“Change of plans… take me to the place,” I told him.
He furrowed his brows in response.
“Why?” He asked.
“Irene needs my help with the baby, that’s why,” I told him simply. “If Gavin doesn’t want to see me, then that’s fine, but I’m not cutting myself off from Irene.”
He nodded and, without another word, he turned in a different direction and started to drive towards the Silver Crescent pack.
Once we were at the mansion, I thanked him and hurried out of the car. I didn’t bother looking back at Beta Taylor, though I could feel his eyes on the back of my head.
Irene was in the living room, cradling a crying Emalyn. The baby's face was all red as she belted and sobbed, and it broke my heart to see her like this. Irene was also crying as she cooed at the little baby, trying to calm her.
Irene looked at me with relief in her eyes.
“I don’t know what to do,” she cried, her bottom lip trembling. “Please, help me…”
I immediately went to her, taking a look at Emalyn’s face. I put my hands on her cheeks and forehead, my stomach clenching when I felt how warm she was.
“She’s running a fever,” I told her. “Do you have any baby medicine?” I asked.
“Maybe in the kitchen,” she said, her voice cracking as she spoke.
I grabbed the baby from her arms, cradling her close to my chest. She relaxed a little, but not all the way.
“I need you to listen carefully, okay?” I said, trying to remain as calm as I could. She nodded, waiting for my instructions. “I need you to warm up some milk in a baby bottle and put a few drops of medicine in the milk. Not a lot… just a little. Then bring me the bottle.”
Irene nodded and, without another word, she ran off and into the kitchen. I continued to rock and cradle the baby; her crying subsided a little, but she was still whimpering as the fever took full effect.
“Poor little pup,” I whispered soothingly.
Not long after, Irene was returning with the baby bottle. I took the bottle from her and started to feed the baby. it took a few tries, but soon Emalyn started to drink greedily.
Irene sighed, resting on the couch now that the mansion was quiet and free from the crying. As the baby drank, her sniffles and sobs subsided. She stopped halfway through the bottle, and then I took a break to burp her before having her continue.
Once she was done with the bottle, I placed it on the coffee table and rocked her. The room had fallen silent as the baby nuzzled against me, trying to gain warmth, though she was sweating from her fever. It tore at my heart to see her like this.
I had to change her a couple of times within the hour because her diaper exploded. The second time it happened had Irene helped me bathe her. The warm water was soothing enough that it calmed her into a sleeping state.
Rocking her in my arms, I sat with her on the couch until she was completely asleep. She wasn’t as warm, but I could tell she still had a slight fever.
Irene looked relieved to see that she was finally sleeping.
She raised her brows.
“I haven’t spoken to my father in days,” she admitted. “He’s been busy with work as far as I know. I’m not sure who answered his phone, but I doubt he would have allowed that if he knew,” she told me.
I thought about it for a moment, and then I nodded.
“Yeah, maybe it’s just a misunderstanding,” I said softly.
She was quiet for a long while, and then she straightened her posture.
“You know what you need to do?” She asked, “You need to go to the Villa and see him for yourself.”
“What?” I nearly asked, my eyes wide.
“I’m serious,” she said, a grin forming on her lips. “Go to the Villa and see my father. If anything, you should tell him how you feel. You have obvious feelings for him, so you should tell him, right?”
“What if he doesn’t feel the same?” I asked, meeting her eyes.
“Then you’ll know the truth,” she told me. She stood and took the baby from my arms, cradling her. “I think her fever broke. I’ll put her in her crib… go to the Villa, Judy. I mean, what’s the worst that can happen, right?”

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....
