Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239: 239-The Scientist Couple

Clementine:

As we were let in, I noticed it was much calmer here, unlike at Troy’s or Haiden’s place. Those people were really enjoying themselves. But for Yorick, it was just his mother in view, and I could tell she was preparing a home-cooked meal.

I guess that’s what real vacations should be like, spending time with your loved ones instead of the ones who make your life miserable.

"Yorick, come out, see who’s here to see you," his mother called, rubbing her palms anxiously. "Jill, come out, see who we have here."

As soon as she called her mate, I began to worry. I remembered she said her husband would be excited to see me, and I could only assume she was being sarcastic.

They didn’t like me before, probably because of my father’s actions and the fact that I had hurt their son by cheating on him.

The door opened, and before Yorick could come out, his father did.

"Who is it?" he asked, tucking in his shirt with his head down, focusing on the buttons.

"See for yourself." As soon as she said that, she stepped aside. Haiden, Troy, and I stood in line. Lord Jill raised his head and did a double take, staring straight at me.

"Isn’t this the girl who broke my son’s heart?" He immediately pointed at me, calling me out.

"Actually, it was me." Troy stepped forward, stopping the old man from coming at me.

"What? Our son was sleeping with you?" Lady Rimi asked, exchanging a look with her husband.

The excitement in his father’s eyes faded when Troy quickly shook his head.

"Ew, no," he said loudly. "I’m straight. I meant she didn’t cheat on him. The rumor was started by me."

Troy added that quickly, avoiding both my eyes and his parents’. His parents began communicating silently. They weren’t bad people, but I never liked how they spoke with just their eyes when guests were around. It always made others uncomfortable.

"Why did you do that? Is it because you have feelings for our son?" Lady Rimi asked.

"No," Troy groaned, scratching the back of his neck while trying to think of an excuse. "I had a crush on Clementine."

He finally said it, dropping his hand and looking away. Silence filled the room.

"Awkward," Haiden muttered.

I guess it wasn’t just that, but he had used something that was partly true.

"I don’t know what to say. Does Yorick know about it?" Lady Rimi asked Troy.

They didn’t show the same aggression toward him for breaking their son’s heart as they had shown toward me in the past.
