I went with Nan out of the room and towards the front parlor, where Irene was just finishing getting ready. When she turned around to face me, my jaw was on the ground. She was stunning in her off white gown that brought out the colors in her natural features and highlighted her blonde hair. The dress fit her body like a glove and made all her curves noticeable.
Chuck would be on the ground if he saw her.
“Irene, you look beautiful,” I told her.
She beamed at the compliment before looking at the clock.
“Erik will be here soon to pick us up,” she told me. “Are you ready for this?”
I thought about it for a moment, my fingers nervously fiddling together as I nibbled on my lower lip.
“Maybe,” I told her, not wanting to admit how nervous I truly was, though it seemed she could see right through me because she gave me a soft and compassionate smile.
“It’s going to be okay,” she assured me. “We are going to a charity event, one we’ve both been to on countless occasions, and we are going to have a good time. No pressure… no boys… It’s a girls' night.”
I relaxed at her words and nodded in agreement.
“A girl’s night,” I repeated, letting my body relax.
There was a knock on the door, and my entire body tensed again. Irene chuckled and put a hand on my shoulder.
“It’s just Erik,” she assured me. “He’s taking us to the charity event.”
She grabbed her purse off the chair, and I shouldered mine, my entire body trembling as we walked towards the front door. Irene opened the door to see Erik’s smiling face back at us.
“Hey ladies,” he said, his eyes scanning each of us. He lingered on me a bit longer, his eyes dilated. “Wow, Judy. You look gorgeous.”
Erik always spoke to me informally because we had become friends over the years we’ve known each other. I blushed at the compliment and gave a small bow in response.
“Thanks,” I say to him, making him laugh.
“Shall we go?” He asked, offering us each an arm. We both took one of his arms, looping it with ours. I turned to look at Nan, who watched from the doorway with a bright smile. I waved at her and she waved back.
Then something else caught my eye, and my heart stopped in my chest.
“Hey, it’s my dad and Rachel,” Irene pointed out what I had already noticed.
It seemed the paparazzi were already eating up his date, trying to figure out who she was and her importance to Gavin Landry.
“Gavin, is this your new girlfriend?”
“What happened with you and Miss Judy?”
“Who is your date this evening?”
Gavin didn’t bother responding to any of them, but he didn’t have to. His body language was enough. He draped a protective arm around Rache’s waist and pulled her close to him, making the crowd gush in their favor. He held onto her tightly as he guided her through the crowd.
Just before Irene shut off the live feed, I heard someone in the background saying, “That must be his girlfriend… she’s way more suitable and stunning in his arms than Judy ever was.”

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....
