Chapter 0073 Matt followed closely behind us .<\/p>\n
We didnt stop walking until we were outside of the school and near the car that Beta Taylor was waiting in .<\/p>\n
The other Gamma warriors were standing guard , but not close enough where they could hear the conversation , but close enough where they could step in if anything were to happen .<\/p>\n
Want to tell me what the hell you two were thinking ? Gavin asked , finally releasing his hold on my hand .<\/p>\n
I dropped my gaze to the ground .<\/p>\n
Its my fault , Dad .<\/p>\n
I asked her to pretend to be my mom , Matt blurted , quickly trying to reason with his father .<\/p>\n
I didnt want you to be upset .<\/p>\n
I was scared so I asked Judy if she could help me during our tutoring session last night .<\/p>\n
Gavins eyes flickered to me .<\/p>\n
And you went along with it ? He asked , narrowing his eyes .<\/p>\n
I probably should have asked him more questions about what had happened , I admitted .<\/p>\n
Im Alpha .<\/p>\n
I didnt mean to deceive you .<\/p>\n
# sorry , You are both foolish and acted childishly .<\/p>\n
Did you not think that they would ask questions about my marriage ? The world would have known if I had gotten married , dont you think ? I nodded and bit my lower lip .<\/p>\n
I wasnt thinking properly .<\/p>\n
I shouldnt have insinuated that we were married , I murmured .<\/p>\n
Im sorry .<\/p>\n
He shook his head as if he was disappointed in me .<\/p>\n
I couldnt help but feel like a child being scolded by her parent .<\/p>\n
Please , dont be upset with her .<\/p>\n
It was my idea , Matt said , grabbing his fathers arm .<\/p>\n
Dont be mad at Judy .<\/p>\n
Shes the adult , Gavin said , narrowing his eyes at his son .<\/p>\n
She should have known better .<\/p>\n
Its okay , Matthew , I said , trying to keep the tears from spilling out of my eyes .<\/p>\n
Pm sorry I couldnt pull this off for you .<\/p>\n
But you dont need to defend me .<\/p>\n
will take whatever punishment he hands me .<\/p>\n
I turned to face Gavin and took a deep breath .<\/p>\n
If you want to fire me , then thats okay .<\/p>\n
I will find a new job , I told him .<\/p>\n
Gavin narrowed his eyes at me , and he stared at me for a long moment before rolling his eyes and walking towards the car .<\/p>\n
I turned around to face him , watching his retreating back .<\/p>\n
I furrowed my brows .<\/p>\n
Confused about what had just happened .<\/p>\n
I looked down at Matt who was equally confused .<\/p>\n
Matt then shrugged and walked towards the car as well .<\/p>\n
I stayed rooted to the ground , unsure if they wanted me to follow them or not .<\/p>\n
It wasnt until they were Chapter 0073 both in the car that Gavin glanced in my direction .<\/p>\n
Get in , we dont have all day , he muttered .<\/p>\n
I quickly joined them in the backseat of the car .<\/p>\n
Beta Taylor had the window separating the backseat from the front seat rolled up , giving us some privacy .<\/p>\n
We were stuck in traffic for a bit , and it was taking the ride longer than usual to get back to Gavins villa .<\/p>\n
At one point , Matt ended up falling asleep .<\/p>\n
He rested his head on my arm , and I felt his breathing lighten .noveldrama<\/p>\n
Gavin looked down at his son and sighed .<\/p>\n
Im sorry , I said in a soft tone .<\/p>\n
For how things went down today .<\/p>\n
I shouldnt have gone along with it .<\/p>\n
No , you shouldnt have , he replied sharply but also keeping his tone low so he wouldnt wake Matt .<\/p>\n
I sighed and glanced out the window , not sure what more to say .<\/p>\n
But thank you for being there for him , he added , surprising me .<\/p>\n
I turned ot look back at him , blinking a few times .<\/p>\n
Youre thanking me ? I asked , raising my brows .<\/p>\n
Dont let it get to your head , Gavin murmured .<\/p>\n
Matt doesnt have a mother figure in his life , so its nice that you were there for him when he needed one , I bit my lip , unable ot keep the smile from spreading across my face .<\/p>\n
Im sorry if this is a bold question , but who is Matts thother ? Gavin was quiet for a long while and I thought for a second he wasnt going to answer me .<\/p>\n
Honestly , I expected him not to answer me .<\/p>\n
But then he glanced in my direction .<\/p>\n
My sister .<\/p>\n
I gasped and snapped a look in his direction .<\/p>\n
What ? I asked , shocked .<\/p>\n
Dont get the wrong idea , he said sharply .<\/p>\n
Matt is my sisters child .<\/p>\n
Im his uncle .<\/p>\n
Realization dawned on me ; Matt wasnt actually Gavins son .<\/p>\n
Thats why his identity has been kept out of the limelight for so long ! What happened to your sister ? I asked .<\/p>\n
Shes in a rehab facility getting the help she needs .<\/p>\n
Matt was young when he was taken out of her home .<\/p>\n
It wasnt a good environment .<\/p>\n
I didnt want him growing up as a foster child , so I took him in .<\/p>\n
he started calling me dad a few years<\/p>\n
