Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law Chapter 825

Judy’s POV

The drive home was much quieter than I had expected. When Gavin dropped the bomb about the Blackwells’ lying to us, I wasn’t sure what to think. Selene didn’t seem like the kind of woman who would straight up lie to me. I also didn’t think Zachary would be bold enough to lie, but Lila… I wouldn’t put it past her.

Something about it didn’t seem right to me, but I didn’t argue with him. I just got into the car and let him close the door behind me. He gave the manor one last lingering look before he, too, got into the car and drove us away. His hands were clutching the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles were growing white.

I wanted to ask if he was okay, but I couldn’t get the words out of my mouth. It’s not like I was afraid of him, but I could tell he needed a moment to gather his thoughts. I just didn’t think it would take the entire hour drive back to the Silver Crescent pack, and even a little longer as we reached the villa and got inside.

Gavin took his time taking off his suit jacket, hanging it up, and then kicking off his shoes. We were in our bedroom, and I was watching him with an earnest expression as he unbuttoned his shirt, his abs becoming visible to me, and my mouth nearly on the ground. I couldn’t seem to look away from him, which was a normal reaction, honestly.

He was a distraction, and my wolf couldn’t wait to get him naked again. No matter how many times we’ve had him, it’ll never be enough.

He turned to look at me, his eyes finding mine, and the earnest expression he was sporting only moments ago softened, and I could see the lingering concern in

his eyes.

“Are you going to tell me what’s going on?” I finally asked him, my voice coming out raspier than I meant.

He let out a breath and ran his fingers through his hair.

“I saw Lila and Daisy together,” he said, making my heart stop in my chest. “Daisy Baldwin?”

He nodded.

“They were looking at the Moon Gem and it was glowing rather brightly,” he explained. His brows pinched together as he remembered what he had seen. “Lila touched it and it burned her.”

I let out a breath like I had been punched in the stomach, the dream I had came crashing into my memory. It was the same thing in my dream as well; I was told that it would only be accepted by the one it belonged to and would burn anyone who tried to mess with it.

But that didn’t make any sense because that magic was supposed to belong to Lila. She was the daughter that they took the magic from… so why wouldn’t the gem recognize her as such?

“What’s wrong?” He asked, eyeing me carefully.

“It just doesn’t make sense. Why would something that belongs to her burn her?” I

asked, shaking my head like I was trying to shake away the thought.

“Because it doesn’t belong to her. They lied to us. I doubt it even belongs to the Blackwell family. My father was probably the one who was telling the truth the entire timë, and they turned on him,” he O

muttered, the anger and resentment clear in his eyes.

“What if they didn’t know?” I found myself asking.

“How could they not know this?” Gavin asked, shaking his head. “She’s their daughter.”

“But what if she isn’t?” I asked before I could think better of it. I immediately clamped my mouth shut, regretting my words.

Gavin furrowed his brows.

“What are you saying?” He asked. “Of course she is. Unless you think they are lying about that, too?”

I shook my head.

“I was thinking maybe there was a mix-up at the hospital,” I said, wrapping my arms around myself. “Like maybe Selene’s baby isn’t the same baby she brought home.”

“Why would you think that?”

“Selene told me that when Lila was born, she was as healthy as a horse, but then a day later, she had a sudden heart condition. It’s just strange for that to happen out of nowhere. Right?”

“It’s strange, but not unheard of,” Gavin said, watching me carefully.

“And Lila looks nothing like her family, don’t you think?” I asked. “Her whole family has dark hair, and she has blonde.”

“We don’t know their entire family line. There could be blondes somewhere in her family tree,” Gavin suggested. “That doesn’t mean Lila isn’t her daughter.”

“The Moon Gem is supposed to unleash its magic on the rightful owner of said magic, but it hasn’t released it to Lila,” I said, narrowing my eyes at him. “Don’t you think that’s weird.mean, you obviously do or we wouldn’t be having this conversation.”

Gavin sighed and stepped closer to me. He put his hands on my shoulders and traced a pattern with his thumbs or each side of my neck, sending a warmth throughout my entire body and making me lean into him.
