Judy’s POV
The fact that his mom and Daisy showed up at the fair shouldn’t have surprised me. I should have known that they would have caught wind when I was on a date with Gavin and where we were. I should have known they would have followed us here.
The memory of my last encounter with them invaded my head and it wasn’t something I wanted to share with Gavin, but he found a way to convince me otherwise. He got the information out of me with ease. I felt a little better after talking it out with Gavin, but there was still a lingering doubt in the back of my head that his mother planted. I honestly didn’t like the fact that she didn’t like me… not that it mattered or anything. It’s not like Gavin and I were actually together… we had a sexual relationship and that was as far as it was going. However, after our incredible date tonight, there was a part of me that had a small sliver of hope that maybe this wasn’t just about sex. Maybe this was more… maybe he wanted more.
The question was, did I want more?
“What’s going through your mind?” Gavin asked as he took my hand and guided me away from the dancing crowd and the loud music playing in the center of the fair.
“Nothing,” I lied, nibbling on my lower lip with my head turned away from him. My eyes scanned the area until they landed on a cotton candy and popcorn vendor. “Want some cotton candy?” I asked him, desperate to change the subject.
He raised his brows as he looked down at me.
“Cotton Candy?” He asked. “Is that fluffy sugar?”
I raised my brows right back at him.
“Don’t tell me you’ve never had cotton candy,” I said, astonished, though I shouldn’t have been surprised by that either. There were a lot of things he had never done before tonight and cotton candy appeared to be one of them.
“Do I look like I’ve eaten cotton candy in my past?” He asked, smirking.
“No, you do not,” I admit, a smirk playing on my own lips. I pulled his hand towards the cotton candy stand. “Come on…”
We order a cotton candy to share as we walk towards the fireworks show. It was going to start soon, and the crowd was already gathering to find the best spots to see them.
I took a bit of cotton candy and brought it to Gavin’s lips.
“Try it,” I demanded. He furrowed his brows at the sugary treat before he parted his lips allowing me to put the candy on his tongue.
He looked surprised as he closed his mouth.
“It melted on my tongue,” he told me as he smacked his lips, making me chuckle as I ate some cotton candy too.
“Do you like it?” I asked him.
His mother’s eyes turned to slits, and she scowled again, her top lip curling up in disgust.
“So, she told you what was said,” she said coolly. “We didn’t say anything that wasn’t true. No need to overreact.”
“Overreact??” He said through his teeth.
I put my hand on his arm, trying to calm him.
“It’s okay,” I said softly. “I just want to watch the fireworks, that’s all.”
His eyes narrowed at me and his tone was low as he said, “My mother doesn’t get to speak to you like that.”
It was sweet of him to care, but it wasn’t really helping much as of right now. It seemed only to be making things even worse.
The fireworks started, stopping any further conversation, much to my relief. It was a beautiful display, and it took my breath away. At one point, Gavin boldly put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me into him, gaining the attention of his mother and Daisy. I knew he was only doing this to get back at them for being in our business.
By the time the show was over, I was utterly exhausted and about ready to return home and get some sleep. He took my hand and helped me stand up from the spot we had occupied during the fireworks show.

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....
