Chapter 73
Matt followed closely behind us .
We didnt stop walking until we were outside of the school and near the car that Beta Taylor was waiting in .
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 .
Want to tell me what the hell you two were thinking ? Gavin asked , finally releasing his hold on my hand .
I dropped my gaze to the ground .
Its my fault , Dad .
I asked her to pretend to be my mom , Matt blurted , quickly trying to reason with his father .
I didnt want you to be upset .
I was scared so I asked Judy if she could help me during our tutoring session last night .
Gavins eyes flickered to me .
And you went along with it ? He asked , narrowing his eyes .
I probably should have asked him more questions about what had happened , I admitted .
Im Alpha .
I didnt mean to deceive you .
# sorry , You are both foolish and acted childishly .
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 .
I wasnt thinking properly .
I shouldnt have insinuated that we were married , I murmured .
Im sorry .
He shook his head as if he was disappointed in me .
I couldnt help but feel like a child being scolded by her parent .
Please , dont be upset with her .
It was my idea , Matt said , grabbing his fathers arm .
Dont be mad at Judy .
Shes the adult , Gavin said , narrowing his eyes at his son .
She should have known better .
Its okay , Matthew , I said , trying to keep the tears from spilling out of my eyes .
Pm sorry I couldnt pull this off for you .
But you dont need to defend me .
will take whatever punishment he hands me .
I turned to face Gavin and took a deep breath .
If you want to fire me , then thats okay .
I will find a new job , I told him .
Gavin narrowed his eyes at me , and he stared at me for a long moment before rolling his eyes and walking towards the car .
I turned around to face him , watching his retreating back .
I furrowed my brows .
Confused about what had just happened .
I looked down at Matt who was equally confused .
Matt then shrugged and walked towards the car as well .
I stayed rooted to the ground , unsure if they wanted me to follow them or not .
It wasnt until they were Chapter 0073 both in the car that Gavin glanced in my direction .
Get in , we dont have all day , he muttered .
I quickly joined them in the backseat of the car .
Beta Taylor had the window separating the backseat from the front seat rolled up , giving us some privacy .
We were stuck in traffic for a bit , and it was taking the ride longer than usual to get back to Gavins villa .
At one point , Matt ended up falling asleep .
He rested his head on my arm , and I felt his breathing lighten .
Gavin looked down at his son and sighed .
Im sorry , I said in a soft tone .
For how things went down today .
I shouldnt have gone along with it .
No , you shouldnt have , he replied sharply but also keeping his tone low so he wouldnt wake Matt .
I sighed and glanced out the window , not sure what more to say .
But thank you for being there for him , he added , surprising me .
I turned ot look back at him , blinking a few times .
Youre thanking me ? I asked , raising my brows .
Dont let it get to your head , Gavin murmured .
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 .
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 .
Honestly , I expected him not to answer me .
But then he glanced in my direction .
My sister .
I gasped and snapped a look in his direction .
What ? I asked , shocked .
Dont get the wrong idea , he said sharply .
Matt is my sisters child .
Im his uncle .
Realization dawned on me ; Matt wasnt actually Gavins son .
Thats why his identity has been kept out of the limelight for so long ! What happened to your sister ? I asked .
Shes in a rehab facility getting the help she needs .
Matt was young when he was taken out of her home .
It wasnt a good environment .
I didnt want him growing up as a foster child , so I took him in .
he started calling me dad a few years
