“We don’t need babysitters,” Irene muttered, brushing past him. “But since you’re here, you might as well join us for lunch.”
She sounded annoyed and unlike herself. I knew it had something to do with Chuck; she was hardening her heart because of him.
“I could eat,” Erik said with a shrug.
As we walked, Erik leaned in closer to me.
“What crawled up her ass?” He whispered, as if Irene couldn’t hear us with her wolf’s hearing.
I gave him a look.
“Not the time,” I muttered.
“You’re in a bad mood too?” He asked, raising his brows. “Is everyone in a bad mood?”
“I’m not,” Nan said with a bright smile. “I’m in a great mood.”
“Then I’ll stick by your side,” Erik said, moving to the other side of me where Nan walked. “These two are seriously about to give me gray hair.”
Nan laughed. The two of them continued to talk while I caught up with Irene.
“Do you want to talk about it?” I asked her.
She glanced at me, her eyes showcasing her sadness.
“Not right now,” she said with a soft sigh. “I’m assuming my father doesn’t want us going to Jeremy’s territory to confront Chuck…”
“It’s not that… it’s just… well… I mean… yeah,” I finally confessed. “But he said we can talk about it later.”
“It’s not fair,” she said, shaking her head. “Everybody gets to be happy except for me. Am I doomed to be alone forever? Is that my fate? First, my chosen mate… and now my true mate… what’s wrong with me?”
We finally reached the Carter resort restaurant for a late lunch. Amelia, a new waitress at the resort, immediately greeted us. Nan personally trained her before she left to pursue her own dreams of owning a restaurant.
“Hey, Mia,” Nan greeted, giving her a quick hug. “Mind if we get a table?”
“Only if I can be your waitress,” Mia said, shifting her gaze to Irene for a moment. Even I could see the dollar signs in Amelia’s eyes. Anybody around here would want to serve a Landry’s table because they always tip well.
Nan taught her that information, and it proved true on many occasions.
Nan just laughed as she said, “Of course.”
Amelia beamed and brought us towards a booth near a window that overlooked the harbor.
“Take a minute to look over the menus, and I’ll be right back,” she said after she finished pouring us glasses of water.
After she left us alone, Erik leaned in and dropped his voice to a whisper.

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?...
