Chapter 0165
Judy’s POV
+25 BONUS
I was about to protest that I couldn’t just leave with him without others being suspicious. But before I could utter a single word, there was a knock on the door. My entire body tensed, and I felt my cheeks burning hot. Gavin didn’t seem to be as worried because he backed away from me and then he winked. It made my checks burn even more and I wanted to jump in front of him to keep him from opening that door, but it was too late.
He swung open the door, and my mother stood on the other side with wide eyes. She stared up at Gavin, her body trembling before her eyes found mine.
“Judy, sweetie,” she breathed as she brushed past Gavin and entered the bathroom. “Are you okay? What happened to you?”
“It’s okay,” I rushed out, not wanting her to worry. ” okay. Gavin patched me up. I’m good as new.” I showed her my hand and she cradled it gently, tears filling her eyes. I knew my mother was aware of what was going on with me, but she was pretending that everything was okay, acting as if she wasn’t seeing or hearing things through the grapevines. I couldn’t blame her; she was only doing all of this for my father. She wanted him out of prison desperately and she would do anything to make that happen.
At one point, I would have done the same thing for Ethan.
“I’m so sorry,” she whispered.
“It’s honestly okay, Mom,” I reassured her. “It was only an accident. It happens.”
I hated lying to her, but I didn’t know what else to say to make her feel better. Gavin’s eyes darkened because he knew it was a lie; he saw what had happened and he was furious on my behalf. I gave him a slight head shake as my mother threw her arms around me to hug me; I didn’t want him to reveal my lie.
He sighed and folded his arms across his chest.
“I have a separate mansion in my pack,” Gavin went on to say as my mother untangled herself from my arms. “It’s fully staffed and I’m only there when I have business at the Northern Border. I want you both to live there. There are no stipulations.”
My mother’s eyes widened as she stared up at him; I was at a loss for words. He was offering my mother a way out as well. My heart swelled and tears filled my eyes.
I expected my mother to jump at the opportunity right away, but when she said nothing, my heart began to grow heavy as I stared at her concerned face.
“Alpha, would you mind if I spoke to my daughter alone?” She asked him.
He looked a bit taken aback as well as he met my eyes; was just as confused. But he soon nodded.
“Of course,” he told her. “Take all the time you need.”
He gave me one last look before he turned and walked out of the bathroom. Hooked at my mother and she turned to me with a sad smile.
Chapter 0165
“Mom, what’s going on?” I asked her.
“Because then we won’t have the Cash family to help us,” she murmured. “They offered me money to do some housework for them. I get to live in one of their pristine guest rooms and eat with the family, but I’ve been given basic chores. In return, they will give me a large sum of money that’ll help pay off your father’s debt.”
I raised my eyebrows.
“They want you to be a maid?” I asked her, my lips pressing in a thin line. I’ve seen firsthand how they treat their servants, and I didn’t want my mother to be a part of that. My stomach twisted at the very thought, and I suddenly wasn’t feeling too well.
“Not exactly,” she told me. “It’s different because they still treat me like an old friend and a part of their family.”
I shook my head, tears filling my eyes.
“Mom, you can’t be serious. Please, Alpha Landry is giving us a way out of here….
“Is he offering to pay your father’s debt?” She asked. Have you asked him?”
I swallowed the lump in my throat; I hadn’t exactly told him about my father’s debt. Of course, he knew I was desperate for money from all those times I’ve tried to seduce him before truly getting to know him …but I never told him of my family issues. I was a bit embarrassed about it if I were to be honest and I truly didn’t want him to know about it.

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....
