All Chapters of She's No Beauty Queen: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Edward had never hung out with a group of people like this before that didn’t know who he was. Nobody wanted anything from him or put him on a pedestal and forgot he was a human being like anyone else. That was certainly a foreign experience.No ‘Mr. Todd’ from people that weren’t that far apart from him in age this time. They all called him Eddie because Angel and Lily did.Once they got started, he and his wife were both rather wobbly and slow. He could already see his sister-in-law race against someone in the distance until they disappeared. At least there were enough people taking a more leisurely pace that they didn’t lose track of the group and where they were going completely.Angel didn’t seem particularly bothered by it though. In fact, she thought it was funny and frequently laughed at both herself and him.Edward didn’t mind since he already knew he would be bad at this. And because he loved her laugh. Hearing more of it lately as she slowly put the kidnapping incident behi

Edward hadn’t realized his wife noticed. He thought he had been doing a better job of hiding his emotions than that. More surprising was her confession that seeing it was hard for her because she cared about him.Guilt would be one thing but that didn’t seem to be entirely the case. She appeared genuinely exasperated that he wasn’t consistently happy because she wanted him to be.“I’m sorry,” he said lamely.Angel was having a harder time than he was right now because of everything that happened. She shouldn’t have to deal with his mood swings on top of everything else. He couldn’t control his feelings though, only his actions. The problem was that she knew how to read him better now after spending more time together. She could see right through him no matter what he did.She sighed. “Don’t apologize, just do something about it. You aren’t going to be happy until I’m properly in love with you so give me a chance to test that out, alright?”Edward took a minute to process that. She was

Thinking about Eddie’s job got Lily wondering how Mark ended up working for him in the first place. He never said.If he was a senior when she was a freshman and he started working for him when Aria was a baby, he was probably twenty-four. That would mean he got recruited straight out of college. No small feat considering who his boss was.Why was she thinking about him now, anyway? There was no reason for that!Lily snapped herself out of it. She needed to focus on enjoying her birthday since it only came once a year.Her mom had set up some dumb party games that everyone had fun with, even her guests who had likely never played them before. The company was good, the cake was delicious, and overall it ended up being one of her better birthdays even though she had been bored out of her mind at her internship earlier.It was nice having Angel at her birthday party. Now they had both spent their birthdays together.She couldn’t help but wonder if her twin’s birthday was her real one aga

Mark finished his performance with a dramatic bow for his cheering fans before heading back over to them. Lily still felt weird because of what Diego had said and wasn’t sure why since it wasn’t as if it was new information.“You ready to work on the next trick?” he asked.His eyes were bright and he looked unusually happy. He had a nice smile when he wasn’t all business. It took Lily a moment to find her voice to respond. “Yeah. Later, guys.”“Bye, Lily! Bye, Legend!” the group of skaters chorused.“Seems like you’ve won them over,” Mark noted when they headed over to an emptier section of the skatepark.“Pretty sure that’s entirely because I’m associated with you.”He shrugged. “Don’t shortchange yourself. You’re plenty charming on your own.”What was with all these compliments today?! Lily wasn’t sure how to handle them. She blew it off with a simple thank you and they got to work. Though she did know several new tricks now, she still had a long way to go before she was ready to at

Mark sat there mentally berating himself for being weak and falling prey to the worst possible emotion until Edward finished his call and came back in. He wasn’t at all fazed seeing his assistant there.“What do you need, Mark?”“You have more paperwork to fill out and we have a meeting across town in thirty minutes,” he informed him.Edward sighed. “I forgot about that. People have been calling me all morning about an unrelated property so it slipped my mind. If you drive, I can fill out the paperwork in the car but I need to go get dressed first. Angel, I’m going to be gone for a few hours.”Angelina looked up from what she was working on and gestured for him to come closer. “Alright. See you later.”He walked over to where she was sitting and bent down to briefly kiss her with a soft smile on his face. “Yep. Good luck with your paper.”“Thanks, I’ll need it!”Mark wasn’t even surprised at this point. He knew Edward was wrapped around his wife’s finger and that she had been extremel
