SEDUCING MY EX’S FATHER IN LAW - Season 7 Episode 47

Judy’s POV

“Love?” The word was only a whisper on my lips. I was at a loss for words; I stared at the man in front of me, the vulnerability and truth in his eyes shining through. My heart was stuttering out of place as I stared at him, my eyes brimming with tears. “You…” I swallowed. “You love me?”

Before he could reply, a waiter came and poured us two glasses of red juice. I raised my brows because we hadn’t ordered anything yet. Gavin smirked and took a sip of his juice, nodding at the waiter, who nodded back before retreating.

“I hope you don’t mind, I took the liberty of ordering ahead to save us some time,” he explained.

“Save us some time?” I asked. “Are we in a rush?”

“Not exactly, but we do have to be somewhere after this, and I thought dinner would go by smoothly if everything was prepared for us before we got here,” he explained.

I nodded and took a sip, my stomach a mess of butterflies. I had no idea what was happening; was this all about a love confession? Was he doing all of this because he loved me? I had so many questions for him, and I wished that I could have a little liquid courage to help me ask these questions. But I couldn’t because

I was pregnant. That still was mind-blowing to me, being pregnant.

I had never tasted juice as good as this, and I had to close my eyes as the flavors hit my taste buds.

“It’s handmade juice,” he explained.

“You didn’t have to do all of this,” I told him, setting the glass down.

“You’re worth it, Judy,” he told me without missing a beat, making my heart, once again, skip a beat. I looked up at him and saw how serious he was; I wasn’t sure what to make of all of this.

“I feel underdressed…”

“You’re perfect.” His words made a blush creep up my cheeks. “I should have treated you better before you left. I can’t rewind time and fix what had happened….. what I broke… but I can vow to make better choices in the future and to make sure you are included in those choices.”

“Gavin ”

“Let me finish,” he said, cutting me off. “I’m not good at this. I know that sounds stupid considering who I am, but I’ve had a total of 2 serious relationships. One being my wife and fated mate. You snuck up on me, Judy. I wasn’t expecting to feel what I feel for you, and I’m not sure when it happened… But I am sorry for making you feel as if you are not good enough. Because the truth of the matter is… You are more than enough.”

I swallowed the lump in my throat; suddenly, my mouth had gone dry, and the words failed to leave my lips.

A couple of different waiters came with platters of food, and my eyes grew wide. They made my favorite dishes. I stared up at Gavin, who smiled at me, his eyes shining with a love and devotion that I had never seen from a man before. My heart skipped a beat as I nibbled on my lower lip.

They placed the food on the table, and one of the waiters, the one who brought the juice, asked, “Anything else I can get for you, Mr. Landry?”

“No, Calvin, that’ll be all. Thank you,” Gavin said politely, dismissing him.

The waiter, whose name is Calvin, apparently, nodded and motioned for the others to follow him out. I assumed he was the one in charge.

Once they were gone, I glanced down at all the food, my stomach growling and my mouth practically watering.

“I hope this is okay,” Gavin said, eyeing me carefully. “I know these are some of your favorite meals.”

“How did you know this?” I asked him, glancing at him. I don’t think we’ve ever actually discussed my favorite foods before. We never really discussed much of anything like this before.

He kept his eyes on me, an intense look in his gaze.

“I pay attention to you, Judy,” he tells me. “I always have.”

“But I never told you my favorite foods…”

“You think I’ll let you work in my villa, close to my son, and not do any research on

you?” he tells me. “There’s very little that I don’t know about you.”

I felt my cheeks heating from his words.

He lowered his voice to almost a whisper.

“I’ve always noticed you, Judy. I’ve always paid attention.”

I picked up my fork and started to eat this incredible food; the flavors bursting in

my mouth, and I couldn’t help the moan that left my mouth.

Gavin’s eyes darkened, drawing my attention back to his face. He was

watching me intently with almost hungry look in his eyes, but it wasn’t the food he was hungry for

“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked, sucking my bottom lip into my mouth.

A smirk played on his lips.

“Keep making those sounds and I’m going to do a lot more than looking at you, he said, his voice low and sultry. “We might not make it to the next surprise.”
