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

"What is it?" Alex finally asked after a long while of silence.

"I need to call my father," Irene said, still in a daze.

She grabbed her phone and swiped across the screen until she got to Gavin's contact number. Then she pressed the call button, her breathing shaky. She's hoping that her tone doesn't sound as frantic as her mind.

She stared down at the small baby, still in the carrier and wrapped in a pink blanket. She was so tiny; it was clear that she was born early.

Irene's heart tugged at the sight of her, knowing that she was Ethan's baby, made it difficult, but this baby was innocent and adorable.

"This is not a good time, Irene," Gavin's voice cut through her inner monologue.

Irene winced at the harshness of his tone, and she knew she had to be quick or else he would hang up on her.

"Dad, it's an emergency," she went on to say in a single breath. "Ethan's baby is here, and I don't know what to do."

Tears broke free from her eyes before she could stop them.

She could feel Alex stiffening as he listened to the phone conversation.

"What are you talking about?" Gavin's voice was still harsh, but had lost some of its depth.

"I mean, there is a baby in the villa right now with a note from Ethan's mistress saying that she couldn't give the baby a good life and that she's worried Ethan will find out about her. She knows I come from a good family and wants me to raise this baby... Dad, I'm so confused. I don't know what I'm going to do. There's a literal baby in the parlor right now."
