“I don’t follow that kind of thing,” Donna said, rolling her eyes.
“It was all over the news,” I countered.
Something about her brushing it off after putting me down didn’t’ sit right with me. I was starting to suspect that maybe she knew about the competition, and she was just looking to put me down for no reason.
“Again, I don’t follow that kind of thing. As soon as they started talking about it, I turned it off. I knew there was a winner, j just didn’t think it was you.”
“You owe her an apology for what you insinuated earlier,” Gavin said, his eye fixed on his plate. I knew if he looked at her in that moment, he would have lost his cool and he was trying hard to keep himself under control.
“Excuse me, I don’t apologize to anyone in my own home,” Donna said, raising her brows. “I stand by what I said.”
Gavin stood to his feet, having had enough of his mother’s attitude.
“Then, we will take our leave,” Gavin said, he gently grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet.
“Already?” She asked, shock registering on her face. “We didn’t even get to dessert yet.”
“I’m not going to sit here and allow you to give Judy nothing but your disrespect. You’ve been rude to her since the moment we got here. I won't tolerate it anymore. She’s been nothing but kind to you and doesn’t deserve that kind of treatment.”
Donna looked taken aback by her son’s words.
“Gavin…” she tried to protest as she too stood to her feet.
“No,” he said, his eyes flashing yellow again as his wolf surged forward. “You are so focused on getting me to marry Daisy, that you won’t even see anything else around you. I will never marry Daisy, Mom. Not ever. Get that through your head. We are leaving now.”
Donna was stunned and I could see it all over her face. I was stunned too if I were to be honest. Gavin didn’t really give me much of a choice, not that I would have chosen to stay. But it was odd that he was practically dragging me out of the manor by the arm.
Donna followed us through the foyer, the butler, Doug, standing at the entrance with a frown on his face.
“Is everything okay?” He asked, looking around at everyone’s faces.
“No,” she finally said after a long pause. “I don’t believe you are what’s right for Gavin.”
Gavin’s grip on my arm tightened; it wasn’t painful, but enough to show his aggravation and his desire to pull me out of the manor and get me as far away from here as possible. I wasn’t going to argue with him.
I nodded, without saying another word, and turned away from her.
“Thank you for dinner,” I murmur and with that, we were leaving the manor and going back to the car.
Gavin opened the passenger door for me, and I slid in, my mind was a whirlwind, and I felt almost numb. She was right; I wasn’t good enough for Gavin and I was fooling myself. If I wasn’t good enough for my own fated mate, what made me think I was good enough for Gavin Landry?
Gavin sat down in the driver’s seat and buckled his seatbelt; once I buckled mine, he started the engine and started to drive. My head was still lost in thought as I stared out the window. I couldn’t believe that interaction actually happened, and in front of Gavin above all. I was embarrassed and I kind of felt sick to my stomach.
The silence stretched on for what felt like an eternity, and then Gavin spoke… his words coming out so soft that I almost missed them.
“I’m sorry…”

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....
