Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 773

Judy’s POV

The look on Irene’s face was heartbreaking. It was clear that she was trying so hard not to cry. I wanted to wrap her in my arms and hug her, but I also didn’t want to make a scene when she was trying hard to be casual. She kept looking out the window, like she expected Chuck to just show up, but I knew he wasn’t going to. I overheard one of the gammas saying there was a retreat this evening and that most were attending. I assumed that meant Chuck as well, though some did stay behind for security purposes.

“She could smell like him for any reason,” I tried to reassure her. “Maybe they are friends. They could have passed by each other, and she could still carry some of his scent from just their arms touching.”

She shook her head, her eyes averted from me.

“The scene is stronger than that,” she said softly. “Much stronger.”

“Maybe a relative?” I said, trying to come up with a logical explanation. “You know that when you are related to someone, sharing the same blood, you can carry a similar or even the same scent.”

Though Chuck had said he didn’t really have any family.

She narrowed her eyes at me, and I could see the look of disbelief on her face as she stared at me.

“You, out of everyone, should know that we can tell the difference,” she said, shaking her head at my words.

My cheeks flushed; she was right. I knew that we could tell the difference. I let out a breath, not sure what more to say.

“Hey, what’s going on?” Nan asked as she approached. “We are about to head to our rooms. I’m excited to see what mine looks like. Erik went with the other gammas to bring our things to our rooms before they head to theirs. We are just waiting for you two before we follow them up.”

I glanced behind her to see that Gavin, Chester, Taylor, and Eliza were indeed waiting. Gavin was staring at me with a worried expression on his face. His eyes flickered to his daughter and then back at me. I knew from the look on his face and his subtle expression that he was silently asking me if she was okay.

I gave him a quick nod and then gestured with my hand to give us a moment. I turned back to Irene.

“Are you going to be okay?” I asked her. “Truly?”

“I don’t know,” she admitted, nibbling on her lower lip. “It’s just too much. I’m not sure if this is a good idea after all.”

“Wait, what’s going on?” Nan asked with a frown, staring between the two of us.

“That woman over there… at the check-in desk… she smells like Chuck. Like strongly. Like they’ve been together,” Irene murmured, making Nan’s eyes grow wide.
