Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 50

Chapter 0050

Judy’s POV

All three of them stared at me. Irene and Matt with smiles on their faces and Gavin with a frown.

I stood in front of them with my eyes wide and my heart thuddling violently in my chest. I wasn’t sure what to say as an excuse to get out of this. There was no way I was going to have dinner with Gavin and his family.

“I really should go.” I managed to sputter, pointing over my shoulder at the door and giving an awkward and desperate–sounding laugh.

“Please, Judy,” Matt pleaded, grabbing onto my arm. “I really want you to stay.”

“It would be nice to have another woman at the table,” Irene agreed, a flicker of hope in her eyes.

She truly was desperate for friends, and she would get them any way that she could. I glanced up at Gavin, hoping that he would say something to help me out here. But he just sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. He glanced at Irene and then at Matt before he turned towards the maid who had walked in upon his command.

“Set an extra plate for Miss Montague,” he ordered.

My entire heart fell deep into my stomach

“Yes, Alpha,” the maid said, bowing her head in respect and quickly hurrying towards the kitchen.

Gavin then turned to look at me, his eyes hard and his face expressionless. I stared at him in disbelief. I couldn’t believe he just did that. It was clear from his expression that he didn’t want me to stay, so why was he forcing me?

I wanted to ask him, but I didn’t want to make a scene in front of Matt; he was jumping up and down excitedly because I was joining them for dinner, and I didn’t want to burst his little bubble. That was probably what Gavin was thinking too; from what I heard, Matt being happy and excited about something was a rarity. I would hate myself if I was the reason that smile got wiped from his face.

“This is so exciting,” Irene said, clapping her hands together. “Come on, Matt. Let’s get ready for dinner.”

Matt nodded and went with Irene toward the kitchen, leaving me alone with Gavin. I immediately turned and glared up at him, my lips pressed in a thin line and my eyes harrowed. He pretended he didn’t notice; he looked everywhere but me and that only made me even more mad.

“What was that?” I asked him, putting my hands on my hips as I continued to stare at him.

“What was what?” He asked, playing dumb.

I rolled my eyes at the act.

“Why would you ask the maid to set an extra plate for me?” I asked, exasperated.
