Semua Bab One Nightstand With My Ex's Uncle : Bab 111 - Bab 116

112EMILY’S POV.“That’s fine. Maybe I’ll be able to forgive you if you stop trying to act like we’re still a thing in front of people. The flowers, and the kiss did nothing, but embarrass me.” I said, hoping I didn’t sound flustered.Because I was definitely flustered. I didn’t expect him of all people to apologize.“It’s out of habit. Pardon me.” He said, and I turned around to sleep, raising the blanket over my head because I hated the thought of him staring at me.He chuckled, and I wondered if all the resentment was over between us. Were we no longer enemies? No longer people who hated each other? It felt weird—not being enemies with John.We couldn’t be friends. I was sure of that, but maybe we could be people who didn’t avoid and try to step on each other.It was really weird thinking we could be anything other than angry exes.Maybe I didn’t actually need enemies in my life. Maybe it was what would help my life become better.*We were on the altar, and he had slipped a diamon

114EMILY’S POV.“Why did you do that?” I asked, after seeing him put my phone on airplane mode. I missed Lucas, and he was finally calling, but I couldn’t pick his call?“Why?

I believe it can wait. Or are you dating him? You can’t stay away from him for three days?”“This is unacceptable. No company does this. I haven’t seen…”“You’re seeing it now, Emily. Do I have to run my business the way others run theirs? I believe not.” He said, sipping his tea. “Whatever important thing he has to say, I’m sure he can handle it on his 0wn, so don’t worry.

116EMILY’S POV.John had stopped the car, but had still tried to persuade me. I didn’t bother listening, not even when he offered to take me there. I had hailed the first cab I saw, and he had happily driven through the long distance after I told him I would pay him well.Just outside the compound, after I had paid him, I saw Lucas coming in the opposite direction, with canned drinks in a white polythene bag his hand. I felt like a kid seeing their mom after a long day at school.It was impossible to walk to him. I forgot every other thing, and ran to him, with a bright smile. He was also happy to see me, and threw his arms around me.I didn’t even care that people could be passing by. His hug was warm, and I wanted to stay in it. It made my chest tingle, and my heart beat skyrocketed, but it was a pleasant beat.He released me, and looked down at me, smiling, and I wondered: Do I have feelings for Lucas? Why does his smile affect me so? Why do I long to drown in the green sea of his
