Chapter 0091 My heart lightened a little ; I felt bad for her .<\/p>\n
She had no idea about the cruel jerk she was engaged to , but maybe she would start to understand things on her own .<\/p>\n
I brushed the thought out of my head ; it wasnt my problem or concern .<\/p>\n
I was here to do a job and that was it .<\/p>\n
My main focus was on my father and getting his debt paid so he could return to my mother , and we could be a happy family once again .<\/p>\n
Matt and I spent the next couple of hours sparring and practicing his defense moves .<\/p>\n
Once we were finished , were both panting and covered in sweat .<\/p>\n
Good practice , I praised , patting him on the back .<\/p>\n
Youve been improving greatly .<\/p>\n
I have a great tutor , he replied with a beaming smile .<\/p>\n
Thanks for helping me , Judy .noveldrama<\/p>\n
.<\/p>\n
You should get inside and shower before dinner .<\/p>\n
Im sure the maids are in the process of cooking it as we speak , I told him , glancing at my watch and seeing that it was just past 5 pm .<\/p>\n
He nodded and hurried inside .<\/p>\n
My eyes wandered over to Irene who was no longer staring at her phone ; instead , she was staring at me .<\/p>\n
She had an expression on her face that I couldnt quite read \u2026 maybe it was nervousness .<\/p>\n
Like she wanted to talk to me about something , but she was too afraid to bring it up .<\/p>\n
I figured if she wanted to talk , she would , so I turned away and started to clean up my supplies , shoving them into my bag .<\/p>\n
I hadnt noticed , or heard her , moving from her seat , but by the time I was done packing up my things and turning back around , she was standing right behind me .<\/p>\n
I nearly fell backward in shock .<\/p>\n
Sorry , she murmured .<\/p>\n
I didnt mean to scare you \u2026 She bit her lower lip and rubbed the back of her arm awkwardly as she stood in front of me .<\/p>\n
I sighed , giving in .<\/p>\n
Is everything okay , Irene ? I asked her .<\/p>\n
You seem off today .<\/p>\n
As if she was snapping herself out of her daze , she blinked a few times and then lifted her gaze to meet mine .<\/p>\n
Im not really sure .<\/p>\n
I guess Im just confused , she admitted .<\/p>\n
Judy , do you want to go shopping with me tonight ? I raised my brows .<\/p>\n
I dont really have the money to go shopping , I admitted , feeling my cheeks redden .<\/p>\n
It would be my treat of course , she said hurriedly .<\/p>\n
We can grab something for dinner too .<\/p>\n
Just the two of us .<\/p>\n
Is there a reason behind it ? I asked her , raising my brows .<\/p>\n
No \u2026 I just need someone to talk to , she said softly , glancing at the ground .<\/p>\n
Im not sure if Im the best one for that , Irene \u2026 I tried to say , but she quickly stopped me .<\/p>\n
I dont have anyone else , Judy , she said quickly .<\/p>\n
I could use some girl time \u2026 please \u2026 she pleaded .<\/p>\n
Chapter 0091 My heart tugged for the girl , and I found it hard to say no , so I relented with a sigh .<\/p>\n
Okay , I told her .<\/p>\n
I glanced down at my sweaty gym clothes .<\/p>\n
I should probably change though .<\/p>\n
I have clothes you can borrow ! She said , grabbing my arm .<\/p>\n
Come on ! She pulled me along with her and when we got inside , we nearly ran straight into Gavin .<\/p>\n
He froze at the sight of us and then his eyes darkened when he saw our interlocked arms .<\/p>\n
What are you two doing ? He asked , staring between the two of us .<\/p>\n
Im taking Judy to change her clothes , Irene answered before I could utter a single word .<\/p>\n
We are going shopping and to get dinner .<\/p>\n
He raised his brows at his daughter and then his eyes focused on me .<\/p>\n
Is that so ? I bit my lip and nodded slowly , my eyes never leaving his .<\/p>\n
Yes , I answered , my voice coming out way breathier than I wanted it to .<\/p>\n
My heart was hammering in my chest and my wolf was immediately perking up being in the presence of Gavin Landry .<\/p>\n
I had to fight to keep her under control ; she was embarrassing sometimes .<\/p>\n
Irene started to pull me away but as we stepped around Gavin , his hand wrapped around my bicep , halting me in place .<\/p>\n
His touch sent a shockwave through my system and goosebumps immediately formed on my flesh .<\/p>\n
Irene frowned at her father .<\/p>\n
Shell meet you up there , Gavin told his daughter .<\/p>\n
She gave me a concerned look before glaring at her father again .<\/p>\n
Eventually , she nodded and unhooked her arm from mine .<\/p>\n
She quickly hurried up the stairs .<\/p>\n
Iturned to look at Gavin who kept his gentle hold on my arm .<\/p>\n
Can I help you with something , Alpha ? I asked him , trying to appear innocent .<\/p>\n
I dont know what game you are playing , but leave Irene out of it , he said through his teeth .<\/p>\n
I was a bit hurt by his words ; I wasnt trying to play any game , and it wasnt right that hed assume otherwise .<\/p>\n
Im not sure what you are talking about , I told him truthfully .<\/p>\n
You can pretend all you want , but I know women like you .<\/p>\n
Youll step on anyone if it means getting what you want , he murmured , his voice low and threatening .<\/p>\n
You already have my nephew wrapped around your finger , Im sure hes a part of your pawn as well .<\/p>\n
If you hurt my daughter , Ill make your life a living hell .<\/p>\n
