Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 760

“We don’t need babysitters,” Irene muttered, brushing past him. “But since you’re here, you might as well join us for lunch.”

She sounded annoyed and unlike herself. I knew it had something to do with Chuck; she was hardening her heart because of him.

“I could eat,” Erik said with a shrug.

As we walked, Erik leaned in closer to me.

“What crawled up her ass?” He whispered, as if Irene couldn’t hear us with her wolf’s hearing.

I gave him a look.

“Not the time,” I muttered.

“You’re in a bad mood too?” He asked, raising his brows. “Is everyone in a bad mood?”

“I’m not,” Nan said with a bright smile. “I’m in a great mood.”

“Then I’ll stick by your side,” Erik said, moving to the other side of me where Nan walked. “These two are seriously about to give me gray hair.”

Nan laughed. The two of them continued to talk while I caught up with Irene.

“Do you want to talk about it?” I asked her.

She glanced at me, her eyes showcasing her sadness.

“Not right now,” she said with a soft sigh. “I’m assuming my father doesn’t want us going to Jeremy’s territory to confront Chuck…”

“It’s not that… it’s just… well… I mean… yeah,” I finally confessed. “But he said we can talk about it later.”

“It’s not fair,” she said, shaking her head. “Everybody gets to be happy except for me. Am I doomed to be alone forever? Is that my fate? First, my chosen mate… and now my true mate… what’s wrong with me?”

We finally reached the Carter resort restaurant for a late lunch. Amelia, a new waitress at the resort, immediately greeted us. Nan personally trained her before she left to pursue her own dreams of owning a restaurant.

“Hey, Mia,” Nan greeted, giving her a quick hug. “Mind if we get a table?”

Nan taught her that information, and it proved true on many occasions.

Nan just laughed as she said, “Of course.”

Amelia beamed and brought us towards a booth near a window that overlooked the harbor.

“Take a minute to look over the menus, and I’ll be right back,” she said after she finished pouring us glasses of water.

After she left us alone, Erik leaned in and dropped his voice to a whisper.
