Invisible to My First Love by Lypstical Novel

Chapter 179 Harper : : VPN 339 B - 55 vouchers On Monday afternoon , Ella , Zoey and I chose to have lunch at a restaurant that we'd been wanting to try out on that Monday afternoon . They sat on the other side of our table while I sat alone , giving me a clear view of the difference between the two of them . Zoey barely paid attention to anything else as she was glued to her phone . She didn't even seem all that interested in checking out the menu . In the end , she went with whatever Ella and I would have .

After placing our order , Ella waited for the waitress to walk away , then leaned towards me and said , " I can't believe you belong to one of the most powerful families in the world . Who would've ever thought such a day would come ? It's crazy as fuck . So ... when do you meet your dad ? " Forcing a smile , I said , " Dean hasn't said anything about him . Do you think I should call my dad first or give it some time ? " Ella thoughtfully tilted her head . " Has Dean mentioned that your dad wants to meet you ? " I frowned a little . " No. " " Then there's no need .

When he's ready , he'll call or something . Right , Zoey ? " Zoey didn't respond , making both of us look over at her . It was just as we thought . She was still distracted and had a bright smile while typing on her phone . It was only when Ella snapped her fingers in her face that she flinched and looked up from her phone at both of us . " What's up ? " she asked , trying to play it cool . " Look who finally remembered that she's having lunch with us ! " Ella rolled her eyes . " You've been so distracted ever since you and Aiden became official . " " He's been so sweet !

" Zoey pressed her phone against her chest with a grin . " I'm actually talking to him right now . We were making date plans and ... " she trailed off then cleared her throat , like she had just realized something . " Look at me being selfish when we're talking about Harper . I'm sorry , guys . " She put her phone down and said , " You're actually Harper Beauregard . Have you actually thought about how filthy rich you are now ? " I firmly shook my head . " Until my dad acknowledges me publicly , I wouldn't consider myself one of them .

" " I can't wait for the day you go toe to toe with Tiffany ." Zoey chuckled with delight. " I can already imagine the two of you in the same boardroom ! " " Wanna know what's even better ? " Ella chimed in with a smirk . " Crushing Grayson when he's your competition ." " OMG ! Yes ! " Zoey excitedly tapped her on the shoulder . 15:37 Thu , Feb 12 Chapter 179 255 vouchers They went on and on about a few possible scenarios , each one of them sounding more ridiculous than the previous one . " You two need to chill out , " I finally said to them with amusement . " It hasn't gotten to that yet .

I still have a long way to go . Enough about that . " I felt that the longer I talked about it , the more it constantly reminded me that my father hadn't yet reached out to me . My friends must have noticed because a few seconds after I went silent and couldn't hide my frown , Zoey excitedly clasped her hands together . " Voting closes today for the Young Power List Awards ! At this point , we all know who's going to dominate . Sure , Grayson might win in one or two categories , but that won't matter . " Ella chimed in while taking her phone from her purse .

" I think even Grayson already knows that he's fucked . I need to vote again for Maddox . I don't know how many times I've visited this page ! " Zoey was back on her phone too , casually adding to the conversation when she gasped with a hand over her mouth . " What ? " Ella and I said in unison . She looked up from her phone and straight at me , her hand moving from her mouth to her chest . " What ? " I asked again . Unable to tell me , she handed the phone over to me and as soon as I looked at the screen , I had an uncomfortable feeling in my chest .

I was looking at a picture of Maddox with another girl . I knew it was taken that same day because of his brown suit and the way he styled his hair that day . The two of them were sitting too close at a table alone . I had never seen that girl before , making me wonder what was going on . My hand began to shake slightly , so I scrolled down and found other pictures of them together . They had been taken from different angles . There was even a video of the two of them as the girl whispered something in his ear and he laughed about it .

I thought I'd get some answers from the comment section , but that only made me feel worse when I read some of the comments . " Wait , is this Maddox's new catch ? " " He dumped Harper already ? " " There's no way they're just friends . Has he been cheating on Harper ? " " I knew he wouldn't last with Harper ! Haha ! " Unable to read anymore , I looked away and handed the phone back to Zoey , but Ella was so curious that she grabbed the phone . 15:37 Thu , Feb 12 Chapter 179 " What the hell ? " she said quietly . I didn't know what to say as I was still processing what I'd just seen .

When Ella handed the phone back to Zoey , her expression softened as she looked at me . " Are you okay ? " she asked . I forced a chuckle . " I'm great ." VPN 39 55 vouchers As the seconds went by , I could feel my heart racing so fast that there was a change in my temperature . I was so bothered by what I had seen . I barely ate my food when it was served . I constantly scrolled on my phone , trying to find answers . There was no one in the comments who knew who that girl was . Maddox had some explaining to do , but I couldn't reach him when I called .

He didn't even reply to my text messages . I needed to know so badly . All I knew was that he'd told me earlier that he'd be attending a charity event at 10 AM . The pictures made it look like he was in a formal setting , but who was that girl ? Ella and Zoey didn't leave my side even after coming back from lunch . They sat with me on the couch , keeping me in the middle . They were so worried that I would burst into tears or something , but it hadn't gotten to that yet . I just needed him to explain to me what was going on .

The feeling in my chest has been growing heavier with each passing hour that I didn't hear from him . Once again , I dialed his number , but it didn't even ring . I had to turn off all my notifications as people were constantly tagging me in their comments . Those pictures and videos were now everywhere , with everyone wondering the same thing . Had he broken up with me ? " Don't let these comments get to you , " Ella said . " Everyone dropping these comments is just a loser . The only one you need to talk to is him .

Until then , ignore everything that's being said about you ." She was still giving me words of encouragement when I finally received a call from Maddox . Sitting up more , I picked up with a heavy breath . " I've been calling for at least three hours now , " I said quickly , my tone impatient . " I can already guess why , " he casually said from the other end of the line . " I'll explain what's going on in person . I'll be there at 7 PM . " Talking to him only made me more anxious because it was going to take two hours before I could see him , but I told myself to wait .

I immediately left Ella's place so I could head back home . 15:37 Thu , Feb 12 Chapter 179 VPN 39 55 vouchers But now that I was alone , I knew I shouldn't have , but I constantly checked those posts over and over again . It made me want to smash my phone a few times , but I still had some patience in me . 7 PM was now just an hour away . When it was finally time , I came to the kitchen for a glass of water while wondering what was taking him so long . It had only been 5 minutes past 7 , but I just couldn't help it .

Finally , I heard the sound of an engine outside and I abandoned my glass of water , even spilling it on the counter . I didn't bother to clean it up right away . There was something more important. I opened the door as fast as I could , approaching his car with hurried footsteps before he even stepped out . I didn't want to wait until he would get to my doorstep . If I could make everything happen faster just by a few seconds , I was going to do it . That's how badly I needed to know .
