Chapter 256
**Chapter 0256**
**Judy’s POV**
I was shocked by her words. Slowly, I turned to look at her. She was avoiding my gaze, staring off into the distance. Her hands fidgeted with the ends of her blouse, and I could hear her breathing becoming uneven.
I noticed something was off. “What?” I asked her, narrowing my eyes in concern.
“I think he’s cheating on me,” she said again, her voice shaky and breathy. I could see that she was on the verge of a panic attack. “I just know it.”
I went to his house because I hadn’t seen him in days. When I arrived, I noticed a woman standing outside. She looked like she was about to knock on the door, but when she saw me, she quickly left.
“A woman?” I asked.
“Do you know who it was?” I asked, my chest tightening.
Irene shook her head. “No, I’ve never seen her before.”
“What did she look like?” I pressed.
Irene paused, thinking for a moment.
A cloud of confusion crossed her face as the realization hit her. She narrowed her eyes at me, giving me that bitter look I had become used to over the past few weeks. It was as if she had just remembered something important about herself.
As she spoke, her guard was back up.
The look on her face was so intense and fierce that I instinctively took a step back.
“She looked like you,” she said bitterly. “I need to leave.”
Without saying anything else, she turned away.
She walked back up the stairs. I frowned as I watched her go.
That was strange, I thought to myself.
I tried to push the thought away and focused on the rest of my day with Matt. I spent the afternoon tutoring him and then…
I had been giving him more lessons in combat and defense. I thought Gavin would at least show up today, but he never returned to the Villa. By the time I left for the evening, the sun had set, and I was feeling exhausted.
Leroy was the one who brought me home. When I asked him if he had heard from Gavin, he gave me a vague answer. He mentioned that the Alpha had been busy and told me not to worry too much about him.
“Busy with what?” I asked him.
He didn’t answer, which made me even more suspicious. Could it be that there was someone else in his life? Was he seeing another woman and now spending all his time with her?
Skyla kept coming to mind. I wondered if he had decided to be with her after all. Just thinking about it made me feel sick to my stomach.
Part of me wanted to go to his office and see what was really going on. I needed to know where he had been and what was happening.
felt distant. Part of me was hopeful that he would reach out when he was ready, but another part was afraid of being rejected.
I decided to let it go for now. I hoped he would come to me when he felt prepared.
But he didn’t reach out.
A week went by, and he still felt far away.
I realized that I hadn’t talked to Gavin yet about my plans. I was leaving tomorrow morning, and he still had no clue. At least, I didn’t think he did. Adam mentioned he would tell Gavin, but I hadn’t heard anything from him.
I felt a little anxious. Would Gavin be upset that I hadn’t told him? I just hoped he wouldn’t take it too hard when he found out.
I spent the whole day packing and talking on the phone with Nan, who was also busy packing. She hadn’t spoken to Chester since that awkward car ride home, and Chester hadn’t brought it up either. He’s been quieter than usual.
Irene hadn’t been around much lately. She was usually busy with work, and it seemed like she was trying to keep her head down.
I hadn’t talked to her since last week. It was clear she was avoiding me, and I couldn’t help but wonder if she was embarrassed about something that had happened between us.
Matt had confessed something important to me. When I told him that today would be our last training session for the next few weeks, he felt upset. But he was also excited that I had been nominated to participate in the Gamma competition. He promised that he would come to watch me compete.
