Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 860

Judy’s POV

Daisy Baldwin stood at the front gates, as if she belonged there. She tucked her short blond curls behind her ear and tried to keep her head held high, as she always did. However, I could see the tension in her shoulders and the way she kept looking around, as if she were afraid she would be found at any moment.

“Daisy is here?” Irene asked, her hands dusty with cheese. I noticed my friends were all staring at me, their eyes wide.

“She is,” Adam confirmed, nodding his head at the tablet that clearly showed Daisy waiting at the front entrance.

“We need to tell my father,” Irene said as she reached for her phone.

“Wait,” I blurted before she could pull up Gavin’s number. I turned to look at her, holding out my hand to stop her from calling him. I felt the sizzling crackle spark my fingertips, and I quickly pulled my hands back.

Magic surged through me, simmering and angry, and it made me feel uneasy. I needed to learn to control this magic before it controlled me.

Irene must have noticed the magic because her face went pale.

I cleared my throat and stepped away from her.

“Let me just see what she wants,” I said, turning back to Adam. “I’ll walk out and see her.:

“That’s not a good idea,” Irene said, shaking her head. “My father would be furious if he found out.”

“Well, Gavin’s not here, or I’d have him go talk to her,” I said, raising my brows at her. “If she’s here to talk, then we will talk.”

“I’ll go with you,” Erik said as he stood from the table.

I nodded, and together we headed towards the front door.

“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Irene called after us.

“Yeah, maybe Irene’s right. Daisy is bad news,” Nan agreed.

“If I’m going to be the Silver Crescent Pack Luna, then I can’t cower away from a fight if one is presented to me,” I said from over my shoulder.

“You can’t fight!” Irene yelled. “You’re pregnant.”

“I’ll make sure she doesn’t fight,” Erik assured her as he followed me out of the front doors. The front courtyard was bright with late afternoon sun. Guards stood at their posts, hands near their weapons, eyes trained on the iron gate.

And there she was.

Daisy Baldwin.

The closer I got to her, the more I realized that she no longer looked like the confident puppet she’d been when she was playing everyone and stealing the stone from the Landry’s. She looked wrung out. Hollow around the cheeks. Her lips were pale. Her eyes had shadows like she hadn’t slept in days.

When she saw me, she straightened like a wire being pulled tight. She wrapped her arms around herself like she was trying to hold herself together, and then I saw her lip… it was swollen and cut in the corner.

My eyes narrowed at her as I stepped closer to the gate. Just before I reached the latch, Erik grabbed my arm gently.
