The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 166

Chapter 0166 At least not right now .

My mother could read my expression , and her gaze softened .

It wasnt fait of me to ask you to get Ethans help , and it wouldnt be fair of me to ask you to get Gavins .

help .

So , Im doing my part and trying to get help without making our family look pathetic , she explained .

This is something I have to do .

If all goes well , I should be able to get him out of prison in a few months and we can be a family again .

Tears slipped down my cheeks as I nodded , not sure what else to do or say .

She cupped my face with her warm hands and brought my face up to meet her gaze .

But I think you should go to that mansion and take him up on that offer , she continued .

I narrowed my eyes at her .

What ? I asked , shocked .

I cant just leave you here ..

Ill be fine , sweetie , she assured me .

But I know things arent okay for you here and I dont want to subject you to any more of this .

I know your injury wasnt an accident and Im so sorry to put you in this position .

I shook my head .

No , its okay , Mom .

It truly was an accident … You cant lie to me , Judy , she told me , releasing her hold on my face .

I only want whats best for my family and for right now , I think you living in the Landry mansion would be best .

Once your father is out of jail , we will get back on our feet .

We will get a new home and be a family once again .

But until then , I think this would be best .

I bit my lower lip as more tears slipped out of my eyes .

I love you , I whispered hoarsely .

She smiled and wrapped me in her arms .

I love you so much , she murmured .

You were the best decision we had ever made .

I love being your adopted mother and Im so sorry this is happening .

I sniffled and wiped my moist cheeks .

Its not your fault , I assured her , knowing just how true that was .

It was Ethans fault ; I didnt trust him or his family and now my mother was a victim to them .

There was nothing I could do about it , which was even worse .

After a moment , my mother opened the bathroom door and stepped into the hallway .

Gavin wasnt anywhere near the bathroom , and I was relieved by that because it meant he hadnt heard the conversation .
