The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 142

/2 Chapter 0142 Third Person POV The look Ethan had on his face when Judy left the party with her father did not go unnoticed by Irene .

There was a look of longing ; almost like he was a lost child , and it made Irenes heart ache .

She bit her bottom lip , refusing to cry in front of Ethans family .

She had already made a good impression on them and didnt want to ruin it .

Irene , darling , dont let that awful woman bother you , Meredith said , giving her a gentle smile .

Shes just a nobody .

Yeah , my brother loves you .

The thought of him being with her again makes me sick , Kelsey muttered , folding her arms across her chest .

Something she had said struck Irenes interest and she narrowed her eyes at her future sister in law .

What did you just say ? Irene asked , her heart weighing heavier in her chest .

Kelsey glanced up at her with a frown .

Which part ? she asked .

You said the thought of them being together again makes you sick .

What do you mean by again ? Kelsey opened her mouth to reply , but her mother stopped her .

She grabbed Kelseys arm and squeezed it tightly , making her whimper in distress .

She didnt mean anything by it .

It was a slip of the tongue , Meredith said with an obnoxiously loud laugh .

She must be exhausted , she added , giving Kelsey a pointed look .

Kelseys cheeks flushed and then she nodded .

Yes , I didnt mean anything by it , she murmured , glancing at Irene apologetically .

Irene , however , was not convinced .

She glanced across the yard at Ethan who was still staring longingly in the direction Judy had left .

She pressed her lips in a thin line and turned to face Ethans mother and sister .

It was very nice to meet you ladies .

I hope we can get to know one another even more soon .

Perhaps we can have brunch ? Irene suggested .

Meredith and Kelsey both lit up .

Yes , we would love that , Meredith answered for the both of them .

Excellent , Ill get your contact numbers from Ethan , and we can go from there .

Perhaps we can meet at the Silver Crescent Country Club later this week or next week , Irene said .

If youll excuse me , I should be going .

They both nodded eagerly ; the Silver Crescent Country Club was for the most elite wolves , and you couldnt get in unless invited by a golden member .

Being invited by Irene Landry herself was a huge honor and they wouldnt pass up the opportunity .

Before either of them could say another word , Irene was already walking in the direction of Ethan .

He was too lost in his own thoughts to notice her approaching ; that is until she put a hand on his shoulder .
