Chapter 0054
Judy’s POV
The house was quiet when I returned home after having dinner at Gavin’s house. It was always quiet these days.
The house felt so empty with my mother hiding away in her room, not a sound to be made. I put my coat on the hook and made my way upstairs. I paused outside of her bedroom door which was down the hall from
my room. There was no light on, and I wasn’t even sure if she would be awake, but I needed to see her. I needed to make sure that she was alright.
I grabbed the door handle and twisted it, pushing the door open gently. The door creaked as it moved, and I winced at how dark and smelly it was. It was clear she hadn’t moved from the bed in a long while.
Taking a deep breath, I turned on the light in her dark room and stepped inside.
“Mom?” I asked, looking around the mess of a room. My eyes landed on her form on the bed and my chest tightened even more.
Panic seized me as I ran towards her bed, not knowing if she was breathing or not. I put my hand on her back and felt for any sign of movement, indicating that she was in fact breathing. When my hand rose and fell, I sighed out of relief.
“Mom?” I said again, this time giving her a gentle shake. “Have you eaten anything at all today?”
I already knew the answer because the food I made for her this morning remained untouched on her nightstand.
She lifted her head and her eyes, unfocused, looked at me.
“Oh, hey, Judy,” she said sleepily. “When did you get here?”
“A little while ago,” I told her. “I’m worried about you. You haven’t left your room in days and the food that I’ve been leaving you every morning and night has been untouched. I need you to get out of bed and eat something.”
“I’m not very hungry,” she murmured as she rested her head back on her pillow.
I sighed, running my fingers through my hair.
“You need to eat something, Mom. Dad wouldn’t want this for you,” I told her. She flinched at my mention of my father. “I went to see him earlier today!”
She raised her gaze to meet mine once again.
“You saw your father?” She asked.
I nodded.
“He’s doing well,” I lied; I couldn’t tell her that when
saw him, he was beaten black and blue. I couldn’t
Tell her about the sadness and fear hidden in his eyes. Please come downstairs with me and eat something…”
I whipped around and gasped when Ethan walked in, shutting the door behind him.
“What is wrong with you? Get up,” he ordered, forcing me away from the orange juice. I didn’t have enough strength to fight him or tell him off. I scurried away from the juice, as he grabbed some napkins and got to work cleaning my mess. I wiped at the tears still lingering in my eyes and watched in silence as he finished cleaning the floor.
He stood to his feet and poured the glass of orange juice before putting the bottle back in the fridge.
He offered me his hand, which I hesitantly took, and then he pulled me to my feet.
“What are you doing here, Ethan?” I asked him, folding my arms across my chest.
“Saving you apparently. What are you doing on the floor?”
“I spilled some juice, and I was cleaning it,” I murmured; he could see through my lie right away though.

The readers' comments on the novel: Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law
Anyone have suggestions for other books like this that are captivating for me to read while I wait for more chapters etc?...
Despite everyone's frustrations with this book, I think it's quite entertaining. I think Gavin and Judy have a long road ahead of them. If/when they're able to finally get on the same page, they still have to deal with his mom. Not to mention Judy has to reconcile with Matthew after abandoning him when she promised she wouldn't; and face Irene with the news that she's carrying a new sibling. Lol, Levi is the least of their concerns. Then there's having the baby. Pretty sure Gavin has untreated trauma associated with Irene's birth. My thoughts are, just be patient, find other books to read in between and enjoy the ride. I think it'll be good....
Anyone Know where we Can Read all of this book 2 chapters a day is a joke And waiting is killing me I’ll just want to end this book !!...
I never really read these books, but came across this one and annoyingly got hooked. Do these books just go on forever with no resolution? As if so, I’m going to call it a day and write my own ending lol...
Lovely… I just found this book Friday and I’ve finished all that here. How often do they release more and how much at a time?! I’m invested....
So Spencer was “in love” before he even meet her? I used to wake up and read this book but now I let days go past before I read the chapters...
Well heres to the next 300 pages of this never ending story because now Gavin is going to have to save her before Spencer does something even more stupid because Judy is to weak to do anything for herself apparently....
3 chapters we didn't need. Already guessed Spencer was working with Levi and that the attacks were also Levi...
I think of all the things that bother me the most about the rushed writing is the inconsistencies. Judy and Nans room number was initially 606 when they checked in at the island resort for the Gamma Competition, but then was suddemly 906 - which turned out to be needed information later. When they first met, Judy went to Gavin's office the next day and told him about her father's imprisonment and her need for money, but then later the author made it sound like Gavin had no idea. She won 5 million for takimg first in the competition but then it was eluded to her not have much money and needed cash from the additional tutoring job with Lukas and the position in Levi's elite force. Honestly, the wishy-washy writing makes it feel like Gavin is less of a strong leader and more like he has so much personal drama he cant keep anything straight. It feels like Judy is weaker than the author has intended, as well. I feel like Rachel's return could have been tightened up with more details around her time Gavin instead of making Judy out to be a bit pathetic and desperate for just a sliver of Gavins attention. Her pregnancy was also disappointing because of the rushed plot, the author seemed to have forgotten that Judy gave her virginity to Gavin and no other sexual partners were introduced for her - so who the father of her baby was shouldn't have felt like such a surprise - it felt a bit insulting to her vibe and the character build throughout the hundreds of unnecessary chapters. I believe if the author spent a little more time and cleaned up some of the events with pertinent and necessary details and remove the oddities of over-the-top pieces (like the shower gel and cologne that appeared out of nowhere for Gavin in Judy's condo) this storyline could really be something great and intriguing for readers....
