Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 724

Judy’s POV

“You’re asking me to take over Levi’s territory? W… wouldn’t that make me a chairman?” Lukas asked, his eyes wide with shock.

“Yes, it would. There is an empty chair now, and it’s yours if you want it,” Gavin told him. His tone was surprisingly gentle, and his eyes were compassionate.

“What about school, though? I’ve worked so hard to get to this point, and it feels like it’s for nothing if I’m just given the title because of my uncle,” Lukas said, his concerns valid.

“That isn’t the reason you are given the title, Lukas. Sure, Mica put in a good word for you and opened up the idea of that option, but I went through your successes, in and out of school; I’ve seen your resume, I’ve spoken to your professors… You are more than qualified for this position. Your uncle isn’t the reason for this offer; your work ethics, experience, and morals are what make you the best candidate. You know what you need to do to get ahead, and I admire that. When I told you to stay away from Judy and threatened your scholarship, you backed down without a fight, and I knew it killed you on the inside.”

At that point, Gavin put an arm around me and pulled me close to him.

“It meant a lot that you obeyed my wishes and respected my mate. It would be an honor if you accept this position. Of course, you can finish school and get your degree before you officially take on the role… but the position is yours when you are ready for it.”

Lukas looked like he wanted to cry; he was suppressing a happy cheer, and it made me smile. I teared up watching the many emotions crossing his face. He looked at me, a glimmer of excitement in his gaze, and I couldn’t help but smile at him. He looked back at Gavin and held out his hand to shake it, squaring his shoulders and trying to look just as important and powerful.

It was oddly endearing.

“It would be an honor to accept this position as a Lycan Chairman, Alpha Landry,” Lukas said, his tone no longer wavering.

Gavin nodded and took his hand in a firm handshake to seal the deal. Then, like a young boy, he grinned.

“I’m going to call my mom,” he said, making me burst out laughing as he rushed away. Gavin smiled too, watching him disappear around the corner.

“That was a nice thing you did for him,” I said, leaning against him, basking in the warmth and comfort he brought me.

“Yeah, well… I feel like I kind of owed him after scaring him so badly,” Gavin admitted. “But I do think he’s the best candidate for the position, and he’ll do way better than Levi ever did.”

“I was worried I wouldn’t look good for the wedding and fit in the dress,” she admitted. “I know Sabrina could have fixed it, but I was really scared. I just wanted to look perfect.”

“Nan, you’ve always looked perfect,” I assured her.

She smiled at me, but her attention was drawn to the plate that was placed in front of her.

“Finally,” she breathed.
