Donna sighed, tossing aside what she was going to say a moment ago and then she stood to her feet.
“I guess we should go eat then,” she said as she eyed us both carefully.
Gavin stood; his hand still entwined with mine. It was almost like he was afraid of letting me go and I found my heart skipping a beat at the feel of his closeness. He gave my hand a gentle squeeze before he pulled me alongside him and towards the dining hall.
Once we were seated in the dining hall, the food was served almost right away. My mouth was practically watering at the sight of all the delicious meats that were being placed on the table by various different maids.
“I hope you’re hungry,” Donna said, eyeing me carefully. “We have plenty of food.”
I could definitely see that; food was still coming out as we spoke. I was starving; I hadn’t had the time to eat today. I was planning on making something in the kitchen once I got to the villa, before my tutoring session with Matt, but then Gavin announced the dinner plans. Once I knew where we were having dinner, my stomach had been in a knot for the rest of the evening.
So to say I didn’t eat a thing today, was an understatement.
“Enjoy,” one of the maids said once they finished. She turned and scurried away with the others.
Gavin lifted his wine glass and took a long sip of the red elixir. I could tell he could use the drink. I was afraid to drink mine knowing that wine could make me foggy-headed and at least one of us needed to have a clear head if we wanted to get through this evening.
We added food to our plates before we started to eat. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection, or maybe I was just hungry.
“I’m not sure what the doctors had been telling you, but she looks really good.”
“We aren’t going to continue this conversation, Mother,” he said through his teeth.
She sighed and relented.
“Fine, we don’t need to talk about it anymore,” she finally said after a short pause. She then glanced in my direction as I was taking a bite of the lamb. “So, Judy. Tell me about your family. Are they well off?”
I didn’t miss the glare Gavin sent his mother, and it was kind of cute. I mean, Gavin was a big bad Alpha Lycan Chairman, and his mother still found a way to get under his skin.
“My father is the Delta of the Redmoon Pack,” I told her as I swallowed the food in my mouth.
She nodded.
“That’s a pretty small pack, if remember correctly. Is that the pack that has no Alpha?”
I flushed; it was bold of her to assume that it was him who rejected me and not the other way around.
“Why would he do something like that? Rejected a fated mate wasn’t something that commonly happened,” Donna pressed as she bit into her food.
“That’s enough,” Gavin said through his teeth. “You’ve asked enough questions.”
“I’m sorry, I’m only trying to get to know your little girlfriend,” Donna said; something about her tone screamed mockery.
Was this dinner a joke?
Was she trying to prove a point?
Donna turned to look at me again, her eyes narrowed, and I could see the devious side of her desperate to surface.
“So, tell me, Judy. Why were you not good enough for your own fated mate?”

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....
