Chapter 10: Getting Chased
"They are all fine. Thanks for asking, Rory. By the way, Sidney is five months pregnant," Lennon said.
"Oh? Congratulations," Rory smiled. She was happy for him.
Lennon is 38 and is a self-made billionaire. His wife is Miss Universe and they already have a three-year-old daughter. Now his family is expanding more.
This is the guy who lives the dream. She envied him a little. Well, a lot if she is being honest.
"Then... I’ll leave," Rory said, checking the time. "I have to get back to Ellie."
"Rory," Lennon stopped her. "Will you be there for Derick’s wedding?" he fiddled with his cufflinks.
Rory nervously scratched her neck. She has received the invitation. And Derick is her favorite person in the Roberts family. She should be attending his wedding.
But this is his second wedding and it is going to be a small wedding held in the backyard of their family house. She wondered if she should attend the wedding.
She is planning on leaving the country as soon as possible. She didn’t know if it would be appropriate to attend the wedding of her ex’s cousin. Wouldn’t it be awkward if he brings his girlfriend there?
"I...’ Rory hesitated.
"You must!" he raised his voice and Rory looked at him awkwardly. She felt like she is put on a spot.
"Sidney would feel alone there. If you’re there, she will..." Lennon said softly and looked at her with a pleading expression.
