Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 534

Judy’s PV

My eyes grew wide as I stared at Irene. I remembered Rachel asking Gavin what she should wear to the charity event on Sunday, the same event that Irene was talking about. I had been to a fair share of these events, and both my parents would probably be there, seeming they were Deltas of the Redmoon pack; the Cash family was most likely going to be there as well.

It wasn’t something I was planning on intending, especially since Gavin and I had a falling out now that Rachel, his one and only love, returned. But as I stare at Irene, I can see the worry and seriousness hidden in her blue gaze as she nibbles on her lower lip, waiting for my answer.

“The charity event?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

She nodded as she shifted Emalyn’s position on her lap.

“Yes,” she replied. “Nan and Chester agreed to babysit Emalyn while I’m at the event. I really don’t want to go to this thing alone... especially if Ethan's family is going to be there. What if I break and bring up Emalyn?”

I raised my brows at her; I hadn’t even thought about that. Despite Irene’s nature and what she did to her brother, Irene wasn’t great at keeping secrets.

“And you expect me to help you keep this secret?” I asked her, eyeing her carefully.

She shrugged.

“I just need a friend there,” she said softly. “I need some support.”

“You know, I bet if you asked Chuck, he’d drop whatever he’s doing to come help you,” I suggest, trying to get out of this because I could already feel myself caving.

She sighed and ran her fingers through her blonde, disheveled hair. The mom look on Irene was something I was starting to get used to. For a long time, I knew her as the girl with perfect clothing and perfect hair 24/7… but now she looked as if she hadn’t showered in days and was wearing the same clothes, with the same stain, then the last time I saw her a few days ago.

“He lives on the other side of the country,” she reminded me. “I don’t want to make him come to me for something like this.”

“Are you still in contact with him?” I asked.

I watched as her cheeks turned a shade of pink and she nibbled her lip nervously again before nodding.

“It’s weird… I can’t explain what’s happening between us. But do you believe in second chance mates?”

I blinked at her question.
