All Chapters of One Nightstand With My Ex's Uncle : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

31EMILY’S POV.When we had been told of Lucas’ arrival, I was surprised at how quickly John’s expression changed. He closed his eyes, and exhaled softly.If I was right, it seemed like he was finally realizing what he was doing. It felt like maybe Lucas was someone who corrected him a lot. Because the look on his face was like he had been unable to stop himself from doing something he had been cautioned against.He left me, and walked out of the study, and I followed after him immediately. It was my chance to escape.I saw Lucas standing there, and it shook me how handsome he was. He looked tired, but it didn’t kill the glow in his green eyes. His brown hair was perfectly styled atop his head, with the sides shaved in a low cut, and he was fashionable with his white T-shirt styled in a french tuck, into green pants—the color of his eyes.On his arm was a white coat, and his sneakers were a design I had not seen anywhere else. They were definitely limited edition sneakers.Our eyes me

33LUCAS’ POV.As I washed my hair in front of the mirror, a smile lit my face. Apart from Emily being beautiful, her lying about not sleeping with me was adorable. The way her cheeks heated up, and her dark, mysterious eyes seemed to increase in size, while looking all around, except my eyes, was endearing.She was a bad liar, and she knew it, but she was a fierce one. She didn’t back down, even though she knew she was really bad at lying, and that I probably had her all figured out.It got me more intrigued, and interested in her. Why? To other girls, such a night was considered as a rare opportunity— something they couldn’t imagine in their wildest dreams.If they managed to sleep with me, they wouldn’t let me go. They’d do anything to talk about it, and keep the memory fresh. They might even attempt to sleep with me again. I was sure some would definitely lie that they were pregnant just to keep a hold on me.But she was just throwing it away? Even denying it? Or did she not know

35EMILY’S POV.“Actually,” She paused, scanning me. “I think it might be nice. I need a change of environment, and since Lucas will be home,” She turned to him, “you’ll be home, right?”“Yeah.” He replied, with a sigh.“Then, everything is settled. I’ll be a good girl.” She said, and winked at me. I didn’t need anyone to tell me she meant exactly the opposite. Already, she hated me.The cold was too much as I walked back to our mansion in my drenched suit. When I got to my room, I squeezed, and hung them up for drying, before preparing a warm bath for myself.I was famished, but couldn’t bring myself to go down to the living room. Wariness had seeped into me, and I didn’t want to run into anyone. The evening had been nothing short of embarrassing, and worse, the next day was set to be a lot worse.What could I wear that could help me feel better? Well, since I was going to be a babysitter, I could dress in a semi-formal way because I couldn’t see myself caring for Sadie in a suit, or

37EMILY’S POV.When I woke up the next morning, I was sore all over. Bad dreams about Sadie had plagued me. The most memorable had been one of her somehow managing to make me go to her school in my underwear.I had been laughed at by so many people, and classmates of mine that we went to high school and college together, all saw me, and mocked me.They wanted to know if that was the future I had been planning with John for years. The dream left me with a bitter feeling, and I woke up with a pout.I sat up, and snatched my phone. It was still quite early, but Katie had sent three messages already, asking if I was awake. Who was she to boss me around just because John wasn’t around?I was going to make sure I used the best of my John-free month, so she was to expect opposition if she tried to take that from me.Then I saw a video message from an unknown number. I clicked on it, and saw a screen-recorded video of me on Instagram, as the little mermaid.Sadie had done professional editin

39LUCAS’ POV.“Okay. I want to be cool, and pretend I didn’t hear a thing, or that I didn’t understand a thing of what you guys were talking about, but I can’t. A movie is playing in front of me.” She paused, “Damn! John’s wife slept with his uncle!” She suddenly screeched, and I got out of my chair abruptly, almost falling, as I tried to clamp my hands over her little mouth.“What are you saying? You’re totally out of your mind, Sadie.” I said, with one knee on the ground, so I could match her height.“No, I’m not, Lucas.”“We were only rehearsing for a drama at work, and for goodness sake, what do you think sleeping together is? Of course, it is sleeping together in the same room, not necessarily on the same beds.” I said, trying to brainwash her, but she simply raised a brow as she took out her phone from her pocket.“Kids nowadays are smarter than they should be.” She replied, jingling the phone in front of me.“I guess that’s a solid reason you shouldn’t have that.” I said, star
