Judy’s POV
My blood went cold at the sound of her question. I stared at her and she stared back at me with a glint of humor in her eyes. I wanted to vomit at that moment; all the food I had just eaten resurfaced.
I could feel Gavin’s agitation towards his mother, but he remained quiet, just glaring at her like he was trying to kill her with just his eyes.
“I’m sorry, was that too forward of me?” Donna asked. “You see, Judy. I have some concerns, that’s all. I’m a mother above anything else and I care about the figure of my son and his children… current and future.”
I swallowed the limp in my throat at her insinuating words; I remained silent though, not sure what to say. I waited for her to continue. She studied my face for a long while before she continued.
“I only want the best for Gavin, as you know,” she continued. “If you aren’t good enough for your own fated mate, what makes you good enough for my Gavin?”
My heart fell deep into my stomach; she was right. I wasn’t good enough for Gavin. I wasn’t even good enough for Ethan, someone who was supposed to love me above anything and anyone else. My fated mate. I was kidding myself if I thought for a second that I was good enough for Gavin Landry, the most powerful Lycan Chairmen in the world.
I looked at Gavin and saw how tense he was; his eyes remained fixed on his mother and his jaw was tensing with each passing second. Donna leaned back in her seat, placing her fork gently on her plate as she took me in.
“I hope you don’t take any offense to that, Judy. I want to like you… I really do. But what kind of future could a rejected mate give my powerful son?”
Soon, Gavin’s chair was scraping across the marble floor as he stood up quickly. I was shocked by the sudden sound, and I looked up at him with wide eyes, wondering what he was about to do or say.
“Mother, you’ve said quite enough. I came here with her thinking you wanted to actually get to know her, but instead, you’ve disappointed me by acting in the same way you did previously. Your questions and your insinuations are not welcome, and they are not necessary.”
Donna’s frown deepened as she stared up at her son.
“Gavin I am your mother. Don’t speak to me like I am a child,” she said, her brows furrowed.
“Then stop acting like one,” Gavin shot back. “I won’t hesitate to walk out that door if you don’t start behaving.”
Donna pressed her lips together.
“No need to lose your temper,” she said after a beat of silence. “Just sit down and eat your dinner. Seriously, Gavin.”
“I’m actually top in my class, and I’ve been trained by some of the most skilled masters,” I told her. “I attend the Whitmore Shifter Academy, which is the most prestigious school in the world. I might look small, but I can fight, and I know my way around most weapons.”
She raised her perfectly trimmed brows at me as she continued to assess me.
“I see,” she said, leaning back in her seat. “I personally would feel safer if you left the Gamma work to trained professional men. Those who are tall and strong and not small and scrawny… and packed in a female body.”
I was so taken aback by her rudeness that I had to fight the urge to jump across the table and attack her. I had to physically hold my wolf back; she was taking Donna’s words as a challenge, and she hated being challenged.
“Judy won the Gamma competition, Mom. She’s the real deal,” Gavin said, his eyes narrowed as he stared at his mother. “She’s about to become part of the Elite force once she graduates from college.”
Donna's eyes grew wide.
“The Elite Force?” she asked. “That’s quite an accomplishment.”
“I’m surprised you didn’t hear about my victory,” I told her, eyeing her carefully. She waved off my words as if they were no big deal.

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....
