Invisible to My First Love by Lypstical Novel

Maddox : 35 55 vouchers Harper replied to my text faster than I thought she would . The smirk at the corner of my mouth wasn't just because she answered , it was also because she was curious , wanting to know where I planned to take her . For some reason , that small detail mattered to me more than it should have . I was in the middle of typing out the time I was going to pick her up after my meetings when Mrs Ford spoke from behind me . " Maddox , dear , you've been in the backyard for quite a while now ." I glanced over my shoulder , forcing a polite tone .

" I had a few work calls to make . " " But I thought you were on a break . " She smiled too warmly . " I only had a couple of hours and now , it's time to go . " " And what about some dessert ? " " I can always have some later . It's just dessert . " She chuckled at that . " You're actually right . Dessert can wait . It's just a shame you're not able to stay until my son and daughter - in - law get here . " She glanced around , lowering her voice with excitement . " Imagine if she gives birth to twins .

" Though a smile stayed on my lips , I was grinding my teeth inside as that must have been the hundredth time she'd spoken about Tiffany's pregnancy .

" Now I know who's responsible for keeping you away from me ." Mrs Ford laughed nervously . " Oh , not at all . He was actually making a few work calls . He says it's time to go . " Margot eyed me from head to toe , like she was inspecting for a stain or some shit like that . " Can't you stay a bit longer ? You haven't even had dessert .

" Her name is Harper . " " Of course it is ." She rolled her eyes . Then , Mrs Ford chimed in with that fake motherly concern . " I still can't believe Harper's this type of girl .

Keep me posted . " He placed his hand on the side of my arm . That simple gesture and unspoken approval lit something in me .
