The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473

I gave him a sad smile.

“I think over time he will learn to forgive her,” I told him honestly. “It’s not something to rush, though. You just found out

something devastating, and it’s going to take time. You need to sit with it for the time being, but also remember that there are

people who love you and will always be there to protect you.”

He was quiet for a long while, and then he sighed.

“You know what’s funny?” He said, his eyes looking away from me for a moment before looking back at me. “I’m mainly just

angry because she tried to frame you…”

My heart pinged at his words.

“You are?” I asked.

He nodded.

“You’re the best thing that ever happened to this family, Judy. Because of you… I’m better at combat and defense… I’m better at

school… I’m making my dad proud, and he’s home a lot more. He smiles and is happy. It’s like we are a real family.

“You’ve always been a real family, Matt,” I told him.

He shook his head.

”

“It was never like that before. Before, my dad was never home… he never smiled. He treated us like we were his employees. But

now that’s all changed, and it’s because of you…” He told me. “So, the thought of Irene almost ruining that…”

He closed his eyes as his emotions started to get the best of him. It helped that the sleep medication was relaxing him and making

him sleepy, but I could tell his wolf was on edge at the very thought.

“It makes me and my wolf angry,” he whispered.

I put my hand on top of Matt’s and gave him a reassuring smile.

“No matter what happens, no matter what has happened or what would have happened, nothing would ever change between us,

Matt. I would find a way to stay in your life. I’ve grown to adore your family. You can’t get rid of me that easily.”

He was quiet for a moment as he processed my words.

“Can I ask you something?” He asked, his eyes finding mine.

“Of course, you can ask me anything,” I told him.

He let out a yawn, and I knew it wouldn’t be long before sleep overtook him.

“Do you love my father?”

My heart hammered in my chest at lightning speed. I glanced at the small window next to the door that looked out into the hallway, and I saw Gavin having a serious conversation with Eliza. His body was tense as he listened to everything she was saying. Despite the tension, I couldn’t help but notice how amazing he looked. There was never a bad moment when it came to his looks,

and I couldn’t help but bite my lower lip as I sized him up and down. But it was more than that; these last couple of weeks had

shown me that Gavin does have good intentions. That date we went on… how he stood up for me during that dinner party at his

mother’s house… all the time we’ve been intimate with one another; even how he calms my wolf without even trying.

There were so many emotions that have been bubbling up throughout these last few weeks but with Matt’s heavy question

weighing on my shoulders, I wondered if the feelings that are bubbling consist of love.

Matt’s eyes were now closed; he was asleep before he could hear my answer and a part of me felt bad. I wondered if He was going

to remember that question when he woke up next.
