Chapter 0222 Matt looked up at me and a grin spread across his face .<\/p>\n
I wanted to get this done quickly so we can spar outside ! He told me.<\/p>\n
I kind of wish we were still at the mansion though .<\/p>\n
I liked it over there .<\/p>\n
Your father thinks its better if we worked here because of the paparazzi .<\/p>\n
Until he takes care of it , its better if you didnt go over there , I told him .<\/p>\n
I just hoped that they would be cleared by the time it was time for me to go home .<\/p>\n
The last thing I wanted was the stay here \u2026 not with Irene under the same roof .<\/p>\n
I knew she didnt like or trust me right now and I didnt want things to continue being awkward between us .<\/p>\n
I think spending the night with her father would make things even more awkward .<\/p>\n
He nodded thoughtfully and then he grinned again .<\/p>\n
So , are you going to be my mom ? I nearly choked on my spit as I sat down beside him .<\/p>\n
Im sorry , what ? I asked him , snapping my eyes in his direction .<\/p>\n
He shrugged as if he didnt just ask me that question so casually .<\/p>\n
I saw the news reports .<\/p>\n
I dont live under a rock , he told me , eyeing me suspiciously and making my cheeks burn even more .<\/p>\n
Im not upset if you are going to be my mom .<\/p>\n
I would really like it if you were .<\/p>\n
Oh , Matt \u2026 I said , my heart squeezed in my chest .<\/p>\n
The last thing I wanted was to disappoint and hurt him , but I certainly didnt think I was going to marry Gavin .<\/p>\n
Maybe we should talk about this later ? His face fell a little , but he nodded .<\/p>\n
He wasnt stupid , he knew I was avoiding the subject .<\/p>\n
But he was polite enough to not say anything .<\/p>\n
We continued with his homework and then we spent time sparring in the backyard .<\/p>\n
Now that the film crew was done , it was nice having the space to ourselves again .<\/p>\n
I hadnt noticed someone else had joined us in the training grounds until Matts eyes wandered and then grew large .<\/p>\n
Oh , hello Miss Sinclaire , Matt said .noveldrama<\/p>\n
I turned and my jaw nearly dropped when I saw Skyla approaching us .<\/p>\n
She gave Matt a small nod and then her eyes shifted into my direction .<\/p>\n
My cheeks bumed under her scrutiny .<\/p>\n
H \u2026 hello , I said to her , hating that I stuttered .<\/p>\n
Can we talk for a minute ? She asked me .<\/p>\n
My eyes grew large ; what could she possibly want to speak to me about ? I glanced down at Matt , and he seemed to get the hint because he nodded and quickly went to finish practicing with the bow and arrow .<\/p>\n
I turned to Skyla , forcing a smile in her direction .<\/p>\n
Whats this about ? I asked her .<\/p>\n
I think you know what this is about , she told me , raising her perfectly trimmed brows .<\/p>\n
Its about you and Gavins relationship .<\/p>\n
Chapter 0222 My cheeks burned even more .<\/p>\n
I wanted to tell her that we didnt exactly have a relationship ; at least not like that .<\/p>\n
But the words wouldnt leave my lips .<\/p>\n
My wolf wouldnt allow me to say those words to her because she didnt want them to be true .<\/p>\n
I wasnt sure what that meant exactly , but I found myself clamping my lips shut and listening to more of what she had to say .<\/p>\n
If I had known he was already committed to someone , I would have never pursued him , Skyla continued to tell me .<\/p>\n
I just wanted you to know that Im not a homewrecker and I cant have the paparazzi thinking that I am .<\/p>\n
I was surprised by her words .<\/p>\n
I dont think anyone is calling you a homewrecker , assured her .<\/p>\n
I kissed him on camera , she said , her cheeks reddening slightly .<\/p>\n
At some point, they will start talking about it .<\/p>\n
They are so focused on his new relationship that they havent put any of the pieces together yet .<\/p>\n
I know Gavin is working on getting the stories pulled , but I worry about my reputation .<\/p>\n
Well , if it comes down to it , I will tell them that our relationship is new and that he was single when he met you .<\/p>\n
The words left my lips before I could stop them , and I immediately regretted them .<\/p>\n
Was I really planning on telling the paparazzi that I was in a relationship with Gavin Landry ? As if things werent hard enough as they are .<\/p>\n
Skyla also looked surprised ; she thought about it for a moment before she nodded .<\/p>\n
Just dont make it seem like he left me for you , she told me , winking as if she were telling a funny joke .<\/p>\n
But I knew she was serious .<\/p>\n
Look , Im really sorry for any misunderstandings I may have caused .<\/p>\n
I was under the impression that his fling with you wasn t serious .<\/p>\n
I wouldnt have pursued him if I knew .<\/p>\n
Its okay , I reassured her .<\/p>\n
Its not your fault .<\/p>\n
We were keeping things secret .<\/p>\n
Thats not on you .<\/p>\n
Her face softened and she nodded .<\/p>\n
\u05d9 Well , thats all I wanted to say , she told me and turned to leave but then she paused for a moment .<\/p>\n
Oh , and Judy ? Yes ? Hold onto him tightly , she told me .<\/p>\n
Hes a good man \u2026 and he deserves someone who will stick by his side no matter what .<\/p>\n
