SEDUCING MY EX’S FATHER IN LAW - Season 1 Episode 53

Why are you asking ? He countered ; his eyes narrowed in her direction ..

She sucked her bottom lip into her mouth and nibbled on it gently as she thought about how to answer his question .

Truth be told , she wasnt sure why she wanted to know .

Maybe to prove that the mate bond doesnt matter .

Shes not mated with Ethan , but if either of them did ever found their mates , would they still want to be with each other , or would they automatically choose their mates ? The thought terrified Irene and she would be lying if she said she wasnt worried about Ethan one day finding his mate and then leaving her .

She wanted to know if the mate bond could be fought .

If someone as strong and powerful as Gavin Landry couldnt fight the mate bond , was there any hope for the rest of them ? I guess Im just trying to figure out how the mate bond works , she murmured , tugging at her fingers .

nervously .

He sighed and leaned back on the couch as he thought about her question .

The bond is strong , he admitted .

Probably the strangest thing youd ever experience .

You think your have a handle on it , but in reality , you arent in control .

Its your wolves that take over .

They make it impossible to stay away .

But theres also a part of you that doesnt want to stay away .

You will start to crave them to a point where its almost painful .

Fighting it would only make you and your wolf miserable .

Did you try to fight it ? She asked .

I was young , he murmured .

I didnt really understand the feeling and the bond .

It was all very confusing .

I think a part of me tried to fight it , yes .

But your mother had a way of bringing me out of my shell .

Then , she gave me the greatest gift I could have ever received .

Whats that ? She asked .

Gavin wrapped an arm around his daughter and pulled her in for a hug .

You , he answered .

She smiled as she peered up at him .

So , you did love her , she said softly ; it wasnt a question this time , but Gavin still answered her anyway .

He nodded with a soft smile playing on his lips .

Yes , he answered .

When she died it was really difficult .

Is that why you dont date ? He raised his brows at her question .

I date .

You dont date seriously , she retorted .

Its always one night stands .

Never anything real .

Chapter 0053 – I dont have the time to date , he told her .

I have a pack to run , duties to fulfill , and children to care for .

Im not a child anymore , Dad , she reminded him , nudging his arm with hers .

And Matt doesnt need you around all the time .

We both want you to be happy even if it means dating someone younger than you .

She bit her lip ; she was hinting , and he knew it .

He frowned at her .

Someone younger ? He asked , his eyes never leaving the side of her face .

She shrugged .

We just want you to be happy … with whoever you choose , she told him .

We dont want you to be lonely .

Youve thought a lot about this , huh ? He asked her .

She bit back a smile , but she didnt deny it .

Im going to bed now .

Im guessing Ethan wont call me tonight , she said , standing to her feet .

Gavin could hear the heartache in her tone .

Good night , Dad .

Thanks for the talk .

He didnt say anything , he gave her a nod and watched as she left the room .

His mind traveled back to Judy and how she must be feeling through her own mate bond .

Gavin knew that the mate bond was strong , and it was difficult to break ; she had to live with the fact that her fated mate was marrying another woman and there was nothing she could do about it .

He wondered if Judy was strong enough to overcome such pain .

Is there anything you need tonight before I call it a night ? One of the maids asked , walking into the room .

Gavin sighed and stood to his feet .

No , you are dismissed , he told her and started to walk past her .

I quite liked Miss Montague , the maid proceeded to say before Gavin could leave the room .

Shes a good fit for the house ; dont you think ? Gavin wasnt sure what to say in response , so he chose not to say anything .

He walked out of the living room without sparing her another look .
