Chapter 0193
“Yes,” I whispered hoarsely.
“Good luck and remember, take a deep breath and don’t jump to conclusions. Let him explain first before you go off. Update me on everything tomorrow
“I will,” I assured her and then I hung up the phone.
I put the phone on the nightstand and plugged it into the charger before turning to look at him. He still remained at the doorway, studying me with a frown.
“Irene said you were unwell,” he told me. “You were fine this morning!
I nodded and wiped my checks again, hoping he didn’t notice how blotchy my face was and the tears that were still in my eyes. I hated how weak I was in front of him, but I couldn’t help myself.
“Yeah, I was just a little under the weather,” I lied. “I think I might have eaten something bad.
“Was it whatever Chester made you?” He asked through his teeth. “I’ll fire him and-”
“No!” I said quickly. “Don’t fire him; he didn’t do anything. It was something I ate at school. Nothing more.”
He looked almost disappointed; I knew he kind of wanted to fire Chester because he rubbed Gavin the wrong way, but I wasn’t going to let him. I liked Chester; he was funny, and he made being here less lonely. Between him and Harper, I felt like I belonged around here.
At least I did until I spotted Skyla and Gavin together. That sick feeling returned to my belly and stared down at my lap, willing my tears away before they slipped down my cheeks.
“How was your date?” I murmured, unable to hide the bitterness in my tone.
“It wasn’t a date,” he said immediately. “It was a casual dinner. Chanse thought it would be good if I took her to dinner and-” his voice trailed off. “Wait, didn’t say anything about it in the text. How did you know?”
1 bit my lip as my cheeks burned with embarrassment had nothing to be embarrassed about though; I didn’t ask Irene to send me a photo of Gavin and Skyla leaving. She captioned it, “My father going on his first real date in years! Don’t they look beautiful together?
I felt sick to my stomach, and I have been crying ever since. I hated the effect it had on me, but I couldn’t help myself. They did look great together; Skyla in her shimmering red dress, pressed herself up against Gavin who was dressed in a nice suit. He was dressed in something more casual now and I wondered if Skyla helped him take off his suit.
“Irene sent me a picture,” I admitted. “She wanted me to see how lovely the two of you!
were together.”
I looked up at him and saw that his eyes were dark with rage. I shuddered at the sight of him and swallowed the lump in my throat.
“I’ll have a conversation with her about that,” he muttered. “But it wasn’t a date.”

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!...
