He wasn’t much help right now; there was absolutely no getting out of this.
As we entered the thought front doors, I caught the curious eyes of Alex, who was standing near the doorway in his usual post. He raised his brows at me and then glanced at Gavin, who was trailing at a distance behind me. I swear I heard him chuckle, which admittedly aggravated me. For some reason, Alex wasn’t the biggest fan of me, and he even plotted against me with Irene at one point.
I scowled at him as I was pulled into the parlor. The entire parlor smelled like Rachel, and it made my stomach feel uneasy.
Rachel sat with me on the couch, and Gavin sat in one of the chairs a bit away from us. I tried hard not to look at him, but I could certainly feel his gaze trained on my face.
“So, tell me, Judy, what’s a girl like you doing working for a guy like Gavin Landry?” She teased, giving Gavin a playful wink that made me scowl, though I suppressed it on my face.
“I’m not sure what you mean?” I asked, my brows furrowed.
She giggled.
“I mean, surely there were better jobs than just being a tutor to an 8-year-old,” she told me, a hint of something in her eyes. “What made you decide to do tutoring?”
I wasn’t about to tell her my entire life story and the fact that the only reason why I started working as Matt’s tutor was to get the money, I needed to bail my dad out of jail by paying off his debt. I glanced at Gavin, who was no longer looking at me, but his eyes were on Rachel.
My heart squeezed at the sight of him watching her.
“I’m a college student,” I decided to tell her. “And I could use the money. Gav… uh… Alpha Landry offered me a job, and with the pay amount, I couldn’t exactly say no.”
She nodded thoughtfully.
“Well, it was nice of him to offer you a job,” Rachel said with a genuine smile. “Gavin had always been so selfless like that.”
She glanced at him, her eyes shining with something that made me want to vomit right in the middle of the parlor. Her words had a double meaning, that much was clear, and I wasn’t about to sit around deciphering them.
Before I could say anything, the parlor door opened, and Gamma Derek walked into the room. He looked surprised to see me seated on the couch and he bowed his head out of respect to me; he was always respectful like that, which I appreciated, though I told him it wasn’t necessary.
“I’m sorry?”
“I mean… have you heard what happened?” She asked. “When I told you my name earlier, you looked surprised. I’m assuming it’s because you heard about me…”
I nibbled on my lower lip and then nodded once.
“Guess I was just surprised that you’re still alive,” I told her, the words tasting bitter on my tongue.
“It’s a complicated story,” she admitted. “But I’m back now and that’s all that matters.”
“Yeah, why are you back?” I blurted, hating how vulnerable my tone sounded.
“For Gavin, of course,” she told me. “We were really close once… so close that I was considering marrying him. I want us to get that relationship back… I want us to have a second chance.”

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....
