Facade of Love Novel novel Chapter 156

 

Chapter 156 Have We Met Before, Five Years Ago

Moore’s face was a mask of doubt as she gazed at me, clueless. Then Idris, who had been chatting with Ensio by the stairs, heard my cry and rushed over, quickly helping me to my feet

Moore froze at the sight of Idris, and it took her a moment to find her words, Iddy, you… 

Once I was steady, Idris’s gaze shifted to Moore, his expression unreadable. He simply instructed Ensio, Take Ms. Scott home

He was not talking about me

Ensio nodded, approached Moore with a formal air, and said, Ms. Scott, let’s get you home.” 

A look of disbelief and panic crossed Moore’s face. Iddy, what I just said” 

I heard everything you said,Idris cut in, his voice steady and detached as he looked at her with indifference. I’m not getting a divorce.” 

The words hit the air with a force that left both Moore and me frozen in place. I bet Moore never saw it 

comingIdris telling her off with such raw honesty

He was basically spelling it out for her: no divorce was in the cards, so she had better not get any wild 

ideas

Moore’s face went ghostly white, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. She tried to speak, but no 

words came out

Ensio chose that perfect awkward moment to chime in, Ms. Scott, I’ll take you home.” 

Moore shuffled away, head down, like a chicken after a losing bout in the coop

As she retreated, I turned away, only to hear Idris’s voice, deep and controlled. You okay?” 

I shook my head, silent, and headed for Madam Young’s room

Idris caught my wrist, and I frowned at him, annoyed, Mr. Young, what’s up?” 

He looked at me, his face unreadable, Do I seem like a fool to you?” 

His question caught me off guard, reminding me of the harsh words I had thrown at Mooreand that he had overheard, including the part where I called him a dunce

Feeling suddenly sheepish, I bit my l*p, You’re reading too much into it. I was just caught up in the heat of the moment with Moore. Plus, you said it yourself, you’re not a fool.” 

The more I tried to explain, the more it felt off

Idris could sense it, just as I could. I expected him to get mad, but his face stayed calm

He just arched an eyebrow and said coolly, Cut the act. Fake falls aren’t your style.” 

Crap, he was onto me

I was about to argue when he gave me a sidelong glance, a playful smirk on his face, and said slowly, That was way too fake.” 

I was speechless. I tried to pull away from his grip, but the guy was strong. No matter how hard I tried, I could not break free. In fact, it only made him hold on tighter. So, I just clammed up

He noticed my silence and his tone got softer. Yvette,he said

Yeah?I replied, not exactly in the friendliest tone

Did we meet at the border five years ago?”
