Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 789

Judy’s POV

The flight home was eerie.

Irene sat in the back of the plane with her earphones on, staring out the window and lost in thought. This was the first moment she hadn’t cried since yesterday, but I knew it wouldn’t last long. I knew she just didn’t want to cry in front of her father, but once she was alone, she would let it all out. Erik and Matt sat together. From the look on Erik’s face, it looked like he wanted to join Irene at the back of the plane, but he was stopping himself.

Matt had fallen asleep about an hour ago, as had Nan, resting her head against Chester’s shoulder. Eliza was reading a book, and Taylor was emailing and getting some work done.

Gavin had been on edge since the masquerade ball yesterday and kept his arm wrapped around me the entire time like he was afraid I would disappear at any moment. I could feel that his wolf was seriously on edge, and I wanted to take away some of that tension, but I knew I couldn’t. Not until we figured out what the hell was going on with me.

“We are going to the hospital when we land,” Gavin said, keeping his voice low and for my ears alone.

I peeked up at him with a frown.

“I told you that’s not necessary. Eliza said I was physically fine and so were the babies,” I reminded him. “I don’t want to waste more of her time with this.”

“You passed out, Judy,” he said, leaving no room for arguments. “Again. I’m not risking you or our baby’s life.”

“But I’m awake now and okay,” I assured him, leaning against him. “You don’t have to worry anymore.”

“You have no idea how scary it was for me to see you lying on the ground like that,” Gavin said after a short pause; there was so much emotion in his voice that it tugged at my heart. “And then you wouldn’t wake up… I thought I lost you… Or was losing you.”

“You could never lose me.”

“You know what I mean,” he said sharply. “Your life is not something I’m going to play around with. I already lost one mate to death, I will not lose another. I will not lose you.”

I let out a breath.

“I love you,” I finally settled on, resting my head against his broad shoulder. “I love that you care about and continue to care for me. But I promise you, I’m okay.”

“Something kept you asleep,” he whispered. “Something made you pass out…”

I bit my lip, chewing on it.

He lifted his head from mine and stared at me with furrowed brows.

“What is it?” He asked.

I raised my own brows.

“What?”
