Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 381

She frowned as she watched me walk towards the training center; there were two vending machines right outside the door. One with healthy snacks, and the other with waters, Gatorades, and energy drinks.

“You know those aren’t good for you, right?” She asked, following after me. “Plus, you might crash out later.”

I went to grab my wallet from my bag to grab some singles, ignoring her warning. I grabbed a few dollars and chose the drink that didn’t sound awful. As soon as the can popped out, I opened it and took a sip, wincing at the taste.

She frowned at me and folded her arms across her chest.

“Seriously, what’s wrong with you?” She asked. “You seem off… not yourself. Are you focused because this part of the competition is crucial?”

“I’ll be ready,” I told her. “You don’t need to worry about me. Just worry about yourself.”

She went to open her mouth to speak again but closed it when she saw Gavin approaching. He walked with determination in his steps and my entire body froze at the sight of him. His shirt was off and the sweat on his muscly body indicated he either came from the gym, or he got another type of workout this morning. The thought turned my stomach.

I refused to break down in front of him though. I had to keep myself strong.

“Can we talk?” He asked, ignoring Tabby’s presence.

“I’ll see you in a bit,” Tabby murmured as she walked away.

I took another sip of my drink without meeting his eyes.

“Those aren’t good for you,” he said, narrowing his eyes. “You should drink water before the competition.”

“I’ll be fine,” I told him. “I don’t need you to be concerned about me too.”

“Hey, wait,” he said before I could turn around and walk away. “What’s wrong with you? Did you sleep last night?”

I pressed my lips in a thin line, not wanting to get into why I hadn’t slept. Clearly Daisy didn’t tell him about my visit last night or about how little talk.

“I slept fine,” I lied.

“Judy, look at me,” he demanded.

My traitorous body immediately met his eyes; I was convinced that he Alpha commanded me, making it impossible for me to resist. Upon seeing the look on my face and the pain in my eyes, his eyes darkened.

“What’s wrong?” His voice dropped to a mere whisper.
