Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law

Chapter 0054 Judys POV The house was quiet when I returned home after having dinner at Gavins house .

It was always quiet these days .

The house felt so empty with my mother hiding away in her room , not a sound to be made .

I put my coat on the hook and made my way upstairs .

I paused outside of her bedroom door which was down the hall from my room .

There was no light on , and I wasnt even sure if she would be awake , but I needed to see her .

I needed to make sure that she was alright .

I grabbed the door handle and twisted it , pushing the door open gently .

The door creaked as it moved , and I winced at how dark and smelly it was .

It was clear she hadnt moved from the bed in a long while .

Taking a deep breath , I turned on the light in her dark room and stepped inside .

Mom ? I asked , looking around the mess of a room .

My eyes landed on her form on the bed and my chest tightened even more .

Panic seized me as I ran towards her bed , not knowing if she was breathing or not .

I put my hand on her back and felt for any sign of movement , indicating that she was in fact breathing .

When my hand rose and fell , I sighed out of relief .

Mom ? I said again , this time giving her a gentle shake .

Have you eaten anything at all today ? I already knew the answer because the food I made for her this morning remained untouched on her nightstand .

She lifted her head and her eyes , unfocused , looked at me .

Oh , hey , Judy , she said sleepily .

When did you get here ? A little while ago , I told her .

Im worried about you .

You havent left your room in days and the food that Ive been leaving you every morning and night has been untouched .

I need you to get out of bed and eat something .

Im not very hungry , she murmured as she rested her head back on her pillow .

I sighed , running my fingers through my hair .

You need to eat something , Mom .

Dad wouldnt want this for you , I told her .

She flinched at my mention of my father .

I went to see him earlier today ! She raised her gaze to meet mine once again .

You saw your father ? She asked .

I nodded .

Hes doing well , I lied ; I couldnt tell her that when saw him , he was beaten black and blue .

I couldnt Tell her about the sadness and fear hidden in his eyes .

Please come downstairs with me and eat something … She was quiet for a moment , remaining unmoved .

Then , she sighed and lifted her head again , with a nod , she let me help her out of bed .

She looked so trail , and my heart tugged for her .

She clung to my arm as I walked with her out of the bedroom and down the stairs .

When we reached the living room , she sat on the couch .

She wouldnt look at me ; her eyes remained focused on the ground .

Im going to get you some food , I told her as I walked into the kitchen .

I grabbed a box of pasta from the cabinet and a jar of sauce .

I didnt have it in me to cook anything more than that .

I placed the items on the counter and looked in the freezer for meatballs .

When I saw a bag of them , I grabbed them as well .

I was a zombie walking around the kitchen , my mind on my parents and all they were going through .

My mother was in so much pain because she couldnt be with her mate .

I knew her wolf was shutting down .

I bit my lip as hot tears burned in my eyes ; Lcouldnt let myself break down right now , I had to be strong for my mother .

She needed someone strong and capable to take care of her and that person had to be me because there was nobody else .

I grabbed 1 orange julce from the fridge and opened the top .

I started to pour a glass knowing my mother could use the sugar in her system , but the bottle slipped from my fingers and fell to the ground .

I gasped , jumping back as orange juice got everywhere This time , I couldnt hold back the tears .

They ran down my cheeks as I fell to the ground with the orange juice , letting myself break down because of the mess .noveldrama

Shit , Judy , I heard a familiar voice at the kitchen entrance that led outside .

I whipped around and gasped when Ethan walked in , shutting the door behind him .

What is wrong with you ? Get up , he ordered , forcing me away from the orange juice .

I didnt have enough strength to fight him or tell him off .

I scurried away from the juice , as he grabbed some napkins and got to work cleaning my mess .

I wiped at the tears still lingering in my eyes and watched in silence as he finished cleaning the floor .

He stood to his feet and poured the glass of orange juice before putting the bottle back in the fridge .

He offered me his hand , which I hesitantly took , and then he pulled me to my feet .

What are you doing here , Ethan ? I asked him , folding my arms across my chest .

Saving you apparently .

What are you doing on the floor ? I spilled some juice , and I was cleaning it , I murmured ; he could see through my lie right away though .
