Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

"You should have seen the look on my ex's face when I told him I was leaving," Sammy said, shaking her head after her second glass of wine. "I thought he was going to start crying."

"Has he tried calling you?" Nan asked.

Sammy shrugged.

"I blocked his number so who knows."

We all chuckled.

"What about you, Nan?" I asked her curiously. "How's you and Chester ever since your first date disaster?"

She smiled, a small blush creeping along her nose and cheeks.

"We've been good these last couple of days," she admitted, nibbling on her lower lip. “He's been really great... tentative. I haven't seen him flirting with anyone... I think this could actually work."

I felt relieved hearing her say that; I knew Chester could man up and get his head out of his ass if he really wanted to.

"I'm glad to hear that," I tell her, resting my head on her shoulder as I grab another mozzarella stick off the plate. "You two are going to make beautiful food together,” I tease, a little wine tipsy."

She chuckled, taking another long sip of her wine before pouring another glassful.

"Yeah, I think so too. He wants to help me with my cooking endeavor," she explains. "Which is awesome. I never had anyone who wanted to help me like that before. But Chester is different. He's been through all this already, so he knows what needs to be done."

I nodded.

He was supposed to be my match made in my heaven, but it turned out he was just a manipulative asshole who
