With that, she turned and left. My blood ran cold.
Judy had seen the story… during the graduation ceremony.
That explained why Irene called me frantic, because she, too, had seen the news story. I just didn’t realize it was a public scene during the graduation.
I felt sick to my stomach.
I’m not sure how long I stayed in the hospital room, watching Rachel sleep, but I felt numb. How the fuck was I going to explain myself to Judy? She must be thinking the absolute worst about me right now.
My phone rang, bringing me out of my thoughts. I glanced at the screen to see Derek’s cousin Monty’s number. I stood quickly and rushed out of the room, holding the phone to my ear.
“You better have an update. It’s been 2 days, Monty,” I said through my teeth.
“You should be prepared,” Monty murmured. “I have information for you.”
Before I could return, Eliza returned with the ultrasound machine and a fetal paternity test.
“I’m going to wake her up now,” Eliza said. “It might take a bit for the paternity test results. But hopefully I’ll have something for you by the end of the day. She’s a little over a month pregnant, so it’s still a bit too early. But werewolf babies grow faster than humans, so I might be able to get actual results for you.”
I nodded, my grip on the phone tightening.
Eliza disappeared into the hospital room with the machine, and I turned my back to the door to address Monty, who remained on the other end of the phone.
“Send me over everything you can,” I told him. “I’m staying here and waiting for the paternity results.”
“Yes, Alpha.”
With that, the line went dead.
I walked back into the room to see Eliza setting up the machine and Rachel sitting up in bed with a polite smile on her face.
“Good morning,” Rachel said, her eyes finding mine. “Are you ready to see our baby?”
I forced a smile as I reached her.
“I couldn’t be more excited,” I lied, though she seemed to have bought it.
Once Eliza had everything set up, she performed the ultrasound. The whooshing of the baby's heartbeat brought tears to Rachel’s eyes. I felt nothing; there were no emotional ties with the baby because I knew in my heart, it wasn’t mine. But I had to fake it in order for Rachel to believe me.
“That’s our baby,” Rachel breathed, tears streaming down her flushed cheeks.
I forced another smile, my eyes glued to the screen.

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....
