Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 364

Judy’s POV

“Gavin…” I gasped, not prepared for the overwhelming feeling of his body pressing against mine in the dark of the hotel suite. “Where’s Nan and Chester?”

“I sent them away so we could have a little chat,” he said, his tone lethal. “Did you really think you could keep this from me? Even if I didn’t overhear you, I would have found out one way or another.”

I swallowed the lump in my throat, his close proximity making me weak-kneed.

“I had it handled…” I told him, trying to sound confident, but failing miserably.

“Handled?” He nearly laughed without humor. “Then why is your father still in prison?”

“I’ve been paying off his debt…” I said softly. “But they keep piling on more interest… we couldn’t even afford a lawyer, and all the ones appointed to him are corrupted by the Cash family.”

“You know what could have helped you in that situation?” He asked, his eyes narrowed to slits. “Telling a goddamn Lycan.”

I flinched at the harsh tone he used. He finally pushed off the wall to create some distance between us, but the distance seemed almost cold. He turned his back on me, and I watched him brush his fingers through his hair.

“Do you know what’s even worse?” Gavin asked, breaking through the silence that started to consume us. “You allowed him into our lives… you allowed me to allow him to marry my daughter.”

“But he didn’t—”

“But he would have!” Gavin growled, whipping around to face me. “He would have married Irene and then what? Break her heart worse than he already has? Hurt her physically and mentally? Drained her of everything she’s worth and then came after me?”
