Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 192

Chapter 0193

“Yes,” I whispered hoarsely.

“Good luck and remember, take a deep breath and don’t jump to conclusions. Let him explain first before you go off. Update me on everything tomorrow

“I will,” I assured her and then I hung up the phone.

I put the phone on the nightstand and plugged it into the charger before turning to look at him. He still remained at the doorway, studying me with a frown.

“Irene said you were unwell,” he told me. “You were fine this morning!

I nodded and wiped my checks again, hoping he didn’t notice how blotchy my face was and the tears that were still in my eyes. I hated how weak I was in front of him, but I couldn’t help myself.

“Yeah, I was just a little under the weather,” I lied. “I think I might have eaten something bad.

“Was it whatever Chester made you?” He asked through his teeth. “I’ll fire him and-”

“No!” I said quickly. “Don’t fire him; he didn’t do anything. It was something I ate at school. Nothing more.”

He looked almost disappointed; I knew he kind of wanted to fire Chester because he rubbed Gavin the wrong way, but I wasn’t going to let him. I liked Chester; he was funny, and he made being here less lonely. Between him and Harper, I felt like I belonged around here.

At least I did until I spotted Skyla and Gavin together. That sick feeling returned to my belly and stared down at my lap, willing my tears away before they slipped down my cheeks.

“How was your date?” I murmured, unable to hide the bitterness in my tone.

“It wasn’t a date,” he said immediately. “It was a casual dinner. Chanse thought it would be good if I took her to dinner and-” his voice trailed off. “Wait, didn’t say anything about it in the text. How did you know?”

1 bit my lip as my cheeks burned with embarrassment had nothing to be embarrassed about though; I didn’t ask Irene to send me a photo of Gavin and Skyla leaving. She captioned it, “My father going on his first real date in years! Don’t they look beautiful together?

I felt sick to my stomach, and I have been crying ever since. I hated the effect it had on me, but I couldn’t help myself. They did look great together; Skyla in her shimmering red dress, pressed herself up against Gavin who was dressed in a nice suit. He was dressed in something more casual now and I wondered if Skyla helped him take off his suit.

“Irene sent me a picture,” I admitted. “She wanted me to see how lovely the two of you!

were together.”

I looked up at him and saw that his eyes were dark with rage. I shuddered at the sight of him and swallowed the lump in my throat.

“I’ll have a conversation with her about that,” he muttered. “But it wasn’t a date.”
