Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 682

Judy’s POV

Gavin’s body tensed at the sound of his mother’s words; his hand gripping mine tightly. He turned to look at her; she stood in the archway of the sitting room, her arms folded across her chest. She wore a gorgeous evening gown, making me think she was just heading out. Her hair was perfectly curled and tied up into a bun, and her makeup looked professionally done.

Her perfectly trimmed brows were knitted together as she stared at the two of us, her eyes occasionally drifting to the hand that Gavin was grasping as if his life depended on it.

I wasn’t surprised by her rude voice or that I wasn’t welcomed into her home. But I was there for Gavin, so I kept my lips clamped shut, hating that my cheeks were growing red.

“Watch how you speak about her, Mother,” Gavin said, a dangerous edge to his voice. “Don’t forget whose property this really is. Judy is here as my guest, and you’ll show her respect.”

She pressed her lips together until they were nothing more than a thin line.

“So, that’s how this is going to be?” She asked, narrowing her eyes at her son. “You are threatening me for her now? Are you seriously trading a Baldwin for this?”

I blanched at her words, but Gavin didn’t release my hand.

“There was nothing to trade. Daisy was never an option for me, and I’m not sure how much more I could make that clear,” Gavin said, his tone firm and leaving no room for arguments.

“She’s a Baldwin… the same bloodline as your mate!” Donna said, a snarl to her tone. “Why wouldn’t you want to stick to the same bloodline. Plus, they are a powerful and rich family. What more could you possibly want? What could this woman offer you that Daisy couldn’t?”

“Melissa stopped being my mate the day she was taken from this world. The bond shattered immediately,” Gavin said, speaking in a low and guarded tone. It made my heart squeeze painfully in my chest, and yet still, he hadn’t let go of my hand. It was reassuring in a way to know that he was still present with me, despite speaking about the past with his mother. “Just because Daisy shares the same blood as her doesn’t make her remotely close to being my mate. Melissa and Daisy couldn’t stand each other, and she would never want me to get with her sister in the first place. But regardless of that, there’s nothing between Daisy and me despite what your wishes.”

“That’s because you haven’t given her a proper chance yet,” Donna said stubbornly; she was relentless and clearly not giving up. “You could learn to love her and choose her as your mate. You could be a powerful couple.”
