“Judy?” My mother asked softly. “Are you okay?”
I realized I had been quiet for too long, and I cleared my throat.
“Yeah, Mom. I’m okay. I just miss you…” It was the truth; tears threatened my eyes. All I wanted was to hug my mom; I missed her like crazy. I missed the familiarity of home. But I couldn’t go home… not yet… maybe not ever. “How’s…” My voice trailed off as Gavin’s name was the first on my tongue. I wanted to ask her if she had heard anything about him or about his upcoming wedding, but I couldn’t force the words out of my lips. “How’s everyone? Nan… Dad…”
“They miss you,” my mom said, sighing. “Nan is okay. I told her that you were spending time getting used to your new pack and job, so you have your phone off. She’s been worried about you and wants to talk to you. You should give her a call.”
I thought about it, but I didn’t because I knew she’d only talk about Gavn. Being mated to Chester and practically living in Gavin’s mansion with Irene, she has a front row seat to everything. I knew if I wanted information, Nan would provide it.
“Yeah,” I said softly. “Maybe I will.”
“They are talking to Alpha Landry about adopting Emalyn,” my mother told me. “She’s been wanting to tell you that Chester proposed to her a few days ago, and she said yes.”
I gasped.
“What?! Nan and Chester are getting married??” I asked, my eyes wide. Now that was shocking news. So much had changed in only a couple of days.
My mother chuckled.
“Yes,” she replied. “She’s happy, but also sad because she doesn’t have her best friend here by her side.”
Guilt nagged at my insides, and I nibbled on my lower lip, trying hard to keep my voice under control and not crack with emotions.
“I’ll reach out,” I tell her, though I’m not sure when I’ll reach out. I’m not sure what I was so afraid of, but something inside of me stopped me from making that phone call.
There was a lull in the conversation; I wasn’t sure what more to say, even though I wasn’t ready for this conversation to end. My heart ached, and I needed my mom more than anything right now. So, why couldn’t I talk to her?
‘Judy?” My mom said, her tone soft with compassion and lingering worry.
“I love you, too, Judy. We all love you,” she said softly. “Your father and I… and your friends. Call them.”
“I will,” I promised.
“I’ll let you go now… I’m sure you’re busy. But call again soon, okay?”
“Okay,” I told her.
After we said our final goodbyes, the line went dead. I stayed frozen on my bed with my phone pressed to my cheek, tears still falling out of my eyes, and my lip trembling.
I’ve only ever wanted you to be happy, Judy…”
Those words echoed in my mind, breaking my heart all over again because the truth of the matter was… I wasn’t happy. And I wasn’t sure if I ever would be again.

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?...
