Seducing My Ex's Father In Law Chapter 445

Chapter 445
Judy’s POV

“Who do you think she’s talking to?” Nan whispered. “Or about?”

I shrugged.

It was strange to see her having a secret conversation behind the gym. Just as we were about to step away, she turned the corner and froze when she saw us.

“Judy,” she gasped, then her eyes flicked to Nan. “And, uh… Nah. Hi. What are you girls doing here?”

I glanced at Nan before turning back to Sammy.

“We were just heading to the gym, and I thought I heard your voice. We came to check it out.”

Her cheeks flushed, and she started looking anywhere but at us.

“We didn’t hear anything,” Nan quickly said. “We just got here. Were you on the phone?”

She nodded.

“Yeah,” she replied. “Just talking to family. I have to go, though. I’ll see you girls later.”

Without another word, she brushed past us and took off, leaving us staring after her, dumbfounded. I looked at Nan, and her confused expression mirrored mine. After a moment of silent hesitation, we headed into the gym.

It wasn’t crowded, thankfully. A few people from my combat class were using the weight machines. They gave us respectful nods before continuing their workouts without bothering us.

Nan made a beeline for the treadmill while I chose the nearest weight machine so we could still talk during our workouts.

Despite her petite frame, Nan had always been athletic. She’d played multiple sports in middle and high school, with track being one of her favorites. So, I wasn’t surprised when she immediately set the treadmill to its highest setting and began sprinting.

“Maybe she got back together with her boyfriend and is embarrassed about it?” Nan said after a while. Clearly, we were both still thinking about Sammy and that mysterious phone call.

“It didn’t sound like a boyfriend,” I said, frowning. “She said it was a family member. But it sounded like they were asking her to do something she didn’t want to.”

Figuring this out shouldn’t be hard—especially since I was in Gamma training. It was literally my job to uncover things like this. If I couldn’t, that’d be embarrassing.

“Maybe her family wants her to get back together with him,” Nan suggested. “He was an Alpha, right?”
I nodded.

“Yeah, but he never took on the role of an Alpha. He entered the Gamma competition, which meant he wanted to join the Elite Force.”

“Do we even know who he is?” Nan asked with a frown.

“She never told us his name.”

“He definitely exists, though… right?” Nan asked, her brows furrowed.

The fact that she could sprint that fast and still hold a conversation—with full facial expressions—was impressive.

“Sammy wouldn’t lie to us… would she?” I asked. But even as the words left my mouth, I wasn’t so sure. She’d been snooping around in my bedroom and hiding phone calls from us. It was strange behavior, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that Sammy was lying—or at least keeping something from us. The thought left an unsettled feeling in the pit of my stomach.

“I don’t know,” Nan said softly. “I’m a little worried that we’re being deceived.”

We both fell silent as we continued our workout. After an hour, we were panting and sore—but we felt better.

Nan finally slowed the treadmill to a walk while I reduced the weight on my machine.

“Maybe we should talk to her again,” I suggested. “Or at least keep an eye on her.”

Nan nodded in agreement.

She glanced at her watch and sighed as she turned off the treadmill and hopped off.

“I have to get to work. Will you be okay if I leave?” she asked.

I nodded.

“Yeah, Taylor’s picking me up in a few minutes. I’ve got work tonight, too. I promised Matt I wouldn’t bail on him again,” I said as I sat up on the bench. “Call me later, okay?”

She nodded, grabbed her things, and hurried out of the gym.

I stayed a little longer before calling it a day and packing up my own stuff.

As I reached the parking lot, I spotted the familiar car that Beta Taylor usually drove parked out front. There was no sign of Sammy, so I figured she wasn’t riding with us. That was fine—I wanted to head straight to the Villa anyway. Honestly, I still wasn’t sure how I felt about her, so maybe some space was exactly what I needed.
