Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 147

Chapter 0147

He sighed and shook his head.

“Not even a little bit… but Irene… she’s fragile,” Gavin murmured, shaking his own head. “Taking Ethan away from her would destroy her and I worry about what she might do if that happens. She’s my daughter and I only care about her happiness. I just hope Ethan shapes up once it’s time to marry her, so he never hurts her again.

When I didn’t say anything, his expression softened.

“Plus, Irene is an adult now. I can’t exactly tell her what to do, as much as I want to,” he continued.

“You’re a Lycan chairman, Gavin. Not to mention her father,” I reminded him. “You have every right to tell her what to do.”

‘But at the cost of my daughter?” He asked in return. I can’t lose her, Judy. You out of everyone should know how important family is.”

His words struck a chord inside of me and for some reason, I felt a little hurt. I took a step back from him.

“Of course, I know how important family is, Gavin,” I told him. “Mine is falling apart and I would do

anything to get things back to normal, but that doesn’t seem to be happening, does it?”

He furrowed his brows.

“What exactly are you talking about?”

I stared at him dumbfounded. Did he really not know what was happening in my life? Was he that self- centered that he had no idea how badly my family and were struggling? It was like a slap in the face and reality came crashing down around me. Gavin doesn’t truly care about me… he only cared about having sex and getting his mother off his back. This was the arrangement, so I shouldn’t be surprised, but it still hurt just the same.

I bit my lip, fighting hard to keep the tears away.

“I think I’m going to go home,” I told him, turning away. “My mother is probably wondering why I haven’t been home, and I really don’t want to worry her.‘

“Are you upset?” Gavin asked, I could hear the frown his words.

“No,” I lied. “It’s just been a long day, and you should probably spend some time with your family. They need you more than I do.”

“Judy-”

“I’ll see you later, Gavin,” I said quickly just as I rushed out the front doors of the Villa.

“So, you’ve made up your mind then?” My mother asked, a flash of disappointment crossing her face. ” You are going to be living with her?”

I hadn’t even thought about it honestly, I completely forgot that my mother was planning on selling the house.

“I… uh, I’m not sure,” I told her, glancing at the ground sheepishly.

“That’s too bad,” Meredith said, her eyes flashing with mischief. “We would have welcomed you our home with open arms.

“So, it’s official then?” I asked, my eyes never leave my mothers. “You are selling the house?”

She sighed and met my eyes, sorrow in her gaze as she nodded.

“The deal has already been made. Meredith just brought me the contract. One of her friends is interested in the house and purchased it with cash. We are moving in a couple days….”
