Invisible to My First Love by Lypstical Novel

Chapter 93 Chapter 93 Maddox : 100 55 vouchers The video I posted on my page blew up so quickly that the notifications turned annoying in only a few minutes . Even though I already knew what the comments would be , I clicked on the post and it was just as I thought . I could count on one hand the number of comments that were purely fun . The rest , nothing but a mix of emotions and full of envy and jealousy . It was only right that Harper posted something on her page too since that hadn't yet happened , so I sent her one of the videos to post and tag me.

As soon as she posted , a notification popped up . I had the intention of clicking on it and being the first to like the post , but Grayson beat me to it and just looking at his name made me squeeze the water bottle in my hand . Despite everything , he was still in her life and I knew what he meant to her . My chest tightened as I imagined the smile on her face after seeing that Grayson was the first person to like the post . It wouldn't matter to her who would like the post after him . I knew that too well .

It was for this reason that I clicked off without liking the post and dropped the water bottle a bit too hard . Maybe I was being petty , but at that moment , I didn't give a shit . I stepped in the shower to freshen up , changed my clothes and then came to my home office . I had managed to numb my feelings about the post , but still found myself thinking about her . I knew exactly what we were doing with the fake relationship , but something in me didn't want to cooperate anymore . I wasn't yet able to describe it , but it was torture not knowing .

I slid the pile of documents to the side , leaning back in my seat and facing the ceiling , like that's what held the answer . Just then , my head shot towards my desk when my phone began to ring . Relief washed over me as that was the perfect distraction , Uncle Sebastian . " I was just thinking about you , " I said to him as soon as I picked up . " Right , like I'm actually going to believe that . " He scoffed from the other end of the line . " Why would you be thinking about me when you have your girlfriend ? " I rolled my eyes .

" Just because I now have a girlfriend doesn't mean she's all I think about . " " You do make it seem that way with how you've been posting her in just two days ! Anyway , I know you can't help it . That's what young love does to you . " I wanted to chuckle to myself at how his words were far from the truth , but I couldn't bring myself to do it , like there was something in that statement that was actually true . 8:40 Mon , Oct 13 Chapter 93 : 55 youchers " You've really come a long way . I remember the last time you introduced me to your girlfriends . That was years ago .

But now I see a change in you , which came after Harper came into your life . That's why I hope this lasts forever , unlike my wife and I. " He burst into laughter like it was the most normal thing in the world to talk about his divorce like that . " Are you sure you're okay ? " I asked , furrowing my eyebrows with concern . " Me ? I'm great ! " " And how is she ? " He sighed . " She's having a good time in Paris at a fashion show or something ." " Are you home ? " " Nope . I have no business being there ." I tried to pick up on the real emotion behind his tone . " Maybe- " " Where are you ?

" he cut in . " San Francisco . " He let out a chuckle like he was impressed . " You really took my advice . " " Yeah , but I haven't moved yet ." " Isn't it funny how you moved not too long ago to London and now you have to move back to San Francisco ? You really do want to be close to this girl . I mean , who wouldn't want to be close to their girlfriend when she looks like that ? " I nodded in agreement like he could see me . I'd seen Harper in so many ways - when she was broken with smudged mascara , her bare morning face , when she was all dressed up and when she had nothing on .

In all these situations , she was gorgeous . " I can't have other guys trying to take her away from me because I live somewhere else , " I said . " You really are serious about her . " " So serious that I showed her my old room and pictures at my dad's estate. " He whistled , " I thought your move back to San Francisco was a big deal but that ? My boy is in love ! " I shook my head . " You're thinking too far ahead . " " How else do you explain what you did for her ? We both know what that room means to you . Not even Kate shared the same experience ." I sighed . " You're right about that .

" 8:40 Mon , Oct 13 d Chapter 93 55 vouchers I leaned back in my seat again , thinking about how I had to go to such lengths just to get everyone off Harper's back . But on second thought , I didn't have to do as much as I did . I could've just stopped at letting her go into my room and out . It would've counted as giving her access . But no , I just had to take it a step further by showing her some of my earliest memories in that house and even my mom's picture before snatching it from her . I don't know how she did it , but she made me want to open up .

For a few seconds , I forgot that I was on a phone call as I wondered why it was so easy to do those things for her , even going as far as telling her about my family history . It was only when uncle Sebastian spoke again that I snapped out of it . " You still haven't told me about lunch at the estate . You know I'm dying to know , so come on . Tell me . I'm all ears . " I had a lot to say , but started with what was the most significant moment to me .

" My dad told me he wants to take flowers to my mom's grave and he said it in my Margot's presence ." He gasped with pleasant surprise , then burst into laughter while clapping . " I bet she didn't see that coming ! " " Nope . You should've seen her face ." " This is huge . " He sighed . " I'm glad your father has taken such a step all on his own . It took a long time , but better late than never ." I grinned . " He even wants to go with me . " " The way I see it , this is just the beginning of greater things to come and I just hope that witch doesn't get in the way . " I chuckled .

" Now , lunch was awful . " " Hmm ... I wonder why ." I could imagine him wiggling his eyebrows while already having the answer . " My dad was cool and made Harper feel so welcome . " " He can be difficult at times , but I expected nothing less from him ." " You already know the ones who ruined it . Margot and her daughter were so mean and tried to belittle Harper every chance they got . Margot even crossed the line when she brought up Harper's father . She has no idea who he is . " He scoffed . " That was quite low . " " And then there was Grayson .

" My jaw clenched as soon as I said his name . " Ugh ! The son - in - law who always wants to take their side , no matter what . " " Exactly . It's such a complicated dynamic since he's known Harper forever , but obviously when it comes down to it , he's on his wife's team . " 8:40 Mon , Oct 13 d Chapter 93 100 55 vouchers " Why wouldn't he be ? " He clicked his tongue . " I heard that his father secured another contract thanks to Margot . That family will always lick her feet . " " But you know what ? They'll never try to hurt my girl again in any way .

" I glared at my desk like I was back at the Aldridge Estate . " I made sure of that with my warning . Harper's been hurt enough and I just want her to be happy . " " Whoa ... is this the same Maddox I've always known ? Talk about being a man in love and super protective . Your tone already sounds like you're warning me . " He completely believed that I was in love with Harper and I didn't want to sound dismissive because that was the plan . " You know what ? " he said . " I'm done just hearing about her . I want to meet her . " I should've seen that coming .

If she'd already met my father , it was only fair that she met my uncle as well . " Yeah , sure ." " Good ! I'll meet her when I'm back in San Francisco in a few days ." After the call came to an end , I texted her to inform her about Uncle Sebastian , then tightened the grip on my phone . I closed my eyes , thinking about how everyone would react if they were to find out there was nothing serious going on between the two of us and I was only trying to protect her .

Around I AM , I took a break and scrolled through my contacts , which were so many , but they were all just a blur until I got to Harper's name . She might've been fast asleep and I should've taken that into consideration , but I wanted to be selfish . I just wanted to talk to her . I dialed her number and waited , but it just rang and I reminded myself that it was bad timing . I sighed with disappointment as I put down the phone , telling myself just to go to bed and forget getting back to work .

It took me a few minutes but I finally rose to my feet as I neatly arranged everything on my desk . When my phone suddenly rang and her name flashed on the screen , I dropped the document in my hand too quickly to reach for my phone . I even sat back down like that would make her hear me better . " Did I wake you ? " I asked as soon as I picked up , swinging the chair from left to right with a small smirk . " Nope . I was awake . Grayson just left ." " What ? " I stopped swinging , my smirk fading .
