Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 813

Judy’s POV

Irene was still seated in the ballroom when I returned; only this time, she was sipping on her tea and looking much calmer. When she saw me, her expression softened a bit, and I could see the apology in her eyes.

“Where’s Selene Blackwell?” She asked, glancing behind me at the doorway with a slight frown.

“She had to go,” I told her with a shrug. “I let her off the hook.”

Irene nodded, though she looked uncertain. I decided not to tell her about Selene’s offer to teach me Etiquette on her own time tomorrow. I would have to come up with an excuse as to why I couldn’t be here tomorrow, so Irene doesn’t feel bad that I’m choosing to learn from someone else over her. It’s not that I don’t find her capable or that I don’t trust her, but something tells me I need to go to the Blackwell manor tomorrow so I can find out the truth about what is going on.

I know that I will find the answers to questions I didn’t even know I was asking.

She set her tea aside and stood up.

“I’m so sorry, Judy. I didn’t mean to be rude earlier…”

I shook my head.

“It’s okay, I understand,” I told her quickly. “You’re going through a lot.”

“It’s still no excuse,” she said, nibbling on her lower lip. “It’s just that… with everything going on—”

Before she could finish that sentence, I had her wrapped in a hug.

“Don’t even worry about it, Irene,” I told her softly, tightening my hold on her. “It’s okay. I know you’re hurting. I’m here if you want to talk about it.”

She was quiet, and I could hear her body relaxing as I held her.

“Do you want to talk about it?” I asked her, pulling away so I could look her in the face.

I could see the tears swirling in her eyes, and it broke my heart completely.
