Chapter 0222 Matt looked up at me and a grin spread across his face .


    I wanted to get this done quickly so we can spar outside ! He told me.


    I kind of wish we were still at the mansion though .


    I liked it over there .


    Your father thinks its better if we worked here because of the paparazzi .


    Until he takes care of it , its better if you didnt go over there , I told him .


    I just hoped that they would be cleared by the time it was time for me to go home .


    Thest thing I wanted was the stay here … not with Irene under the same roof .


    I knew she didnt like or trust me right now and I didnt want things to continue being awkward between us .


    I think spending the night with her father would make things even more awkward .


    He nodded thoughtfully and then he grinned again .


    So , are you going to be my mom ? I nearly choked on my spit as I sat down beside him .


    Im sorry , what ? I asked him , snapping my eyes in his direction .


    He shrugged as if he didnt just ask me that question so casually .


    I saw the news reports .


    I dont live under a rock , he told me , eyeing me suspiciously and making my cheeks burn even more .


    Im not upset if you are going to be my mom .


    I would really like it if you were .


    Oh , Matt … I said , my heart squeezed in my chest .


    Thest thing I wanted was to disappoint and hurt him , but I certainly didnt think I was going to marry Gavin .


    Maybe we should talk about thister ? His face fell a little , but he nodded .


    He wasnt stupid , he knew I was avoiding the subject .


    But he was polite enough to not say anything .


    We continued with his homework and then we spent time sparring in the backyard .


    Now that the film crew was done , it was nice having the space to ourselves again .


    I hadnt noticed someone else had joined us in the training grounds until Matts eyes wandered and then grewrge .


    Oh , hello Miss Sinire , Matt said .


    I turned and my jaw nearly dropped when I saw Sk approaching us .


    She gave Matt a small nod and then her eyes shifted into my direction .


    My cheeks bumed under her scrutiny .


    H … hello , I said to her , hating that I stuttered .


    Can we talk for a minute ? She asked me .


    My eyes grewrge ; what could she possibly want to speak to me about ? I nced down at Matt , and he seemed to get the hint because he nodded and quickly went to finish practicing with the bow and arrow .


    I turned to Sk , forcing a smile in her direction .


    Whats this about ? I asked her .


    I think you know what this is about , she told me , raising her perfectly trimmed brows .


    Its about you and Gavins rtionship .


    Chapter 0222  My cheeks burned even more .


    I wanted to tell her that we didnt exactly have a rtionship ; at least not like that .


    But the words wouldnt leave my lips .


    My wolf wouldnt allow me to say those words to her because she didnt want them to be true .


    I wasnt sure what that meant exactly , but I found myself mping my lips shut and listening to more of what she had to say .


    If I had known he was alreadymitted to someone , I would have never pursued him , Sk continued to tell me .


    I just wanted you to know that Im not a homewrecker and I cant have the paparazzi thinking that I am .


    I was surprised by her words .


    I dont think anyone is calling you a homewrecker , assured her .


    I kissed him on camera , she said , her cheeks reddening slightly .


    At some point, they will start talking about it .


    They are so focused on his new rtionship that they havent put any of the pieces together yet .


    I know Gavin is working on getting the stories pulled , but I worry about my reputation .


    Well , if ites down to it , I will tell them that our rtionship is new and that he was single when he met you .


    The words left my lips before I could stop them , and I immediately regretted them .


    Was I really nning on telling the paparazzi that I was in a rtionship with Gavin Landry ? As if things werent hard enough as they are .


    Sk also looked surprised ; she thought about it for a moment before she nodded .


    Just dont make it seem like he left me for you , she told me , winking as if she were telling a funny joke .


    But I knew she was serious .


    Look , Im really sorry for any misunderstandings I may have caused .


    I was under the impression that his fling with you wasn t serious .


    I wouldnt have pursued him if I knew .


    Its okay , I reassured her .


    Its not your fault .


    We were keeping things secret .


    Thats not on you .


    Her face softened and she nodded .


    ? Well , thats all I wanted to say , she told me and turned to leave but then she paused for a moment .


    Oh , and Judy ? Yes ? Hold onto him tightly , she told me .


    Hes a good man … and he deserves someone who will stick by his side no matter what .
