Chapter 0265 He had been faithful to Irene for weeks , but from the look on her face , he knew that she was suspecting something .


    It had to have been Scarlett who showed up at his house unannounced .


    No others would have done that ; no others knew where he lived .


    It was only her .


    Did she say something to you ? Ethan asked , his voice feeling heavy as he spoke .


    She shook her head and tucked a long strand of blonde hair behind her ear .


    No , but she looked upset .


    Like shes been crying , she replied .


    Ethan let out a breath , hoping that Irene didnt see the relief in his eyes .


    As long as Scarlett hadnt said anything to her , then he could fix this .


    Maybe it was the wrong house , I wasnt expecting anyone yesterday , he told her , his confidenceing back .


    She stared at him for a moment , her eyes narrowed , and he lips pressed in a thin line .


    Are you sure about that ? She asked .


    Because she had a striking resemnce to Judy .


    Ethan froze as he looked at Irene ; what had she figured out ? What are you saying ? Ethan asked defensively .


    Im saying its not a coincidence … Judy has a very basic look , he murmured , shaking his head .


    I can pick out about 5 girls that look just like her .


    Shes not that special .


    Why was she at your house , Ethan ? Please , tell me the truth , Irene said , stepping closer to him .


    He saw tears filling her eyes and for a moment , he actually felt bad .


    Maybe he would have told her the truth under different circumstances , but now he knew that he couldnt .


    He had too much on the line and he needed to y his part a good little spy that he was .


    like I dont know , he said , putting his hands on her shoulders , hoping to be soothing .


    Im sorry I havent been aroundtely .


    Ive been so busy with pack business .


    I have barely been home thesest few weeks .


    If anyone were to stop by my house , then I wouldnt have known .


    You know my family is pretty much running the pack until a new Alpha is appointed .


    We are the Beta family .


    She could have been trying to ask for a favor .


    Other than that , I dont know why she woulde over .


    I didnt ask anyone to stop by .


    Irene stared at him for a long while like she was trying to figure out if he was telling the truth or not .


    She nibbled on her lower lip .


    I just have this nasty feeling … shou Ethan pressed his lips to her forehead .


    tears dripping down her flushed cheeks .


    I promise , Irene .


    Im not cheating on you .


    Nothing is going on .


    You know I love you .


    I wouldnt have proposed to you if I didnt , he assured her .


    After a moment , she nodded .


    Okay , she whispered .


    He smiled and kissed her , and she let him kiss her .


    Should we go to your room ? I hear your father isnt home he asked , winking .


    She nodded .


    1/2  Chapter 0265 Yes , Ill meet you up there in a moment .


    I just have a phone call to make , she said .


    He nodded and headed straight to her bedroom ; she watched after him and let out a sigh after he was out of sight .


    She wanted to believe Ethan and she wanted to trust him ….


    but she knew now that she couldnt .


    Over thest few months , she discovered Ethans tell .


    She now understood his tells when he lied ; his nostrils red ever so slightly , and he always raised his eyebrows in a condescending way .


    That was exactly what he did when he was talking about not knowing that woman .


    She had no doubt in her mind now that Ethan was in fact lying to her .


    She walked out of the parlor and into the main foyer where Adam sat in his usual seat , reading a book .


    He paused when he saw her and he corked an eyebrow .


    I need you to do me a favor and tell nobody about it , Irene said without missing a beat .


    She grabbed her phone and brought up a picture of the womans license te .


    She managed to snap it before she drove away from Ethans house .


    She didnt do anything with it yet , hoping that Ethan woulde clean and tell her the truth .


    But clearly , that wasnt going to happen .


    She sent the image to Adams cell phone , and she heard his phone chiming almost immiedalty after .


    He grabbed his phone and nced at the image with a frown .


    Who does this belong to ? He asked , looking back up at her .


    Im hoping youll be able to find out for me , she said .


    Youve always been good withputers and techy stuff , Adam .


    Do you think you can find out who this te belongs to ? He thought about it for a moment , and then he nodded .


    Of course , he replied .


    She nodded Find out what you can and report to me as soon as you can she ordered , and with that , she turned and went upstairs .
