Chapter 51
Judys POV I stared at Gavin completely dumbfounded .
What did you just say ? I asked , my voice coming out breathy .
I asked you to move in with me , he repeated , his face serene as he stared back at me .
Even though he repeated it , I still wasnt convinced 1 heard him correctly .
Youre joking … I said , it wasnt a question ..
I am not , he replied .
You want me to move in … here ? I asked , glancing around at my surroundings .
With your family ? He frowned and then shook his head .
No , I have a mansion just North from here , he answered.
Its fully staffed .
I use it when I have work to do in the North of the border .
I raised my brows ; I had no idea he had another home within his pack .
I must have looked as surprised as I felt because his gaze softened .
You obviously need a place to stay , he told me .
And Im offering you one .
And you would be living there as well ? He was quiet for a moment as he thought about an answer to my question .
I cant live there full time , but Ill be there often enough , he told me .
Im there enough as is because theres constant work to do in the North .
It wont be much different .
But if I stayed there full time , it would be a bit suspicious to my children .
I cant just leave them to live here by themselves , especially not Matthew .
I nodded , understanding what he was saying .
Can I think about it ? I asked him .
Of course , he replied .
Take all the time you need .
I have business to attend to , so Ill be leaving you now .
I nodded and watched as he left .
I turned away and went back to Matt who was still practicing with the bow and arrow .
Okay , how about we switch to swords now , I suggested .
Afterwards Ill make us some lunch .
He eagerly nodded and we continued practicing for the next hour .
Third Person POV What were Judy and Gavin speaking about so privately 1/3 Chapterolat The thought of Judy cozying up to her father unsettle Irene more than words could describe .
She spent the last couple of days with Etlian ; hes made his receit behaviors up to her .
She hadnt confronted him with what she had discovered , but it didnt really matter anymore .
What mattered was that Ethan seemingly had left Judy for her .
But then why was Judy always around him ? Could it be because she was having trouble letting go ? She cursed under her breath at the thought of Judy wanting her mate back .
She let Ethan go in the first place , she had no right to hold onto him like this .
Ethan now belonged to Irene , and she wasnt going to give up on him that easily .
Irene hid herself in the shadows when Judy passed her and went back Matt .
They spoke for a few minutes and then they began sparring .
Judy mentioned something about Lunch .
All trene knew at this moment was that she needed to make sure that Judy was gone .
She didnt want her anywhere near the villa any longer … she especially wanted her nowhere near Ethan .
She walked inside , plastering a smile on her lips for the servants who walked by .
None of them knew how tormented Irene truly was on the inside .
All she really wanted was for someone to love her for her … but that seemed like a fairy tale .
Ethan was the closest thing shes ever had to having her own mate , and now shes realizing how far from the truth that was .
She wasnt sure how long she spent pacing the kitchen , but when the door opened , she was still deep in thought , trying to figure out how to get Judy out of the villa and away from her man .
Irene ? Judy asked , tentatively from the doorway .
Irene spun around , her face red having been caught .
Judy ! She gasped , her eyes wide .
How long have you been there ? I didnt hear you enter .
Judy shut the door behind her .
I just walked in a moment ago and saw you pacing .
Are you alright ? She asked .
Im fine , Irene lied , forcing a smile at her .
Judy looked unsure as she walked around the counters Its just that I feel as if youve been avoiding me , Judy told her , a frown forming on her face .
I was wondering if it was something I had done ? What ? Of course not , Irene lied once again ; she was getting pretty good at this lying thing .
I could never be upset with you .
Are you sure ? Judy asked , raising her brows .
She grabbed a loaf of bread and placed it on the counter before grabbing the strawberry jam from the fridge .
Im positive , Irene assured her , biting her lower lip .
Can I ask what you are doing ? Oh , Im just making lunch for Matt , she said .
A jam sandwich , with chips .
Irene nodded thoughtfully and watched as Judy got to work .
Then , an idea formed .
However , with the 2/3 $ 20 B Chapter 0131 Idea , came a dire consequence If not careful .
Judy was ocused on the sandwich , not paying any attenti to Irene who used that as her advantage .
She walked over to one of the drawers to make sure the item she needed was still there , Gavin was usually pretty good at keeping a spare Epi pen in almost every room of the house for Matt .
