Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 747

Judy’s POV

“Gavin Landry,” Zachary said as he stood, drawing my attention from the old woman and to the mysterious man in front of us… the urban legend himself. “It’s been a long time.”

“It has,” Gavin replied, nodding his head slowly. “I was surprised when I received the invitation to join you and your family for dinner. I hope you don’t mind, I extended the invitation to my mate.”

“Of course not. The more the merrier,” Zachary replied, his eyes finding mine and holding them for a bit too long, giving me an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. “I wasn’t aware you took a mate.”

“It’s fairly new,” Gavin explained, draping an arm around my waist to keep me by his side. I wasn’t going to complain about that.

Zachary’s gaze dropped to my belly for a moment before lifting and meeting my eyes once again.

“Seems that’s not all that’s new,” he said, the corner of his lips lifting slightly. “I suppose congratulations are in order.”

“Thank you,” Gavin replied, tightening his hold on me. “I apologize if we are a bit late. Took longer than expected to get here.” I knew Gavin was trying to steer the conversation away from me and our baby. I was appreciative of that because I wasn’t sure how long I could handle Zachary Blackwell staring at me.

Zachary’s eyes flickered to Gavin.

“You aren’t late at all. Right on time,” he retorted. “Dinner will be served shortly. Please, take a seat.”

He motioned for a couple of empty chairs that sat side by side. Gavin walked along with me towards the chairs, and we both gingerly sat down, feeling more than a little awkward. His hand found mine under the table, and I felt relieved that he wasn’t letting me go. It’s like he knew that I needed his touch to get through this dinner.

Or maybe he needed mine.

“I’m not sure if you met my family, but this is my wife, Selene,” Zachary said, nodding towards the gorgeous woman who sat beside him.

“I’ve heard plenty about you, Alpha,” Selene said, nodding her head slightly. “You are more handsome in person, I must say.”

I felt my wolf growing anxious over her words, and I had to bite back a growl. I had to remind my wolf that now was not the right time or place. Gavin's hand squeezed mine reassuringly, and at that moment, I knew he was tuned into my feelings. I felt my wolf relaxing from his attention.

Gavin didn’t bother responding to her; he just nodded politely.

“And this is my son, Emmet, and daughter Lila,” Zachary continued.

“Charmed,” Lila said, a sly grin spreading across her face. Clearly, she hasn’t told her father that she already knew us and wondered why that was. The poisonous way she stared at us made my chest tighten.
