Falling for my ex’s uncle novel

Chapter 56 I took a large gulp of my wine , trying to suppress the bitterness rising in my chest .

h was hard to imagine that when Alex was a child at a time when he needed a mothers love the most he was met with a woman incapable of loving him I wondered when , after repeated tests and requests for affection , Alex had finally come to to accept or perh -or perhaps realize that his mother didnt love This bracelet is too valuable .

I cant accept it Alex chuck , d , his eyes narrowing with a touch of suspicion .

Youll accept ept what I give I give , but not what she gives ? I was stunned , his words leaving me speechless .

It took a while before I managed to retort , its not the s Come on , lets go inside .

The dinners about to start .

Alex said , giving me a complicated glance .

Arent you planning to get me drunk ? Just dont end up so drunk yourself that you cant carry on with your plan .

With that , Alex turned and walked toward the banquet hall .

I furrowed my brow , my hand clutching the wine glass tightly as I sighed deeply .

Looking at the bracelet now dangling from my wrist , a wave of unease washed over me .

What exactly was Alex trying to do ? Why did he have to tell his mother about our wedding ? Laurel has he left ? Angela tiptoed up beside me , glancing around nervously before pating her chest .

Angela , youre really not being fair .

I was just giving you two some space to talk , she whispered in my car , her voice filled with curiosity .

Did he overhear anything ! Do you think so ? 1 shot Angela a look Angela smiled and clinked her glass against mine .

If he heard everything , why dont you take one for the team and get yourself drunk ? Maybe then youll have the chance to take control really the I rolled my eyes .

Do you n think hes the kind of guy who cant control himself ? Well , it depends on the person .

Samantha was his first love , but she never ended up with him , did she ? I sighed deeply and stared directly into Angelas eyes .

Once unfaithful , always unforgivable Well , maybe not , she whispered conspiratorially .

I overheard something in the bathroom just now , What ? I raised an eyebrow , seeing the excitement written all over Angelas face .

Apparently , Samantha and Mr.

Herreras friend never actually got together .

I was all a misunderstanding .

And that misunderstanding is what led to Samantha and Mr.

Herrera breaking up So.

Samantha wants to get back together with Alex ? Angela squinted her eyes .

I really want to know who the third party was back then .

And want to hear another version ? 1 shos ber a side glance .

Im hungry .

Angela grinned , tugging my arm as she led me toward the banquet hall .

Apparently , back then , Samantha didnt know Alex would become the future head of the Herrera Group .

She wasnt even actually with Mr.

Herrera .

Their relationships was unclear , but she had feelings for someone else .

And that someone is here tonight someone with a close relationship to Mr.

Herrera Chapter 56 Then what Dont you want to know which version is true and which is false ? And who this third person is? Angela pondered for a moment , then continued eagerly .

Anyone who could make Samantha fall for them must be extraordinary 1 laughed softly .

Angela , 1 think you should start an entertainment company Angela froze for a moment , then wrapped her arm around mine .

Laurel , are you spying on my mind ? Why dont you have your husband sell me a make in Xilo Films ? I could get a position and climb the ranks ! Why not ? Maybe you could even get him to sign Samantha as a talent .

Who knows , it could turn into a big profit Funny y you mention that if Samantha werent from the Harvey family , thered be plenty of film companies lining up to sign her .

With her looks , it would a shame not to have her as an actress .

Of course , Id love to sign you too , but now that youre Mrs.

Herrera , you probably dont need a job anymore Leave it to a best friend to bring up the one thing Ive been trying to forget .

Ever since I leh my job .

I had been looking for something new , but every resume I sent seemed to disappear without a trace I couldnt help but think that Austins family might be trying to set me up Not only had they gotten Maliyah fired , but now I couldnt land any suitable job either .

Got any jobs to recommend ? Angela looked at me in disbelief , poking me on the head .

Laurel , are you serious ? Youre still trying to win over your man , and youre thinking about finding a Iswanted her hand away , but she suddenly grabbed my wrist , her eyes practically sparkling .

ajobr Where did d you get that bracelet ? Did Mr.

Herrera give it to you ? | hesitated for a moment , then said , Sort of Angela smiled slyly .

Lo Looks like Mr.

Herrera really treats you well .

Its his birthday , but he gave you a gift a waiter to o the ba banquet hall .

Before I could respond , we were Angela was about to pull me to an empty seat when she stopped in surprise .

Every seat was labeled with a name .

And , predictably , Angela and I had been assigned to sit next to Samantha .

We hadnt even fully sat down when a woman , dressed head to toe in top tier luxury brands , took a moment polite smile as she saw Angela What I hadnt expected was that the person sitting beside her was none other than Kailyn .

cy me , before finally offering a When Kailyn saw Angela and me sining together , an expression of disdain flickered in her eyes .

Some people really have good luck , relying on someone elses identity to sit with us .

The gaze of the other young women at the table immediately fell on me , their curiosity palpable .

One of them even asked , Miss Adams , which family are you from ? Youre a new face .

Care to introduce yourself ? Angela , ever poised , tightly grasped my hand and smiled warmly .

This is my best friend , Laurel When Kailyn heard my name , her face faltered for a second , a look of surprise flashing in her eyes .

She then spoke coldly , I didnt know you were Parks .

Il prople mistake you for one of the Parks family , youd better clarify .

We only have one daughter in our family Miss Parks has such a strong reputation , who would dare impersonate you ? I replied coolly , locking eyes with her .

I had no interest in being a part of the Parks family , and Id rather forget that last name altogether .

It only represented shame , hate , and a past I couldnt forgive or f or forget 2/3
