Seducing My Ex's Father In Law by Caroline Above Story

Judy's POV

"Great job today, Matt," I said proudly as we finished up our training for the evening. I was exhausted about ready to return home. It was the day after I went out to dinner with my family, and I hadn't heard from Nan since last night. I was admittedly worried about her, but life had to go on.

"Thanks," Matt said with a bright smile. "I learned a lot from watching the competition."

I laughed and rubbed his head with my hand, ruffling his hair. We walked inside and I paused when I saw Gavin walking towards us. His expression was hard to read, but his eyes poured into me. He didn't bother responding after I asked him for my favor last night.

"Hi, Dad,” Matt said with a bright smile. "We just finished training. I learned new stuff from the competition and impressed Judy."

I chuckled at his words; he wasn't wrong.

"Nice job," Gavin said to him, giving him an appreciative nod. "Can you give us a minute, buddy?"

Matt nodded and said goodbye to me before retreating to his room. I gazed up at Gavin, wondering what it was he wanted to talk about. He stepped closer to me, his expression suddenly softening and my heart skipped a beat at the sight of him. He brushed a strand of sweaty hair away from my face and tucked it behind my ear, his fingers lingering around my cheeks for a moment longer.

When he spoke, his tone was low and thoughtful, like his words were meant for my ears alone and I felt a warmth spread throughout my body.

"Mind to tell me why I just fired one of my most trusted maids?"

My heart stuttered at his words. I gawked at him; he was serious.

"You fired her?" I asked, already knowing he was talking about Harper. He raised his brows.
