Chapter 0253
“So, instead, he left me? His mate?” Nan asked, her eyes growing wide as she stared up at me. “How does that make sense, Judy?
I was quiet for a moment, not really sure how to answer her
“I don’t know,” I admitted. “It’s all too much right now. I’m sorry you have to deal with this.”
She sighed and threw the pillow to the side.
“I just don’t want to think about it anymore,” she said, shaking her head as she wiped at her eyes. “Let’s talk about you instead.”
1 smiled.
“What about me?” I asked.
She rolled her eyes.
“Oh, please. I’m not stupid, Judy. You are living in his mansion. You already told me you’ve been sleeping -together, but I think there’s more to it. You have actual feelings for him and it’s obvious he has feelings
for you
too.”
“What are you talking about?” I asked, feeling heat creeping across my cheeks. “We are just having a bit of fun. We both agreed it’s just a show. It’s not that serious.”
“A bit of fun? Seriously, Judy? He’s letting you live in his mansion,” she said, waving around at the vast space. You are pretty much a princess right now.”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
“I’m not a princess,” I said, swatting at her arm. “And Gavin has barely been here in the last few days.”
I couldn’t keep the bitterness out of my tone as I spoke; the smile slowly faded from my lips.
“What do you mean?” Nan asked with a frown. “Is everything okay?”
I shrugged and nibbled on my lower lip.
“I don’t know,” I admitted. “One minute he can’t get enough of me and the next, he doesn’t want to spend any time with me. He keeps canceling our plans whenever Irene cries for him.”
“Irene is causing problems again?” Nan asked, her brows raised.
I nodded and then I sighed.
“She’s his daughter, so I can’t fault him for choosing her. But it’s just constant. Every time she’s in a bad mood or has sniffles, he cancels our plans to tend to her. I haven’t seen him in days and when I do see him while I’m tutoring Matt, he blows me off. Claiming he’s too busy to talk. I don’t even think he’s sleeping at the villa. Which makes me wonder where’s been sleeping if not at the Vill and not-with me.”
I was rambling, but I couldn’t help myself. I was so confused about what was happening that it was making the words spill from my mouth.
“He’s Gavin Landry. He’s probably just busy,” Nan suggested, a worried frown marring her lips. “I’m sure it’s. hothing to worry too much about. Don’t stress over it.”
“I could say the same to you,” I teased. “You are worried about your mate, and I’m worried about a guy I’m sleeping with. What happened to us?”

“Judy, that’s incredible!” She gasped. “Congratulations! That’s everything you’ve wanted!”
“Thanks,” I said. This was the first time I said these words out loud to anyone. I wanted Gavin to be the first one 1 told, but he’s been MIA for days. “It’s across the country, so I’ll be gone for a few weeks.”
Her face fell suddenly.
“Oh,” she breathed. “So, you’re leaving?”
I nodded, nibbling on my lower lip..
“I leave next week,” I admitted.
She nodded, her shoulders sagging.
“I’m going to miss you. I’m not sure what I’ll do without out,” she murmured. “But maybe some time away would do you some good.”
That was when I had an idea.
“Yeah, it would,” I told her, then I turned to look at her. “And it would do you some good too. Come with me.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law
This story is all over the place. i'm trying my best to keep going because he would be so good The writer and editor communicated at least a little. (Yes I understand its 1 maybe 2 people writing and tending to the story) However, everyone needs to be on the same page. The characters names continue to change: Rachel at first then her name changed to Rebecca, Ethans sister name is now jenna. some times they talk in 3rd person which I'm sure is a accident when its in that characters POV. How did we do a time jump 5 years making Matt 13 with Judy's son being 5 years old but when we get to the Blackwell story line he's nine again and she's still pregnant using her time with matt to gain experience with her son. What happened to the time jump....
Is it just me, or do they add chapters daily for one week then leave you in suspense for a week before they start posting again? The book is amazing, but it's frustrating being in such high excitement and thrill then being left with your mind boggling....
Thank you for continuing to write this story! Trying to be grateful for the recent 2 small chapters a day, however due to enjoying it so much, wish they were more and longer....
Could the author please get the names correct…CHESTER is Nan’s mate —NOT Chuck. I don’t know who is writing these chapters, but I do not think it is the original author. Considering the original author has quite a few ongoing stories, she must have handed this one off to someone else. Very disappointing!...
Has the author forgot her own story? Didn't lila/Racheal date gavin when he first got Mathew? Meaning that she's the same or similar age as gavin! Now it's changed that she's born on the same day as Judy......
This book has gone off the rails. First there was a Five Years Later chapter where everyone had kids and Irene was marked and pregnant by Chuck and now they're not mated and Chuck is a slime ball. Make it make sense....
I don't understand thus story. Didn't she just win 5 million in the gamma games? Why is she living with people and not in her own place?...
No updates/new chapters since 10/14/2025???? This is so frustrating for those of us who have followed this book/author from the beginning! So disappointing!...
Why no updates posted since 9/20/25????...
Well that.....sucked. That can't seriously be the ending? Tf?...
