Chapter 0138 Judys POV Mom , you cant be serious ! I gasped .


    How could you agree to such a thing .


    I know its not the ideal situation but- Not the ideal situation ?! Dont raise your voice at me , Judy , my mother scolded , We need the money , and I am running out of options .


    If they are so keen on you selling our house for the money , then why not let us borrow money ? I thought you were going to ask them ! I eximed , shaking my head at the logic .


    It doesnt make any sense .


    I couldnt bring myself to ask them .


    Especially after Raymond exined how he made some risky investments and hes worried about the turnout , she exined , sighing .


    Plus , my pride wouldnt allow me to ask them for handouts .


    But you have no problems having me ask Ethan for handouts ? I countered , raising my brows .


    Thats different , she murmured .


    Hes your fated mate and you were supposed to marry him .


    Isnt Meredith your friend ? I asked her , giving her a pointed look .


    Why not ask her for money ? She bit her lower lip and stared down at the towel in her hands .


    I just cant bring myself to do it .


    This is the easiest solution , and Ill still have my pride .


    Living here wont be so bad .


    They were kind enough to open their doors to us and Im going to ept their offer .


    Is living here not damaging to your pride as well ? I asked her .


    She sighed and lifted her gaze to meet mine .


    Its different , she told me gently .


    Im sorry for upsetting you , Judy .


    But if you cant get the money from Ethan , then this is the next best solution .


    Im not sure what else to do , but after selling the house , we will be a little closer to helping your father .


    Thats all that matters to me right now .


    Tears filled my eyes before I could stop them ; I didnt want to cry here while I was in the Cash family manor .


    I didnt want to cry at all , but this couldnt be helped .


    I cant live here , Mom … I whispered .


    Oh , sweetie .


    If this is because of Ethan and Irene , they wont be living here .


    They will be living in the packhouse after Ethan bes our Alpha .


    You wont have to see them every day , she assured me .


    Besides , once he marks and mates with Irene , your mate bond will officially be broken , and you wont have to endure the pain of the severed bond any longer .


    Thats not what this is about , I told her , shaking my head .


    His family doesnt like me .


    They will make my life a living hell .


    I was only here for a few minutes and his sister already spilled wine on me .


    She sighed .


    Chapter 0130 Im sure it was an ident .


    Kelsey is very sweet ; shes only a child , my mother tried to justify .


    Shes 18 , Mom .


    Shes an adult , I reminded her .


    Thats hardly an adult , she murmured .


    Im sure she didnt mean anything by it .


    She told me that Ethan deserved better than me , I whispered .


    That I wasnt good enough for her brother .


    Shes only being protective , my mother said .


    She cleaned off the hand towel before putting it away .


    She turned to me and put her hands on my shoulders .


    Ifted my tear filled gaze to meet hers and I could see the worry she had in her eyes .


    She was scared for our future , and I wasnt making things any easier for her .


    I swallowed the lump in my throat and sniffled , wiping away the stray tears on my cheeks .


    Im sorry , I whispered .


    I dont mean to sound ungrateful .


    I know you are trying your best .


    She nodded and took a deep breath .


    I love you , Judy , she told me softly .


    Im sorry to spring this news on you so quickly .


    But if you dont think youll be able to live here , then maybe Nan will have an extra room for you ? Her words were like a punch in the gut ; so , it was either I live with the Cash family , or I had to find another ce to go.


    My mother made her choice and like everyone else in my life ….


    she wasnt choosing me .


    She was leaving , abandoning me ; just like Kelsey had said .


    Did she know about this ? Maybe that was why she brought up the fact that everyone in my life leaves me .


    I bit my lower lip , trying to will my tears to go away .


    I didnt want to cry any further , but I wasnt sure if I could hold them in either .


    How about we enjoy the rest of the barbeque , she said , lifting my chin so my eyes would meet hers .


    Oh , by the way , do you know Alpha Gavin Landry ? It seemed as if he knew you .


    I bit my lip and shook my head .


    I hated lying to her , but I couldnt tell her the truth .


    Not really , I told her .


    I work as a tutor in his pack , so I met him a few times .


    Nothing too serious though .


    I decided on the half truth .
