Chapter 0140
Gavin’s POV
The rage I felt when I saw Ethan’s family tormenting Judy was beyond what I had ever felt in my life. I was honestly surprised that I was able to control myself. Staying at this barbeque wasn’t something I wanted to do, but Judy pleaded with me to let it go for right now and I wasn’t going to leave without her. I watched her mingling with a few girls her age, and she looked rather uncomfortable. Her cheeks turned a bright shade of pink, I used my Lycan hearing to listen to their conversation, completely ignoring what Raymond Cash was saying on the other side of me.
“It must be really embarrassing for you to watch your fated mate with another she–wolf,” one of the girls said.
“I’m surprised you bothered showing up,” the other said.
I let out a small growl, which seemed to startle the table I was sitting at. It brought me back to the current moment and I saw eyes on me. I cleared my throat and forced a smile.
“I apologize,” I said as I stood to my feet. “If you’ll excuse me for a minute.”
I wasn’t sure what I was going to do, but I couldn’t sit there, and watch Judy be embarrassed over what these pointless she–wolves were saying to her. I walked towards them as they continued their conversation and without thinking, I draped an arm around Judy’s shoulders.
“Ladies,” I said to them, making their jaw drop. “If you don’t mind, I’m going to steal Miss Montague.”
“A… Alpha Gavin Landry?” One of them stammered, her eyes large as she stared up at me. “I… It’s an honor…”
I stared at her with indifference, without replying.
The other girl was looking between Judy and me, her eyes quizzical.
“I wasn’t aware you and Judy knew one another,” she pointed out, her brows raised.
Judy went to speak, but I cut her off.
“My relationship with Miss Montague isn’t your concern,” I told her. “If you’ll excuse us.”
I didn’t wait for Judy to argue, I pulled her along with me and went back towards the table I was seated at. She gawked at me, her cheeks flushed red.
“I could have handled that,” she said, staring at the ground as we walked.
“You shouldn’t have to,” I murmured.
We sat at the table, and I slid a plate of food in her direction. She began to nibble without speaking a
word.
“Is everything okay?” Raymond asked, looking at Judy and then back at me.
I nodded.
“As a Lycan, I’m required to notice everything that goes on around me,” I explained. “I could hear those
girls being disrespectful, so I went over to offer my assistance.”
“I apologize, Alpha. This is not the impression I wanted you to have for your first time in my home. I assure you, it’s not always like this.”
I nodded as I took a sip of my wine.
“If my daughter is going to be married into this family, I’ll need to establish some trust between us. If I can’t trust you with packmates, how can I trust you with my daughter?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.
“You can trust us,” he assured me. “I will prove that to you, Alpha.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law
So Spencer was “in love” before he even meet her? I used to wake up and read this book but now I let days go past before I read the chapters...
Well heres to the next 300 pages of this never ending story because now Gavin is going to have to save her before Spencer does something even more stupid because Judy is to weak to do anything for herself apparently....
3 chapters we didn't need. Already guessed Spencer was working with Levi and that the attacks were also Levi...
I think of all the things that bother me the most about the rushed writing is the inconsistencies. Judy and Nans room number was initially 606 when they checked in at the island resort for the Gamma Competition, but then was suddemly 906 - which turned out to be needed information later. When they first met, Judy went to Gavin's office the next day and told him about her father's imprisonment and her need for money, but then later the author made it sound like Gavin had no idea. She won 5 million for takimg first in the competition but then it was eluded to her not have much money and needed cash from the additional tutoring job with Lukas and the position in Levi's elite force. Honestly, the wishy-washy writing makes it feel like Gavin is less of a strong leader and more like he has so much personal drama he cant keep anything straight. It feels like Judy is weaker than the author has intended, as well. I feel like Rachel's return could have been tightened up with more details around her time Gavin instead of making Judy out to be a bit pathetic and desperate for just a sliver of Gavins attention. Her pregnancy was also disappointing because of the rushed plot, the author seemed to have forgotten that Judy gave her virginity to Gavin and no other sexual partners were introduced for her - so who the father of her baby was shouldn't have felt like such a surprise - it felt a bit insulting to her vibe and the character build throughout the hundreds of unnecessary chapters. I believe if the author spent a little more time and cleaned up some of the events with pertinent and necessary details and remove the oddities of over-the-top pieces (like the shower gel and cologne that appeared out of nowhere for Gavin in Judy's condo) this storyline could really be something great and intriguing for readers....

You can tell this book was written by a man trying to think like a woman. There are so many plot holes and loose ends. They’re clearly dragging it on way more than they should as a money grab. And now we’re in for probably 50 more chapters while they hunt her down. I’m sure someone will end up drugged and SA’d by the end of it. So frustrating that we’re reading in circles. I’m out....
Same! Short chapters going backwards now!...
Is he a spy though? or is this gonna be a Fatal attraction? He wants to mark her for himself, & she's going to have to try to escape.. but dies she have her wolf still, i forget...
Girl Im dropping this shit 🥰...
I cannot read this anymore; and these short chapters that doesn’t even give anything concrete. How ridiculous!...
