Chapter 0049
She opened it with eagerness and when she saw the pink gens inside , she gasped loudly , her eyes lighting up with excitement and a large smile spreading across her glossy lips .
Oh , Dad ! She gasped as she wrapped her arms around me hugging me tightly .
I love it ! Thank you so much .
She pulled away from me and ran over to Judy to show her what I got her .
Ive been wanting something special for the inside of my car ; this would look so cute on my mirror .
Dont you think ? She asked Judy as she showed her the gems .
That was my thought , I agreed .
Judy glanced at the gems and gave Irene a small smile ; it was forced , but I was surprised that Judy was actually trying to get along with her considering Irene was marrying her fated mate .
My wolf let out a huff at my thoughts and I shook him away .
Its really pretty , Judy finally said after a beat of silence .
Itll look nice .
Irene bounced excitedly .
Im going to put them in my car right now .
Come meet me before you leave ! She said and then she hurried out of her bedroom , leaving me alone with Judy .
I looked at Judy and stared , once again , at her outfit with a deep frown .
I thought we had an agreement about your clothes ? I told her harshly .
Her face blanched and she swallowed the lump in her throa I had a bit of an accident with my clothes , she told me , shrugging like it was no big deal .
What kind of accident ? I asked her , my tone deepening .
I fold myself that I only cared because if there was an accident on my property , with my employees , I needed to know about it .
She bit her bottom lip .
During my sparring with Matt , I tore my shirt , she told me .
She wouldnt look at me , which led me to believe there was more to the story , and if I knew Matt , I would bet that he had something to do with her torn shirt .
It was clear she was trying to cover up for him though and I wasnt going to press her any further .
Irene was kind enough to let me borrow her clothes , Judy finished .
But I wont stay .
I should get going .
I remained unmoved as she neared me to get to the door , her arm brushing across mine gently , causing my heart to skip a beat .
I furrowed my brows at the feeling , not understanding what it meant .
Judy paused and I wondered if she felt something too .
Her gaze lifted and met mine and for a moment , it felt as if time had stopped completely , and we were the only two in the entire world .
Ill see you later , she said , her voice coming out breathily I managed to nod and watched as she hurried out of the room .
My cock twitched in my pants and silently cursed myself for letting this woman get to me like this .
My wolf was stirring around with the need for her , and I quickly silenced him , blocking him from my mind .
Shaking my head , I left the room and walked down the stairs , Judy was a distance ahead of me , not bothering to look back .
She paused at the doorway when she saw Irene walking into the house , a frown on her lips .
+26 BONUS Chapter 0049 Is everything okay ? 1 asked her as I reached the bottom step .
Yes, I guess so , Irene said softly.
The gems look amazing in the car .
I took some pictures to send to Ethan and then I called him .
He told me he was going to be busy the rest of the night and I wont see him until tomorrow .
I saw Judy tensing at the mention of Ethan , and I had to stifle a scowl in her direction .
Matt walked in from the living room and when he saw Judy his face lit up .
Can we finish our lessons ? He asked her , completely ignoring the rest of our presence .
Judy gave him a small smile .
Im actually going to head home , she told him gently .
But Ill be here tomorrow .
Matts face fell and my heart tugged for him ; he truly was a lonely kid .
Judy might have been right when she said he craved connection .
But we didnt get to finish , he pouted .noveldrama
She put a hand on his shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze I promise , we will practice longer tomorrow , she assured him .
He looked like he wanted to protest , but I intervened .
What Im hearing is both my kids are home tonight ? I asked , looking at both Irene and Matt .
How about I have the maids cook us a special meal ? We havent had a family dinner in a long time .
Irene seemed to have perked up from that , as did Matt .
Thats a great idea , she said , giving me a side hug .
Im in , Matt said happily .
But only if Judy joins us ! 22
