The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 165

Chapter 0165 Judys POV I was about to protest that I couldnt just leave with him without others being suspicious .

But before I could utter a single word , there was a knock on the door .

My entire body tensed , and I felt my cheeks burning hot .

Gavin didnt seem to be as worried because he backed away from me and then he winked .

It made my checks burn even more and I wanted to jump in front of him to keep him from opening that door , but it was too late .

He swung open the door , and my mother stood on the other side with wide eyes .

She stared up at Gavin , her body trembling before her eyes found mine .

Judy , sweetie , she breathed as she brushed past Gavin and entered the bathroom .

Are you okay ? What happened to you ? Its okay , I rushed out , not wanting her to worry .

okay .

Gavin patched me up .

Im good as new .

I showed her my hand and she cradled it gently , tears filling her eyes .

I knew my mother was aware of what was going on with me , but she was pretending that everything was okay , acting as if she wasnt seeing or hearing things through the grapevines .

I couldnt blame her ; she was only doing all of this for my father .

She wanted him out of prison desperately and she would do anything to make that happen .

At one point , I would have done the same thing for Ethan .

Im so sorry , she whispered .

Its honestly okay , Mom , I reassured her .

It was only an accident .

It happens .

I hated lying to her , but I didnt know what else to say to make her feel better .

Gavins eyes darkened because he knew it was a lie ; he saw what had happened and he was furious on my behalf .

I gave him a slight head shake as my mother threw her arms around me to hug me ; I didnt want him to reveal my lie .

He sighed and folded his arms across his chest .

I have a separate mansion in my pack , Gavin went on to say as my mother untangled herself from my arms .

Its fully staffed and Im only there when I have business at the Northern Border .

I want you both to live there .

There are no stipulations .

My mothers eyes widened as she stared up at him ; I was at a loss for words .

He was offering my mother a way out as well .

My heart swelled and tears filled my eyes .

I expected my mother to jump at the opportunity right away , but when she said nothing , my heart began to grow heavy as I stared at her concerned face .

Alpha , would you mind if I spoke to my daughter alone ? She asked him .

He looked a bit taken aback as well as he met my eyes ; was just as confused .
