Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law

Chapter 0229 +25 BONUS Nan … I whispered .

What is it ? as she Im so sorry … she said hoarsely pulled her eyes away from me to look at the ground .

But I cant stay here … Wait what ? I asked , my brows raising , Why not ? Whats wrong ? Please , talk to me … She shook her head ; she was trying hard to keep the tears from spilling out of her eyes .

I have to go ….

she whispered .

Before I could say another word , she was running past me and towards the front door .

Nan ! I called after her , but it was no use , the front door was slamming shut and Nan was running out of the mansion .

I stood , confused .

I looked back at Chester who released a shaky breath of his own ; he blinked a few times as if he had now just realized where he was .

He looked at me and then at Harper who was staring at him questionably .

She raised her brows and folded her arms across her chest as she slid off the counter .

What was that all about ? She asked him .

He didnt answer her , but instead , he looked at me .

Who was that ? He asked me , taking me by surprise .

What ? I asked him .

Why ? Just answer the question , he said again , more firmly and making me take a step back .

His eyes had gone wild , and my heart was beating fast against my ribcage .

Something was wrong and I was determined to figure out what the hell it was .

My best friend , I answered , narrowing my eyes at him .

Nan Rugby .

His expression softened for a moment .

Nan … he whispered as if he was tasting the name on his tongue , and from the look on his face , I would say he liked how it tasted .

It made me even more curious ; I had never seen her act like this before and it was strange behavior for Chester as well .

I looked over my shoulder at the closed doorway , ideas circulating through my mind .

Did you know her or something ? Harper asked , a twinge of jealousy in her tone as her face grew impossibly red with pent up frustration .

He looked at her and I could see the apology on his lips , but he didnt speak it out loud .

Instead , he turned away from her and started to walk past me and out the front door as well .

He didnt run like Nan did , but he walked with determination .

I couldnt help it … I had to follow him .

I needed to know exactly what was going on and why it had to do with my best friend .

I chased after him and we ended up outside on the front patio .

Chester was glancing around at the front yard with a timid frown on his face .

1/2 Chapter 0229 +25 BONUS I could practically hear his heart beating rapidly in his chest .

I was also surprised that Nan was able to leave so quickly .

She must have gotten into her car and peeled away , leaving no trace of her presence .

Chester leaned against the railing of the porch and sighed , his shoulders sagging slightly .

The front door swung open and then slammed shut ; I didnt need to turn to see who it was that had followed us outside .

I looked over my shoulder at a very pissed of Harper who was glaring at Chester as if he had just slapped her .

She had her arms wrapped around her body and her lips were pressed in a thin line .

What the fuck , Chester .

Who was that woman ? She asked , her brows furrowed as she glared at him .

How could you chase after her and leave me alone like that ? Im sorry , Harper , he murmured .

But it was a mistake to make out with you like that in the kitchen .

It shouldnt have happened .

You were right when you said we shouldnt be having a relationship while we work together .

His words took me by surprise ; Chester wasnt usually the logical one .

He was a flirt and never cared about such a thing before .

It seemed to have taken Harper by surprise too because her mouth fell open .

W … what are you saying , Chester ? She asked , I could hear the hurt in her voice as she fought to keep her emotions in check .

He sighed and ran his fingers through his blond shaggy hair before he turned ot face her .

His eyes were so serious , and it made Harpers eyes grow wide as she took a step away from him .

Im saying that we cant see each other anymore , he told her firmly .

Im sorry … but whatever this is … he said , motioning between the two of them .

Its over .
