Chapter 0071 He walked me over to the chairs and made me sit in one of them as he sat in the other , his fingers still wrapped around mine gently .<\/p>\n
So , tell us what our son had done , Gavin said , turning his attention to the principal who was watching us warily .<\/p>\n
Principal Thorne cleared his throat and looked between the two of us .<\/p>\n
Matthew got into a fight yesterday in the lunchroom , he explained , making me gasp .<\/p>\n
We have zero tolerance for fighting in this school and the only reason he wasnt expelled was because hes a Landry .<\/p>\n
I wanted to discuss with you the proper punishment for the boy .<\/p>\n
I expected Gavin to list out different punishments for Matt ; fighting was certainly not okay and if he couldnt be expelled because hes a Landry , then there has to be something else that could be done .<\/p>\n
I expected Gavin to be furious with Matt about this behavior .<\/p>\n
But what I wasnt expecting was the calmness that fell over him as he stared at the principal , as if it was Principal Thorne who was in the wrong .<\/p>\n
He leaned back in his seat and took in the principal before him .<\/p>\n
And why exactly did Matt fight this boy ? Do you know the reasoning ? Gavin asked .<\/p>\n
I raised my brows at the question ; that was actually a good question .<\/p>\n
I turned to face the principal , waiting for an answer .<\/p>\n
I \u2026 Im not exactly sure \u2026 the principal said , his brows pinched together .<\/p>\n
You didnt bother to ask him what had happened to upset him ? Gavin asked , raising his brows .<\/p>\n
Matt isnt known to be violent unless theres a reason behind it .<\/p>\n
I knew Gavin was right ; Matt didnt seem to those tutors he chased off werent there for good reason ; they were selfish , greedy , and mistreated Matt , all because they wanted to get with his father .<\/p>\n
Matt had every reason to chase them away .<\/p>\n
But once you get to know him , hes a sweet little boy who only wants his family to spend more time with him .<\/p>\n
a violent bone in his body unless it was deserved .<\/p>\n
All Hes lonely and often sad ; he craves attention , and hell get that attention any way he can .<\/p>\n
But I cant see him seeking out that kind of attention at school .<\/p>\n
I knew school was important to him ; it was obvious from how hard he worked during our study sessions .<\/p>\n
He wouldnt do anything to jeopardize that unless there was good reason .noveldrama<\/p>\n
It doesnt matter the reasoning .<\/p>\n
He still went against our school rules , Principal Thorne said , folding his arms across his chest .<\/p>\n
I know hes your son , Alpha Landry , but something needs to be done about his behavior .<\/p>\n
His behavior ? 1 finally found my voice to speak .<\/p>\n
You dont even know the cause of his behavior and you expect us to punish him ? How do we know Matt was the one who started this fight ? He could have been defending himself .<\/p>\n
Why arent the other boys parents here ? Are you planning on punishing him as well ? The other boy had a broken nose and needed to go to the nurses office , Principal Thorne said , his frown deepening Chapter 0071 And how do you know he didnt deserve it ? Gavin asked ..<\/p>\n
Alpha , I- My wife and I had taught our son to stand up for himself , so we find it hard to believe that Matt would punch this boy in the face for no reason , Gavin said , interrupting him .<\/p>\n
My cheeks burned when he called me his wife ; I glanced at him , and I saw that the corner of his lips was tipping upward like he was trying not to laugh .<\/p>\n
I pressed my lips together and turned to face the principal .<\/p>\n
Call him to us so we can talk to him , I said , glad that my voice came out stronger than I felt .<\/p>\n
The principal swallowed and then nodded as he grabbed his phone .<\/p>\n
Can you bring Matthew Landry to my office ? He asked into the phone .<\/p>\n
Thanks , He hung up and took a deep breath .<\/p>\n
Gavin nodded his approval .<\/p>\n
We sat in silence for what felt like an eternity .<\/p>\n
Gavin kept his hand entwined with mine and occasionally hed reach over and brush a strand of hair out of my face .<\/p>\n
H was putting on a show for the principal , but it was only making my heartbeat faster .<\/p>\n
Moments later , the door opened , and Matthew walked into the room .<\/p>\n
The moment his eyes landed on his father ; his entire body froze .<\/p>\n
