Chapter 24

While they were having dinner, Derek kept staring at Michelle. This made her uncomfortable as she didn’t even dare look his way.

The dinner was eaten in silence. Rebecca didn’t say anything all through dinner while Mr. Howard just sat quietly at the head of the table observing all three of them.

Nathan was furious. He didn’t understand why Derek had to come back now. He couldn’t help but feel jealous at the way Derek was staring at Michelle and he was sure that he would want to get back at him for being with her.

Michelle, on the other hand was barely touching her food. She suddenly regrets coming. She had no idea Derek would be present.

What was she thinking? It’s Thanksgiving and he ought to be present.

She so badly wanted the dinner to end so she could go home. She tried stealing a glance at Derek and was surprised to see that he was still staring at her. She noticed he had lost some weight and he looked a little pale on the skin, she wondered if he was okay.
