Chapter 235 Familiar

Ann cleared her throat loudly as she and Aoife made their way across to where Allen stood with his arms wrapped around Lexi protectively.

Lexi moved away from Allen quickly and plastered an overly bright smile on her face as soon as she noticed Aoife at Ann’s side.

“Hey! I’m Lexi,” She grinned broadly, much to Ann’s surprise.

She had been fully expecting a frosty reception from both Allen and Lexi but had planned on chalking it up to the current circumstances if Aoife had asked about it.

“Yes! I know, Felix had introduced me to your father and he mentioned that we were around the same age, and wondered if we had met through school or something before.”

“Oh he did, did he?” Lexi asked with a raised eyebrow, “What else did my dear old papa tell you about me then?”

“Nothing incriminating, I promise.” Aoife giggled.

“I find that hard to believe.” Lexi scoffed, “With all of the many shenanigans and thoughtless tomfoolery that I’ve gotten up to in the past, I’m a positive repository for incriminating tales.” She replied in mock outrage.

Allen and Ann exchanged an incredulous glance. Was this even the same Lexi? “Listen, we don’t want you to feel like you’re alone while Felix is off getting rid of the rogue issue, so we were thinking, maybe drinks and nibbles? A movie maybe or just a general chit-chat, a proper girl’s night. What do you think?” Lexi continued amiably.

Ann wanted to pinch herself. She wasn’t sure what was funnier, the sudden change in Lexi’s demeanor, or the way she was speaking to Aoife. If this was an act, it was an incredibly good one. “Oh, that would be lovely! I was just telling Queen Ann, that there are far too many males back at the Dubois residence.” She grimaced before quickly adding, “No offense Allen, of course.” Lexi chuckled lightly.

“No, I can understand that for sure. Being surrounded by these Alpha males beating their
