Judy’s POV
After how I spoke to my father and how hurt my mother was when I left, the last place I wanted to be right now was home. Nan went to spend the evening with Chester, leaving Irene and me alone with the baby. I already made the decision to spend the night and then figure out the rest in the morning.
“She’s been a good sleeper,” Irene told me as she cradled the baby, rocking her back and forth. “I’m actually surprised by it. Aren’t newborn babies supposed to cry more?”
I smiled.
“You must be doing something right,” I told her.
The baby was adorable, I hated to admit that considering she was the offspring of Ethan Cash. But she was also so innocent, and she didn’t ask to have that monster as a father.
Irene smiled thoughtfully; her eyes fixed on the baby’s face.
“She doesn’t look like him,” Irene said softly. “Maybe some of her features look like him… but she looks more like Stella hand anything.”
“That’s a good thing,” I said with a light laugh.
I lean back on the couch as Irene continues to rock the baby until she’s completely asleep. After a few minutes she stands and takes a deep breath.
“I’ll be back,” she tells me. “I’m going to put her down in her crib.”
Gavin had some of the maids go out and buy a bunch of baby supplies; they pretty much created an entire nursery in the mansion. Which was crazy because this was only a temporary arrangement. There was no way Gavin was going to let Irene have his baby forever. He was going to find a family to adopt her, feeling Irene from the burden of this motherhood.
As Irene went to put Emalyn down to sleep, I wandered into the kitchen. It was quiet without the bustling of staff wandering around. I knew Chester was most likely in his room at this hour, with Nan wrapped around him.
I went to the wine pantry and poured a couple of glasses of wine. I certainly needed a drink this evening to get my mind off things. I was emotionally and mentally exhausted and I just needed to have a little girl time. I needed to talk to Irene about some stuff, but I wasn’t really sure how to bring it up.
It wasn’t my place to tell her that I was secretly having sex with her father. But she was also my friend, and I didn’t want to keep lying to her about this, especially because I needed someone else to talk to about it.
What I wasn’t expecting was for the question Irene would ask as she returned ot the living room.
“I’m sorry, what?” I asked her, my voice coming out almost hoarse.
She gave me a sheepish smile before she asked again.
“Are you in love with my father?” She asked again. “I know it’s not really any of my business… but I mean, he is my father, and I do have a right to know. He’d never tell me if he was having a relationship with somebody, so that’s why I’m asking you and not him. You’ve become one of my best friends, Judy, and I would like it if you were honest with me about your true feelings.”
My cheeks flushed at her words, and I found myself staring at the glass of wine, wishing I could shrink myself and drown in it.
“What makes you think I love him?” I asked my tone much lower than expected.
She shrugged one shoulder, leaning back in her seat.
“It’s the ay you look at him when he’s around,” she tells me. “The way you are always with him. Even the way your face lights up and your cheeks flush when he’s brought up in conversation,” she pointed to my face, and I knew that she could see my very emotions embedded on it.
There was no lying to her; I was a terribly liar… plus, I just didn’t want to. I was exhausted holding onto this secret for so long and it was time that I came clean.

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....
