Chapter 0220 Judy was about to learn that the hard way .
Everybody was staring at me in school .
I tried hard to keep a low profile , but it was difficult when literally everybody and their mother saw the news .
I was supposedly in a committed relationship with Gavin Landry , or so the article implied .
He texted me this morning and told me that he was going to take care of it and not worry , but I knew the damage had already been done .
Everybody saw it and everybody was talking about it .
I was so embarrassed .noveldrama
It was also extremely inaccurate I wasnt in a relationship with Gavin Landry .
We were simply keeping things casual .
It was nothing more than sex .
But I knew it would make both me and Gavin look bad if I came clean to everybody , so I kept my mouth sealed shut .
Its not as bad as you think , Nan said , wrapping an arm through mine .
Honestly .
Youre going to be fine .
Theyll forget all about it soon enough .
I frowned at her , my stomach feeling unsettled .
How do you know ? I asked , wrapping my arms around my body .
This is a nightmare .
We were supposed to be lowkey .
She shrugged and glanced around at everyone who was walking by ; they kept sparing curious glances at me and whispering to one another .
My cheeks burned with embarrassment .
Im sure something more interesting will happen soon enough and then they will forget all about you .
I let out a sigh .
I hope youre right , I breathed .
We went our separate ways , and I tried my best in each class , but it was hard when I felt like everyone was whispering about me behind my back .
The only thing I truly had to look forward to was seeing Gavin after school .
He will make things better no doubt ; I just had to hold onto that hope and trust him .
I waited outside the school for Leroy ; Nan had her after school study session and couldnt wait with me , so I stood outside the school grounds alone .
I glanced at the time with a frown ; it wasnt like him to be late .
Typically , he was here before I arrived , not the other way around .
I sat on one of the nearby benches and put my elbows on my knees .
My mind was whirling with the media ; I couldnt believe everybody was talking about my relationship with Gavin Landry .
Even my professors seemed extra curious today .
A familiar car stopped in the street in front of me and when I lifted my gaze , my entire body froze .
1 knew it wasnt Leroy , but my thoughts confirmed when the door opened , and the driver stepped were out of the car .
Tell me it isnt true , Ethan said as he rounded the car and approached me .
Ethan ? I asked , not believing my eyes .
I wasnt expecting him to just show up at my school like this .
We were in public , and any outburst could make him look bad , not to mention ruin any chance he has to Chapter 0220 marry Irene .
Hes already on thin ice with her .
What are you doing here ? I saw the news , Judy , he said , shaking his head as he stopped inches from me .
Tell me its not true .
Are you truly in a relationship with him ? I folded my arms across my chest and narrowed my eyes at him .
I dont see how its any of your concern whether its true or not , I told him simply .
He scowled at me , and I could see the pure anger on his face as his lip curled in disgust .
Because hes going to be my father in law ! He nearly hissed , spit flying from his mouth .
Dont you see how fucked up that is ! I cant believe you are having a relationship with him ! You left me for another woman , Ethan .
What I do isnt your business anymore , I told him , not willing to back down .
I dont know why you are here trying to harass me , but it needs to stop .
L I tried to walk around him , not sure where I was going to go with Leroy not here yet , but I knew I couldnt stay around Ethan any longer .
However , he wasnt going to back down without a fight .
He grabbed my arm with force , spinning me around to face him .
I wont let you go back to him , Judy , he said through his teeth .
You belong to me and Im not letting you go that easily .
