Chapter 0053
“Why are you asking?” He countered; his eyes narrowed in her direction..
She sucked her bottom lip into her mouth and nibbled on it gently as she thought about how to answer his question.
Truth be told, she wasn’t sure why she wanted to know. Maybe to prove that the mate bond doesn’t matter. She’s not mated with Ethan, but if either of them did ever found their mates, would they still want to be with each other, or would they automatically choose their mates? The thought terrified Irene and she would be lying if she said she wasn’t worried about Ethan one day finding his mate and then leaving her.
She wanted to know if the mate bond could be fought. If someone as strong and powerful as Gavin Landry couldn’t fight the mate bond, was there any hope for the rest of them?
“I guess I’m just trying to figure out how the mate bond works,” she murmured, tugging at her fingers. nervously.
He sighed and leaned back on the couch as he thought about her question.
“The bond is strong,” he admitted. “Probably the strangest thing you’d ever experience. You think your have a handle on it, but in reality, you aren’t in control. It’s your wolves that take over. They make it impossible to stay away. But there’s also a part of you that doesn’t want to stay away. You will start to crave them to a point where it’s almost painful. Fighting it would only make you and your wolf miserable.”
“Did you try to fight it?” She asked.
“I was young,” he murmured. “I didn’t really understand the feeling and the bond. It was all very confusing. I think a part of me tried to fight it, yes. But your mother had a way of bringing me out of my shell. Then, she gave me the greatest gift I could have ever received.”
“What’s that?” She asked.
Gavin wrapped an arm around his daughter and pulled her in for a hug.
“You,” he answered.
She smiled as she peered up at him.
So, you did love her,” she said softly; it wasn’t a question this time, but Gavin still answered her anyway. He nodded with a soft smile playing on his lips.
Yes,” he answered. “When she died it was really difficult.”
“Is that why you don’t date?”
He raised his brows at her question.
“I date.”
“You don’t date seriously,” she retorted. “It’s always one–night stands. Never anything real.”
Chapter 0053
“Is there anything you need tonight before I call it a night?” One of the maids asked, walking into the
room.
Gavin sighed and stood to his feet.
“No, you are dismissed,” he told her and started to walk past her.
“I quite liked Miss Montague,” the maid proceeded to say before Gavin could leave the room. “She’s a good fit for the house; don’t you think?”
Gavin wasn’t sure what to say in response, so he chose not to say anything. He walked out of the living room without sparing her another look.

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?...
