUBBY STEPDAUGHTER CHAPTER 151: OVER THE SINK
MICHELA;“Now, open your eyes,” Jemy instructed. She stood in front of me with the makeup brush still in her hand, like a conventional makeup artist. She had made me shut my eyes on purpose. In her words,“Magic is best made with the eyes closed,” she had said.I opened them. I was stunned by how my face looked lifted, and how beautiful yet natural the makeup looked. Jemy sure does know her way around these things.“Oh my God.” The words left me soft. “This is really magic.”“I told you.” Jemy’s smile was pure pride.Behind her, Ivy laughed again. She had been doing that since Nathan showed up… light, relieved sounds, as her chest had finally found space. I was glad for her, in a careful way. Nathan said he had changed. For now, I let the day hold that version of him. I had led him to the bookstore when he said he needed to apologize to Miles too. I left them there and hurried back to start getting ready.I still had not touched the pizza. One box was already wrecked between Jemy
HIS CHUBBY STEPDAUGHTER CHAPTER 150: WITHOUT DRAMA
MICHELA;I stood there with the pizza boxes in my hands, unable to move.He stepped out of the driver’s seat and shut the door hard behind him. The nerve of him to show his face here! And he knew exactly what day it was! What made him think he was welcome at my birthday party? Looking at him infuriated me more. He looked readily dressed like he knew there was going to be a party… His hair was in that same curly style he always wore when he wanted to look cleaner…. The white shirt was so flawless it made him look almost saintly. He had even chosen dark pants with slits down both legs, showing off his shiny shoes.I didn't know what infuriated me more; the cute way he was dressed, or the blue lenses that sat on his face.He did not look at me first. It was safe to say the red car caught his attention at first. He ran his fingers along the side of it as he came closer, and my chest tightened.How dare he touch what was mine? I wanted to tell him to keep his filthy hands off it. But I d
HIS CHUBBY STEPDAUGHTER CHAPTER 149: BEFORE THE PARTY
MICHELA;Jemy, Ivy, and I walked into the bedroom downstairs. I chose that room on purpose. Were you thinking I would lead them to the bedroom upstairs?No way! Especially not with Ivy around. There was no version of this morning where I led them upstairs into the room I shared with Miles.Thanks to the cleaner, she had been through my old bedroom like I still stayed there, so at least it looked lived-in. I pushed the door open; the bed was made, curtains drawn back, the faint smell of whatever air freshener she had used still in the air.Jemy and Ivy settled on the bed at once. Ivy’s phone was already in her hands. Her brows were pinched together, fingers moving fast, the screen lighting her face in small flashes.I cleared space on the dresser, pushing aside a comb, a jar of cream, a pair of earrings I had left there days ago. I needed to make space for the items I would be bringing out for my prep. “Are you okay?” Jemy asked her. Of course, I had noticed a shift in her mood. But
HIS CHUBBY STEPDAUGHTER CHAPTER 148: A NEW RIDE
MICHELA;“This is… huge,” I breathed. “I wasn’t expecting this.”Truth was, I did not know how to arrange my face around what was in front of me—a red car with shiny ribbons. Miles watched me like the moment belonged only to us, like he wished it were just the two of us right there. He had called Jemy to be a part of this… That was so intentional of him.And Ivy… Nathan’s Ivy… standing in my front yard like she had any reason to be part of my morning. And that took my words away; I didn't know how best to react to everything.“You deserve it, Princess,” Miles said. “I’m tired of watching you wait on cabs. Go on. Press the key.”Jemy was already making those high, delighted sounds in the background, the kind she made when something felt bigger than a gift. I looked down at the key in my hand. There were buttons on it. I pressed one. The car beeped, and the lights flashed once.This was real! It was happening! Not just a scene from my imagination. For a second I let the weight on my c
