Soon, a woman walked in with a platter of tea and a different assortment of sweeteners, along with a small cup of milk.
“Is there anything I can get for you, Alpha?” The woman asked, setting the platter down on the table in front of us.
“No, just my mother,” Gavin replied.
“She’ll be down in a moment. You know how your mother is,” the woman said with a faint laugh.
Gavin nodded, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips, though he managed to suppress it.
“Matilda, this is Judy. Judy, this is my mother’s head maid. She’s been a part of this family for a long time,” Gavin said.
I smiled politely at the woman, Matilda, who smiled in return and bowed her head to me. Her eyes shifted to the hand Gavin was holding, and her face brightened.
“It’s wonderful to meet you, Miss… uh… sorry, I didn’t catch your last name,” she said, a bit awkwardly.
“It’s Montague,” I told her. “But please, just call me Judy.”
Her smile softened.
“Miss Judy,” she replied. Matilda turned to Gavin and gave him a knowing look. “She’s quite beautiful.”
Before I could feel my cheeks heating and feeling embarrassed about the compliment, Gavin finally allowed himself to smile.
“Yes, she is,” he replied simply, making my heart skip a beat.
I looked up at him, my eyes wide, and he gave me a subtle wink. I wasn’t sure why it surprised me, but it did. The fact that he can be so openly fond of me is shocking and comforting all at the same time.
“I’ll go see what’s keeping your mother,” she said. “If you need anything, just call me on the pack link.”
Gavin nodded and watched her retreating form.
