Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 222

Chapter 0222

Matt looked up at me and a grin spread across his face.

“I wanted to get this done quickly so we can spar outside!” He told me. “I kind of wish we were still at the mansion though. I liked it over there.”

“Your father thinks it’s better if we worked here because of the paparazzi. Until he takes care of it, it’s better if you didn’t go over there,” I told him. I just hoped that they would be cleared by the time it was time for me to go home. The last thing I wanted was the stay here… not with Irene under the same roof. I knew she didn’t like or trust me right now and I didn’t want things to continue being awkward between us. I think spending the night with her father would make things even more awkward.

He nodded thoughtfully and then he grinned again.

“So, are you going to be my mom?”

I nearly choked on my spit as I sat down beside him.

“I’m sorry, what? “I asked him, snapping my eyes in his direction.

He shrugged as if he didn’t just ask me that question so casually.

“I saw the news reports. I don’t live under a rock,” he told me, eyeing me suspiciously and making my cheeks burn even more. “I’m not upset if you are going to be my mom. I would really like it if you were.”

“Oh, Matt…” I said, my heart squeezed in my chest. The last thing I wanted was to disappoint and hurt him, but I certainly didn’t think I was going to marry Gavin. “Maybe we should talk about this later?”

His face fell a little, but he nodded. He wasn’t stupid, he knew I was avoiding the subject. But he was polite enough to not say anything. We continued with his homework and then we spent time sparring in the backyard. Now that the film crew was done, it was nice having the space to ourselves again.

I hadn’t noticed someone else had joined us in the training grounds until Matt’s eyes wandered and then grew large.

“Oh, hello Miss Sinclaire,” Matt said.

I turned and my jaw nearly dropped when I saw Skyla approaching us. She gave Matt a small nod and then her eyes shifted into my direction. My cheeks bumed under her scrutiny.

“H…hello,” I said to her, hating that I stuttered.

“Can we talk for a minute?” She asked me.

My eyes grew large; what could she possibly want to speak to me about? I glanced down at Matt, and he seemed to get the hint because he nodded and quickly went to finish practicing with the bow and arrow. I turned to Skyla, forcing a smile in her direction.

“What’s this about?” I asked her.

“It’s okay,” I reassured her. “It’s not your fault. We were keeping things secret. That’s not on you.

Her face softened and she nodded.

י

“Well, that’s all I wanted to say,” she told me and turned to leave but then she paused for a moment. Oh, and Judy?”

“Yes?”

“Hold onto him tightly,” she told me. “He’s a good man… and he deserves someone who will stick by his side no matter what.”
