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.

"Watch how you speak about her, Mother," Gavin said, a dangerous edge to his voice. "Don't forget whose property this really is. Judy is here as my guest, and you'll show her respect."

She pressed her lips together until they were nothing more than a thin line.

"So, that's how this is going to be?" She asked, narrowing her eyes at her son. "You are threatening me for her now? Are you seriously trading a Baldwin for this?"

It was reassuring in a way to know that he was still present with me, despite speaking about the past with his mother.
