Chapter 0091

My heart lightened a little ; I felt bad for her .

She had no idea about the cruel jerk she was engaged to , but maybe she would start to understand things on her own .

I brushed the thought out of my head ; it wasnt my problem or concern .

I was here to do a job and that was it .

My main focus was on my father and getting his debt paid so he could return to my mother , and we could be a happy family once again .

Matt and I spent the next couple of hours sparring and practicing his defense moves .

Once we were finished , were both panting and covered in sweat .

Good practice , I praised , patting him on the back .

Youve been improving greatly .

I have a great tutor , he replied with a beaming smile .

Thanks for helping me , Judy .

.

You should get inside and shower before dinner .

Im sure the maids are in the process of cooking it as we speak , I told him , glancing at my watch and seeing that it was just past 5 pm .

He nodded and hurried inside

My eyes wandered over to Irene who was no longer staring at her phone ; instead , she was staring at me .

She had an expression on her face that I couldnt quite read … maybe it was nervousness .

Like she wanted to talk to me about something , but she was too afraid to bring it up .

I figured if she wanted to talk , she would , so I turned away and started to clean up my supplies , shoving them into my bag .

I hadnt noticed , or heard her , moving from her seat , but by the time I was done packing up my things and turning back around , she was standing right behind me .

I nearly fell backward in shock .

Sorry , she murmured .

I didnt mean to scare you … She bit her lower lip and rubbed the back of her arm awkwardly as she stood in front of me .

I sighed , giving in .

Is everything okay , Irene ? I asked her .

You seem off today .

As if she was snapping herself out of her daze , she blinked a few times and then lifted her gaze to meet mine .

Im not really sure .

I guess Im just confused , she admitted .

Judy , do you want to go shopping with me tonight ? I raised my brows .

I dont really have the money to go shopping , I admitted , feeling my cheeks redden .noveldrama

It would be my treat of course , she said hurriedly .

We can grab something for dinner too .

Just the two of us .

Is there a reason behind it ? I asked her , raising my brows .

No … I just need someone to talk to , she said softly , glancing at the ground .

Im not sure if Im the best one for that , Irene … I tried to say , but she quickly stopped me .

I dont have anyone else , Judy , she said quickly .

I could use some girl time … please … she pleaded .

Chapter 0091 My heart tugged for the girl , and I found it hard to say no , so I relented with a sigh .

Okay , I told her .

I glanced down at my sweaty gym clothes .

I should probably change though .

I have clothes you can borrow ! She said , grabbing my arm .

Come on ! She pulled me along with her and when we got inside , we nearly ran straight into Gavin .

He froze at the sight of us and then his eyes darkened when he saw our interlocked arms .

What are you two doing ? He asked , staring between the two of us .

Im taking Judy to change her clothes , Irene answered before I could utter a single word .

We are going shopping and to get dinner .

He raised his brows at his daughter and then his eyes focused on me .

Is that so ? I bit my lip and nodded slowly , my eyes never leaving his .

Yes , I answered , my voice coming out way breathier than I wanted it to .

My heart was hammering in my chest and my wolf was immediately perking up being in the presence of Gavin Landry .

I had to fight to keep her under control ; she was embarrassing sometimes .

Irene started to pull me away but as we stepped around Gavin , his hand wrapped around my bicep , halting me in place .

His touch sent a shockwave through my system and goosebumps immediately formed on my flesh .

Irene frowned at her father .

Shell meet you up there , Gavin told his daughter .

She gave me a concerned look before glaring at her father again .

Eventually , she nodded and unhooked her arm from mine .

She quickly hurried up the stairs .

Iturned to look at Gavin who kept his gentle hold on my arm .

Can I help you with something , Alpha ? I asked him , trying to appear innocent .

I dont know what game you are playing , but leave Irene out of it , he said through his teeth .

I was a bit hurt by his words ; I wasnt trying to play any game , and it wasnt right that hed assume otherwise .

Im not sure what you are talking about , I told him truthfully .

You can pretend all you want , but I know women like you .

Youll step on anyone if it means getting what you want , he murmured , his voice low and threatening .

You already have my nephew wrapped around your finger , Im sure hes a part of your pawn as well .

If you hurt my daughter , Ill make your life a living hell .
