Dating My Ex-Boyfriend’s Daddy . Chapter 99: back back backstabber . “W-Why did you post this?” Addison asks after a few seconds of staring at Joshua’s phone with wide eyes.Because it will give him a shit ton of followers? Duh. “Because I have hundreds of hateful comments from people asking me what I’m thinking about my dad dating a girl younger than me,” Joshua explains. “By posting this, they’ll see that I already knew and that I’m okay with it.” “But… that caption makes it sound like I don’t care about the hate.”“That’s the point. You need to show them that their comments don’t get to you or they’ll never stop,” Joshua says, knowing well enough that this photo will probably only increase the hate. It's not exactly a flattering angle for Addison, and the side-by-side comparison with Joshua -- Javan’s son -- makes it even more painfully obvious how young Addison is. “N-No, I– Please delete it, Joshua. Even if you're right, I don’t want them to think I’m looking for attentio
Dating My Ex-Boyfriend’s Daddy . Chapter 100: after intermediating . "Not really," Addison says in a teary voice, bottom lip quivering. "Now people are making fun of me for those stupid Lego unboxing YouTube videos my friend and I posted a few years ago.""On no," Joshua sighs, hoping to sound sympathetic. "I'm sorry. Have you considered deleting them?" "I deleted them as soon as I saw the article, but some websites posted screenshots of them. And someone even reuploaded the worst ones. I mean... who does that? Why do people care who your dad is dating? He's a grown-up, I'm a grown-up… we're not doing anything illegal. Are they so frustrated with their own lives that they need to tear others down?"Not knowing how to properly respond to that, Joshua changes topics. "Well… I’m making myself some sandwiches. Want some too?”Lips parting slightly, Addison flashes Joshua a thankful look. “I’m not really hungry, but thanks for the offer. Really.”Shrugging his shoulders, Joshua moves
Dating My Ex-Boyfriend’s Daddy . Chapter 101: meeting Morgan Roswell . Addison’s on edge for the rest of the day. The mean articles, the rude comments, the annoying texts some of her old schoolmates or fellow college students send her; the fact that Javan’s parents might not be supportive of their relationship, and the upcoming dinner with them… It's enough to make Addison more anxious than she’s ever been before. It gets better the second Javan finally comes home from work. The comfort of being embraced and held by his strong arms make Addison feel secure and protected immediately. “How are you, baby?”“Better, now that you’re here,” Addison says, nestling her face against the crook of Javan’s neck. “How are you? How was work?”“I’m okay, Addison. As I said, please don’t worry about me. And work was pretty uneventful.”“No problems with the board?”“No,” Javan says, voice a little higher than usual.Thinking back to Joshua’s words, Addison leans back a little so that she’s abl
Dating My Ex-Boyfriend’s Daddy . Chapter 101: fascinating . “I-I’m Addison. Addison Garcia. Um... N-Nice to meet you.”The way her eyes are moving up and down Addison’s clothes before lingering on her face makes her cheeks grow hot. The fact that she’s taller than Addison by two or three inches doesn’t help.“Hi, Nana,” Joshua says to Addison’s right, stepping forward to kiss her on both cheeks. “How are you?”“Hi. I’m fine, how are you?” When they start chatting, Addison steps back and turns around to look for Javan. The man is standing a few feet to the left, still carrying his little niece. “Natalya, I want you to meet someone,” Javan mumbles in her ear before putting her down. “This is Addison. She’s … my new girlfriend.”“Your new girlfriend?” Natalya opens her eyes a bit more, staring at Addison for a few seconds before turning to look up at Javan again. “Like auntie Emily was?”Javan chuckles and squats down. “Yes. Like Emily was. Why don’t you go say hello? I told Addis
Dating My Ex-Boyfriend’s Daddy . Chapter 102: she's moving in? . Natalya’s pupils dilate excitedly. “Can I see?”“Um…” Seeking help, Addison looks sheepishly at Javan, who grins. “We’ve actually been talking about taking her to the planetarium. Becoming an astronaut is more of a recent career wish, but how about we go tomorrow?”Whereas Natalya bounces in her seat, Morgan furrows her brows. “I’d rather you stayed home this weekend. There were two paparazzi running forward when we got out of the car.” With a worried side glance at her grand daughter, she advises that Javan hires some additional security personnel for the weekend. “I don’t want them to follow you and take pictures of her.”“Neither do I,” Javan says soothingly. “But you’re right. Maybe it’s better if we stay home this weekend.”Feeling guilty, Addison lowers her head. If it weren’t for her, they wouldn’t have to deal with all this shit right now... she stays mostly silent for the rest of the meal, listening to Josh
Dating My Ex-Boyfriend’s Daddy . Chapter 103: you don't get it, do you? . At 5:00 p.m., Javan asks Natalya to get her backpack and say her goodbye to Addison. The girl smiles brightly as she hugs her around the waist. “Bye, Nay,” She says, gently stroking over her hair. “It was nice meeting you.”“See you,” she smiles, breaking the hug before running up to Javan and taking his hand. Twenty minutes after they’ve left, Joshua comes home. “Where’s dad?” he asks, furrowing his brows.“Taking Natalya home. He said he’d be back in half an hour.”“Mhm.” Nodding absentmindedly, Joshua slowly sits down on the couch. “How did it go? Spending the day with her, I mean.”Confused about Joshua being nice to her again, Addison cautiously says, “It... went really well, I think. She’s a sweetheart.”“She is,” Joshua says, smiling softly. “I’m glad you got along with her. How are you holding up?”Relieved that Joshua isn't acting hostile anymore, Addison wraps her arms around her bent knees. “A lit
Dating My Ex-Boyfriend’s Daddy. Chapter 104: no one can come in between us . Finally turning around, Joshua flashes him a very pitying smile. “You don’t get it, do you? This is exactly like a clout chaser behaves; a person, who feeds off others popularity to get famous themselves. I wouldn’t be surprised if she accepted promotions soon.”Javan can’t help snorting softly. “I highly doubt that. It’s not her fault those websites posted photos from her account, and that people follow her.”“Isn’t it?” Coming closer, Joshua lowers his voice. “What if this is exactly what Addison wanted? Think about that classmate who claimed she’d always tried to befriend the rich kids. Then, the YouTube videos. I know she said the first one was for a school project, but what about the rest? Why publish them if she didn’t want to get attention? And who says that she didn’t leak those photos and her profile herself or asked one of her few friends to do it? Speaking of, if Addison’s so nice and sweet and
Dating My Ex-Boyfriend’s Daddy . Chapter 105: big boost of confidence . “She moved in?” Milo’s expression is indefinable. “Yes. Just because someone played a stupid prank on her, dad’s worrying about her safety now." The first thing Joshua did when he decided to resume to work this Tuesday was storm into Milo’s office and tell him about all the shit that happened that weekend. The only things he lied about was that it was him who leaked Addison’s address to the media and who ordered all the food. "Now I have to look at her stupid face all the fucking time."“Have you considered moving out?”Snorting, Joshua starts pacing back and forth. “That would suit them just fine. No, I was here first. I won’t let that little whore chase me out of my own home. It’s bad enough already that she got all this clout from dad and me. I mean, she gained almost two hundred thousand followers ever since the first article appeared. To get there, it had taken me over a fucking year of hard work, and
