Chapter 0073 Matt followed closely behind us .


    We didnt 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 anything were to happen .


    Want to tell me what the hell you two were thinking ? Gavin asked , finally releasing his hold on my hand .


    I dropped my gaze to the ground .


    Its my fault , Dad .


    I asked her to pretend to be my mom , Matt blurted , quickly trying to reason with his father .


    I didnt want you to be upset .


    I was scared so I asked Judy if she could help me during our tutoring sessionst night .


    Gavins eyes flickered to me .


    And you went along with it ? He asked , narrowing his eyes .


    I probably should have asked him more questions about what had happened , I admitted .


    Im Alpha .


    I didnt mean to deceive you .


    # sorry , You are both foolish and acted childishly .


    Did you not think that they would ask questions about my marriage ? The world would have known if I had gotten married , dont you think ? I nodded and bit my lower lip .


    I wasnt thinking properly .


    I shouldnt have insinuated that we were married , I murmured .


    Im sorry .


    He shook his head as if he was disappointed in me .


    I couldnt help but feel like a child being scolded by her parent .


    Please , dont be upset with her .


    It was my idea , Matt said , grabbing his fathers arm .


    Dont be mad at Judy .


    Shes the adult , Gavin said , narrowing his eyes at his son .


    She should have known better .


    Its okay , Matthew , I said , trying to keep the tears from spilling out of my eyes .


    Pm sorry I couldnt pull this off for you .


    But you dont need to defend me .


    will take whatever punishment he hands me .


    I turned to face Gavin and took a deep breath .


    If you want to fire me , then thats okay .


    I will find a new job , I told him .


    Gavin narrowed his eyes at me , and he stared at me for a long moment before rolling his eyes and walking towards the car .


    I turned around to face him , watching his retreating back .


    I furrowed my brows .


    Confused about what had just happened .


    I looked down at Matt who was equally confused .


    Matt then shrugged and walked towards the car as well .


    I stayed rooted to the ground , unsure if they wanted me to follow them or not .


    It wasnt until they were  Chapter 0073 both in the car that Gavin nced in my direction .


    Get in , we dont have all day , he muttered .


    I quickly joined them in the backseat of the car .


    Beta Taylor had the window separating the backseat from the front seat rolled up , giving us some privacy .


    We were stuck in traffic for a bit , and it was taking the ride longer than usual to get back to Gavins vi .


    At one point , Matt ended up falling asleep .


    He rested his head on my arm , and I felt his breathing lighten .


    Gavin looked down at his son and sighed .


    Im sorry , I said in a soft tone .


    For how things went down today .


    I shouldnt have gone along with it .


    No , you shouldnt have , he replied sharply but also keeping his tone low so he wouldnt wake Matt .


    I sighed and nced out the window , not sure what more to say .


    But thank you for being there for him , he added , surprising me .


    I turned ot look back at him , blinking a few times .


    Youre thanking me ? I asked , raising my brows .


    Dont let it get to your head , Gavin murmured .


    Matt doesnt have a mother figure in his life , so its nice that you were there for him when he needed one , I bit my lip , unable ot keep the smile from spreading across my face .


    Im sorry if this is a bold question , but who is Matts thother ? Gavin was quiet for a long while and I thought for a second he wasnt going to answer me .


    Honestly , I expected him not to answer me .


    But then he nced in my direction .


    My sister .


    I gasped and snapped a look in his direction .


    What ? I asked , shocked .


    Dont get the wrong idea , he said sharply .


    Matt is my sisters child .


    Im his uncle .


    Realization dawned on me ; Matt wasnt actually Gavins son .


    Thats why his identity has been kept out of the limelight for so long ! What happened to your sister ? I asked .


    Shes in a rehab facility getting the help she needs .


    Matt was young when he was taken out of her home .


    It wasnt a good environment .


    I didnt want him growing up as a foster child , so I took him in .


    he started calling me dad a few years
