The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 122

Chapter 0122 Walter ? I asked after a long pause .

He blinked a few times and cleared his throat , meeting my eyes , he gave me a boyish smile .

I like you , Judy , he blurted out , making me raise my brows .

I really like you .

I think I could potentially fall in love with you .

My heart sank in my chest ; any woman would love to hear those words , especially from Walter Landry .

He was every womans eye candy , and I was so lucky to be in this position with him … but I didnt feel the same way about him .

I thought of him more like a friend than anything .

But I truly did not want to hurt him .

So , I wanted to ask you … if … youd be my girlfriend , he concluded , his eyes shining with hope and love .

It made my stomach twist guiltily .

I twiddled with my fingers thinking about that kiss on the dance floor and the fact that I had sex with his uncle the other day .

My cheeks flushed at the memory , and I bit my lower lip .

Walter … I said slowly , a sigh leaving my lips .

It was enough for him to know that this wasnt going to be a good conversation and that I wasnt giving him the answer he wanted .

I watched as his face fell a little , but he remained silent so that I could continue .

I think youre a really great guy , I told him , looking up to meet his eyes .

And any woman would be so lucky to have you .

But Im not really in a place to be seriously involved with anyone .

As you already know , my fated mate is marrying another woman , and my wolf is messed up over it … Im not like him though , Walter said , grabbing a hold of my arm , startling me .

Im different than him .noveldrama

I would never hurt you .

Just give it some time and you can grow to love me as can your wolf .

I shook my head and tried to pull my hand away from him .

Walter , youre amazing and Im so sorry .

I dont want to hurt you , t about you as you do for me .

I tried … I truly did but- I just dont feel the same way Then try harder ! He exclaimed , his grip tightening We have fun together and we have amazing chemistry , Judy .

As friends , I told him , trying to keep my tone under control so we wouldnt draw any unwanted attention .

Im sorry .

I was out of line , he murmured .

But I dont understand why we cant be together .

I mean you came here as my date didnt you ? You let me kiss you multiple times tonight .

And now youre telling me you only see me as a friend ? It doesnt make any sense .

Did something happen ? I saw someone with you earlier today … Is it because of him ? My heart fell into my stomach .

He saw me with that guy earlier ? Did he see us kissing ? My face must have been enough of an answer because that fury was back in his eyes as he glared down at me .

It is , isnt it ? He asked in a growl .

Something happened between you two .

Didnt it ? Walter- He grabbed my arm again , this time even harder and let out a distressed whimper .

You truly are a slut ! He hissed .

I wish I never met you , Judy Montague ! Let me go ! I growled , my fight and flight activating You have no right to touch me like this ! I dont want to be with you , so just leave me alone- The sting in my cheek cut off my words and the taste of blood filled my mouth before I even realized what had happened .

I stared up at him and saw the anger in his eyes and his own hand red from the -impact .

He just slapped me across the face .
