Chapter 56
“Oh, it’s Luna Ella’s birthday.” Allison mumbled.
Ethan nodded his head. “Yeah. I wanted to come ask if you could assist me in choosing some presents for my mother.”
Teresa was standing there, feeling awkward. She felt she was disturbing their conversation.
“Well, we were about to have our lunch.” She let out to Ethan.
“Yeah, sure, you can both have lunch, I can wait for Allison outside.” Ethan said to Teresa and turned to Allison.
Allison was too perplexed to say anything. She could not refuse to help Ethan. She should also buy something for Luna Ella, so she agreed.
“Okay, wait for me. I am coming after lunch.”
Ethan left the cafeteria. Teresa sat down on the chair and raised a brow.
“What?” Allison asked.
“You agreed to go with him.”
“Yeah. I thought I should buy something for his mother too. She is a sweet person.”
“Are you sure you Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
don’t have any soft spots for him?”
“What? Why did you ask that?”
“Because you could have disagreed. But you could not refuse him. You tried to stay away, but he always comes to you to melt you again.”
Allison looked away. “I don’t want to fall for him again, Teresa.
Teresa patted her head. “Don’t take any pressure, and do whatever your heart says. If you still like him, then give him a chance and stop worrying too much.”
Allison looked at her with a surprised face. “Giving him a chance? No way.”
Teresa chuckled. “You have to set up your mind. I can see a lot of confusion in your behavior. One time you were fighting with his brother, and then you went to explain the relationship between him and you to him. The next time he comes to you to melt your heart, your soft heart starts to beat faster for him.‘
Allison blinked. “Why did you take Ryan here? He has nothing to do with it.”
“Allison, these two brothers really made you the center of attention.”
Allison massaged her forehead. “My father is their father’s beta and best friend. That is the main problem here.
Even if I try, I can’t ignore them. I have to see them at every party. I have to attend every get together even though I don’t want to.”
Teresa observed her and asked,
“What about you and Ryan?”
Hearing his name, she looked down on her food. She was stirring her food with a spoon.
“Ryan is different. I like his company, but it is risky. My father does not like him much. So he always told me to stay far away from him.”
“I asked about
out you, not you
you, not your father.”
Allison looked at her. “Me? What about me?”
“What do you feel, Allison?”
She smiled awkwardly. “What are you saying, Teresa? You know me.”
“That’s why I am asking.”
“We could be good friends. But his mentality is different. He does not like to make friends. with girls. Who does that?”
“Then what does he do?”
“What?”
“He does not make friends with girls. Then what does he want from you?”
“I don’t know. I told him that I was not one of his side chicks. So he should maintain some distance, and he approved my request. He told me that we should do that.”
“So now, you two are anti–parties.”
Allison laughed, and Teresa joined her. They talked for a while.
After having lunch, they left the cafeteria and headed outside.
They saw Ethan leaning on his car and talking with Wade. When he saw Allison, he stood
straight.
“Bye. Take care of yourself. And…” Teresa paused and went close to Allison’s ear.
“This boy is crazy over you now. So be careful. Because what if I saw a post tomorrow about my best friend waking up in the pack house with our future Alpha Ethan Iversen?”
“What the hell!” Allison yelled out, which made others look at her.
She hit Teresa’s arm. Teresa laughed hard. “Okay, okay. I was just kidding. Go now. See you tomorrow.”
Allison gave an angry nod and walked to Ethan.
Ethan opened the door for her, and she got in the car.
Everyone was watching them. But no one dared to talk about Allison today. Because they knew she had a high profile. She was not an ordinary girl but the pack’s beta’s daughter. Her father was the second in command in the pack, who could cut off their father’s necks in a second.
Ethan started the car. The car ride was silent. He kept glancing at her from time to time.
“You yelled at your friend. What happened?” He spoke out.
“She said something impossible. That’s why.” She replied coldly.
“Okay.” Ethan replied. He understood that it was his time to take her cold attitude since he had done so wrong with her.
“Mom is very excited for her birthday. She even called me and told me to come home early.”
“She is the sweetest person.”
“Yeah. She is very nice. She is the best mom in the world.” Ethan replied with a smile
Allison noticed his smile. She knew Luna Ella was not his biological mother, but his smile. said how much he loved her. That woman really showed her motherly affection to him from childhood, which was why today he loved her so much.
They reached a shopping mall. They got out of the car and entered the mall.
Ethan took her to a jewelry showroom. Allison helped him with a beautiful necklace.
“It’s beautiful. You can buy it.”
“What about this bracelet?” Ethan asked.
“Oh, it’s so pretty.” She let out.
It was a two chained bracelet with a flower petal hanging.
“Do you like it?”
“Yeah. You can give her this too.”
“Hmm.
He told the staff to pack the two things and then he paid for them.
Allison also bought a pair of earrings from that store. Though that store was pricey, she had
so she her father’s credit card. She did not like to spend much. But it’s about Luna Ella, excitedly picked up a pair of small, beautiful earrings.
They exited the shopping mall and returned to the car.
There was a restaurant in the vicinity of the shopping mall. Allison’s eyes swiftly turned to the restaurant as soon as Ethan began the car.
“What are they doing together?” She remarked as she gazed at the two people who were seated next to the window.
Ryan was sitting there with Ethan’s ex–girlfriend.
“Who cares?” Ethan responded and started driving.
Allison tilted her head to the side in order to have a better view of them as the car
accelerated.
“Hey! Julie is crying.”
“So?” Ethan asked, unbothered.
She turned to him. “She is your ex. You were in a relationship with her two months ago. Remember how you told me in front of everyone that she was the only one that mattered in your eyes?”
Ethan replied with an upset tone,
“I lied. I was not in a relationship with her. Our patch–up was just acting to show you. I never loved her.”
She was stunned. “You did what?”
He gave a slight nod of the head before replying, “Every time you were hurt, I felt that too.
Even if I was hurt in a fight, when you got pushed, I came running to you. Because you were always in my heart.” 1
Allison tightened her fists to calm her heart. She did not want to listen to him. She did not want to fall for him once again. But he did not stop talking and continued,
“My eyes were always on you. I was just trying to avoid the truth and cover up how I really felt to myself by running away from it.
I have always loved you, Allison.”
