Judy’s POV
Irene was still seated in the ballroom when I returned; only this time, she was sipping on her tea and looking much calmer. When she saw me, her expression softened a bit, and I could see the apology in her eyes.
“Where’s Selene Blackwell?” She asked, glancing behind me at the doorway with a slight frown.
“She had to go,” I told her with a shrug. “I let her off the hook.”
Irene nodded, though she looked uncertain. I decided not to tell her about Selene’s offer to teach me Etiquette on her own time tomorrow. I would have to come up with an excuse as to why I couldn’t be here tomorrow, so Irene doesn’t feel bad that I’m choosing to learn from someone else over her. It’s not that I don’t find her capable or that I don’t trust her, but something tells me I need to go to the Blackwell manor tomorrow so I can find out the truth about what is going on.
I know that I will find the answers to questions I didn’t even know I was asking.
She set her tea aside and stood up.
“I’m so sorry, Judy. I didn’t mean to be rude earlier…”
I shook my head.
“It’s okay, I understand,” I told her quickly. “You’re going through a lot.”
“It’s still no excuse,” she said, nibbling on her lower lip. “It’s just that… with everything going on—”
Before she could finish that sentence, I had her wrapped in a hug.
“Don’t even worry about it, Irene,” I told her softly, tightening my hold on her. “It’s okay. I know you’re hurting. I’m here if you want to talk about it.”
She was quiet, and I could hear her body relaxing as I held her.
“Do you want to talk about it?” I asked her, pulling away so I could look her in the face.
I could see the tears swirling in her eyes, and it broke my heart completely.


I ignored her statement and continued.

She let out a desperate laugh as she shook her head.
“I don’t understand how Chuck got under my skin so cleverly… he’s not my usual type,” she muttered. “But I loved… I love him so much.”
My heart broke at her words.
“It wasn’t real,” I said softly.
She rolled her tear-filled eyes.
“That’s what Erik said, too, but I truly did love Chuck. How could he tell me it wasn’t real?”

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?...
