The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 459

Chapter 459

Gavin’s POV

My mother had crossed a line tonight. I knew tonight’s dinner was going to end up disastrous, but had no idea she would end up attacking Judy so boldly like that. I was angry and replaying the evening in my head as I drove Judy home. I was well aware of how awkward the silence was that stretched between us.

When I looked over at her I could see she was lost in her own thoughts, probably thinking about all the questions my mother had asked her. I clenched my fists around the steering wheel, feeling a heavy weight on my shoulders. I fixed my attention back on the road, anger rolling off me in waves.

My mother had never pissed me and my wolf off like that but for some reason, I nearly lost control of him tonight. I had to get out of there before my wolf forgot that she was our mother and did something we’d regret.

I couldn’t take the silence for much longer. I didn’t want Judy to think the absolute worst after such a disastrous dinner.

So, I uttered words that made me seem weak and vulnerable.

“I’m sorry…”

The words came out as nothing more than a whisper; they were barely audible even to my own Lycan ears.

Judy pulled her gaze away from the window to look at me.

“What?” She asked.

I was quiet for a moment, debating whether or not I should repeat myself or not. I eventually sighed, giving in. “I said I’m sorry,” I said a bit louder. “My mother was out of line. You didn’t deserve that. I wouldn’t have brought you if I knew what she was planning.”

She pressed her lips together and gave me a look I wasn’t quite prepared for.

“What did you think was going to happen, Gavin?” She asked, that fire returning to her eyes. “Your mother made it obvious from the moment I met her that she thought very little of me. She hates me and suddenly she wants to. meet me for dinner. I knew this evening was going to be hell the second you mentioned going to dinner at her place.”
