Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 20

Chapter 0020

Judy’s POV

My mother was smiling for the first time since my father was taken away by pack Gammas.

“Oh, Judy. Good, you’re home. Look who came to visit with us,” my mother said, a smile beaming on her face as she looked at Ethan. “He told me that he’d be able to help us if you are cooperative with him.”

She had a questioning look in her eyes when she looked back at me. I had told her that Ethan refused to help, but now he was making it seem like I was being uncooperative owards his demands and that was the reason he refused to help. I could tell he didn’t tell her what those demands were, and I wasn’t going to tell her either.

It would only break her heart further and I didn’t have it in me right now. I was exhausted after the day I had, and I just wanted to go to bed. The last thing I wanted right now was to deal with Ethan.

I folded my arms across my chest and glared at Ethan who had a smug smile on his face.

“What’s he doing here, Mom?” I asked her

She frowned at me.

“Is that any way to speak?” She asked, her brows pinching together. “I raised you better than that, Judy. Ethan has been a friend of this family for a long time. He’s your mate he’s also offering to help us during our time of need. You should show him more respect,”

I pressed my lips together in a thin line.

“Do I need to remind you that we broke up?” I asked, still staring at Ethan, but I was also speaking to my mother.

I needed them both to be clear that Ethan and I were no longer together and if my mother was hoping for any reconciliation, then she was out of luck because that wasn’t happening

“That doesn’t mean you can’t still be friends,” she replied. “He is in the running to be our new Alpha. Regardless, he deserves our respect.”

Ethan stood to his feet, and I instinctively took a step back, wanting to gain as much distance between us as possible. My wolf had been quiet since we saw him at Gavin’s villa with Irene and I worried something might be seriously wrong with her. She hasn’t blocked me since the day Ethan rejected us.

“I apologize for intruding,” Ethan said, keeping that plastered smile on his lips as he looked at me. I knew it was only a show for my mother because I could hear the bitterness directed towards me in his tone. “I was hoping for a moment of your time.”

“In your dreams, Ethan,” I said and then I turned my back to him and stormed out of the living room. I wasn’t going to give him the time of day.

I wrapped my arms around my body as I made my way up the stairs. Just as I reached the door and opened it,

a hand on my lower back, shoving me the rest of the way into my room, and then the door shut.

I whipped around to face Ethan who was staring at me with his arms folded across his chest.

What the hell are you doing in here, Ethan?” I sneered.
