Chapter 0228 Judys POV  I took another sip of my wine , feeling it rx my mind and body .


    I kept ncing at my phone periodically , thinking there would be a missed call or anew message .


    But there wasnt .


    I hated the jab of disappointment I would feel in my chest every time I saw that there was no message .


    I shouldnt be feeling this way .


    Gavin was with his family … Its not like he was losing interest in me or anything Besides , even if he was , it shouldnt matter that much .


    We are only having some fun ….


    scratching each others itches and putting on a show to get some people off our backs .


    Yet , my chest tightened every time I nced at my phone .


    I took a deep breath and put my phone on the table , unable to look at it any further .


    I nced at Nans lightly sipped wine and frowned when I nced over my shoulder at the entryway to the kitchen .


    I wondered where she was .


    I knew she was going to find out what Chester was cooking , but she had been gone for some time now .


    I figured I should go check on her .


    I hoped she didnt get lost on the way to the kitchen .


    I took another sip of the wine before cing it on the table and standing to my feet .


    I brushed my pants , straightening them with the palms of my hands before I started towards the kitchen .


    off The door of the kitchen was propped open slightly and I could see the back of Nans figure standing in the entryway .


    I smiled as I made my way towards her , but slowly started to subside when I saw how tense she was .


    Her entire body was like a stiff board .


    Frowning , I walked towards her .


    Nan , are you okay ? I asked .


    I paused when I reached her , and I could see over her shoulder that she was staring at Chester and Harper .


    Harper was seated on the kitchen counter , her legs wrapped around Chesters waist and her arms around his neck .


    Chesters arms were loosely draped around Harpers thin waist , and she was pressing herself firmly against his body .


    Her tongue was practically down his throat ; it was strange because he seemed a bit detached from the kiss , but she was going in hard .


    I wasnt surprised to see them like this ; if I were to be honest , it wasnt the first time I had walked in on them .


    Though , it was the first time that its ever happened out in the open before … it wasnt like them to lose control like this in the kitchen .


    Harper was very professional and kept her personal life a secret .


    They were alone right now so Im assuming Chester sent the rest of his staff away , however anyone could still walk right in on them ..


    including Nan who was frozen in her spot .


    She was probably not expecting to see the chef wrapped up in the arms of the maid .


    I bit my lower lip , trying to keep myself fromughing out loud as I ced a hand on her shoulder , trying to draw her attention back to me .


    Her body tensed even more if that was possible .


    I didnt bother looking at her face as I turned my attention to Harper and Chester , both oblivious to the fact that we were standing at the entryway .


    That is until I cleared my throat loudly , making them both jump apart as if they had been burned .


    Harper nearly fell off the counter at the quick motion and Chesters face was burning red when he turned to look at me .


    But then the red in his cheeks immediately went away and his face turned a ghostly shade of white when 1/2 Chapter 0220  he looked at Nan .


    His eyes grew wide , and I could see the horror in them .


    Nan took a step back , her body trembling slightly .


    My frown deepened even more as looked at my best friend ; I realized she was pale as well .


    I looked at Chester who waspletely frozen in his ce , neither of them saying a single word .


    Nan ? I asked her , tugging at her arm and trying to get her attention .


    A … are you okay ? Chester ? Harper asked, trying to touch him with her foot , but he stepped further away from her as if he couldnt stand her touch .


    Nan let out a shaky breath and then she finally tore her eyes away from Chester to look at me .


    My brows furrowed when I saw the tears in her pretty blue eyes ; my chest tightened .


    She looked gutted … something was wrong with my best friend , and I needed to know what it was .
