Chapter 39: What If I’m In Love With You
Selene’s eyes glanced at Xavier before her eyes immediately tore away from him, remembering the night they nearly kissed which continued to live in her head rent-free.
"Xavier, come and give this old woman a hug," said old Wallace.
Xavier hugged old Wallace, before walking towards his mother and hugged her also. He shook his father’s hand while the middle-aged man who looked more like Xavier’s elder brother than a father patted him on the shoulder.
After exchanging pleasantries with his parents, Xavier moved to sit beside Selene which had the latter stiffened a little.
Michelle immediately scowled. Xavier had completely ignored her again and went to sit with Selene. She silently gritted her teeth in anger, totally regretting inviting her over to the Wallace mansion. If only she had known that Xavier was coming over, she would have worn something better so that she could grab his attention.
Michelle stared down at her casual jeans and top. Selene was also wearing a similar outfit and Xavier noticed her but didn’t notice Michelle.
’That slut,’ she cursed under her breath as she balled her fist tightly.
"Excuse me, I will go change," said Michelle, excusing herself.
Michelle quickly walked towards her room and found Richard playing his video games as usual. His cans of soda drinks he had already consumed lay scattered on the floor as if an animal was living in the room.
Michelle glared at Richard.
’How can a twenty-seven-year-old be so deadbeat?’ She wondered.
