Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 451

Judy’s POV

“Why was Dad and Irene fighting earlier? I could hear yelling,” Matt asked during the tutoring session.

I tensed at his words; I didn’t want to tell him the whole truth because it would only hurt him to find out it was his sister who tried to poison him a few months ago. I had to protect Matt from the awful truth; I knew Irene felt guilty about it and that Matt wasn’t in any danger, but if he found out the truth, he would never trust her again.

“Just some differences,” I decided to tell him with a shrug. “It’s nothing to be concerned about.”

He looked at me, a small frown on his face.

“Differences?” He asked. “They’ve had disagreements before… but it was never anything like that. Something felt off.”

I bit my lower lip, trying to keep my eyes fixed on the coffee table.

“Irene did something bad, and it put a lot of people in danger. She’s sorry and it won’t happen again, but your dad is upset about it. They’ll be okay. They just need to talk it out and figure out the best outcome for everyone.”

Matt went quiet as he processed my words.

“Oh,” he said softly. “It must have been really bad. You can’t tell me what it is?” d

I sighed and shook my head.

“It’s better for you right now that you don’t know,” I told him. “But your dad loves you both and he’ll do what he can to protect you.”

“Do you think he’s going to make Irene go away?” He asked, a nervous tint in his eyes.

I smiled at him and found myself wrapping an arm around him, pulling him close. It wasn’t often that I had to provide him with this level of comfort. He’s strong-minded, a good fighter, strong, and intelligent. But I forget that he’s also a little boy. He’s almost 8 years old and he follows in Gavin’s footsteps. But he’s still just a child and he has worries and fears just like any other child. He doesn’t want to see his family being broken apart.

“Your dad would never do that,” I assured him. “Maybe if he saw Irene as a real danger then he would. But she’s not a real danger and he knows that. Trust me, if she was… she wouldn’t be anywhere near this Villa right now. Or the pack for that matter. But she’s only in her room, reflecting on her past behavior. She’s not going anywhere. You don’t have to worry about it.”

He nods, his small body relaxing slightly.

I nodded, trying to come up with a logical reason as to why she would want to have dinner with me.

“Yes,” I told him. “She wants to get to know the person who’s tutoring her grandson,” I say as I rub his head.

He let that process for a moment; his eyes turning thoughtful. Then, he nodded, seemingly accepting that answer.

“Will you be mad if I have to cut today's session short?” I ask him, feeling bad that I’ve missed the last couple of tutoring sessions and now I have to cut today’s session short.

He shook his head as he started to pack up his stuff.

“No, my homework is almost done,” he tells me. “I can finish the rest later. Enjoy your dinner.”

He stands up and waves at me before retreating from the room. I looked up at the maid who gave me a small mile.
