He paused and turned to look at me, his hand still wrapped around my wrist. Not enough to hurt, but enough to make me realize he had no intentions of letting me go anytime soon.
“Watch duty,” he murmured. “You are coming with me.”
“I thought I was on Levi’s team,” I said, my tone coming out breathy and unfamiliar. I hated the effect he had on me; having him with me on this watch duty was probably the worst idea ever.
Especially alone…
“That’s never been the plan.”
I swallowed the lump in my throat as I stared up at him. I wasn’t sure what to say at that moment, so I remained silent as he continued to pull me towards the forest opening.
Soon, we were engulfed by the woods; it was much darker than it had been a moment ago, and truth be told, I wasn’t entirely sure where we were going. But soon, he stopped walking, and his shoulders seemed to relax some.
He finally released my wrist, and I pulled back slightly so I could look up at him. He wasn’t looking at me; instead, he was leaning against a tree with his hands buried in his pockets and his right foot resting on the trunk of the tree.
Anger flared inside of me for both his recklessness and for standing me up.
“Are you going to pretend like you didn’t just drag me away like some kind of caveman?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest. “What the hell was that about? What if they get the wrong idea!”
He stared at me, his eyes darkening.
“I’m only here to monitor you during your watch duty. You should probably get to work,” he murmured, looking away from me, his face shining with disinterest.
His words were like a stab in the chest.
I knew arguing with him would be pointless, so I decided to get to work on my watch duties. I had seen gammas do this before; they set themselves up high so they can get a good look at their surroundings.
The same tree Gavin was leaning against, I decided to climb to the top until I found a thick enough branch.
I remained perched on the branch, keeping my eyes out on my surroundings area, wondering where everyone else was stationed. I wasn’t really expecting anything to happen here tonight, but I was determined to make sure I nailed this job.
We remained silent for several hours, the silence stretching out and consuming us. I stared down at him continuously throughout the night, and he remained quietly against the tree.

The readers' comments on the novel: Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law
Chapter 340 It seems that the author has not finished this story. She did this post about it last spring or summer....
Ch.-22. She needs to get a backbone. She should've screamed for her Mom when he was assaulting her and when he answered his phone with Irene on the phone, she should've screamed out "Ethan get out of my room, your engaged "!!...
Ch.17-I hope Gavin is secretly doing something to expose Ethan to Irene because if not, he's not looking like a very, good father to allow Ethan to date his daughter while knowing that Ethan's flat out lying and keeping stuff from Irene. Also, does Irene not know that he was mated before? I mean, Judy keeps mentioning that her mark on her neck is still there and will be until Ethan marks another. Does he not have a mark? If he does what did he tell Irene? Maybe I'll get my answers soon. So far I have enjoyed reading this novel....
This story is unreadable now that the screenshots won’t load...
these updates always have only half of the original chapters. Its quite frustrating coz I always have to go find the rest of the chapter on one of the reading apps. For instance, this chapter doesnt show the part at the end where "Tabby tells Judy that she always found Sammy weird during the competition, always disappearing for weird phonecalls, how she's in contact with all Gavin's enemies. How the 3 of them decided to investigate her and found tham Sammy's home life has wiped out on all platforms and had lied about a boyfriend that does not exist." Thats so much important parts of the book that we just miss out on...
Anyone know why didn’t see the text on print? I can see just question mark. :(...
I have really enjoyed this book, looking forward to more chapters!...
Can we get updates when a new chapter is up?...
You said gavins mum and Judy haven’t met but they did around the time of the ball and then said at the restaurant that they just met and when she met her previously she wasn’t mean just interfering...
Hi there when will more chapters be released waiting for new chapters is excruciating.......
