By the time she finished, the waiter had filled out his entire notepad and was red in the face. He flipped to a new page and said with gritted teeth, “And what may I get for you?”
Chester grinned and pretty much did the same exact thing, only with a different dish.
The waiter pretty much grumbled as he walked away, majorly annoyed by them. Chester let out a hearty laugh as he looked at Nan, awe written all over his face.
“That was impressive,” he told her, still laughing. “Not many know exactly how they want their food prepared like that.”
Nan shrugged, biting back a smile herself, her cheeks feeling oddly warm.
“Habit, I guess,” she said softly, staring down at her wine glass. “Thanks for backing me up. I was worried he would hate me for the rest of the evening, but now it seems he’ll hate us both.”
Chester laughed again and Nan found herself liking the sound.
“What do you do for work?” Chester suddenly asked.
Nan’s face reddened even more; she was in her 20s and she felt like she hadn’t gotten all that far in life. She wasn’t a well-known chef like Chester… she felt little in comparison.
“I’m a waitress at the Carter resort,” she told him softly, taking another isp of her wine.
“No, shit?” Chester asked, raising his brows. “That explains why you know how you want your food prepared. That’s a pretty elegant place. Patrick Carter keeps a tight ship.”
Nan nodded as she thought about her boss; Delta Carter was a hard ass, but a fair man. He gave Nan the raises she’d asked for over the years and even complimented her skills. He travels a lot and always trusts Nan to keep charge of things while he’s gone.
“Patrick is actually a friend of mine,” Chester said, his eyes studying Nan. “So, if he ever gives you problems, let me know. I’ll kick his ass.”
Nan bit back another smile.
“He’s actually a pretty good boss,” she admitted.
Nan snorted without meaning to; her cheeks burned from the sound. It made Chester grin even more; he found that to be the cutest sound he’d ever heard.
The waiter soon returned with their wine and then left without another word, making them both suppress laughter as they started to eat their food.
Nan took small bites, noting each of the seasonings she could taste. She was impressed with the use of Tyme, paired with other seasonings that typically wouldn’t work together, but in this case, it did.
She had a bad habit of noting the different seasonings in dishes she ate without realizing she was doing it. She didn’t even know she was doing it out loud until she noticed Chester staring at her with wide eyes.
Before he could say anything, he noted someone approaching them behind Nan and his eyes darkened.
“What the fuck…” he whispered.

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?...
