Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 196

How was I supposed to concentrate on the reason Ava and I came to Luceland when Alexander was either fighting with me or making my thighs tremble with need?

*Olivia*

It seemed like everyone in the room was sneaking glances at Alexander and me. Some were filled with curiosity, Ava seemed to be smug like she had predicted this, and Aiden had jealousy in his eyes.

That just put me more on edge. I hope that Ava’s brother wasn’t developing an unrequited crush. Something like that would just make my life even more complicated.

After Kelly made introductions–an awkward moment happened when I had to supply Alexander’s name even though Kelly had said we were all her friends–her grandma stood unsteadily from her chair.

“I just baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies,” Kelly’s grandma said. “Let me go plate them and get some drinks for you lovely folks.”

A large smile spread across her wrinkled face, and it was apparent that she was delighted to have guests.

“Let me help you, Gran,” Kelly said and stood up.

A few minutes later, Kelly walked in, holding a tray of freshly baked cookies, a mouthwatering smell wafting of them. Once she set those down on the coffee table, she went back to the kitchen to help her grandma with a large picture of ice cold milk and seven glasses.

With an excited grin, Ava reached for a cookie, but I shook my head at her.

Everyone was staring at me, so I quickly explained. “The cookies might upset your stomach again.”

“Dang it. You’re right,” Ava muttered and crossed her arms.

I grabbed a cookie to be polite, but I just set it on the little plate that Kelly had passed around. I wasn’t in the mood to eat, I just wante see what kind of information we could find out here. Everyone d into the cookies and milk. Aiden had at least five, and Ava made a joke about how the youth could eat anything they wanted without gaining weight.

“Where is the rest of the family, Gran?” Kelly asked when everyone was settled in their seats with a cookie or two.

“Your uncle took everyone to a party one village over,” she answered and set her cup of milk on a coaster on the coffee table. “He told me not to expect him back until late.”

My shoulders slumped, and Ava’s eyes widened with disappointment.

Crap. What should we do next? We had come all this way to talk to Ava’s uncle.

“Let’s go,” Ava said and stood up. “We should search these locations immediately.”

“Wait, can I talk to you both outside real quick?” Kelly asked Ava and me. I didn’t miss the way that she quickly glanced over at Alexander.

Ava and I followed Kelly outside.

“I don’t think that Alexander should come with us,” Kelly said and bit her lip. “I don’t think he blends in well with the group. As part of the green family, he is recognizable, and he attracts attention easily.”

I wanted to deny this, but I stopped myself before I could speak. Kelly did have a point.

Ava seemed to agree because she was nodding along. “You’re

absolutely right,” she said. “I’m going to ask him to get lost.”
