“Drink with me, Judy,” she said. “Let’s show my father that he doesn’t control your life.”
Her words sparked interest in me, and before I knew it, I was taking another shot of tequila.
She cheered, drawing the attention of others around us, making us both giggle with slight embarrassment.
“Judy?” My mother said as she approached. Per usual, she looked gorgeous in her own elegant dress; she had a confused yet bright smile on her face. It was nice that she was taking care of herself again; I loved that things were going back to normal now that my father was out of prison and not in jeopardy of losing his company. “I wasn’t expecting you to be here.”
“I’m afraid that’s my fault, Mrs. Montague. I asked Judy to be my plus one,” Irene said, putting an arm around my shoulder.
Irene had never actually met my mother before, but I knew she knew who she was, as did my mother.
“Miss Landry,” my mother said, looking between the two of us. “I didn’t realize you two were so close.”
“Judy is my good friend,” she told her. “As soon as she started to tutor my brother, we clicked right away. We clearly have the same terrible taste in men,” she tried to joke, and I knew some of it was alcohol induced.
I nearly choked on the wine I started to drink.
My mother’s brows arched as she stared at Irene, and then she turned to look at me.
“May we have a word?” She asked.
I knew what was about to come and I wasn’t looking forward ot this conversation.
“Do we have to do this here?” I asked her, begging her with my eyes to just drop it for tonight.
He kept a plastered smile on her face, telling me that I wasn’t to argue with her. Sighing, I excused myself and followed her to a more secluded spot, feeling eyes on me as I walked through a small crowd. Heat prickled the back of my neck, but I refused to look around at the lust-filled and curious eyes.
My mother finally stopped walking once we reached a small section that had fewer people, and she turned to look at me.
“You’re hanging out with Irene Landry?” She asked me, her brows raised. “Gavin's daughter?”
“Yes,” I told her. “But like me, she was left burned and disappointed. Now we are friends.”
“Heartbreak brings people together,” my mother said, the fight and edge leaving her voice. She gave me a small smile as she put her hand on my shoulder. “If what you are saying is true, that you didn’t tell Gavin about our family’s situation and you didn’t ask him for his help… then you must be really special to him, Judy.”
I blinked at her words, not sure where she was going with this.
“I’m sorry?” I asked; maybe it was the tequila in my system, but her words weren’t really making sense to me.
“A man wouldn’t go out of his way to help someone like that if there wasn’t something real there. I know I’ve been appearing unsupportive since finding out… but if he truly makes you happy and if he cares about you this much… then maybe it’s worth hanging onto after all.”
She squeezed my shoulder before kissing my cheek.
With those parting words, she rejoined my father, leaving me alone with my very confused and tequila-induced thoughts.

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....
