Falling for my ex’s uncle novel

Chapter 67 After Alex menage , he immedurely good up and walked toward the door .

Just as he was about to leave , he suddenly turned back , paused The word of Tenlapse hack onto the couch , watching his hurried figure disappear A curious thought flickered through my mind was it something to do with the Herrera family † Or was it the Herrera Groupi Seeing his urgent expression .

I didnt dare ask any more questions Even if I di I doubted he would There was something about Alex , something hidden deep inside him , that made me think there were far too many secrets he kept to himself , Not long after .

Angela knocked on my door .

She looked me up and down , and when she saw I seemed unharmed , a hint of suspicion appeared in her eyes .

What was Mr.

Herrera doing in your room in broad daylight ? .

Iglored around then quipped .

Im starting to think youve set up surveillance in here .

I plopped back onto the couch, spreading my legs out in a languid , half dead pose .

Before I could say anything else , Angela grabbed me and yanked me upright.

Laurel , how can you still be sleeping ! Can you have some sense Langer ! I shot her a sideways glance before letting myself flop back onto the couch again .

Calmly , I said , Alex got a call and left .

Angela gave a short mm her expression turning serious , like she had something on her mind .

Instinctively , I sat up straight , a smirk tugging at my lips .

I watched her closely , sensing she had something she wasnt telling me Angela was normally carefree , so whenever I saw her look so troubled , I knew she had something up her sleeve .

Come of on , spill .

Which rich young man caught your eye this time ? of Angelas eyes , usually so bright and full of life , now held a flicker of uncertainty .

She bit her lip , her voice soft as she asked .

Do you think someone like me , with my personality, could ever have someone like me ? Angela … are you sick ? I asked , reaching out to touch her forehead .

No lever .

Why does it seem like Im the one who almost drowned , but you look worse than me ? I frowned , eyeing her suspiciously .

Ive fallen for someone , Angela said softly , clearing her throat .

A man .

Love at first sight Her voice was unusually calm , and her expression was as indifferent as ever .

1 blinked , stunned .

I stared at her , unable to believe what I was hearing .

After all , in Angelas world , love didnt exist .

She didnt believe in such a thing as love at first sight .

For her , relationships between men and women were purely about needs and exchanges .

Over the years Id known her , shed had plenty of male friends , but none of them ever became boyfriends She didnt believe in promises of love , either .

Shird always said , Only stupid women believe in men who promise to love th them forever .

She didnt trust such things .

She couldnt even guarantee she could love someone for life , so how could she believe someone else would I knew Angela had little serise of security , and most of it stemmed from her father .

As a child , sher was showered with love from him .

He always brought her gifts and chocolates whenever he went on business trips .

She and her mother had a better relationship than with her dad .

But then , one day .

Angela saw her father with another child , and that was when the truth hit her .

What she had I thought was love was maybe just an That day , Angela cried for hours , wiping her tears as she said , Im never going to like my dad again .

1/2 Chapter 67 I remember thinking , maybe never having having that kind of love isnt so bad .

At least when its gone , it doesnt hurt as much .

After that , I rarely saw Angela cry .

Even when people bullied her , she rarely shed a tear anymore .

Angela , are you on something ! I asked , my voice a little too sharp .

I couldnt help but wonder what kind of person could possibly catch Angelas eye ! Back in high school , she had liked a boy .

Not just any boy , but the schools heartthrob handsome , smart , the top student in the entire grade .

Too bad he never even looked at her .

To be more accurate , he thought she was too dumb .

I still bland myself for that .

If only Angela hadnt been stuck with me every day , crammed into the bus to school , maybe that guy , seeing Angela in a luxury car , would have agreed to her advances .

Who wouldnt want to skip the struggle for a few decades ! Her first confession ended in failure .

Later , she liked a transfer student from another school , a guy who was an art major .

He looked like he walked straight out of a manga tall handsome , with bright eyes and a winning smile .

But Angela never confessed .

The guy was so popular that after every class , his drawer was stuffed with letters .

Angela didnt want to write letters ; her handwriting was so bad that sometimes she couldnt even read it herself .

More than that , she didnt want to confess .

She had seen him smile as he accepted letters and gifts from girls , only to throw them straight into the trash afterward .

Angela thought he was too scary .

Who knows , maybe hed sell her out and count the money he made from it .

I dont even know why I like him .

Angela said with a frown , sighing in frustration .

Its not like I did anything special .

I just looked at him a little longer .

You confessed ? I asked , my curiosity piqued Arent you going to ask who I like first ! Angela replied with a playful grin .

Whos the lucky guy ? Someone from the Parks family .

Angela said , her voice barely above a whisper .

I froze , the smile immediately falling from my face .

My heart raced , my breath catching in my throat .

A cold breeze seemed to pass over me .

shuddered involuntarily .

Angela paused , sensing my change in demeanor .

She stared at me , confused .

Laurel , are you okay ? You look pale Im fine .

I quickly replied , trying to shake it off .

Just a little cold .

and I Without saying a word , Angela ran to her bed , grabbed a thin blanket , and wrapped it around me .

She looked at me anxiously , her expression filled with worry .

Laurel , I think Im done for .

When I close my eyes , all I see is him .

As she spoke , she shut her eyes , a small smile mall smile tugging at her lips .

When Angela falls for someone , she gives her heart fully .

But her feelin feelings never last long The real reason is simple ; when the other person wants to take things further , she gets bored .

At the * .
