Chapter 150
Its part of the job , she murmured .
But exhausting So , seriously Whats so important ? You sounded urgent on the phone .
I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair , tugging at the ends .
My mom is selling the house , I blurted .
What ?? Nan gasped .
Why would she do that ? She loves that house .
Her and your father worked hard in the beginning to get to that house .
She always used to tell us stories about it .
I know , I told her , closing my eyes .
But somehow , thans parents convinced her to sell the house and move in with them until shes back on her feet .
Those conniving assholes , she hissed .
They did this on purpose ! Im well aware , I murmured , rolling my eyes at the very thought .
So , what are you going to do ? Nan asked .
You cant live there .
Is your mother that gullible ? Apparently she is , I sighed .
She told me we are moving in a couple of days .
You cant be and your wolf .
rious , Judy , Nan groaned .
You living in the Cash household will be so damaging to you I cant live there , Nan , I told her , dropping my voice even lower .
My mother is adamant about it and even said if Im not on board , then I can find somewhere else to live .
So , what are you going to do ? Nan asked .
I was quiet for a moment as I chewed my bottom lip .
I was kind of hoping I could crash on your couch until I can figure something out ? I asked her , holding my breath until she answered .
After a beat of silence , she finally replied , heaping a large sigh .
Oh , Judy .
I would love to have you stay with me , but my landlord is a complete asshole .
I signed a contract stating that I wont have anyone staying here for more than a couple days … she told me sadly .
Im so sorry … 13 Disappointment filled me .
She was my only hope .
I truly will have to live with Ethans family .
My entire stomach turned into a nervous pit , and I fought the urge to cry .
Its okay , I understand , I told her softly .
Ill do some research and try to find someone who needs a roomie though .
Im sure theres something around here , she assured me , her tone compassionate .
We will figure this out , Judy .
Dont worry .
I smiled , despite wanting to cry .
Thanks , Nan .
After a quick goodbye , I hung up the phone .
I turned around so I could head back to Matt but froze when 1/2 Chapter 0150 I saw Gavins dark eyes staring at me .
I had been avoiding him because of how ashamed I was for running out on him last night .
I wanted to apologize , but I wasnt sure how to start .
Hey … I said a bit awkwardly .
About last night Never mind that , he said , stopping my words .
Did hear you say something about your mother selling your house ? My face paled .
You were listening to my conversation ? I asked , feeling a bit defensive and embarrassed all at once .
It wasnt intentional , he said , narrowing his eyes at me .
But is it true ? I bit my lip ; there was no use lying to him if he heard the conversation , so I nodded .
Yes , I said softly .
Its true and Ill most likely have to live with Ethans family for a while .
His energy seemed to have darkened a bit upon hearing me say those words and a small growl escaped his throat .
I raised my brows at his reaction , and he shook his head , ridding himself of that strange outburst of emotions .
Theres another option , he finally said after a beat of silence .
And what would that be ? I asked , meeting his eyes .
Move in with me .
