The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 50

Chapter 0050 Judys POV All three of them stared at me .

Irene and Matt with smiles on their faces and Gavin with a frown .

I stood in front of them with my eyes wide and my heart thuddling violently in my chest .noveldrama

I wasnt sure what to say as an excuse to get out of this .

There was no way I was going to have dinner with Gavin and his family .

I really should go .

I managed to sputter , pointing over my shoulder at the door and giving an awkward and desperate sounding laugh .

Please , Judy , Matt pleaded , grabbing onto my arm .

I really want you to stay .

It would be nice to have another woman at the table , Irene agreed , a flicker of hope in her eyes .

She truly was desperate for friends , and she would get them any way that she could .

I glanced up at Gavin , hoping that he would say something to help me out here .

But he just sighed and ran his fingers through his hair .

He glanced at Irene and then at Matt before he turned towards the maid who had walked in upon his command .

Set an extra plate for Miss Montague , he ordered .

My entire heart fell deep into my stomach Yes , Alpha , the maid said , bowing her head in respect and quickly hurrying towards the kitchen .

Gavin then turned to look at me , his eyes hard and his face expressionless .

I stared at him in disbelief .

I couldnt believe he just did that .

It was clear from his expression that he didnt want me to stay , so why was he forcing me ? I wanted to ask him , but I didnt want to make a scene in front of Matt ; he was jumping up and down excitedly because I was joining them for dinner , and I didnt want to burst his little bubble .

That was probably what Gavin was thinking too ; from what I heard , Matt being happy and excited about something was a rarity .

I would hate myself if I was the reason that smile got wiped from his face .

This is so exciting , Irene said , clapping her hands together .

Come on , Matt.

Lets get ready for dinner .

Matt nodded and went with Irene toward the kitchen , leaving me alone with Gavin .

I immediately turned and glared up at him , my lips pressed in a thin line and my eyes harrowed .

He pretended he didnt notice ; he looked everywhere but me and that only made me even more mad .

What was that ? I asked him , putting my hands on my hips as I continued to stare at him .

What was what ? He asked , playing dumb .

I rolled my eyes at the act .

Did I want him to kiss me again ? I bit my lip , already deciding that I did .

I wanted to kiss Gavin Landry .

But as if he was slapped back to reality , he released my arm and straightened his posture .

I blinked a few times , broken from the trance I was under , and I stared up at him , my cheeks reddening .

Its just dinner , Judy , he reminded me .

Dont go around thinking this changes anything .

He walked around me and towards the kitchen without sparing me another look .

I reached my fingers up to touch my cheek , they were burning hot .

I cleared my throat , trying to bring my mind back to the present moment before I took a deep breath and followed him into the kitchen .

Irene and Matt were already seated , there were two more plates on the table in front of the seats , one of which was at the head of the table .

The other was right next to it .

My stomach tightened knowing that that was the spot they wanted me to sit … right next to Gavin .

Gavin seemed to have noticed this too because he let out as ghas he walked towards the table .

The entire dining room smelled like delicious food and my mouth started to water , I realized I hadnt had a chance to eat all day .

Between seeing my father in prison and coming straight here to tutor Matt , the time kind of slipped away from
