Semua Bab My Best Friend’s Father Wants me: Bab 311 - Bab 320

Enora:I went back to the VIP room and all attention was on me. Nathan and Jasper stopped playing their poll and both looked at me with worried expressions. Everyone wanted to say something, but everyone was lip-tight. “I’m alright. She just wanted to talk,” I said calmly, slipping back into my seat next to Nicki. Nathan’s face looked terribly pale. Could I really blame him? His daughter had rejected him in front of everyone. My chest tightened as I remembered what Bridget said about her father not caring. Nathan was strict but at the end of the day, he wanted to raise Bridget well. I couldn’t believe it when he told me that his ex wife would have been even more strict with Bridget. I always thought her to be a very calm and flowery individual, even though no one had really met her because she died when Bridget was very young. “Uhmm… What’s the score?” I asked Jay, shifting the attention from me to the game that Nathan and Jasper had started so furiously. “He’s winning,”Jasper sai

Enora:His jaw dropped, his eyes widened and my chest tightened. I had to. I couldn’t accept. I was scared, skeptical. “Why? Did I do something wrong?” he asked. “No. I… I’m just worried.”“About what?”I took a deep breath, but I was still trembling. “Dakota, her proposal… I want to be sure that you aren’t asking me to marry you because you want to capitalize on her proposal.”He said nothing.“Is this part of it? Are you doing this for the business or because you actually want to be with me?”“Enora–”He took my hand and squeezed it. “–I love you and I’ve always wanted to be with you. I want to marry you. The business thing is just an added perk.”“Added perk?”I pulled my hands away and looked at him in disbelief.“No. I’m sorry. It… It came out wrong…”“No,” I said, standing up and wiping a tear that was streaming down my face. “It came out exactly the way it was meant to. Marrying me is just a means to an end, isn’t it?”Hearing the words from my mouth made me tremble. They h

Enora:Saturday was the coldest I had ever felt. I didn’t even want to get out of bed. My phone was my companion and I couldn’t help checking it every few minutes. There were no texts or calls from Nathan. I rolled over, away from the sun, my chest tight and my stomach churning. It was time to get up, but I pulled the covers over my head. I didn’t want to. I didn’t have the courage to see Nathan's face, not after last night. That was why I ran away when I heard him getting closer to the door. “I am such a coward,” I mumbled into a pillow, hugging it so tight that I cut off all the circulation in my arms. If I didn’t get my act together soon, I was going to rot in this bed. The letter that Nathan had written to me last night was on the bed side table and I reached for it. I read it over and over again. He wanted to see me. I had no reason to be hiding out in my room. I wanted to see him too, but I had no idea how to even start. How the hell do you start a normal conversation with th

Enora:The weekend went as quickly as it came. It was simple: helping Nathan with his court case, sex, eating, and repeat. He never brought up the proposal again and I had mixed feelings about it. Maybe it was best that he didn’t talk about it anymore. I needed time to think. I was waiting for him downstairs. I sighed. It wasn’t like we were in a rush though. We still had plenty of time but I had this feeling that he had collapsed from tiredness back on the bed while he was getting dressed. We had a pleasurable night last night but I know he didn’t sleep. I cracked an eye open at night and found him awake and working at my desk. I was soon swept up by the sleep and my eyes closed again.“I’m ready. Sorry I took so long,” he said as he rushed down the stairs, doing up his cufflinks. I smiled. He looked like he had been in a rush. His tie was a little wonky. “I told you that you should let me help you get dressed,” I said, walking up to him and centreing his tie properly. He smile

Enora:Bridget stood up at the sound of a knock at my door. Jasper popped his head in, and as soon as his eyes fell on both of us, I could see that he was instantly speechless.She gave him a small smile, packed up her stuff and stood up to leave. My stomach churned even more, and soon the food that she had given me no longer agreed with me.I saw the way they exchanged glances, and she walked out the door, just as he came inside. He had new files in his hands, and for some reason, he looked paler than usual. I reached for my bottle of water just as he sat down and placed the files on my desk."It seems you were busy," he said flatly, leaning back into his chair, looking at me with many questions in his eyes. I sighed, my mind looking for the right words to say. Bridget wanted to put all of this behind her, but I wasn't even sure if I could forgive her after everything that had happened."We talked," I told him, lowering my head and grabbing the files he had passed to me. "We talke
