Semua Bab One Nightstand With My Ex's Uncle : Bab 41 - Bab 50

42EMILY’S POV.I was horrified. Why would Sadie be in my bed? When had she arrived? For how long had she been laying there? Why was she in my room? Even though her family looked down on me because they felt I wasn’t good enough for John, there was something called privacy, and I had the right to…I stopped thinking. Why was her face bloated, and her eyes red? Had she been crying?“You broke off the engagement with John? But my family thinks… oh no. Lady Genevieve is not going to be pleased with that. It would be huge news. Everyone would think there’s a huge story behind it. They might assume John cheated, or he was maltreating you, or he used to hit you… it’s going to be big news.“The reporters will want to dig up dirt on us because they’ll want to know why you broke off the engagement a few days before the wedding. Doesn’t that sound weird to you? Also, they’re going to be wondering if it had something to do with postponing the wedding, and keeping it secret. They will assume no w

44EMILY’S POV.The next morning, my head thrummed like lots of instruments were playing in it. I stumbled out of bed, and groaned. I needed something to help my headache.My sweatshirt was still stained with pepper from the salmon, and I wondered why I hadn’t taken it off. I went to the kitchen to get some lemon tea that could help, but the maids had no lemon tea, they only had coconut water. It helped a bit.“Here. Eat this before the family comes around for breakfast.” Kaye said, handing me an omelet with veggie.“Aww, you’re so sweet.” I said, picking it up, and digging my teeth into it. “Hm, this is sooo good. I feel so hungry, despite all the salmon you guys made last night. By the way, those salmon hit the spot. It felt like they were restaurant-cooked.” I complimented, and she blushed.“I had a major role in the grilling of the salmons, and preparing the ingredients.” She said, and I laughed, then drank more coconut water.“I’m never drinking apple cider again. It’s so sweet,

46EMILY’S POV.“That’s not the story. I didn’t end things with John because I slept with Lucas. I already intended to. Why would you modify the story in such a horrible way?” I asked, seeing how she interpreted the story in her own way, which was totally not acceptable.“You didn’t end things because you slept with Lucas, so you say. Then why did you end things? You just woke up one morning, and decided you were tired of John?” She asked, making a face, and I sighed.“No, I can’t tell you why.” I said. I knew she liked Katie, and it would be weird if she knew Katie slept with John.“Well, I can guess why, judging from all you’ve said today, but if you get in the way of my matchmaking, this is the story I’ll tell everyone. Emily slept with Lucas, and fell in love with him. Because of that, she broke up with John.” She said, arranging her hair around her shoulders delicately, and I bit my lip hard, wishing she was someone I could smack.Sadie got up from my bed, with a smile, and left

48EMILY’S POV.I was so shocked to discover my heart beating crazily that I subconsciously placed my hand on it. Why was it beating that fast?Just because he was handsome? Emily, tap him! Touch him! Wake him! You can’t just keep staring at him like that. What if he suddenly wakes, and finds you staring at him?How would you explain that?I wanted to shake myself out of the strange fantasy he had put me in. I didn’t want to stare at him, but really, it was all I wanted to do. His white sweatshirt made him look even more desirable for some reason, and I had the insane urge to push his hair out of his face.Why would a person be as handsome as that? Then, my eyes fell on his lips, and I confirmed that it wasn’t just a drunken desire to kiss him again.What if Sadie suddenly pushed the door open, and saw me staring at him like that?The thought of that seemed to jar me to my senses, and I tapped him gently. He stirred, and turned away from me.I took a deep breath. He had taken that enc

50EMILY’S POV.I couldn’t believe my ears. Derella was gay? She… she liked girls? Like… she really liked girls instead of boys?Woah, that was mind-blowing. Really mind-blowing. One was being bullied continuously, and another was gay. Were there more secrets that their seemingly perfect family held?“I’ve known it ever since I realized I loved being with Katie out of everyone I know. She’s just… I don’t know… really mysterious. She’s pretty, sweet, has a nice voice, and is completely dependable.” She said, with a smile, as she looked down at her hands.“Was that why you didn’t want Derel to involve her with Vanessa?” I asked, and she nodded.“Well, she’s involved now. They’re talking about a proper restraining order, since Vanessa caught him in the boys bathroom, and refused to leave him. You know… Derel’s just all mouth. He can’t win a fight against a six-year-old.”“He’s that bad?” I asked, looking at Derel.“He’s awful. Well, don’t tell anyone. The family will go crazy if they kno
