Chapter 68
Judys POV I could not believe I actually agreed to this .
I stared at myself in the mirror with a frown .
I was wearing a female business suit that seemed to have aged me a few years .
Matt was right when he said that I could pull off being his mother .
For a moment , I had doubts that I could be too young , and the teachers would never fall for it .
But those doubts slipped away when I grabbed one of my mothers business attires and slipped it on .
I glanced at the clock and sighed ; I only had a few minutes before my Uber arrived and took me to Matts school .
I wasnt even sure what it was he did that got him in trouble .
I should have asked so I could better prepare my response .
It had to be the response of a parent though ; I had to be angry with him and give him a stern talking to .
I ran my fingers through my hair , wondering if maybe I should put my hair in a low ponytail instead of leaving it down .
I swallowed the lump in my throat and shook my head ; no … if I cant pull off being his mother , then my next bet is to seduce the teacher .
Or so Nan would tell me if I were to tell her what I was up to today .
The honking outside indicated that my Uber was there I took a deep breath before giving myself one more look in the mirror .
Satisfied with my attire , I grabbed my purse off my bed , shouldered it , and quickly left the room .
I was surprised that my mother was in the living room when I got downstairs ; and even more surprised when I saw that she was sipping on a cup of coffee .
When she saw me , she gave me a small smile and motioned for the kitchen with her head .
I brewed some coffee if youd like some , she offered You brewed the coffee yourself ? I asked .
She raised her brows at me .
Im capable of brewing coffee , Judy , she told me , her tone flat .
1 blinked a few times .
I didnt mean it like that , Mom .
I just meant you havent really been up to doing anything lately is all , I told her .
Im glad youre out of bed .
I figured its time that I start making some changes in my life and I cant do that if Im stuck in my room all day , can I ? She asked , taking another sip of her coffee .
I smiled and walked around the couch to hug her .
As I wrapped my arms around her , her body seemed to have stiffened .
But it only lasted a moment because soon she was relaxing and resting her head on my shoulder .
Then she lifted her head to look at me with a frown .
Are you wearing my clothes ? She asked .
I swallowed and gave her an awkward laugh .
Chapter 0068 I have an interview , I lied .
I needed something professional to wear .
Would this job be good paying ? She asked .
I nodded .
Maybe even enough to pay off Dads debt , I told her .
Her face lit up .
I have a meeting with his lawyers today to discuss some other options they may have found , she told me .
Ill keep you posted on what I find out .
I nodded .
and w Ill be home a little later can talk then , I assured her .
The honking outside grew more constant and I knew if I didnt go outside right now , the Uber driver would drive away without me .
I have ot go , I told her , kissing her cheek .
I love you .
I love you , Judy , she said thoughtfully .
I quickly ran out of the house and into the backseat of the Uber .
The ride was quiet as we reached the school and as the Uber driver parked , my anxiety only grew more intense .
I thanked him and slipped out of the car .
When I walked into the school , the halls were quiet .
I assumed most students were in class .
It didnt take me long to reach the main office because it was near the schools front entrance .
The receptionist , a young blonde woman , was typing away on her computer , barely paying attention to anything going on around her .
She barely spared me a look as I stepped in front of her desk .
I had to clear my throat a couple of times for her to acknowledge me finally .
She sighed and lifted her gaze to meet mine .
Can I help you ? She asked , raising her perfectly trimmed brows .
Yes , Im here to speak with the principal , I said , taking in the blonde in front of me .
And who might you be ? Judy Landry , I lied .
Im Matts mom .
She narrowed her eyes at me , taking me in from my toes to my head before she let out a bark of laughter .
She had to sit back in her seat and hold her stomach while she continued to laugh ; my checks burned hot .
She could see right through me because if I was Mrs.
Landry , that meant I was married to Gavin Landry , and everybody knew that Gavin was an eligible bachelor and a playboy .
I should have thought that through before speaking , but now that the lie was out there , I couldnt exactly take it back .
