Chapter 0068
Judy’s POV
I could not believe I actually agreed to this. I stared at myself in the mirror with a frown. I was wearing a female business suit that seemed to have aged me a few years. Matt was right when he said that I could pull off being his mother. For a moment, I had doubts that I could be too young, and the teachers would never fall for it. But those doubts slipped away when I grabbed one of my mother’s business attires and slipped it on.
I glanced at the clock and sighed; I only had a few minutes before my Uber arrived and took me to Matt’s school. I wasn’t even sure what it was he did that got him in trouble. I should have asked so I could better prepare my response. It had to be the response of a parent though; I had to be angry with him and give him a stern talking to.
I ran my fingers through my hair, wondering if maybe I should put my hair in a low ponytail instead of leaving it down. I swallowed the lump in my throat and shook my head; no… if I can’t pull off being his mother, then my next bet is to seduce the teacher. Or so Nan would tell me if I were to tell her what I was up to today.
The honking outside indicated that my Uber was there I took a deep breath before giving myself one more look in the mirror. Satisfied with my attire, I grabbed my purse off my bed, shouldered it, and quickly left the room.
I was surprised that my mother was in the living room when I got downstairs; and even more surprised when I saw that she was sipping on a cup of coffee. When she saw me, she gave me a small smile and motioned for the kitchen with her head.
“I brewed some coffee if you’d like some,” she offered
“You brewed the coffee yourself?” I asked.
She raised her brows at me.
“I’m capable of brewing coffee, Judy,” she told me, her tone flat.
1 blinked a few times.
“I didn’t mean it like that, Mom. I just meant you haven’t really been up to doing anything lately is all,” I told her. “I’m glad you’re out of bed.”
“I figured it’s time that I start making some changes in my life and I can’t do that if I’m stuck in my room all day, can I?” She asked, taking another sip of her coffee.
I smiled and walked around the couch to hug her. As I wrapped my arms around her, her body seemed to have stiffened. But it only lasted a moment because soon she was relaxing and resting her head on my shoulder.
Then she lifted her head to look at me with a frown.
“Are you wearing my clothes?” She asked.
I swallowed and gave her an awkward laugh.

Chapter 0068
“I have an interview,” I lied. “I needed something professional to wear.”
“Would this job be good paying?” She asked.
When I walked into the school, the halls were quiet. I assumed most students were in class. It didn’t take me long to reach the main office because it was near the school’s front entrance. The receptionist, a young blonde woman, was typing away on her computer, barely paying attention to anything going on around her. She barely spared me a look as I stepped in front of her desk.
I had to clear my throat a couple of times for her to acknowledge me finally. She sighed and lifted her gaze to meet mine.
“Can I help you?” She asked, raising her perfectly trimmed brows.
“Yes, I’m here to speak with the principal,” I said, taking in the blonde in front of me.
“And who might you be?”
“Judy Landry,” I lied. “I’m Matt’s mom.”
She narrowed her eyes at me, taking me in from my toes to my head before she let out a bark of laughter. She had to sit back in her seat and hold her stomach while she continued to laugh; my checks burned hot. She could see right through me because if I was Mrs. Landry, that meant I was married to Gavin Landry, and everybody knew that Gavin was an eligible bachelor and a playboy. I should have thought that through before speaking, but now that the lie was out there, I couldn’t exactly take it back.
