The Ex-Boyfriend's DadUpdated at May 26, 2026, 00:45
Chloe Martinez, 20, is a working-class nursing student who just got dumped by Liam Thorne—her wealthy boyfriend of two years—via text, three days before Thanksgiving. Devastated and exhausted, she goes to a dive bar in her scrubs, where she meets Julian, 38, a handsome stranger who reveals that his wife died two years ago. They talk for hours, then spend the night together. No last names. No regrets.
The next day, Chloe walks into Liam's family estate for Thanksgiving dinner. Julian is Liam's father.
Chaos ensues. Liam doesn't know. Julian pretends not to recognize her. Chloe spills wine everywhere. But when Julian follows her to the garage, he doesn't apologize—he admits he can't stop thinking about her. He starts showing up at her coffee shop, sending anonymous flowers, and slowly dismantling every reason she has to say no.
But Julian has a secret: his wife didn't just die. She killed herself. And Liam knows why. When the truth comes out, Chloe has to choose between the clean, safe future she's worked for—or the broken man who makes her feel whole.
