Chapter 24

Adam nodded and picked up the tablet, handing it over to Ethan.

“I’ll return this later. Thank you for your help, Adam,” Ethan said kindly before leaving the kitchen.

“Thank you,” Adam replied, watching Ethan go.

“Thanks for the warning about Miss Judy,” Adam said. “I’ll keep a close eye on her. I’ll also look for someone more capable for the position.”

Ethan nodded, a smile spreading across his face.

Adam almost forgot about Miss Judy after that.

Ethan searched the entire house for Matt, but he couldn’t find him. A couple of hours had passed since their earlier conversation, and Ethan was starting to worry. Matt usually didn’t spend time in his bedroom at this hour, but it was the only place Ethan hadn’t checked yet.

He decided to go there next. Ethan and Irene were both feeling uneasy. They wondered where Matt could be and why he hadn’t come out. As they walked toward Matt’s room, they hoped to find him safe and sound.

The day had ended, and most people were gone. The house was quiet and felt mostly empty, except for the staff bustling around.

Adam knocked on Matt’s bedroom door and heard him huffing inside. Worried, Adam opened the door and found Matt lying on his bed, focused on his tablet.

“Master Matthew, how did you get that?” Adam asked as he walked into his bedroom.

“Get out! I’m busy!” Matt scowled, his eyes fixed on the tablet in his hands.

“Master Matthew, I insist,” Adam pressed, trying to get his attention.

“Hand that over right now,” she said firmly. “You know you aren’t allowed to have that right now. Your tutor will be here soon, and you need to be ready.”

“I said get out!!” Matt hissed as he grabbed a…

He picked up a picture frame with sharp corners and threw it as hard as he could across the room, aiming straight for Adam’s face.

Adam quickly dodged out of the way, and the frame smashed against the wall behind him, shattering into pieces. He turned around, surprised by what just happened.

Matt was focused on the game when Adam tried to get his attention.

“Matt,” Adam began to say, but before he could finish, Matt grabbed some nearby objects—pictures and other hard items—and started throwing them at Adam. He shouted for him to leave.

Adam was surprised by Matt’s sudden outburst. It was clear that Matt was very into the game and didn’t want any distractions.

Adam felt he had no choice but to leave. When Matt got angry like that, he became dangerous and would do anything to get what he wanted. The only person who could calm him down and restore some order was his sister, Sarah.

Gavin’s life was shaped by his strong Alpha presence. However, he had a meeting scheduled for that afternoon and was not available.

This could be the perfect opportunity to push Judy away from the job. If she couldn’t complete her mission because of Gavin’s absence, it might make her reconsider her role.

Judy arrived for her first day as Adam’s tutor. He wanted to let her know that the job might be harder than she expected.

“He’s somehow managed to get his tablet and is playing his favorite game,” Adam explained.

He was worried that this would show Judy that she wasn’t up to the challenge.

Adam explained, “He’s locked himself in his room and won’t come out. It’s probably better if you don’t even try to talk to him.”

Judy raised her eyebrows. “Is that really true?” she asked. “Is he…?”

Judy surprised him by walking right past him and heading up the stairs. She looked so confident and determined that he couldn’t help but be impressed. He quickly followed her, calling out that she wasn’t supposed to go upstairs because it was off-limits.

It was their personal floor, filled with bedrooms and private bathrooms.

Judy ignored him as she walked. When she reached the second floor, she paused. She looked around at each door. Then, when she spotted a door covered in stickers, she stopped.

She walked toward it.

“Miss Judy!” Adam tried to protest once more.

Judy knocked on the bedroom door and waited for a moment. When Matt didn’t answer, she did something Adam never expected.

She kicked the door open.

The sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the small town. Sarah walked slowly down the familiar path, her mind wandering. She thought about her plans for the weekend, hoping to catch up with her friends.

As she turned the corner, she spotted Jake sitting on a bench, lost in thought. Sarah hesitated for a moment but then decided to join him.

“Hey, Jake,” she greeted with a smile.

He looked up, surprised but pleased to see her. “Hey, Sarah! What’s up?”

They chatted about school, their favorite movies, and what they wanted to do over the weekend. Sarah felt a sense of comfort being with Jake; he always knew how to make her laugh.

Just then, a dog ran past them, chasing a ball. “Look at that!” Jake exclaimed, pointing.

Sarah laughed. “I wish I had that much energy!”

As they continued to talk, the sun dipped lower in the sky, and the stars began to twinkle above them. It was a perfect evening, full of friendship and laughter.

“Let’s meet here again tomorrow?” Jake suggested.

“Definitely!” Sarah replied, feeling excited about their plans.

With that, they said their goodbyes and went their separate ways, both smiling at the thought of their next meeting.
