The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 147

Chapter 0147 He sighed and shook his head .

Not even a little bit … but Irene … shes fragile , Gavin murmured, shaking his own head .

Taking Ethan away from her would destroy her and I worry about what she might do if that happens .

Shes my daughter and I only care about her happiness .

I just hope Ethan shapes up once its time to marry her , so he never hurts her again .

When I didnt say anything , his expression softened .

Plus , Irene is an adult now .

I cant exactly tell her what to do , as much as I want to , he continued .

Youre a Lycan chairman , Gavin .

Not to mention her father , I reminded him .

You have every right to tell her what to do .

But at the cost of my daughter ? He asked in return .

I cant lose her , Judy .

You out of everyone should know how important family is .

His words struck a chord inside of me and for some reason , I felt a little hurt .

I took a step back from him .

Of course , I know how important family is , Gavin , I told him .

Mine is falling apart and I would do anything to get things back to normal , but that doesnt seem to be happening , does it ? He furrowed his brows .

What exactly are you talking about ? I stared at him dumbfounded .

Did he really not know what was happening in my life ? Was he that self- centered that he had no idea how badly my family and were struggling ? It was like a slap in the face and reality came crashing down around me .

Gavin doesnt truly care about me … he only cared about having sex and getting his mother off his back .

This was the arrangement , so I shouldnt be surprised , but it still hurt just the same .

I bit my lip , fighting hard to keep the tears away .

I think Im going to go home , I told him , turning away .

My mother is probably wondering why I havent been home , and I really dont want to worry her .

Are you upset ? Gavin asked , I could hear the frown his words .

No , I lied .

Its just been a long day , and you should probably spend some time with your family .

They need you more than I do .
