Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 591

“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.
