Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 649

Judy’s POV

I parted my lips to speak, but before I could, Gavin stopped me.

“You have a speech to make,” he told me, gesturing towards the stage. I looked at the stage where Dean Rivers was waiting, a smile on her face as she watched me. I turned back to Gavin, feeling a flurry of butterflies in my chest.

“I don’t have my speech with me, and this happened so fast, I don’t have the time to reprepare for it,” I admitted.

“Don’t worry about that,” Nan said, stepping beside me. She had a piece of paper in her hands, and she handed it to me with a grin. “I have your speech right here.”

I looked at it and then back at her face.

“You knew about all of this?” I asked her.

She shrugged.

“Of course I did,” she told me, nudging my shoulder. “Who do you think helped him make all the phone calls to all our classmates. Once I explained things to them, they were more than happy to help.”

Tears brimmed the corners of my eyes; I cut her out like I cut everyone else in my life out. I ignored her calls and texts when I reached Redcliff, and I felt so guilty about it. Now, here she was, helping make this day absolutely perfect, and there were no words that could describe how much that meant to me.

I stepped closer to her and wrapped her in my arms, hugging her tightly as tears fell from my eyes.

“I’m so sorry, Nan,” I whispered.

This woman got engaged and adopted a baby in the last 3 weeks, and I wasn’t there for her. She didn’t even tell me this news herself like she wanted, and my heart ached at what she must have been going through… what I wasn’t there for.

“We’ll talk about it later,” she whispered back, hugging me just as tightly. “This day is for you, Judy. Enjoy it. It’s how it should have been all along.”

I pulled back, hating that I was crying in front of everybody, but from the compassionate looks I was getting, I don’t think anybody really cared.

I felt Gavin’s warm hand on my back, and I turned to look up at him.

“I should have been here the first time, and I wasn’t,” he told me softly. “So, this is my way of turning back time.”

I bit my lip to keep from smiling like a dummy.

“It’s perfect,” I whispered brokenly.

“Judy Montague,” Dean Rivers spoke through the mic. “We are waiting for you. You have a speech for us.”
