Chapter 0175 Judys POV Later in the evening , we had dinner in the dining hall .


    I told the kitchen staff and Harper that on the days Gavin isnt here , Ill just eat in the kitchen .


    They seemed to have understood ; so far , everybody here was very nice .


    The food was delicious as well .


    I nced at Gavin who was cutting into his steak and when he felt me staring at him , he nced in my direction .


    I need to talk to you about something , I said quickly as I put down my fork .


    Go on , he said , raising his brows ; he was trying hard not to smile , and I could tell because the corner of his lip twitched .


    I need my best friend , I blurted .


    I need to be able to talk to her about stuff and I hate lying about whats been going on in my life .


    Shes going to ask questions once she realizes Im no longer living at the Cash family manor and Id like to tell her the entire truth about … well … this , I said , motioning between me and him , and then gesturing to the mansion .


    He studied me for a moment ; I was holding my breath as his eyes scanned my face and then he put his fork down .


    His face was shining with indifference , and it made a knot form in the pit of my stomach .


    I worried about what he was going to say ; maybe I was looking way too into this and there was nothing to tell .


    Either way , I still wanted her to know that I was living in the Landry mansion .


    But what if he said no then I would have to continue lying to her .


    … My mind was spiraling , and I was very aware of that , but then he cleared his throat , bringing my attention to his face .


    Is it that girl that works at the Carter resort ? He asked .


    I was surprised he remembered her , and I felt a strange sense of jealousy rising in my chest , but I swallowed it down and nodded .


    Yes , I told him .


    Nan .


    We grew up together and I usually tell her everything about my life and vice versa .


    Shes my best friend .


    He studied me a bit longer , neither of us saying anything and I started to squirm in my seat , feeling ufortable .


    Then , after what felt like an eternity , he nodded .


    Okay .


    I raised my brows , watching as he grabbed his fork and continued to eat as if this conversation hadnt happened .


    Okay ? I asked him , wanting rification .


    Hmm .


    I can tell her ? I asked , not satisfied with his short response .


    He nced at me , the corner of his lip twitching again ; he was finding this amusing I realized .


    He liked watching me squirm and giving me  Chapter 0175 indifferent answers .


    Yes .


    My heart swelled with excitement .


    I was going to call Nan first thing in the morning and invite her to lunch with me so we can talk properly .


    I would have jumped across the table and kissed him , but just then , one of the kitchen aids walked in and started to clean some of the mess off the table .


    I was expecting Gavin to spend the night with me , but he had to return to his Vi .


    I couldnt me him .


    His children were there after all .


    But that didnt stop him from rocking my world another time before he left .


    I ended up falling asleep before he officially left , so I didnt get to say goodbye .


    But when I woke up the next morning , I felt a sense of loneliness .


    The bed where he was once lying was cold and I felt my chest bing empty .


    I sighed and got out of bed ; the sun was rising in the distance and a smile tugged at the corner of my lips as I watched the different rays of colors expand across the Silver Crescent pack .


    I went info the bathroom and spent some time utilizing the giant whirlpool tub .


    It was the best thing Ive ever experienced .


    It was like a hot tub in the middle of the bathroom .


    By the time I was finished , my entire body felt like Jello , and my mind was put at ease .


    I had never felt more rxed in my life .


    I was surprised that breakfast was ready when I reached the kitchen .


    Good morning , mam , the head chef said with a polite smile .


    Breakfast is ready for you .


    You can call me Judy , I assured him .


    Then , you can call me Chester , he replied .


    Chester looked to be in histe 30s and was honestly not bad to look at .


    The female kitchen staff certainly made their interest known because they blushed every time he spoke to them .


    I wondered if they were new because they didnt seem quite used to him yet .


    Its nice to officially meet you , Chester , I said , grabbing a fork out of the silverware dish .
