Seducing My Ex's Father In Law by Caroline Above Story

Judy's POV

"What?" Gavin asked, his eyes dark and brewing as he stared down at Matt. "What are you talking about?"

"She told me it was she who put the peanut butter in my sandwich..." Matt murmured. "She tried to kill me and everybody knew about it... right?"

My heart shattered at his accusatory words. Of course, I had suspicions that it was Irene, but it wasn't something I would ever share with Matt. It wasn't my place to tell him anything. He was only a little boy, and I knew that kind of information would be devasting for him. I didn't want to break his heart. As far as he knew, it was a maid who tried to hurt him... nothing more. But now he knew the truth; Irene couldn't live with the fact that she nearly killed Matt.

"Irene told you this?" Gavin asked, his tone hardening.

Matt nodded, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Why would she try to do that, and why would you keep it from me?" Matt asked him before he turned his attention to me. "Did you know too?"

When I failed to respond right away, I saw the flash of hurt in his eyes. My silence was speaking volumes. Matt now knew the truth, and it was so triggering to him that it pushed him over the edge and caused his first shift. I hated that he was so hurt... I hated that this was happening.

"I'm so sorry, Matt," I told him, tears filling my own eyes. "I didn't want you to find out because I didn't want you to get hurt. I didn't want you to see your sister differently."
