Chapter 0132 Judys POV You agreed to do what ?? Gavin asked , folding his arms across his chest as he glared at me .

I sat on his bed , with my head down .

Why would you agree to go to that barbeque ? Because Irene asked , I told him .

Shes my friend , Gavin .

She needed me to be there … so Ill be there .

He sighed , running his fingers through his hair .

Let me go with you , he said after a moment of pause I stood to my feet and closed the gap between us , wrapping my arms around his neck I like that he wanted to go and protect me , but it wasnt a plausible solution .

It would only make a scene and reveal our special relationship .

And how would we explain that ? I asked him .

We would have to come up with an excuse as to why you are there defending me , Gavin .

I dont think its a good idea .

He sighed and wrapped his arms around my waist , pulling me close to him .

I was invited , you know .

Im invited every year , but I never attend , he murmured .

This surprised me .

I peeked up at him .

Ifv f you feel like you must attend , then attend .

But I want to prove to myself that I can handle this on my own without you intervening .

Plus , I doubt Irene wants your presence there .

This is supposed to be her moment .

You being there takes the attention away from her , I told him .

He nodded and pressed his forehead against mine .

Youre right .

I dont like it .

But youre right .

But if he gives you any issues- Ill call you , I assured him .

I stood on my toes and kissed his lips .

Mr.

Protective .

.

He rolled his eyes , but I could see a hint of a smile on his lips .

Thats me , he murmured .

Always the protector .

He deepened the kiss and then pulled me into his bed where we made love for most of the night before falling asleep .

Where have you been ? My mother asked as I walked down the steps of the house .

It was late morning , and I had gotten home a few hours ago from Gavins villa .

I managed to get a few more hours of sleep before waking up for the day .

I wanted to get here and act as if I had been here all night before my mother woke up , but apparently , she had noticed my absence .

I just woke up , I told her , rubbing the sleep out of my eyes .

You hadnt been home all night , she told me , folding her arms across her chest .

Dont think I didnt hear you coming home early this morning .

Youve been like this for weeks , Judy .

You stay out all night and return in the morning .

Π 12 Chapter 0132 My cheeks flushed at her words .

So , she had noticed .

I bit my lower lip and glanced at the ground .

She studied me for a moment before her eyes grew wide .

Are you seeing someone ? She asked .

What ? No , of course not .

Is it Ethan ? She suddenly asked , making my blood go cold .

I could see the hopefulness in her eyes .

Did you two reconcile ? No , Mom , I told her , bursting her bubble .

Ethans engaged to someone else … remember ? She sighed and rubbed her temples as if she were gaining a headache .

Well , I hoped seeming hes your fated mate and all that you both came to your senses .

But I guess thats not the case .

Anyway , we are going to the Cash family barbeque tonight , so just make sure you are on your best behavior .

I frowned at her and folded my arms across my chest .

Im not the one you should be worrying about , I told her .

She rolled her eyes .
