บททั้งหมดของ Oops! I Sexted My Boss On New Year's Eve: บทที่ 151 - บทที่ 160

ALICENothing was said in the drive to the airport.I sat in the front while Rory was in the backseat, all alone. My father’s eyes were on the road the entire time, but that was as far as I’d noticed. I hadn’t looked at him once. To say I was upset by how things turned out was an understatement. I imagined that something like this would happen and I even prepared for it, but that didn’t make the situation more bearable. At the end of the day, it still felt like our family had been split into two parts, and even though I would now have Rory with me, I felt more alone than ever. Right now, I wished more than ever that my parents were more supportive. I couldn’t understand for the life of me why they expected support when they messed up, but couldn’t overlook anything I ever did. It took ages for us to arrive, but that was only because I was so anxious to get out of this town. Dad parked the car, pulled the brakes, then sat with his hands on his lap. I didn’t open the door and get o

ALICEThe appointment with the doctor went better than I could've expected and I left his office feeling so much better."See?" Thelma said to me as she pulled me closer. She had a big smile on her face. "I told you everything would work out, didn't I?"The doctor said I didn't have much to worry about. Though there were risks, he assured me that there was a high chance my baby would be okay. That relieved me beyond belief.It was one less thing I had to worry about, that was for sure. Now, I could focus on other things. Finding a place to stay was at the top of that list, but last night, Francesca told me that she'd be offended if I left her home so quickly. "There's no point at all!" she had argued. "I have a lot of room and I could use the company, too. Besides, I don't think it's right for you to be alone right now, Alice. You've been through a lot. Let someone take the reins every once in a while."I hadn't told her about the pregnancy yet, but I was considering telling her ton

ALICEOpening day came sooner than I expected and I was a nervous wreck all morning. Thelma was right beside me, assuring me that I had no reason to worry and that everything was going great, but then we ran out of icing sugar to make more frosting and I had to go get some. It had to be me because Thelma was helping out with the decorations along with the staff Francesca hired, and Francesca wasn't around because she had an appointment. There was no one else who could go. "You're sure you're okay to drive?" Thelma asked me as I headed toward the door with my car keys in my hand. It was more convenient to do things myself rather than to wait around for the driver, so I was driving again. "Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?""You seem a little tense.""I'm fine. Once we have icing sugar, we'll be able to finish up the rest of the donuts. I'll be back in a few."We had tons of ingredients, but Rory and I spent so much time testing out different frostings that we ran out and I forgot to mention

ALICEI decided that the best time to leave would be when there were still guests around and both Francesca and Thelma were busy, so they wouldn’t ask me too many questions. Sneaking around like this felt so wrong, but at this point, I knew I had to take action and listen to my heart. So, I turned to Rory and told him I’d be right back, then I nervously made my way to the door. I caught Thelma’s eye and she gave me a questioning look. I mouthed that I’d be right back, but looked away quickly so she wouldn’t approach me with questions I wouldn’t be able to answer. My anxiety was sky-high as I got in my car, started it, and backed out of the parking space. God, I had no idea what to expect moving forward, but I had a hell of a lot of hope. That was what I held onto as I drove to his place. Many things could go wrong with this impulsive plan of mine, starting with the fact that he might not even be home. I told myself that if he wasn’t, I wouldn’t wait for him—I’d turn this car arou

THEODORE"I see you're awake," Granny proclaimed as she neared the bed. "I'm so relieved that you're alright, Alice. You gave us quite a shock.""I feel much better now," she replied with a smile as her eyes met mine. I brought her fingers up to my lips and kissed each one. I was so fucking relieved that she wasn't mad at me—I fully expected her rage. I messed with her emotions and that was something I wouldn't forgive myself for anytime soon. There were other things I could've done instead of faking amnesia, but that would only push Mom and Felix away, and I wouldn't have the evidence I need to keep them locked up. Naturally, I was the only one who thought this was a good plan. Granny advised me against it time and time again.I knew there was a significant risk that I’d be ruining the only good thing that ever happened to me, but the thought of Felix or even Mom getting to her paralyzed me with fear. I couldn’t let that happen, and with them on the loose and filled with resentment,
