The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 72

Chapter 0072 Judys POV W … what are you doing here ? Matt asked , his eyes wide as he stared up at his father .

Gavin corked a brow upward and stared back at his son I was called in for a parent / teacher conference , he explained .

I was surprised to see your mother already here .

Matt glanced at me , his cheeks burning red , matching mine .

My … my mother … Matt whispered , staring at the ground now .

Yes , Gavin said , tucking a strand of hair behind my ear and running his fingers down my cheek , causing goosebumps to form on my flesh .

I thought she had to work today and wouldnt be able to make it .

I was surmised when I saw her here .

Matt lifted his gaze to look at us ; questions surfacing in his eyes and a lot of confusion .

He was just as lost as I was .

He couldnt believe that his father was actually playing along with our antics .

I asked her if she could come here instead .

I didnt want you to be mad at me , Matt admitted , shifting in his shoes uncomfortably .

I see , Gavin said , leaning back in his seat .

And you thought I wouldnt understand your situation ? Matt nodded , biting his lower lip and chewing on it nervously .

I didnt want you to be disappointed in me , he murmured .

Im sorry , Dad .

How about you tell me exactly what had happened , Gavin said , his eyes never leaving his sons .

Why did you beat up that boy ? Matt lifted his gaze to meet his fathers and then he looked at me .

His cheeks were getting even redder , and I knew he didnt want to say it out loud .

I wondered what had happened to cause him to act this way , but I also knew it wasnt my business .

I wasnt really his mother .

Come to think of it ; I wasnt really sure who his mother was .

I knew that Gavins fated mate died during childbirth years ago , but did she die during Irenes birth , or Matthews birth ? If it was Irenes birth , then Matthew would have had to have come from a different woman .

I didnt even know Gavin had a son until I started tutoring him ; hes been kept out of the limelight for so long , that I found myself more curious about the dynamic than anything .

Now , Id like to know what exactly you are going to do about that boy who was bullying my son? The principal looked taken aback as he looked from Matt to Gavin and then to me .

I … Im so sorry , I had no idea … No , you didnt , Gavin said , interrupting him .noveldrama

You didnt bother to ask .

You were quick to point your fingers at Matthew without giving him a proper chance to explain things .

As the biggest shareholder of this school , I want that boy suspended for what he had done to my son and if he ever speaks another ill word to anyone else in this school , especially Matt , then he will get expelled .

As for Matt , no punishment is deserved at this time .

Gavin stood up , taking hold of my hand once again and pulling me to my feet as well .

Ill be taking him home for the rest of the day , Gavin said with finality .

Y … yes sir , Principal Thorne said , lowering his gaze I apologize for this misunderstanding .

As Gavin started to walk towards the door , he paused before opening it .

Oh , and youll need a new receptionist .

My Beta just red yours , he added and then he opened the door and stormed out of the office , pulling me along with him .
