Gavin wanted to take me out tonight. He texted me to tell me to be ready by a certain time and I was more than eager to go out with him. After I left the kitchen this morning, I went straight to my room to take a long bath. I needed to clear my head and wash away all the negative thoughts that had collected in my mind.
I tried calling Nan a few times this morning, but now her phone was turned off and it was going straight to voicemail. I even sent her a couple of text messages, but they remained unopened. My heart squeezed painfully in my chest, I hated that she was going through this. I hated that Chester was putting her through this.
I knew I would see her at school tomorrow, but I needed to know now that she was okay. As I stepped out of the tub and grabbed a towel, I wrapped it around my body. I pulled the plug to the drain so the water would go down and then I turned to look in the mirror. It looked as if I hadn’t slept in days. I sighed, it was going to take a lot to make me presentable for my date with Gavin tonight.
There was a knock on my bedroom door, and I quickly spun on my heel and hurried out of the bathroom. There was a part of me that hoped it was Nan, even though I knew it wasn’t likely. I pulled the door open, and I stood surprised to see Harper standing at the doorway. Her eyes were red–rimmed, and her nose was pink; it was clear she had been crying and my heart tugged at her as well.
I didn’t know Harper all that well; since my time here, she had been a good maid and started to slowly become my friend. However, I found Chester to be more my friend than Harper. But that didn’t mean I wanted her to be hurting as well.
“Hey, Harper…” I said, uncertainty filling my tone. “Are you okay?”
She wiped at her damp eyes and forced an obviously fake smile.
“Yeah, sorry,” she said softly. “I was just seeing if you needed anything. Sorry, I haven’t been super tentative lately.”
I shook my head, waiving off her concern.
“You don’t need to worry about it, Harper,” I assured her. “It’s honestly okay. But I’m worried about you. Yesterday was really rough…”
“I’m okay…” she said quickly. “I think I could just use a distraction.”
I thought about it for a moment, and then I smiled.
“Well, I have an idea,” I told her, grabbing her arm and pulling her into my room, shutting the door behind us. She looked startled and stumbled over her feet for a second, it made me laugh. “I have a date tonight.”
She winced at my words, and I realized she probably didn’t want to think about dating or anything like that.
“Well, it’s kind of a date, Gavin and I aren’t exactly dating it’s complicated,” I told her.
Harper’s expression softened and she nodded.
“I can understand complicated,” she told me.
“I figured you could,” I told her. “But I haven’t seen him in a few days, and he wants to spend the night with me. I want to make myself look hot for him but I’m kind of torn look like I haven’t slept in years.”
She studied me for a moment and then a smile tipped the corner of her lips.
“I wasn’t going to say anything, but yeah. You kind of look ke crap,” she teased.

The readers' comments on the novel: Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law
Anyone have suggestions for other books like this that are captivating for me to read while I wait for more chapters etc?...
Despite everyone's frustrations with this book, I think it's quite entertaining. I think Gavin and Judy have a long road ahead of them. If/when they're able to finally get on the same page, they still have to deal with his mom. Not to mention Judy has to reconcile with Matthew after abandoning him when she promised she wouldn't; and face Irene with the news that she's carrying a new sibling. Lol, Levi is the least of their concerns. Then there's having the baby. Pretty sure Gavin has untreated trauma associated with Irene's birth. My thoughts are, just be patient, find other books to read in between and enjoy the ride. I think it'll be good....
Anyone Know where we Can Read all of this book 2 chapters a day is a joke And waiting is killing me I’ll just want to end this book !!...
I never really read these books, but came across this one and annoyingly got hooked. Do these books just go on forever with no resolution? As if so, I’m going to call it a day and write my own ending lol...
Lovely… I just found this book Friday and I’ve finished all that here. How often do they release more and how much at a time?! I’m invested....
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....
