Iris:
He instantly shut up and looked away, his hand rubbing over his mouth as if he had no clue how the words had slipped out.
I could tell he realized what he had said from the way his expression changed.
He straightened his back and cleared his throat.
"You know what," he muttered, avoiding my gaze, "Lord Ronald is hosting a dinner tonight for all of us. I will go get ready. Make sure the kids are ready. And so are you and Luca."
He did not look at me once. After he walked off quickly, I was left behind in silence.
I stood there, confused, trying to understand why he would say something like that.
First of all, why would his drunk mind think it was me?
Second, he was not that drunk when he had walked away from me to follow Lara.
Maybe they drank together, but the way he phrased things did not sound like they had enjoyed a fun night.
Instead, he sounded confused about how he ended up with her.
Alarm bells started to ring in my head.
