The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 73

Chapter 0073 Matt followed closely behind us .

We didnt 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 .

Its my fault , Dad .

I asked her to pretend to be my mom , Matt blurted , quickly trying to reason with his father .

I didnt want you to be upset .

I was scared so I asked Judy if she could help me during our tutoring session last night .

Gavins 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 .

Im Alpha .

I didnt 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 , dont you think ? I nodded and bit my lower lip .

I wasnt thinking properly .

I shouldnt have insinuated that we were married , I murmured .

Im sorry .

He shook his head as if he was disappointed in me .

I couldnt help but feel like a child being scolded by her parent .

Please , dont be upset with her .

It was my idea , Matt said , grabbing his fathers arm .

Dont be mad at Judy .

Shes the adult , Gavin said , narrowing his eyes at his son .

She should have known better .

Its okay , Matthew , I said , trying to keep the tears from spilling out of my eyes .

Pm sorry I couldnt pull this off for you .

But you dont 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 thats 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 .
