Judy’s POV
The thought of Gavin with another woman physically hurt. The thought that he was so in love with her that he was planning on proposing, nearly destroyed me. My wolf’s reaction came out of nowhere; I had to restrain her as she pushed forward, wanting to go for a run to release some of this pent-up tension. The reaction was confusing for her as well and she didn’t know how to respond to the fact that Gavin was once in love with someone else.
My stomach ached at the very thought, and I had to take steady deep breaths to calm myself and my wolf.
Irene studied me for a long while, trying to figure out how I was feeling and gauging my reaction.
“That was a long time ago though,” she told me, trying to sound reassuring. “He’s different ow. He’s almost back to being that happy self again. Even Matt’s noticed it and we know it’s because of you, Judy.”
I looked at her, frowning. I wasn’t sure what to say to that; my mind was still wrapping around the thought of Gavin with another woman, loving her… proposing to her… losing her.
He must have been so heartbroken.
I wonder if he would talk to me about her if I asked… then again, was it my place o ask him anything?
Irene reached over and took a hold of my hand.
“I wasn’t telling you this so you can doubt yourself, I’m telling you this, so you know that if he doesn’t’ warm up to you right away, it’s not your fault. It’s not that he doesn’t care… or won’t ever fall in love again, it’s just that he’s afraid to fall in love. Everyone he fell in love with eventually dies. He probably thinks he’s cursed or something.”
I swallowed the lump in my throat as I met her eyes.
“Is he cursed?” I asked.
She let out a laugh and shook her head.
“No, of course not,” she assured me. “My father is just very typical. But I can tell he cares about you, even if you can’t tell.”
“You think so?” I asked, hating the vulnerability in my tone, but I needed to know. Was there a chance for Gavin and me? And would she be okay with it if there was.
“Yes,” she replies. “I think there’s real potential between you two. You could be the woman that knocks him off his feet and makes him fall in love all over again.”
This time, it was my turn to let out a laugh.
“He doesn’t hate you, Irene,” I assured her. “He’ll be okay. Once his wolf calms down, he’ll come back to you, and you’ll resume your brother and sister relationship as usual. It won’t last forever.”
“I hope not,” she whispered. “What I did was awful… I could have killed him, and I was the reason one of the maids was banished and most likely killed by a rogue. I’m not a good person.”
“Just because you did a bad thing, doesn’t mean you are a bad person,” I told her. “We all make mistakes.”
“Mine cost lives… and it almost cost the most important life in my life… my brother.”
I loved that, despite Matt not being her biological brother, Irene still thought of him as a brother.
“But he’s alive and that’s all that matters. That’s all we should be focusing on.”
She was quiet for another moment as she processed my words before she nodded slowly.

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....
