The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 126

Chapter 0126 1 flushed from his words ; I didnt take him for someone who would care about such a thing , especially not when it came to me ..

You shouldnt be too hard on him .

Hes your nephew … Which makes it worse , Gavin muttered .

Hes family and my family never raise their hand to women .

It cant go without punishment .

I knew there was no changing his mind on this ; I bit the inside of my cheek and stared down at my hands .

He asked me to be his girlfriend , I whispered , making Gavin tense from beside me .

And I said no .

He was angry with me … he said some pretty cruel things .

Why did you decline his offer ? He didnt sound accusatory , more just curious like he was trying to keep the conversation going .

My heart swelled a little more thinking that maybe he did care for me … at least a little bit .

I didnt feel the same way about him , I admitted .

I didnt want to hurt him … but I didnt like him in the same way that he liked me .

Gavin nodded , his expression softening .

And he got angry , he said softly ; it wasnt a question , but I nodded anyway .

Yes , I confirmed .

He got angry .

Gavin wrapped an arm around me and pulled me into his side , wrapping me with his warmth and comfort .

I felt my body relaxing almost immediately and my heart eased .

I thought we decided that the other night was a mistake , and we were going to pretend it never happened , I blurted before I could stop myself .

You decided that .

I raised my brows and looked up at him .

And thats not what you wanted ? I asked him .

I wasnt really thinking about it , he admitted .

And now ? He was quiet for a moment , at first , I didnt think he was going to answer my question , but then he let out a shuddering breath .

And now , I think we should be together .

My heart stilled in my chest and my jaw all but dropped .

Im sorry … what ? Chapter 0126 Lets be together .

Even though he had said it twice , I still wasnt sure if heard him correctly .

I stared at him blankly , not sure what to say in response .

Was he kidding ? Do I laugh ? Do I agree ? Did I want to be with him like that ? He was Irenes father and my exs father in law .

Not to mention my boss .
