Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 10

Chapter 0010

“Are you afraid of me?” I asked the boy, my eyes narrowed. “Or are you incapable of asking me for my name yourself?”

Matthew looked stunned by my directness. I was never one to sugarcoat anything and clearly his former tutors were exactly that type. His cheeks turned a bright shade of pink as he glanced at the ground; Adam just looked amused.

“I am Matt. What is your name?”

I smiled at the small child and lowered myself, so I was at eye level with him.

“You may call me Judy,” I told him.

He lifted his head and squared his shoulders as if he was getting ready to fight.

“You are really good at shooting, but that doesn’t mean you are good at everything,” he said to me, his tone hardening, and the look in his eyes gave my chest a sinking feeling. “My tutors are all weak and I bet you’re the same You don’t look very strong or intelligent. I need someone capable.”

He put his hands on his hips.

“You are certainly very vocal for a 7–year–old,” I praised. “And how do you expect I should prove myself, Master

Matt?”

He smirked and then walked over to a bucket I hadn’t known was there. I frowned when I saw the contents inside. They looked like daggers. I also noticed the dummies that were set up; they must be for dagger throwing. I knew that was a common practice warriors had so I wasn’t surprised to see it. But I was surprised to see Matt pick up a couple of daggers and hold them like he was about to stab me.

I looked at Adam who looked ready to intervene; his face had paled drastically. It only took me a second to realize what was about to happen. Soon, a dagger was being thrown directly at me at a quick pace. He had quite an arm and an aim when it came to dagger throwing.

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t impressed. Thankfully, I always had good reflexes.

I did a quick flip and dodged the flying dagger, only to see another one coming straight for my head. I effortlessly landed on my back, cushioning my fall with my hand as the dagger missed my nose by a centimeter. Another dagger flew directly at me, and I spun around, getting lower to the ground as the dagger passed by, landing an inch away from me. Another dagger flew at me and used my arms and legs to jump back to my feet and over the dagger. 1

A final dagger came spinning directly at me; this throw was sloppy, and I knew it was because he was losing his focus. I squinted at the fast dagger and timed it perfectly; spun my foot around and kicked the handle, so the dagger flew in the opposite direction.

Panic set in when I realized what I had done and just as I was about to scream for Matt to watch out, he dodged to the ground, missing the dagger only by a second.

Relief flooded me and I let out the breath I had been holding inside of myself.

“How did you do that??” Matt asked as he stood up, brushing the dirt off his clothes.

I also brushed the dirt off my clothes, and I shrugged.
