Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 126

Chapter 0126

1 flushed from his words; I didn’t take him for someone who would care about such a thing, especially not when it came to me..

“You shouldn’t be too hard on him. He’s your nephew…”

“Which makes it worse,” Gavin muttered. “He’s family and my family never raise their hand to women. It can’t go without punishment.”

I knew there was no changing his mind on this; I bit the inside of my cheek and stared down at my hands.

“He asked me to be his girlfriend,” I whispered, making Gavin tense from beside me. “And I said no. He was angry with me… he said some pretty cruel things.

“Why did you decline his offer?”

He didn’t sound accusatory, more just curious like he was trying to keep the conversation going. My heart swelled a little more thinking that maybe he did care for me… at least a little bit.

“I didn’t feel the same way about him,” I admitted. “I didn’t want to hurt him… but I didn’t like him in the same way that he liked me.”

Gavin nodded, his expression softening.

“And he got angry,” he said softly; it wasn’t a question, but I nodded anyway.

“Yes,” I confirmed. “He got angry.”

Gavin wrapped an arm around me and pulled me into his side, wrapping me with his warmth and comfort. I felt my body relaxing almost immediately and my heart eased.

“I thought we decided that the other night was a mistake, and we were going to pretend it never happened,” I blurted before I could stop myself.

“You decided that.”

I raised my brows and looked up at him.

“And that’s not what you wanted?” I asked him.

“I wasn’t really thinking about it,” he admitted.

“And now?”

He was quiet for a moment, at first, I didn’t think he was going to answer my question, but then he let out a shuddering breath.

“And now, I think we should be together.”

My heart stilled in my chest and my jaw all but dropped.

“I’m sorry… what?”
