Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 686

Judy’s POV

“I need you to call that auction and find out who put that gem on the list,” Gavin said, taking hold of my hand and guiding me out of his mom’s room.

“You don’t really think she’d steal it, do you?” Donna asked, trailing after us. I could hear the worry in her voice, and I started to feel bad. If she was truly deceived by Daisy, it meant everything she knew was a lie.

“That’s what we need to find out,” Gavin said as we made our way down the stairs. “Regardless, Judy and I are going to that auction on Saturday. We can’t let anybody get to that gem. But I need you to find out the truth about Daisy. I’ll send Taylor over in the morning, and you can investigate it tomorrow. But call the auction tonight and see if you can get the gem pulled. It belongs to you, so that might be enough to retrieve it.”

Donna nodded as we stopped at the front door. She looked uneasy; her mind clouded with thoughts.

Gavin turned to look at his mother.

“I know this wasn’t your fault,” he told her gently. “But we need to remain calm if we want to figure this out. There’s no use in dwelling on what can’t be controlled.”

She looked up at him, tears filling her eyes, and then she nodded slowly.

“I’m so sorry…” she whispered. “I had no idea.”

“I know.”

She then looked at me, more tears filling her eyes.

“Are you really carrying my grandpup?” She asked me, much to my surprise.

I put my hand on my belly, feeling my nerves jostling.

“I am,” I told her.

Gavin put an arm around me, pulling me close to his side, a show of affection and protection that made me melt.

She stepped closer to me, making Gavin tense, though the look in her eyes was anything but vicious.

A small smile tipped the corner of her lips.

“Thank you for being there for my son when I was too blinded,” she whispered.

“Come on,” he said, wrapping an arm around my shoulders and keeping me close to his side.

As soon as we started to pass the crowds of people, eyes turned in our direction. It was surreal having everyone bow as we walked by them; I knew it had nothing to do with me and everything to do with Gavin, but still, but association, it still felt surreal. Gavin didn’t let me go the entire time, not even when we were inside.

I immediately spotted Nan and Chester; Nan was holding Emalyn in her arms, and Chester was staring admiringly at her. Her diamond engagement ring glistened on her finger, catching the light from the chandelier that hung high on the ceiling.

My parents were with Sampson and Lucy, introducing them to a few other packmates. Lucy spotted me and she smiled, excusing herself from Sampson’s side to join me.

“Hey, you came!” She came, wrapping me in her arms. Gavin reluctantly released me so I could embrace my friend.

“Of course I did. Did you really think I’d miss this?” I asked her, hugging her back tightly.

“There are so many people here. I didn’t expect this outcome when we sent out a notice about the party,” she breathed. “Two packs are in this packhouse right now. It’s insane.”

“They wanted to welcome the new Alpha and Luna,” I told her. “It’s been a while since the Redmoon pack had anyone, and they are excited.”
