All Chapters of Your Dad's Perfect: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The room is quiet, and I know I need to leave soon."Oliver had mentioned you went to your parents?" He smiles at me."It was a disaster; safe to say they will never forgive me now."He laughs slightly. "They will, Ruby; yeah, you went against their beliefs and slept with me before marriage, but even they will come around and realise that's nothing.""Jake, they know everything. In their eyes, I destroyed your and your dad's relationship. I used you two for money, so they won't come around.""How would they know?" He sits confused."That night at the party, everything was filmed. So everyone has shared it, and someone sent it to my dad.""Shit, I'm sorry. I went through your phone. Honestly, I thought you were seeing Oliver, so seeing the videos, well, yeah. I don't know."I wouldn't go with Oliver, not in that sense. "I'm sorry, Jake. Even if I didn't do it as revenge, it was wrong." It's his dad."Ruby, you don't need to apologise; I caused the mess."Nodding, I stand and grab my ba

I wake up alone in Alaric's bed. It's only half six. Getting dressed, I walk down and stop when I see Jake in the kitchen."He's at work. He got called in." He barely looks at me as he talks; he continues to cook, which amuses me.Sitting for about five minutes, I watch him fail and can't stop laughing."You mocking me doesn't help."Tightening my lips, I nod and hear him swear as he burns himself."Okay, move." Walking over, I push him out of the way."I was doing fine."I turn to him and hold up the bacon. "Fine? It looks like you threw it on a campfire for an hour." I snap the bacon in half and laugh."That's how I like it." He shrugs slightly, so I hand it to him."Then eat it." I wait, watching as he looks from it to me. "Exactly. Before you try cooking so much, stick to one. Once you get used to cooking one thing, then make it two. You trying to cook a full breakfast won't work.""I was doing fine.""Just move before you burn the house down." He looks at me, offended."I'm not t

I left and messaged Alaric to let him know. When I got home, I walked into the kitchen. Bex and Ivy looked towards me."You left on our girl's night!" Bex glares at me."Oh, come on. You didn't even notice. I told you this morning." Ivy laughs. "You were that drunk and didn't notice she disappeared.""Fine, I didn't notice, but you left for Jake!" Bex stares at me in disbelief."I did, yes. He apologised, explained what happened, and what changed."They stare at me. "You took him back and stayed." Bex looks at me, shocked."No, we spoke. He left, and I waited to speak to Alaric. I stayed last night with Alaric, not Jake.""So he stopped ignoring you?" Ivy laughs."He had no choice; I was at his when he walked in. However, I did realise that my timing in saying we should take a step back made it look like I had used him for revenge."Ivy laughs. "I told you that. You did it the moment Jake knew. Now, why do you have Alaric's car?"Oh, of course, they would notice. "I was at his busines

We sat eating, and I explained that it was a worker error that caused him to get so many delivered. He seemed shocked that I got the manufacturer to agree to take back four hundred and refund them.I'm guessing he thought I would struggle. Seeing the history of the orders showed that Alaric's business is one of the manufacturer's biggest buyers, so my threatening to go elsewhere made them agree.He has still not spoken about what happened with Max; he's keeping that secret under tight lips. He turned off his phone when we walked in here, which I have a feeling he might regret if anything messes up at the business.I've agreed to stay at his place on the days I won't be studying, it's only for another three months, then I won't be restricted. I'm not now, but apparently, it would be wrong of him to let me skip classes."Jake never said, so what family do you have?" I assume they have family, or is it just Jake and his dad?"My parents are still alive; I also have a brother. He has two

AlaricWalking in, I glance around, and Oliver steps ahead of me. "Max, you're needed." I watch as everyone turns and looks towards us, which doesn't help with me figuring out who the hell Max is. It's clear from the whispers they know who I am though, so maybe me getting Ruby to grab Jake that day was a mistake. Waiting, I watch as a guy walks out. He stands looking at us confused. "What the fuck do you want?" He looks at me annoyed. "To talk, if possible?" To start with anyway. He stands confused and people continue to watch. "You hurt Ruby." He laughs and steps closer. "I didn't, she's lying." Other than Oliver, I have yet to meet a single person from around here that Jake spent time with who wasn't an asshole. "The black eye says different." I step closer to him. He shrugs like he's confused. "No idea how that happened, ask her again. Watch her story change, let's be honest, it could have been any one, she goes through men quick, especially the dads." I bite my tongue to
