“What is it?” Alex finally asked after a long while of silence.
“I need to call my father,” Irene said, still in a daze.
She grabbed her phone and swiped across the screen until she got to Gavin’s contact number. Then she pressed the call button, her breathing shaky. She’s hoping that her tone doesn’t sound as frantic as her mind.
She stared down at the small baby, still in the carrier and wrapped in a pink blanket. She was so tiny; it was clear that she was born early.
Irene’s heart tugged at the sight of her, knowing that she was Ethan’s baby, made it difficult, but this baby was innocent and adorable.
“This is not a good time, Irene,” Gavin’s voice cut through her inner monologue.
Irene winced at the harshness of his tone, and she knew she had to be quick or else he would hang up on her.
“Dad, it’s an emergency,” she went on to say in a single breath. “Ethan’s baby is here, and I don’t know what to do.”
Tears broke free from her eyes before she could stop them.
She could feel Alex stiffening as he listened to the phone conversation.
“What are you talking about?” Gavin’s voice was still harsh, but had lost some of its depth.
“I mean, there is a baby in the villa right now with a note from Ethan’s mistress saying that she couldn’t give the baby a good life and that she’s worried Ethan will find out about her. She knows I come from a good family and wants me to raise this baby… Dad, I’m so confused. I don’t know what I’m going to do. There’s a literal baby in the parlor right now.”
Her voice cracked at her last sentence, her entire body trembling as she suppressed the sobs that wanted to consume her.
There was a long stretch of silence at the other end as Gavin processed her words.
“On my way.”
The line went dead after that, and Irene couldn’t keep it in anymore; she sat on the couch as a sob escaped her lips.
“Is this really Ethan Cash’s baby?” Alex asked, watching Irene warily as she cried awkwardly in front of him.
She nodded, wiping her flushed and wet cheeks with the back of her hand.
Alex shifted in his spot, feeling the tension in the air.
“Yes,” Irene replied. “This is Emalyn…”
“Emalyn?” Gavin asked. “She has a name?”
“According to this letter, yes,” Irene said, holding up the letter for Gavin to take.
He took the letter and read it with a deep frown. Once he finished, he let out a deep sigh.
“So, it’s true…” he murmured. “She expects you to raise this baby?”
“It seems so,” Irene said, rocking the baby in her arms again.
“Whose baby is that?” Judy finally asked, her voice loud and confused as she stared from the baby to Irene, and then finally to Gavin.
After a beat of silence, he turned to her, his expression softened, and his voice gentle.
“It’s Ethan’s.”

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....
