Forbidden Love

Chapter 75

  Amy changed into a white short Ivory lace off-shoulder bodycon dress.



She put on light makeup and brushed her hair before heading downstairs. As soon as she approached the foot of the stairs, she heard her dad exchanging pleasantries with, Sean.

What is Sean doing here?

She walked towards the living room where the voices were coming from. As if her presence was sensed, they both turned to look at her.

"Hey," she shyly greeted Sean with a wave.

Rather than reply to Amy's greeting, Sean kept gaping at her, making her aware of her looks. Henry poked Sean's side, so he would close his mouth.

"I, uh. Hi," Sean said when he regained his composure.

"Um, uh. How have you been?"

"Great," Amy smiled, tucking her hair behind her ear to hide her nervousness.

Sean's stare was making her feel awkward, and why was he stuttering? It's not like this is the first time he's seen her.

Henry was staring from Amy to Sean, and back, mentally shaking his head at the clueless young adults. The doorbell suddenly rang.

Amy quickly offered to get the door. She wanted to get away from the awkwardness. Sean was acting really weird today, and it was creeping her out. So, for now, she needed to get as far away from him as possible.

Amy opened the door and a smile slowly appeared on her face.

"Hey, sweetheart!" Paula wasted no time in hugging her daughter.

"Honey, are you sure it's just a cold?" Her mom began to check Amy's eyes, temperature, and weight.

"Mom, I'm fine." Amy couldn't help but roll her eyes. Her Mom was embarrassing her in Sean's presence.

"Don't you think you need to see a doctor?"

"No, Mom." Amy gestured to her Mom with her eyes, for her to stop. She doesn't want her Dad to think that she's sick.

Paula got the hint and stopped talking.

"Hi, Paula. It's been a very long time."

"Oh my goodness! Sean is that you?" Paula couldn't hide her surprise. She hasn't seen Sean in like forever.

"I guess you're the only one besides my dad who recognized me," he laughed, giving Paula a warm hug.

"I can never forget this adorable face," she replied, grabbing his cheeks.

"And you're still my number one."

"Aww!" Amy bit her lower lip to prevent herself from laughing. The scene before her was hilarious.

Her mom and Sean were gushing over each other, totally ignoring her and her dad. So, this is the reason her dad invited her mom over for dinner. He is so thoughtful.

She walked up to her dad, who immediately circled his arm around her shoulder while giving her a warm smile.

"Let's get out of here," she suggested to her dad because she was already hungry. He nodded in agreement and they left Paula and Sean alone in the living room.

Amy began to drool at the sight of all the seafood placed on the dining table. The chefs went all-out tonight to make dinner. Anyone who walked in here for the first time would think this was a fancy restaurant.

Henry sat at the head of the table while Amy took her spot by his right. She rubbed her hands in anticipation, already devouring the food with her eyes.
