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

Chapter 714

Judy's POV

"Where are we going?" I asked as Gavin put his hand on the small of my back and guided me through the crowd.

His face was serious, and I felt the tension rising within him; yet, I felt a twinge of determination as well. Whatever he was planning, I knew it was coming together right now.
