Chapter 73

Chapter 0073 Matt followed closely behind us.

+25 BONUS We didn’t 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.

“It’s my fault, Dad. I asked her to pretend to be my mom,” Matt blurted, quickly trying to reason with his father. “I didn’t want you to be upset. I was scared so I asked Judy if she could help me during our tutoring session last night.”

Gavin’s 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. “I’m Alpha. I didn’t 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, don’t you think?”

I nodded and bit my lower lip.

“I wasn’t thinking properly. I shouldn’t have insinuated that we were married,” I murmured. “I’m sorry.”

He shook his head as if he was disappointed in me. I couldn’t help but feel like a child being scolded by her parent.

“Please, don’t be upset with her. It was my idea,” Matt said, grabbing his father’s arm. “Don’t be mad at Judy.”

“She’s the adult,” Gavin said, narrowing his eyes at his son. “She should have known better.”

“It’s okay, Matthew,” I said, trying to keep the tears from spilling out of my eyes. “P’m sorry I couldn’t pull this off for you. But you don’t 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 that’s 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 wasn’t until they were +25 BONUS Chapter 0073 both in the car that Gavin glanced in my direction.

“Get in, we don’t 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 Gavin’s 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.

“I’m sorry,” I said in a soft tone. “For how things went down today. I shouldn’t have gone along with it.”

“No, you shouldn’t have,” he replied sharply but also keeping his tone low so he wouldn’t 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.

“You’re thanking me?” I asked, raising my brows.

“Don’t let it get to your head,” Gavin murmured. “Matt doesn’t have a mother figure in his life, so it’s 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.

“I’m sorry if this is a bold question, but who is Matt’s thother?”

Gavin was quiet for a long while and I thought for a second he wasn’t 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.

“Don’t get the wrong idea,” he said sharply. “Matt is my sister’s child. I’m his uncle.”

Realization dawned on me; Matt wasn’t actually Gavin’s son. That’s why his identity has been kept out of the limelight for so long!

“What happened to your sister?” I asked.

“She’s in a rehab facility getting the help she needs. Matt was young when he was taken out of her home. It wasn’t a good environment. I didn’t want him growing up as a foster child, so I took him in. he started calling me dad a few years
