Seducing My Ex's Father In Law by Caroline Above Story

Chapter 537

I went with Nan out of the room and towards the front parlor, where Irene was just finishing getting ready. When she turned around to face me, my jaw was on the ground. She was stunning in her off white gown that brought out the colors in her natural features and highlighted her blonde hair. The dress fit her body like a glove and made all her curves noticeable.

Chuck would be on the ground if he saw her.

"Irene, you look beautiful," I told her.

She beamed at the compliment before looking at the clock.

"Erik will be here soon to pick us up," she told me. "Are you ready for this?"

I thought about it for a moment, my fingers nervously fiddling together as I nibbled on my lower lip.

"Maybe," I told her, not wanting to admit how nervous I truly was, though it seemed she could see right through me because she gave me a soft and compassionate smile.

"It's going to be okay," she assured me. "We are going to a charity event, one we've both been to on countless occasions, and we are going to have a good time. No pressure... no boys... It's a girls' night."

I relaxed at her words and nodded in agreement.

"A girl's night," I repeated, letting my body relax.

There was a knock on the door, and my entire body tensed again. Irene chuckled and put a hand on my shoulder.
