The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 46

Chapter 0046 Judys POV Matthew ! What have you o done ?? ho I heard Irene shrieking from the back porch steps .

I hadnt even known she was there , and I wondered how long she had been watchingus for .

I watched as Matts face turned pale and his eyes grew misty with unshed tears .

Im so sorry , Judy , he said , his bottom lip trembling I didnt mean to .

I- his voice trailed off as he hiccupped .

Sometimes I forget that hes just a little boy until moments like these .

My gaze softened and I gave him a small smile as I knelt down in front of him .

It was an accident , I told him , putting my hand on his shoulder and giving it a gentle squeeze .

I know you didnt mean to and Im not mad at you , Matt .

Dad is going to be so upset , he said in a low whisper , his gaze shifting downward .

Your father wont have to know a thing , I told him .

I wont say a word to him .

Itll be our secret .

Really ? He asked , lifting his gaze to meet mine .

I smiled .

Of course , I told him .

How about you get cleaned up ? Im sure the maids will have dinner ready for you shortly He wiped at his cheeks where a couple of tears had fallen and then he gave me a smile as he nodded .

Okay , he said gently .

He turned and walked back towards the villa .

I sighed and stood up , brushing the dirt off my pants .

You are really good with him , Irene said as she walked towards me .noveldrama

Ive never seen anyone like that with him .

Its no wonder he likes you .

I guess Im just good with kids , I said , shrugging casually .

I turned towards my bag that was resting against a tree nearby .

I grabbed it and started to clean up my stuff , fully aware that Irene was watching my every move ..

I think its something more , she said thoughtfully .

She then proceeded to shut the door behind me .

I wrapped my arms around my body , unsure of what to do or say .

I felt a little uncomfortable in her room and the first scent that slapped me in the face as soon as I stepped foot in here was Ethans .

I stared at the bed that I knew theyd shared numerous times in the past and my stomach twisted at the very thought .

On her nightstand was a picture of her and Ethan holding one another , looking into each others eyes like they meant the world to each other .

I would have to give credit where it was due .

Ethan was a great actor .

I knew he didnt care about Irene ; he was only using her to solidify his role as Alpha It wasnt fair to Irene and a part of me wanted to warn her about him , but it wasnt my place .

It would only hurt her and there was a big chance she wouldnt even believe the I turned away from the picture and watched as she rummaged through her closet .

You really dont have to do this , I told her ; I was seconds away from backing out of this room , not sure how long I could handle being in here any longer .

Nonsense , she told me from over her shoulder .

Its no big deal .

Plus , you cant walk around without a proper shirt .
