Invisible to My First Love by Lypstical Novel

Chapter 174 Chapter 174 Harper I held my breath , hoping to hear a specific answer from Dean . " No , he's not the one I live with . " 94 35 vouchers My shoulders slumped slightly with disappointment and his next words only made me feel worse . " But he was here right before I left to pick you up from the airport ." " Will he be back ? " "No. He traveled to Spain ." " Did he know that I was coming here ? " " Do you really want the truth ? " " Yes . He knew . " " I see ." My voice cracked as I faced the floor , feeling my own heart break a little .

Maddox wrapped his arm around me for comfort and he whispered to me to take it easy . I didn't know how much I needed him in Sydney until that moment because as soon as he told me that , I took a few deep breaths to compose myself , then smiled through the pain in my heart to keep the conversation going . " If he's not the one you live with , " I began , my voice now steady , " then who is it ? " " You wouldn't know this person even if I told you . I actually can't wait to introduce you to everyone . There's my mom , Uncle- " " Whoa , not so fast . " I gestured with the palm of my hand .

" I don't think we've gotten to that part yet ." Maddox nodded in agreement . I knew he wanted to add to the conversation , but he chose to be silent for my sake and let me take the lead as that conversation was all about me . " You can tell me about all those people after we have that DNA test , " I said to him . " Right , sorry about that . I'm just so thrilled that you're here . I already know in my heart that you're my sister and your aunt confirmed it . But I can understand why you would still want that DNA test .

Still , there's no harm in telling you about a few notable family members . " " And this is the part where I feel like taking a tour of the house , " Maddox finally chimed in as he got up . " Good , " Dean's tone made it seem like he was glad he was leaving . But Maddox paid little attention to that as he looked down at me . " Call me if you need me . " 15:59 Thu , Feb 5 Chapter 174 94 35 vouchers As he started walking away , Dean's eyes never left his sight . " Don't get lost . This place is like a maze ." " It's not much of a maze , but thanks for the advice .

" Maddox dismissively waved his hand as he walked away . Even after Maddox turned at the corner , Dean kept looking in that direction . It was only when I said something that he looked back at me . " He's a good guy , you know , " I said . He didn't seem to agree with me as he lightly shook his head . " I'm surprised that you two are still going strong . I get it . He's going through some shit but now , he's about to be more arrogant than ever . Don't tell me you didn't see his attitude ever since you two got off that jet .

How could he not be arrogant now that he's worth at least nine hundred billion dollars ? " I gave him a warm smile . " Before we leave this place , you two will talk things out and I'm hoping that afterwards , everything's going to be alright ." He scoffed again , getting up to sit next to me . " He's the one with a problem . It's definitely not me and you know this . Anyway , enough about him . We need to talk about something that actually matters to both of us ." I caught the subtle jab at Maddox , but chose not to comment on it because it wasn't going to make any difference .

" I'm actually glad he's gone because there's so much more you need to know . I know you wanted him here , but come on . This is a family issue . It's enough that he came with you to Sydney . So , we can go to my private hospital tomorrow morning for that DNA test . We should have the results after twenty four hours . I'll be honest , I still don't know why you need that when you know who you are to me ." " I just feel the need to have it . " " Do you regret coming here ? " " What ? Why would you ask me that ?

" " I told you that dad was here and he left despite knowing that you were on your way ." I smiled painfully . " It doesn't matter . I came here to see you ." " When the time is right , you two will get to meet . I think he's scared to face you . He's not ready , but everyone else is . That includes Hank Beauregard , dad's younger brother and Rachel Beauregard . She's the youngest among the three of them . Uncle Hank has two children and Aunt Rachel has three . Since I was born after you , that makes you my older sister ." I grinned . " I always had Anna as my older sister .

I never thought someone would ever call me that ." " Does she know you're here ? " " No , she doesn't . I never really told you about her . It's complicated ." I thought about how it was always so painful for me to talk about Anna , but ever since I'd received that memory card from Kate , everything felt much easier to handle when it came to my sister . I got lost in 15:59 Thu , Feb 5 Chapter 174 : thought right at that moment , and it was only when Dean spoke that I paid attention again . " Here's an important fact . Among all of us , you were born first .

" " And yet I'm very late to the party . " I didn't even mean it jokingly . ( 94 ) 35 vouchers Dean must have felt bad commenting on that because he immediately changed the topic to lighten the mood . " Anything big planned for your birthday next weekend ? " I raised my eyebrows in pleasant surprise . " How did you know that it's my birthday next weekend ? I don't think I ever said that ." " Dad mentioned it before he left . " That alone brought just a little bit of warmth in my heart . " So he still remembers ," I said quietly . " What exactly did he say ?

" He was just about to tell me when he paused at the sound of movement along the stairs from the foyer , making him smile proudly . " I told you that I'm currently staying with someone and you're about to meet her ." The fact that it was a girl already set off an idea of who she might have been to him and it made me eager to see her . When she walked into the living room , she gasped . " Harper ! You're so much prettier in person ! " I smiled awkwardly as I didn't know how to react . " Uh ... thanks .

" " No need to be so dramatic , Tracy , " Dean chimed in , rising to his feet and approaching her . He stopped right beside her , threw his arm over her shoulder and before he could even speak , I figured it out . " So this is who you're staying with ," I said . " I'm glad I got to meet your girlfriend on my first day here ." " Eww ! Gross ! " Tracy pushed Dean away . " Not even in the next life can this jerk right here be my boyfriend ." " That makes the two of us ! " He seemed just as disgusted . My head tilted with curiosity . " If she's not your girlfriend , then who is she ?

" " Harper , meet Tracy- " She scoffed at him . " You already told her my name . " " Shut up ." Dean playfully snapped at her . " She's my cousin . Actually , your cousin too . She's Uncle Hank's daughter ." She extended her hand towards me . " It's such a pleasure to finally meet you , cousin ! " 15:59 Thu , Feb 5 Chapter 174 " Ugh ! You have to forgive Tracy , " Dean said , " She's twenty but acts like she's thirteen at times ." " Oh , shut up , " she said to him . ( 94 ) 35 vouchers " It's okay , " I assured both of them , holding out my hand towards her as well .

" It's nice to meet you too . " For as long as neither of us said anything while we shook hands , she wouldn't stop staring at me from head to toe . She didn't even try to hide it . It felt like she wasn't being genuinely kind to me . Maybe I was wrong to feel that way . But there was something in her eyes that made me feel like she was judging me . " Hey , " Dean said to her as he tapped her on the shoulder . It was only then that she looked away to pay attention to him . " What ? " " Did you see us outside when we arrived ? " he asked . " Nope ! I was in the shower .

Can't you tell from the scent of my favorite moisturizer ? " He rolled his eyes . " Like I actually care about that . Anyway , she didn't come alone . Her boyfriend's with her . " She gasped loudly with wide eyes , pulling her hand away from mine . " Maddox Aldridge is here ? " " Yup ." " No way ! " " He's actually touring the house . I'm surprised you didn't run into him . On second thought , he must be on the other side of- " " Which way did he go when he left from here ? Where is he ? " She looked around like she couldn't believe it . Her reaction was a mix of delight and anger .

Even though I didn't understand it , my eyes narrowed as I wondered how she knew him .
