Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

Nan was seated on the couch in the far side of the room and Chester's eyes widened.

"Ladies have a couch in their bathroom?" Chester asked, amazed. He shut the door behind him and locked it so they wouldn't be disturbed.

Nan didn't bother retorting; she stared at her hands thankful that the tears finally stopped flowing so Chester didn't see how broken she was over this whole thing. Little did she know, he could feel it.

He stepped closer to her, wanting to give her space and yet wanting to close the distance between them with a desperation he didn't understand.

"Nan..." he finally said, his tone soft and filled with compassion. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for any of that to happen. She won't be a problem for you anymore, you have my word."

Nan glanced up at him and his heart broke when he saw that her eyes were red with unshed tears.

"She knew so much about you, Chester. You love her—"

"NO," he said quickly as he stepped closer to her. "I've known her for a long time, that's why she knows so much. But I don't, nor have I ever, loved her. She was saying what she believed to be true, but it wasn't how I felt."

"She's never going to leave you alone..." Nan whispered, tears starting to spill down her cheeks.

He sat down on the couch beside her and took her face in his hands, wiping away the tears with his thumbs.

"You have my word, Nan. She won't be a problem anymore. I'm so sorry our first date was ruined. I'm sorry this happened. But I promise you, it won't happen again. Please, don't hate me..."
