“You’re too good to me,” she murmured, sipping the milk. “So, what were we talking about? What’s an option?”
“I was suggesting to Nan and Chester that maybe they should adopt Emalyn,” I told her, pausing to gauge her reaction.
Her eyes grew wide as she looked at me, and then at Nan, Chester, and finally Emalyn, who was content in Nan’s arms, drinking from her bottle.
Breaking the silence, Nan started to ramble nervously.
“I was telling them that it’s ridiculous,” she said with a nervous laugh. “We’ve only been mated for like 5 minutes, and so far it’s been so rocky between us. Yes, we can babysit, but we don’t know the first thing about raising an actual baby. I don’t think we are ready for that kind of step and—”
“I think it’s a great idea,” Irene cut in before Nan could finish her jumbled thoughts.
We all looked at her, surprised.
“You do?” Nan asked her, widening her eyes.
Irene nodded as she took another sip of her wine; her eyes turned thoughtful.
“As much as I love Emalyn, she’s not my baby. She’s a reminder of the cruel man I fell in love with…she’s a reminder of the betrayal I faced. I can’t connect with her. She’s adorable, but she cries constantly when she’s with me. I knew in my heart that she would have to get adopted eventually; I’m way too immature for a baby. I want her to go to a good home and be loved by people I trust. I want to still be able to see her and be Auntie Irene,” Irene said with a grin. “There’s no better couple than you.”
‘I couldn’t agree more,” I said with my own grin.
Irene looked at me, and then her eyes narrowed.
“How are you so put together after last night?” She asked. “I looked like the human equivalent of a train wreck, and you look hot.”
I glanced down at my crop top and high-waisted jeans with a frown. I didn’t think I looked hot, but to each their own.
“Thanks,” I said with a shrug. “I took a shower this morning. Don’t get me wrong, I have a headache too, but I drank water last night to keep me hydrated this morning.”
I didn’t bother telling her that it was her father who gave me the water and made sure that I was okay this morning.
“I have to go see Elana later,” Ireme murmured. “I need to apologize for my behavior last night. I shouldn’t have gotten that drunk. I should have listened to you, Judy. I’m sorry for putting you I that position.”
“Something wrong?” Erik asked as I got into the car beside Nan.
I shake my head.
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad to see you. I was just expecting it to be Taylor this morning,” I told him. “Was he busy?”
Erik nodded.
‘Yeah, he’s at Gavin’s office doing some missed paperwork,” he admitted. “Gavin wasn’t able to make it into the office this morning, so Taylor got stuck with the slack.”
I frowned at that.
“I don’t understand… why couldn’t Gavin make it in?” I asked; I saw Gavin literally last night, and he was completely fine… more than fine. My cheeks flushed at the memory, and I hoped that nobody else could see it.
“He’s busy this morning with Miss Rachel.”

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....
