“Well, hello there, Judy,” she said, her pleasantries easing my mind slightly.
“Good morning, Mrs. Connolly,” I replied, stopping in front of her desk. “I heard Dean Griffin wanted to speak with me.”
She nodded and turned back to her computer; she typed something on the screen and then turned towards the little speaker box on her desk.
“Dean Griffin, Judy is here to speak with you,” she said into the little mic.
The speaker crackled as Dean Griffin’s voice came through.
“Send her in.”
There was no emotion in her voice, and it made my stomach tighten into an even bigger knot.
Mrs. Connolly gave me a nod and motioned for the office door. I took a deep breath and opened the door, stepping inside. The office hadn’t changed much from when I was here last; there were the same modern decorations, with updated pictures of the new Dean’s family. She was a mother to what looked like a 3-year-old little girl and maybe an 8-year-old little boy. She was the wife of a Beta, which made her a female Beta. I knew little about her other than the fact that she was from the Whytecliff pack, a neighboring pack of the Redmoon, which was run by Alpha Edmond.
Dean Griffin, first name Lila, was blonde with long hair that draped over her shoulders and glasses that covered most of her young-looking face. She had a petite frame, and from the small amount of times I’ve seen her, I had never seen her smile.
I heard from others around the school that she never smiles.
“Take a seat, Judy,” she motions for one of the seats in front of her desk.
She didn’t bother looking at me; too focused on whatever was on her computer screen.
Tentatively, I took a seat, tugging my fingers nervously as I waited for her to speak. It took an eternity for her to say anything. Eventually, she looked up at her, her pale blue eyes narrowing.
“I’ve heard a lot about you from your professors,” she informed me. “I’ve gone through all your records, and I must say, I’m quite impressed with your performance.”
My heart stopped in my chest; was she complimenting me?
“Thank you, Dean Griffin,” I said, grateful for her words.
“It seems you’ve been on the dean's list more times than any student who’s been at this school,” she continued. “Not to mention your performance at the Gamma Competition deserves some recognition.”
My heart started up again, pounding heavily in my chest.
“So, with that, I wanted to personally congratulate you… You are graduating top of your class. If you ace your finals, which telling from your records, I have full faith that you will, you are expected to write and give a speech during graduation, and you’ll get a golden star on your degree, which indicates that you graduated top of your class.”
I couldn’t help the smile that lit up my face at her words.
“Hello?”
A woman’s voice came on the other end.
My heart stopped as I pulled the phone away and looked at the name on my screen… it was definitely Gavin’s number.
Did he change his number and not tell me?
Why would he do that?
“Sorry, I might have the wrong number,” I said softly.
“Who are you looking for?” The woman asked, a curious tint in her voice.
“Gavin Landry,” I said, my voice coming out hesitantly as I spoke his name.
She was quiet for a moment, and then her next words shattered not only my heart, but my entire soul.
“This is the right number, though I’m afraid he’s currently in the shower,” she told me. “I can leave a message for him. We do have plans together later, but I’m sure he’ll call you before we leave if it’s that important.”

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....
