Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

Judy's POV

Gavin's body tensed at the sound of his mother's words; his hand gripping mine tightly. He turned to look at her; she stood in the archway of the sitting room, her arms folded across her chest. She wore a gorgeous evening gown, making me think she was just heading out. Her hair was perfectly curled and tied up into a bun, and her makeup looked professionally done.

Her perfectly trimmed brows were knitted together as she stared at the two of us, her eyes occasionally drifting to the hand that Gavin was grasping as if his life depended on it.

I wasn't surprised by her rude voice or that I wasn't welcomed into her home. But I was there for Gavin, so I kept my lips clamped shut, hating that my cheeks were growing red.

It made my heart squeeze painfully in my chest, and yet still, he hadn't let go of my hand. It was reassuring in a way to know that he was still present with me, despite speaking about the past with his mother. "Just because Daisy shares the same blood as her doesn't make her remotely close to being my mate. Melissa and Daisy couldn't stand each other, and she would never want me to
