Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 855

“Who is it?”

“Esme Blackwell,” he said, shocking me.

My eyes grew wide, and my mouth felt dry.

“Esme Blackwell is here to see me?” I asked, even more confused now. “Alone?”

“Yes, but I won’t let her be alone with you,” Gavin said, his eyes never leaving mine. “Whatever she needs to say to you can be said in front of me.”

I nodded without hesitation, my heart racing in my chest.

“Okay,” I say without thought. “But I’d like to speak with her.”

He nodded, like he already knew I would say that, and it made me smile knowing that he wasn’t going to argue with me about this. He went over to the door and pulled it open. He stepped out into the hallway, and I could hear low murmured voices. And then suddenly, Esme Blackwell was stepping into the room, and Gavin was there beside her, keeping his eyes on her like he was afraid she would try something right in front of him.

“You’re here…” I whispered, disbelief riddling my voice.

Esme nodded.

“I am.”

She was speaking… my heart was practically in my throat.

“Y…you’re talking,” I stammered.

She nodded again.

“I am,” she said again. “There is much we need to discuss, but first… are we safe to speak freely here?”

She was directing her question at Gavin. He nodded without hesitation.

“Yes, it’s safe here. Say what you need to say.”

“The shift?” Gavin asked. “I didn’t feel any shift.”

“Because you were too preoccupied with the fact that your mate was hurt,” Esme explained. “Which is understood… but if her well-being wasn't in question, you would have felt it just as well as the others.”

“Shift or not, I’m not going to let anything happen to Judy or our baby,” Gavin said, protectively, and made my heart warm.

“I know she is safe…” Esme said, giving Gavin a pointed look. “But that doesn’t mean they won’t come for her.”

“Then let them,” Gavin said, a snarl to his words. “I’ll put a stop to them just as I’ve always done. The Churchills won’t get near my mate or anyone in my family.”

“And you aren’t going to be alone,” another voice said from the doorway.

I turned to see Zachary and Selene entering, and behind them stood none other than Cora.
