Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 705

Judy’s POV

Gavin stayed with me for the rest of the night, and by the time it was morning, I was cleared to leave.

“Gavin, I can walk,” I chuckled as he carried me from the hospital and towards the waiting car. Erik was the driver, and he sat in the driver’s seat patiently.

“You shouldn’t have to walk,” he told me, kissing my cheek lovingly. “Now that I’m here… you never have to walk again.”

I laughed again and swatted at his chest.

“You’re being dramatic,” I told him, but I didn’t argue because, truth be told, I loved being held by him. My wolf was purring and jumping around happily as our mate cradled us in his arms. I felt an electric current washing over me from his touch, and I could just get lost in him.

Even when we were seated in the car, he kept his arms around the entire drive back to the villa.

I wasn’t going to complain about that either.

“Are you still up to going to the auction tomorrow night?” Gavin asked me.

“Yes, of course,” I told him. “I’m assuming your mom wasn’t able to get the gem back?”

“No, because she doesn’t have proof of ownership. It doesn’t exist anymore,” he explained. “The only way to get it back is to bid for it and hope to win.”

“Are you worried?”

He shook his head.

“I’m the only one who can afford it,” he told me. “I’m not worried at all.”

As we reached the Villa, we were immediately greeted by Irene and Matt. I smiled as I stepped out of the car; just as Matt rushed over to hug me, Gavin stopped him, making me frown.

“Careful,” he told him. “She just got back from the hospital.”

I pushed him aside, rolling my eyes.

“I’m not too fragile for a hug,” I told him, as I pulled Matt into my arms and hugged him tightly.

Irene and Matt nodded.

“Yeah, that sounds great.”

“Good,” Gavin replied with a nod. “And Irene, there’s something I need to talk to you about. I’m going to get Judy settled into bed so she can rest. But I’ll be down in a few minutes.”

“Okay,” Irene said, her brows pinching together. “Should I be worried?”

Gavin didn’t reply, which made Irene’s eyes widen; she now knew something was wrong. He was going to tell her about Ethan. I was still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Ethan was gone.

I will never forget the feeling I got when he lunged at my belly, holding that knife. The anger that flared inside of me was something I had never felt before. My wolf was weak, but even she was flaring to life in a show of protection towards our unborn pup. Without a thought, the IV was ripped out of my wrist as I staggered out of the bed, dodging him by only a hair. I was so scared that he was going to get to my baby, and all the motherly protection inside of me was shining through. I fought tooth and nail for him to leave me alone, and then Gavin stormed in, and his aura was so powerful that it brought me to my knees.

Watching him fight Ethan had me worried because I feared that Ethan would hurt him with the knife. But Gavin had the upper hand the entire time; he was stronger and way more powerful. I knew Ethan was dead before Gavin stopped punching him. I stared at the mess on the ground in a state of shock.

This was someone who was once my fated mate, and now he was nothing. It was bittersweet; on one hand, I had no feelings for him anymore, and the bond had been long broken. But on the other hand, it felt like I should have felt something.

Gavin brought me into his room, which I guess is kind of my room now. We hadn’t really talked about it yet; was he expecting me to move in with him? I guess that was a stupid question considering we are mated now, and I was to be his Luna. But it still felt surreal.
