Judy’s POVI could not believe I actually agreed to this. I stared at myself in the mirror with a frown. I was wearing a female business suit that seemed to have aged me a few years. Matt was right when he said that I could pull off being his mother. For a moment, I had doubts that I could be too yo
“You’re Gavin Landry’s wife?” She asked. “The Gavin Landry?”“Yes,” I said, folding my arms across my chest. “Is there a problem?”“Only that Gavin Landry isn’t married and if he were to get married, it wouldn’t be to a nobody like you,” she said, narrowing her eyes at me. “Do you think I’m an idiot
Judy’s POV“What exactly is going on in here?” Gavin asked as he stepped into the room; his eyes scanning the situation and then landing on the hand that was still very much wrapped around my wrist, marking it red from the force. I watched Gavin’s eyes darken in fury when he noticed the red marks on
He walked me over to the chairs and made me sit in one of them as he sat in the other, his fingers still wrapped around mine gently.“So, tell us what our son had done,” Gavin said, turning his attention to the principal who was watching us warily.Principal Thorne cleared his throat and looked betw
Judy’s POV“W…what are you doing here?” Matt asked, his eyes wide as he stared up at his father.Gavin corked a brow upward and stared back at his son.“I was called in for a parent/teacher conference,” he explained. “I was surprised to see your mother already here.”Matt glanced at me, his cheeks b
Matt followed closely behind us.We didn’t stop walking until we were outside of the school and near the car that Beta Taylor was waiting in. The other Gamma warriors were standing guard, but not close enough where they could hear the conversation, but close enough where they could step in if anythi
Judy’s POV“And he knows that you aren’t his biological child?” I asked, glancing down at a sleeping Matthew.Gavin nodded.“Yes,” he said softly. “He remembers his time with his mother. It wasn’t good and he often still has nightmares. He started to call me dad a few years ago after he started livi
“Rena?” Ethan asked.Irene chuckled.“Childhood nickname,” she explained. “Wallie, this is my fiancé, Ethan.”“Ah, the infinite Ethan. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you. I’ve heard great things from my cousin,” Walter said, shaking Ethan’s hand.“I read some of your work a little bit ago. You are
I shrugged and chewed the inside of my cheek. “I don’t think she really notices how bad things are for me,” I admitted. “When I tried to talk to her about it, she told me that I need to be grateful to the Cash family and I shouldn’t complain too much.” Nan rolled her eyes. “She’s completely bl
Third Person POV “What do you mean you found the perpetrator?” Gavin asked through the mindlink. He glanced at Matt who was still lost in thought. Had he lied to him? Matt has never lied before… has he? “It was a maid,” Taylor continued. “She was found with the peanut butter in her room. The s
“If I knew, I wouldn’t be asking,” I said exasperated. “Talk to me, Matt,” I said more softly as I walked closer to his bed. “Why are you upset with me?” Matt swallowed and I could see the moisture in his eyes; it broke my heart. Whatever was wrong… it was serious. “What did you say to Judy that
Without saying a word to me, Kelsey tipped her nose up and walked straight towards the staircase. We walked around the curvy hallway until we reached the door at the end. She pushed the door open, and I nearly vomited from the smell alone. It was also incredibly dark; when she flipped on the light,
Judy’s POV “Judy! We are so glad you decided to move in as well,” Meredith said as she greeted us at the doorway. Kelsey was also there with her arms folded across her chest and she was glaring at me. I tried hard to not look her in the eyes. This was the last place I wanted to be and the less I h
“I… I apologize,” Taylor said, lowering his gaze. “It was an oversight, and it won’t happen again. I’ll make sure it’s fixed by the end of today.” “What good does that do me now??” Gavin asked, turning to face him fully, his eyes red with fury. “My son was poisoned, and we have no camera footage s
Judy’s POV This was the scariest moment of my life. When Matt took a bite of the sandwich and suddenly, he was dropping to the ground, I had no idea what to do. I had never been put in a position like this before. His entire face turned red and blew-up like a balloon as he grabbed his throat; it w
When she found the Epi-pen in its usual place, she grabbed it and put it into her back pocket, knowing she was going to need it for what she was about to do. “I’ve missed talking to you,” Judy continued as she spread the red jam on the slice of bread. “I truly do think of you as a friend, Irene.”
Judy’s POV I stared at Gavin completely dumbfounded. “What did you just say?” I asked, my voice coming out breathy. “I asked you to move in with me,” he repeated, his face serene as he stared back at me. Even though he repeated it, I still wasn’t convinced I heard him correctly. “You’re jo
