The ride home was quiet. Gavin kept one hand on the steering wheel and the other resting on my thigh, grounding me in a way nothing else could. I stared out the window, watching the trees blur past, trying to ignore the faint hum beneath my skin.
That strange feeling still rested deep in my chest; it was like energy settling into my bones, stretching out after a long sleep.
“You’re quiet,” Gavin said, peeking over at me before turning his gaze to the road.
I thought about telling him about that feeling I had when I was with Meg; how it seemed as if she wanted me to be pulled into her mind, and how I almost went. But I didn’t wish for Eliza, who sat in the backseat, to overhear this conversation. This wasn’t something I wanted everyone to know about… at least not until I can figure out what it means.
“It was just hard,” I admitted. “Seeing her like that.”
It wasn’t a complete lie; this was a woman I would have assumed to be my mother… if I hadn’t found out that she switched me at birth and I was really a Blackwell and not a Churchill… I wouldn’t have thought differently.
I couldn’t really explain the connection I felt towards her… but it was there, and it was strong. It was like I was always meant to meet her… always meant to know who she was, even if she wasn’t actually my mother.
But then did that mean I was connected to Lila in some way?
What did all this even mean?
When we finally pulled into the driveway, relief washed over me. We were finally home; it was familiar and safe.
We dropped Eliza off at the packhouse first before we reached the Villa. Irene was the first to spot us as we walked in the front doors.
“Daddy?” Irene said as she descended the last step. “Judy…” she breathed. “Did you find her?”
We both nodded; Gavin tightened his grip on the side of my waist and pulled me into him.
“We found her,” he confirmed. “She’s being brought to Eliza’s clinic, where we can keep an eye on her. She’s been in a coma for 23 years.”
“That’s a long time,” Irene whispered.
She looked tired, which wasn’t unusual for her lately. She was wearing casual jeans and a sweater. Her hair was down, and there were no products in it that gave it a shiny and sleek look. No… her hair looked natural and a bit frizzy in some parts, like she just got out of bed.
She was also wearing barely any makeup.

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?...
