Chapter 0142
Third Person POV
The look Ethan had on his face when Judy left the party with her father did not go unnoticed by Irene. There was a look of longing; almost like he was a lost child, and it made Irene’s heart ache. She bit her bottom lip, refusing to cry in front of Ethan’s family. She had already made a good impression on them and didn’t want to ruin it.
“Irene, darling, don’t let that awful woman bother you,” Meredith said, giving her a gentle smile.” She’s just a nobody.”
“Yeah, my brother loves you. The thought of him being with her again makes me sick,” Kelsey muttered, folding her arms across her chest.
Something she had said struck Irene’s interest and she narrowed her eyes at her future sister–in–law.
“What did you just say?” Irene asked, her heart weighing heavier in her chest.
Kelsey glanced up at her with a frown.
“Which part?” she asked.
“You said the thought of them being together again makes you sick. What do you mean by again?”
Kelsey opened her mouth to reply, but her mother stopped her. She grabbed Kelsey’s arm and squeezed it tightly, making her whimper in distress.
“She didn’t mean anything by it. It was a slip of the tongue,” Meredith said with an obnoxiously loud laugh. “She must be exhausted,” she added, giving Kelsey a pointed look.
Kelsey’s cheeks flushed and then she nodded.
“Yes, I didn’t mean anything by it,” she murmured, glancing at Irene apologetically.
Irene, however, was not convinced.
She glanced across the yard at Ethan who was still staring longingly in the direction Judy had left. She pressed her lips in a thin line and turned to face Ethan’s mother and sister.
“It was very nice to meet you ladies. I hope we can get to know one another even more soon. Perhaps we can have brunch?” Irene suggested.
Meredith and Kelsey both lit up.
“Yes, we would love that,” Meredith answered for the both of them.
“Excellent, I’ll get your contact numbers from Ethan, and we can go from there. Perhaps we can meet at the Silver Crescent Country Club later this week or next week,” Irene said. “If you’ll excuse me, I should be going.”
He guided her into the manor and up the winding stairs until they reached his bedroom. She had never been in this room before and she wasn’t sure what to expect. She only ever spent the night in his house, never in his family’s manor.
She was surprised to see that his room was very boyish; it was clear that this was his childhood room. Hé had trophies on his shelves and video game posters. I honestly warmed her heart a little and made a smile tug at the corner of her lips.
If only she wasn’t so upset with him, she might indulge the setting a little.
“I have to get back to my family. You can rest here, and I’ll come back later,” he told her.
She nodded, wrapping her arms around her body as she watched him leave the room. Her stomach tightened once she was finally alone. She sat on the bed, glancing around at all the stuff. It was a typical boy room, not many personal pictures but he did notice a picture on his nightstand that looked as if someone was cut out of the frame. She frowned as she stared at the picture; Ethan was standing beside someone, but the other person wasn’t there.
Her brows furrowed as she ran her fingers down the frame. Whoever was in this photo seemed to be cut out of his life. Could it have been Judy?
The words of Kelsey continued to play in her mind; it almost seemed as if Ethan and Judy had a previous relationship, but they had both told her that they only knew of one another because they’ve been a part of the same pack for most of their lives. Why would they lie to her?
Ethan was supposed to be someone she trusted most, and Judy was someone she considered a friend. But when she saw them pressed against a tree yesterday… her entire world shattered. She could still feel the crack in her heart from the betrayal she felt.

The readers' comments on the novel: Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law
Anyone have suggestions for other books like this that are captivating for me to read while I wait for more chapters etc?...
Despite everyone's frustrations with this book, I think it's quite entertaining. I think Gavin and Judy have a long road ahead of them. If/when they're able to finally get on the same page, they still have to deal with his mom. Not to mention Judy has to reconcile with Matthew after abandoning him when she promised she wouldn't; and face Irene with the news that she's carrying a new sibling. Lol, Levi is the least of their concerns. Then there's having the baby. Pretty sure Gavin has untreated trauma associated with Irene's birth. My thoughts are, just be patient, find other books to read in between and enjoy the ride. I think it'll be good....
Anyone Know where we Can Read all of this book 2 chapters a day is a joke And waiting is killing me I’ll just want to end this book !!...
I never really read these books, but came across this one and annoyingly got hooked. Do these books just go on forever with no resolution? As if so, I’m going to call it a day and write my own ending lol...
Lovely… I just found this book Friday and I’ve finished all that here. How often do they release more and how much at a time?! I’m invested....
So Spencer was “in love” before he even meet her? I used to wake up and read this book but now I let days go past before I read the chapters...
Well heres to the next 300 pages of this never ending story because now Gavin is going to have to save her before Spencer does something even more stupid because Judy is to weak to do anything for herself apparently....
3 chapters we didn't need. Already guessed Spencer was working with Levi and that the attacks were also Levi...
I think of all the things that bother me the most about the rushed writing is the inconsistencies. Judy and Nans room number was initially 606 when they checked in at the island resort for the Gamma Competition, but then was suddemly 906 - which turned out to be needed information later. When they first met, Judy went to Gavin's office the next day and told him about her father's imprisonment and her need for money, but then later the author made it sound like Gavin had no idea. She won 5 million for takimg first in the competition but then it was eluded to her not have much money and needed cash from the additional tutoring job with Lukas and the position in Levi's elite force. Honestly, the wishy-washy writing makes it feel like Gavin is less of a strong leader and more like he has so much personal drama he cant keep anything straight. It feels like Judy is weaker than the author has intended, as well. I feel like Rachel's return could have been tightened up with more details around her time Gavin instead of making Judy out to be a bit pathetic and desperate for just a sliver of Gavins attention. Her pregnancy was also disappointing because of the rushed plot, the author seemed to have forgotten that Judy gave her virginity to Gavin and no other sexual partners were introduced for her - so who the father of her baby was shouldn't have felt like such a surprise - it felt a bit insulting to her vibe and the character build throughout the hundreds of unnecessary chapters. I believe if the author spent a little more time and cleaned up some of the events with pertinent and necessary details and remove the oddities of over-the-top pieces (like the shower gel and cologne that appeared out of nowhere for Gavin in Judy's condo) this storyline could really be something great and intriguing for readers....
