Chapter 46
Judys POV Matthew ! What have you o done ?? ho I heard Irene shrieking from the back porch steps .
I hadnt even known she was there , and I wondered how long she had been watchingus for .
I watched as Matts face turned pale and his eyes grew misty with unshed tears .
Im so sorry , Judy , he said , his bottom lip trembling I didnt mean to .
I- his voice trailed off as he hiccupped .
Sometimes I forget that hes just a little boy until moments like these .
My gaze softened and I gave him a small smile as I knelt down in front of him .
It was an accident , I told him , putting my hand on his shoulder and giving it a gentle squeeze .
I know you didnt mean to and Im not mad at you , Matt .
Dad is going to be so upset , he said in a low whisper , his gaze shifting downward .
Your father wont have to know a thing , I told him .
I wont say a word to him .
Itll be our secret .
Really ? He asked , lifting his gaze to meet mine .
I smiled .
Of course , I told him .
How about you get cleaned up ? Im sure the maids will have dinner ready for you shortly He wiped at his cheeks where a couple of tears had fallen and then he gave me a smile as he nodded .
Okay , he said gently .
He turned and walked back towards the villa .
I sighed and stood up , brushing the dirt off my pants .
You are really good with him , Irene said as she walked towards me .
Ive never seen anyone like that with him .
Its no wonder he likes you .
I guess Im just good with kids , I said , shrugging casually .
I turned towards my bag that was resting against a tree nearby .
I grabbed it and started to clean up my stuff , fully aware that Irene was watching my every move ..
I think its something more , she said thoughtfully .
He sees something in you that he didnt see in the others .
Its fascinating honestly .
I couldnt help but smile at that thought .
oing to call Hes a special little boy and deserves the world , I told her I shouldered my bag and faced her .
Im going an Uber and get going .
Her eyes widened .
Η You cant leave with your shirt like that ! She said , staring down at the shirt that was barely hanging on my body .
Thankfully , I was wearing a sports bra underneath , but still … I felt exposed and uncomfortable .
You are barely covered and the last thing you want is a stranger looking at you .
Come with me .
She didnt give me a choice ; she grabbed my arm and pulled me along with her towards the villa .
I didnt bother fighting her ; I let her pull me into the house and up the large stairs , I knew Gavin would be pissed that I was upstairs on their personal floor , but Irene didnt seem to care .
She continued to pull me along with her down the hallway until we reached a door , I assumed was her bedroom .
、 ་ Chapter 0046 She pushed the door open and tugged me along with her until I practically stumbled into the room .
She then proceeded to shut the door behind me .
I wrapped my arms around my body , unsure of what to do or say .
I felt a little uncomfortable in her room and the first scent that slapped me in the face as soon as I stepped foot in here was Ethans .
I stared at the bed that I knew theyd shared numerous times in the past and my stomach twisted at the very thought .
On her nightstand was a picture of her and Ethan holding one another , looking into each others eyes like they meant the world to each other .
I would have to give credit where it was due .
Ethan was a great actor .
I knew he didnt care about Irene ; he was only using her to solidify his role as Alpha It wasnt fair to Irene and a part of me wanted to warn her about him , but it wasnt my place .
It would only hurt her and there was a big chance she wouldnt even believe the I turned away from the picture and watched as she rummaged through her closet .
You really dont have to do this , I told her ; I was seconds away from backing out of this room , not sure how long I could handle being in here any longer .
Nonsense , she told me from over her shoulder .
Its no big deal .
Plus , you cant walk around without a proper shirt .
