The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 265

Chapter 0265 He had been faithful to Irene for weeks , but from the look on her face , he knew that she was suspecting something .

It had to have been Scarlett who showed up at his house unannounced .

No others would have done that ; no others knew where he lived .

It was only her .

Did she say something to you ? Ethan asked , his voice feeling heavy as he spoke .

She shook her head and tucked a long strand of blonde hair behind her ear .

No , but she looked upset .

Like shes been crying , she replied .

Ethan let out a breath , hoping that Irene didnt see the relief in his eyes .

As long as Scarlett hadnt said anything to her , then he could fix this .

Maybe it was the wrong house , I wasnt expecting anyone yesterday , he told her , his confidence coming back .

She stared at him for a moment , her eyes narrowed , and he lips pressed in a thin line .

Are you sure about that ? She asked .

Because she had a striking resemblance to Judy .

Ethan froze as he looked at Irene ; what had she figured out ? What are you saying ? Ethan asked defensively .

Im saying its not a coincidence … Judy has a very basic look , he murmured , shaking his head .

I can pick out about 5 girls that look just like her .

Shes not that special .

Why was she at your house , Ethan ? Please , tell me the truth , Irene said , stepping closer to him .

He saw tears filling her eyes and for a moment , he actually felt bad .

Maybe he would have told her the truth under different circumstances , but now he knew that he couldnt .

He had too much on the line and he needed to play his part a good little spy that he was .

like I dont know , he said , putting his hands on her shoulders , hoping to be soothing .

Im sorry I havent been around lately .

Ive been so busy with pack business .

I have barely been home these last few weeks .

If anyone were to stop by my house , then I wouldnt have known .

You know my family is pretty much running the pack until a new Alpha is appointed .

We are the Beta family .

She could have been trying to ask for a favor .

Other than that , I dont know why she would come over .

I didnt ask anyone to stop by .noveldrama

Irene stared at him for a long while like she was trying to figure out if he was telling the truth or not .

She nibbled on her lower lip .

I just have this nasty feeling … shou Ethan pressed his lips to her forehead .
