JARED

Getting to the restaurant, we ordered and sat down to eat.

Shawn was silent all through. His mood seemed a little heavy, and his focus was on his food.

I couldn't help but wonder what changed his mood again. Could he have received a heartbreaking message from the person he loved?

I shrugged, pushing down the thought as I picked food for everyone. Cindy, Stephen, and I played around, having fun to the fullest.

A bit over twenty minutes after we began eating, the door of the restaurant o

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 257: THE DIARY

    JAREDI glanced at Sterly, who nodded reassuringly at me. The first few pages of the diary were filled with Kane's encounters after we separated. He documented his daily life when he fell into depression and how he even felt bad for his omega partner. I skipped all those and ignored the love confessions in this book. I was getting impatient. I didn't come all this way to read Kane's love confessions. What exactly did his mother mean when she talked about his diary?She couldn't have wanted me to realize her son's heart, right? Even after she knew I was married...I raised my head to look at her, and seeing the patient expression on her face, I decided to continue opening the pages. It didn't seem to be what I thought. She wouldn't call me to the funeral just to read love letters. Maybe I was being rude. But I honestly saw no reason to keep my emotions in check after everyt

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 256: FUNERAL

    JAREDA week passed by, and it was finally Kane's burial day. However, I hadn't been able to say a word to Sterly about it. The days had been peaceful, and my life with him had been filled with nothing but sweetness. I felt reluctant to break that by telling him about what Kane's mother said. I sat in bed, wrapped in a bathrobe as I stared at my phone's screen. It was past 8 in the morning, and the burial was scheduled to begin by 10. Two hours more. If I wanted to know the things Kane kept secret from me before his death, I only had two hours more to let Sterly know. But I couldn't help but wonder if it would be worth it. Whatever Kane left behind in his diary, was it worth my effort?I rubbed my brows lazily as I sighed. The bathroom door opened, revealing Sterly with a towel wrapped around his narrow waist. He swept his wet hair to the back as he glanced at me. "Is something wrong?" He asked casually. My heart skipped a beat. I dropped my phone and flashed a smile at h

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 255: CELESTE

    JAREDWe arrived at the family house, and Sterly took my hand as we leisurely walked in. We had only gotten to the entrance of the inner area when voices entered my ears. "Mum, don't keep that there. Wait for me.""Wait, Linda, what are you doing?""You told me brother Sterly and brother Jared like to eat cake." The voice was bubbly and filled with vigor. "No. Sterly doesn't eat this." Another voice rang. It was feminine but filled with coldness and a hint of exhaustion. "Oh. Mum, let's prepare brother Sterly's snack then." My brows creased. The house was much livelier with the owner's voice around. Without a doubt, I knew she was the fiancée who was to be introduced today. Sterly and I exchanged glances, and he slowly shook his head. "I guess this place has just become even more tiring." He said helplessly. I covered my mouth and giggled. Sterly opened the door, and we stepped in. The eyes of everyone inside the house immediately fell on us. There was silence for a mo

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 254: LEAVING

    JAREDThe next day came, and Sterly woke up early to arrange our things. We hadn't been able to tell Stephen and Cindy about our schedule, which made it impossible to go with them. So, while Sterly was preparing our things, I was also arranging questions for Cindy and Stephen. I would give them an ultimatum and ensure they answered all the questions. When Sterly was done, I was also done with over fifty questions and knew it was enough for the day. We would return early tomorrow so we could all read together. Sterly lifted me up from the bed and carried me toward the bathroom. He removed the bathrobe, leaving behind an unclothed body standing before a mirror. My eyes settled on my reflection inside the mirror, and my eyes drifted to my belly, which wasn't any different from when I wasn't pregnant. I tilted my head to look at Sterly, who was adding soap to the water inside the bathtub. "When will I have a baby bump?" I asked with a curious light in my eyes. Probably because

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 253: PERVERT

    JARED Stephen followed his gaze to his belly, and his eyes turned cold. "Do you think I'm pregnant?" He asked coldly. Ryan shivered. He immediately stood up and walked a few feet away from Stephen. "He's not. He's not pregnant." Stephen rolled his eyes. "He dare not impregnate me." He said lowly. Cindy and I exchanged a glance, and we both laughed. Indeed, the agreement between the two of them was that they wouldn't have another baby for a few years. Stephen needed to build his career, and Ryan was in full support. Perhaps that might be what Sterly and I would do in the future. After our first child, we would wait a few years before having another. Moreover, Jarelle wasn't even a year old yet. After a few seconds of banter, we walked out of the house to take a stroll around the compound. Everyone played and talked. Even Sterly contributed whenever it had to do with something impactful. We played around until 8 in the evening before we returned to the house to sleep for

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 252: PREGNANT?

    JAREDGetting downstairs, we saw Sterly and Ryan setting the table. Ryan was chatting vibrantly while the others retained a cool disposition. Nodding whenever possible. But no one found it strange as everyone was used to Sterly being cold. Well, the only exception was whenever he was with me. His movement paused as he raised his head, and his gaze locked with mine. The coldness in his eyes melted, revealing a warmth that stirred the soul, and he wiped his hand as he walked over. "Baby." He called. A smile appeared on my face. I approached and hugged his waist. "What's up?""Are you good?" Sterly nodded. He planted a gentle kiss on my nose and tousled my hair. "I'm good.""Come with me." He said and took my hand, leading me toward the kitchen. I tilted my brows, feeling a bit confused. Sterly seemed to want to tell me something. We went into the kitchen, and he calmly cleaned the table. "Linda called." He said. "Oh." Linda always called him. Well, Drake and father include

Seeing the phone on the other side of the bed, right beside the pillow, I grabbed it and immediately turned it on, only
