Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 379

After a long while, I finally got the courage to move and return to my room for the night. The second I was behind the closed doors and saw that I was alone, I burst into tears, crying until I couldn’t cry anymore.

......

“She’s been crying all night,” I heard Nan whispering. “Since we got back from dinner.”

“What do you think happened/” Chester asked, his concern clear as he spoke in a whispered tone, as if I wasn’t awake and could hear everything they were saying.

At least they were getting along even though their common dominator was me.

“If I were to guess, I’d say it’s Gavin related,” Nan said thoughtfully.

“She has the final round of the competition today; this isn’t good,” he said, shaking his head. “She’s unfocused.”

I sit up in bed and glare at them.

“You know I can hear you, right?” I ask, staring between them. “And I assure you, my performance today will be fine.”

I quickly get out of bed and grab my workout clothes, my brain a jumbled mess after last night. I could feel their eyes on me still though and I hated it. I hated that I was someone they were now concerned about. I hated that I was someone becoming unstable; someone they needed to be wary of.

“We are here if you want to tell us what happened,” Nan said softly as she watched me roam around the room, collecting my things before I went into the bathroom. I stared at myself in the mirror, fully realizing why they were so concerned. I looked awful. My face was red and blotchy, my eyes were puffy, my nose was glowing red, and I had tear streaks down my cheeks. I also had dark bags under my eyes and my lower lip was bruised from biting it after a night of stifling sobs.

I hated that I looked this pathetic, and it was all because of a stupid guy.

I quickly dressed, threw my hair in a pony and splashed some cold water on my face. I tried to force a smile, but it looked fake, so I gave up.

Nan and Chester were still watching me as I walked out of the bathroom, and I froze at the sight of their eyes on me.

I sighed.

“Glad you two have common grounds,” I murmured.

“We care about you,” Chester said with a shrug. “That cancels any of the tension between us.”

Nan nodded in agreement; her eyes still fixed on my face.

I didn’t like concerning them like this.

I sighed.

“Gavin was with another woman last night,” I murmured.

Nan’s brows furrowed.

“Wait what?” She asked. “Are you sure?”

“It’s fine,” I said softly. “Oh, and Ethan is here, which is great.”

“What??” Nan gasped. “At the same time as Daisy? This explains everything. This has Ethan written all over it.”

I shook my head and wiped my eyes.

“He doesn’t know her, and I doubt Daisy would involve herself with Ethan and his stupidity,” I muttered. “Let’s face it, Nan. I was played for a fool by a Landry. I shouldn’t be surprised.”

“It just doesn’t sound like him,” Nan said softly. “I don’t understand…”

“You don’t have to understand. It’s the facts. Gavin played me… he’s with Daisy and now I’m the stupid one with a broken heart.”

I glanced at the time and sighed. I was going to be late, and I promised I’d meet Tabby beforehand.

“I have to get to the arena and somehow get through this competition. Then, I’m quitting my job and going to try and move on,” I told her, as I walked past her.

“What is your plan for work?” She asked, her brows furrowed.

“Alpha Levi offered me a job earlier…” I told her softly. “I’ll think I’ll take him up on the offer.” With those words left in the air, I stepped out of the hotel room.
