My Naughty Lover ✔️

Chapter 48

We are currently having dinner in a luxurious Italian restaurant. It's amazing how dad still remembers that I love italian food. I ordered spaghetti while dad and Margarette ordered pizza and pasta. Dad isn't a fan of italian food. I appreciate the fact that even though he didn't like it, he reserved a table here just because of my choice. I remember when my mother and Steve had reserved a table at a Seafood restaurant. I'm allergic to seafood. Mother knew but she didn't care and said that I should be thankful because it was my birthday. That day, they both insulted me because of my allergy. They said that I made a fool out of themselves in front of their friends and I was grounded for a whole week. It didn't make sense because I was innocent.

"Is the food to your liking, Scarly?" Dad asks interrupting my thoughts.

"Yes, very tasty." I say licking my lips.

"Haha, Enjoy." dad says while drinking his wine.

"Chris, you should bring Scarlette to the Gala this friday. That way she will be able to interact a bit with the others and she can have some fun." Margarette says while eating her pasta.

"Hmm, not a bad idea." Dad says. "What do you think, Scarly?" dad says turning to me.

"What Gala?" I ask.

"There is a Gala this friday that will be held at The Museum of Modern Art. Margarette and I are invited, you should join us. You can have some nice experience. What do you say?" Dad says.

"Oh. Will there be many people?" I ask hesitatedly.

"Enormous." Margarette grins.

"Ohh.." I say while playing with my fingers.

"Don't worry. You should get used being socially active now. You are 18 years old. That way, I can also introduce you." Dad says.

"Yes, you are right. I'll come." I say confidently. No more am I going to behave like an introvert. I should change for the better.

"Cool. We should go shopping." Margarette says clapping her hands in excitement.

"Again!?" I ask in surprised.

"Of course! We should buy you a gown for the function. Don't you know?" She asks,

"Oh really? I had no idea."

"Come on! You weren't going to wear casual clothes were you?" she says with wide eyes.

"No of course not." I lie.

"Great! We will go on Wednesday." She says and Dad nods in approval.

"Anyway, how is Canada?" Margarette asks.

"It's more or less okay." I say.

"Hmm, how is school there?" She asks,

"It's okay, I guess." I say unsure.

"Do you have friends Scarly?" dad asks.

"Yeah, I have a friend whose name is Liam. He is so nice to me and is so mature." I tell them.

"Oh is he the one?" Margarette wiggles her eyebrows,

"Oh no!! He is my friend!" I exclaim.

"Ahha, okay who else?"

"I have a friend, Nico." I say.

"You mean the Nico from New York?" Dad asks,

"Yeah, him." I say plainly. I'm not sure if he is still my friend.

"Oh he is in Canada?"

"Yes. He has settled there." I say.

"Hmm. Okay." dad says. "I heard that his father isn't keeping well."

"Yes. Anyway, I also have a small group of friends, Katrine, Zayn and Sarah. They made me a bit active." I change the topic.

"Oh, that's great." Margarette exclaims.

"I guess." I say while sipping on my drink.

We spend some hours there talking about life. I get to know more about Margarette. She is 42 and is divorced. Her husband was a douchebag. He was abusing her and did drugs. She has no children because she can't give birth. She lives in an apartment not that far from dad's mansion. As I noticed earlier, she is indeed a very nice person. She is the complete opposite of my mother. I can see that there is a kind of secret relation between her and my dad. They seem so compatible and I can say that dad likes her. I look at them happily and soon the night falls quickly and it is time to go home. We get into the Grey Jaguar that my dad possesses and we drop Margarette before we reach home. Once arrived, I head straight on my new comfy bed after changing and I fall into a perfect sleep.
