Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 565

“I need to see Rachel Barron,” I found myself saying to the front desk nurse.

She typed something on her computer and then glanced up at me.

“She’s in room 303. You can use the elevator and go to the right.”

I nodded my thanks, no longer trusting my voice. I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea for me to do this alone; I didn’t tell Nan that I was coming here, and I certainly didn’t tell Irene.

I stepped into the elevator and waited with bated breath for the doors to open back up. Once I was on the upper level, I stayed to the right, just as instructed, and found door 303. Through the small window, I saw that Rachel was awake. She was scrolling through her phone with a small smile on her face.

Taking a deep breath, I stepped into the room, shutting the door behind me. Rachel looked up, and her eyes widened when she saw me standing in the entrance.

“Judy?” She asked.

“Hi…” I said, my voice coming out breathless.

She placed her phone on the bedside table, her eyes never leaving mine.

“Gotta say, I’m surprised you’re here. If you’re looking for Gavin—”

“I’m actually here to speak to you,” I told her quickly.

“I see,” she said, raising her brows.

She glanced at the chair at her bedside.

“Please,” she said. “Have a seat.”

With a shaky breath, I stepped closer towards her bed and took a seat, my legs barely allowing me to walk as I did so.

Rachel plastered a smile, though I could tell it wasn’t genuine.

“What honor do I have for this little visit?”

“The news article…” I began, my voice coming out barely above a whisper. “Is it true?”

Rachel’s grin grew wider when she saw my face. I couldn’t speak; I couldn’t even move. I needed to leave. I turned away from her before she could see the tears burning in my eyes.

“Congratulations,” I managed to whisper before I ran from the room.

By the time I was outside, I was clutching my phone to my ear like it was my lifeline. I didn’t trust my voice, so I prayed to the Moon Goddess that it didn’t break while I spoke.

I waited with bated breath as the phone rang, praying that the other person would answer.

“Hello?” Said a male voice on the other end.

I was quiet for a moment, my heart racing in my chest. I had no idea what I was going to say; I had no idea how to approach this.

“Miss Montague?” He asked, having my number in his phone so he could see it was me calling.

“Hey,” I managed to croak before clearing my throat and trying again. “I want to take you up on your Alpha's offer, Beta Ron. How soon can you get me out of here?”
