The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 144

2/2 Chapter 0144 Third Person POV Ethan returned to his room later that night after saying goodnight to his family .

He was planning on taking Irene home , but when he saw that she wasnt there , he frowned .

His room was completely empty .

He grabbed his phone and checked his messages , seeing that he had a missed text message from her .

Irene : I went home .

Enjoy your time with your family .

Ill see you soon , Love y you .

was Ethan sighed and shoved his phone back into his pocket .

He couldnt even say that he was upset ; he relieved that she decided to leave .

It meant he didnt have to pretend to be happy for another moment tonight .

The memory of watching Judy leaving with Gavin Landry made an icy chill creep up Ethans spine .

He remembered the way he stood up for her and how Judy looked at him as if he hung the moon .

It infuriated Ethan more than anything .

Had she truly moved on from him ? They were fated mates after all , and she still wore his mark on her neck .

How could it be possible for her to harvest no feelings towards him ? He felt sick to his stomach .

He didnt want to lose Judy .

He only wanted to marry Irene because of her status as Gavin Landys daughter .

Gavin could single handily make him the new Alpha of the Redmoon pack .

But he still wanted to keep Judy on the side .

He was furious at the thought of her in the arms of another man .

He decided instead of going home , he wanted to go to the local pub .

He needed a drink to get his mind off Judy and the idea of her with someone else .

The bar wasnt far from his familys house , so he decided to walk there instead , taking in the fresh cold air and the beauty of autumn night .

The bar wasnt super busy at this hour , but there were a few stragglers hanging out and talking amongst one another .

Some of which Ethan recognized from the pack .

They nodded at him as he walked by and he nodded back .

What can I get for you ? The bartender , Charlie , asked .

A whiskey , Ethan murmured , putting his credit card on the counter .

And keep them coming .

Rough night ? Charlie asked as he took the card and opened his tab .

Something like that .

Ethan said , running his fingers through his hair .

Charlie chuckled and grabbed his drink , sliding it across the counter for Ethan to catch , which he knew he would .

Ethan downed it in on go , which shocked even the bartender .
