Chapter 189
If Judy wanted to play games , then frene could play ten times better .
And what does this Judy have that I dont ? Skyla asked ; she had noticed that Gavin barely spared her a second glance and ignored her subtle advances .
Now she knew the reasoning behind that … it was because of Judy .
Nothing .
Irene murmured .
Judy is my age … shes too young for him .
My father deserves a real woman .
Not to mention you are way prettier .
Skyla smiled at that thought .
That was perfect ; that meant she still had a fighting chance .
She wasnt going to let this Judy girl win Gavins heart .
Skyla , we are waiting for you ! Chanse called to her from the parlor .
I need to be going , Skyla told Irene .
But thank you for this helpful information .
Im going to make sure your father chooses the right woman .
Irene smiled , her plan in motion .
Thats all I ask , she said innocently .
Ill do my part and maybe try and get Judy to walk away as well .
Skyla nodded ; she pegged Irene all wrong .
She thought Irene was a spoiled little princess who could do no wrong and had no evil bone in her body .
Maybe she was a spoiled little princess … but she was no saint .
If things worked out with Skyla and Gavin , she might enjoy being a stepmother to this girl .
She said a hasty goodbye before she retreated and went to the Parlor , pleased to see Gavin already there , She used that opportunity to sit beside him and make her move .
Meanwhile , Irene waited outside the parlor door , knowing that Judy would be here soon .
Her father told her to let Judy know that the tutoring session would be moved to a new location for today because of their last minute meeting .
He was busy and wasnt able to text her himself , so he asked Irene to do it for him .
She told him she would , but she didnt .
She wanted Judy to come to the parlor and see Skyla with her father .
She wanted her to see what a good couple they made .
Telling from the paling expression on Judys face , her plan had worked wonderfully .
Now she had it in her head that Gavin was moving on with someone much better than her and it wouldnt be long before she left .
She didnt want to break her fathers heart , but she knew Skyla could put the pieces back together .
Plus , Gavin was the strongest man that she knew … he wouldnt let a simple fling weaken him .
Thats all Judy was … a fling .
I overheard Skyla talking last night , Irene went on to tell Judy who appeared frozen as she stared at Skyla and Gavin communicating .
Shes very interested in my father .
Im already starting to think of her as a stepmother .
I see … Judy said in a breathy whisper .
She looked utterly crushed and , in a way , it kind of surprised Irene .
She thought that Judy was only using Gavin to get close to Ethan and that she wouldnt be as hurt as she was .
But seeing the many rays of emotions crossing her face , gave Irene some pause .
Then , she shook the thought out of her head … It Chapter 0189 was only an act .
She had been acting since the moment they met , and she was good at it .
There was no way Judy was actually hurt over seeing Gavin with another woman .
She was only upset that her plan to get close to Ethan was failing and now she was going to have to come up with a new plan that didnt involve Irenes father .
Irene was determined to expose all her plans though ; she wasnt going to let Judy win .
Im sorry … Judy said , stepping away from the parlor I think Im not feeling well .
Can you apologize to Matt for me and tell him that our session will be moved to tomorrow .
Irene gave her a fake concerned frown .
Of course , she said with fake sweetness .
Is everything okay ? You are looking pale .
Judy nodded numbly and pulled her eyes away from the parlor door to look at Irene .
She froze when she saw the tears in Judys eyes .
She was trying hard to hide them , but they were clear as day .
Judy was hurt and upset … , but that didnt make any sense .
Why be upset over something like this when she didnt truly want Gavin in the first place ? It was Ethan she wanted … Yes , Judy said , turning her face away .
It was good to see you , Irene .
With that , Judy left without another word , leaving Irene confused .
