Falling for my ex’s uncle novel

Chapter 38 The officer seated at the desk , organizing documents in his hands , exhibited a trace of weariness .

Without even raising his eyes , he said , his tone carrying a hint of indifference, A moment , please Before I could finish speaking , I was interrupted .

Not paying particular attention at first , I then noticed someone sitting on a bench not far behind .

who spoke leisurely , Can I take him back now ? My heart suddenly skipped a beat .

The deep , resonant voice of the man behind me froze me in place momentarily , rendering me unable to move .

Years had passed , yet I still couldnt forget that voice perhaps I never would .

I took a deep breath , gripping my slightly trembling hands tightly and thinking there was nothing to be nervous about .

Perhaps that person had already forgotten all about me after so many years .

Mr.

Parks , please sign here , and you can take him away .

Its really not a big deal ; you couldve just made a phone call .

The officer managed to squeeze a smile on his weary face , glancing sideways as he walked over to the man behind me with the documents and a pen .

The man picked up the pen casually and signed his name .

As he stood up , the officer walked over to my side and frowned at me with a voice devoid of his earlier gentleness .

Are you Javier Peters sister ? I paused for a moment .

Noticing his gaze seemed to fall on me , I nodded hurriedly .

Wait here .

Ill bring him over .

His voice was devoid of emotion .

Alright , thanks , I responded softly , thinking it wasnt a severe issue , but still puzzled why , having been the one beaten , was Javier being detained .

At this moment , footsteps echoed from outside , followed by a womans cooing , soft voice .

Isaac , is Dexter not out yet ? Taking a deep breath , I looked at the woman who entered.

Dressed in a Chanel pink suit that accentuated her flawless skin , she threw herself into his arms weakly upon seeing the man .

He glanced at her , his stern face betrayed a hint of annoyance.

Kailyn , youve only just come to Nifelheim and are already causing this for me : Isaac , since youre in Nifelheim today , why not go to Alexs birthday party with me tomorrow ? There might be some unexpected surprises , the woman named Kailyn suggested .

Kailyn , why make things difficult for him ? Isaac paused for a second before replying .

I dont care .

I like Alex , and Grandpa has already approved of it , the woman shot back .

Listening to the twos conversation , I couldnt remain calm any longer .

Turning to leave , I felt as though Id been drained , barely able to lift my feet , and my head buzzing dizzily .

If I heard right , they were supposed to hit up Alexs bday party tomorrow .

In my six years with Austin , I never heard him mention any ties with the Parks family in Wadiff City .

Six years later , that handsome mug didnt change much slightly furrowed thick brows , deep gaze .

Pretty similar to the dude in that pic.

I never planned on finding the guy in the pic , yet here we are , with God pulling a mean prank on me .

Right then , Javier walked out of the interrogation room on the first floor .

Spotting me , he froze for a second .

Just as he was about to call out to me , I immediately stepped forward .

Seeing his bruised face , I blurted , Got roughed up ? A cop nearby frowned and corrected me , No rough stuff .

He got a bump when someone pulled him while drunk .

Meanwhile , a teenage boy descended from the second floor , a smirk on his lips , throwing a loaded glance at Javier .

I was boiling inside how could those injuries just be from a bump ? What exactly was going on ? I took a deep breath , fixing a heavy stare on Javier .

He shot me an indifferent glance , a mix of restraint and defiance in his eyes , chill as ice .

Laurel , lets jet .

I nodded quietly , pulling out a pen to sign him out when that brat Dexter shot Javier another taunting glance .

Dont bump into the wrong people in the future , got it ? 1/2 +59 Chapter 38 Then I clocked the scratch marks on Javiers arm , and a fire of rage lit up inside me .

Memories of that pitiful boy by my uncles coffin came flooding back .

Fighting back the sorrow and anger , I slowly looked up at Javier .

From a bump ? Who did it ? Hearing me , the officer there paused , scoffing , A grown man making a fuss over trivial matters with a young girl , and hes supposed to be a college student ? How was he raised by his parents ? Upon hearing those words , I couldnt contain my anger anymore .

I slammed my bag heavily onto the table in front of me and demanded , Who exactly did it ? I let out a sneer , and my fiery gaze locked onto the officer standing before me .

Ever since I walked into the station , the officer had been unusually cold and even a bit impatient .

It seemed that , in his eyes , people could be categorized into various classes and ranks .

Even though my voice wasnt loud , with nobody else around the station , all eyes turned to me at that moment.

Then , a middle aged man in his thirties came out from the office next door , about to explain when the womans voice came from behind him just a second later .

I did it , said Kailyn , a bright smile on her face but with disdain in her eyes .

We booked that room .

He and his friends took our spot .

So I told them to leave .

But they refused and even dirtied my bag .

Pausing slightly , she went on , That bag was worth over 60 thousand dollars , and Im not even charging him for it .

What , youre his sister ? Are you paying for it ? Can you even afford it ? She was such a pretty and sweet girl , yet her words were so harsh .

My chest felt heavy .

Gritting my teeth , I turned to Javier .

Speak up .

What exactly happened ? A flicker of hesitation appeared in Javiers eyes , but finally explained after I yelled , Laurel , the waiter led us to the private room .

Wed been there for half an hour , and they just wanted to kick us out as soon as they came .

But werent you supposed to be good at brawling ? How come you got beat up this time ? I pursued .

The cop handling the case jumped in , scolding me , Are you his family ? Thats no way to educate ! No wonder hes making a fuss over such a trivial thing with that young girl .

So , you didnt dare to hit back because theyre rich , huh ? But when you hit a barking dog , you dont need to check if its master is rich , right ? I looked at Javier , all composed .
