The Uber driver frowned.
“Sorry, you only purchased a one-way Uber pass,” he told me, making my heart stop. I grabbed my phone and looked at the Uber app. I thought I selected the round-trip Uber pass, but sure enough, only the one-way was selected. “I have another customer I need to get to.”
“It’s fine,” I told him as I pushed the door open. “I’ll just get another Uber.”
I slammed the door shut and rushed inside. My main focus was to get to Gavin. There were so many bars in this place that I cursed myself for not asking the bartender which bar he was at.
As I went to multiple bars in search of him, I noticed several strange looks from those around me, all probably wondering why I looked so disheveled and wasn’t dressed up to their standards. I had half a mind to say something to them, but I couldn’t think straight.
As I neared another bar, I felt my wolf stirring, almost pulling me in that direction and making me move faster. She had been wound up and antsy since that phone call and the fact that there are so many different scents here, not to mention a turmoil of emotions running through our veins, made it hard pick up on Gavin’s specific scent, though it was clear to us that he was somewhere in this building.
But the second my wolf caught wind of that specific bar, his scent became evident the closer we got. I picked up my pace, and when I saw him slumped on the counter with the Bartender, I’m assuming Luis, trying to talk to him and give him some water, my quickened pace turned into a run.
The bartender noticed me and a relieved look crossed his face. I’m thinking he assumed I was the one he spoke to on the phone based on the fact that I’m running in their direction and dressed like a slob.
“You must be Judy,” he said when I approached.
Ignoring him, I sat beside Gavin, cupping his face in my hands.
“Gavin,” I said to him, keeping my one low, though there were traces of concern leaking through. Gavin, stay with me.”
“Judy…” He whispered, his face nuzzling my hands. “Mmmm.”
He was burning up.
I looked at the bartender; something wasn’t right.
“Are you sure all he had was scotch?” I asked him.
“They came to the bar together and then she told him she’ll be right back and left,” he said, shrugging. “They looked very intimate.”
I pressed my lips in a thin line, trying hard not to cry in front of the bartender. Now was not the time for pity parties. I needed to get Gavin out of here, back to his home, before he made a complete fool of himself.
“I need to call for an Uber,” I told Gavin, hoping that he could hear and understand me. “Just sit tight. I’m taking you to your villa, and then I’ll call Dr. Pierce.”
He grunted as his head rested back on the counter after I released my hold of him.
“I have a suite…” he murmured. “Just take me there.”
His eyes were closed, but he was clearly conscious.
I glanced at the Bartender, who just shrugged.

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....
