Judy’s PV
My eyes grew wide as I stared at Irene. I remembered Rachel asking Gavin what she should wear to the charity event on Sunday, the same event that Irene was talking about. I had been to a fair share of these events, and both my parents would probably be there, seeming they were Deltas of the Redmoon pack; the Cash family was most likely going to be there as well.
It wasn’t something I was planning on intending, especially since Gavin and I had a falling out now that Rachel, his one and only love, returned. But as I stare at Irene, I can see the worry and seriousness hidden in her blue gaze as she nibbles on her lower lip, waiting for my answer.
“The charity event?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.
She nodded as she shifted Emalyn’s position on her lap.
“Yes,” she replied. “Nan and Chester agreed to babysit Emalyn while I’m at the event. I really don’t want to go to this thing alone... especially if Ethan's family is going to be there. What if I break and bring up Emalyn?”
I raised my brows at her; I hadn’t even thought about that. Despite Irene’s nature and what she did to her brother, Irene wasn’t great at keeping secrets.
“And you expect me to help you keep this secret?” I asked her, eyeing her carefully.
She shrugged.
“I just need a friend there,” she said softly. “I need some support.”
“You know, I bet if you asked Chuck, he’d drop whatever he’s doing to come help you,” I suggest, trying to get out of this because I could already feel myself caving.
She sighed and ran her fingers through her blonde, disheveled hair. The mom look on Irene was something I was starting to get used to. For a long time, I knew her as the girl with perfect clothing and perfect hair 24/7… but now she looked as if she hadn’t showered in days and was wearing the same clothes, with the same stain, then the last time I saw her a few days ago.
“He lives on the other side of the country,” she reminded me. “I don’t want to make him come to me for something like this.”
“Are you still in contact with him?” I asked.
I watched as her cheeks turned a shade of pink and she nibbled her lip nervously again before nodding.
“It’s weird… I can’t explain what’s happening between us. But do you believe in second chance mates?”
I blinked at her question.
“Okay, so…” she began. “My wolf recognized him as our mate the second we spotted him.”
My eyes grew wide as I listened to her. That explains why she was so drawn to him; I should have known it was something like that.
“But it’s clear that he doesn’t recognize us,” she whispered.
I wasn’t sure why she was whispering; we were the only two in the living room. Then again, this mansion was filled with staff. “Whispering Walls,” Nan had always called it.
“Why wouldn’t he recognize you?” I asked.
She sighed and leaned back on the couch.
“He had a mate once,” she whispered. “But she died during a rogue attack.”
Realization dawned on me; if you are granted a second chance, mate, you don’t know it until you mark them officially. It’s the Moon Goddess’s one condition. She wants us to be able to fall in love naturally and truly move on from our past; she doesn’t want us to be influenced by the mate bond. She will bring us together by allowing us to feel that connection towards one another, but we are expected to make the relationship blossom and work on our own. Once we are marked and officially mated, our wolves will recognize each other as second chance mates, and that’ll only bring us closer together and make our love that much stronger.

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....
