JARED'S POV

My lips pursed as I watched the middle-aged man approach us.

He stood beside Mr. Sterly, and he revealed a calm smile. "Mr Sterly, you are here." He mumbled.

Sterly's eyes flashed with displeasure, but he still tilted his head to look at the man. "Mr Xavier, it's been a while." He said deeply.

The man laughed. He clinked his drink with Sterly's. "Yes, it's been so long. I had to travel for a project but I'm back now." He said. His eyes glinted with excitement.

It was evident th

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 262: DELIVERY.

    JAREDAfter the party was over, my friends and family returned to their houses to give Sterly and me some space. Sterly held me in his arms as he took me to the bathroom and helped me remove my clothes. My stomach had grown, and it was a bit uncomfortable to sit in the bathtub. Sterly and I stood under the shower as we had our bath. He had his arms wrapped around my waist, and his chin rested on my shoulder. "Baby," He called. I closed my eyes as I rested my head and hugged Sterly's arms. "Hm?""You can never leave me," Sterly mumbled. My eyes opened. Water rolled down my eyelashes, causing me to blink both from the impact and from the surprise. "We are married now, and you belong to me." Sterly continued. "You can never leave me in this life." I bit my lower lip, suppressing the racing of my heart. "Are you threatening me?" I asked in a low

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 261: THE WEDDING

    JARED"What happened to them?" I asked as I took the phone from Stephen to see. It had been so long since I heard from them that I was starting to forget about their existence. Not once had they mattered anyway, and I had always been an orphan. However, hearing about them again still piqued my curiosity, and I wanted to learn about the karma that befell them. "They've been crippled," Stephen mumbled. I nodded as I checked the news on the screen. According to the report, Lyra and her husband were found in a raided illegal underground casino. Their legs had been broken after they got into a fight with the casino owner over a dispute. They had been locked up as their hands weren't clean either. I stared at the phone without saying anything for a long time. Lyra had been crippled alongside her husband. They had also been arrested. Was this truly karma?After everything they did to their child with the intention of giving birth to another, would they ever be able to give birth a

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 260: ULTRASOUND

    JAREDThe wedding drew nearer, and with my pregnancy, I wasn't able to get involved too much in the stress. Sterly had been working closely with my friends to make it a grand one, which actually made me happy. "Are we going out to book the hall right away?" Cindy asked, perked up when she saw us. Stephen shook his head with contempt written all over his face. "Mr. Sterly owns the hotel, you know?"I quickly waved my hands at the two, honestly not ready for their unending bickering. "Today, we are going to the hospital for the ultrasound," I explained, rubbing my plump belly. "It's the fifth month already." Stephen's eyes lit up. "Then, we will find out the gender today?" He rubbed his hands together, excitement showing on his handsome face. "My daughter is about to get married." Cindy chuckled. "What if it's a girl?" My eyes also settled on Stephen, ready to mock him. But we w

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 259: AFTER EXAM

    JARED The exam began that way, and fortunately, the questions were mostly the ones I had discussed with my friends. Every time there was an exam, Sterly would prepare our lunchboxes and take us to school, and this lasted for a month. A month later. My friends and I got out of the exam hall, and the fatigue in our brows finally lessened. We looked at each other, and without words, we started laughing. Many students were walking around, shouting and playing. It was our last exam in university, and none of us could hide that excitement. After four years of being under professors and experiencing their strictness, it felt really nice to finally be over that. Though, I still needed to go for Master's degree and PHD, but that was for the future. At least, I would still

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 258: EXAM

    JAREDWe left the place after an hour of discussing and drinking tea with Kane's family. Perhaps it was because of the things Kane wrote in the diary about my aunt that the coldness between his mother and me dissipated a lot before we left the place. She even followed us to the car. In the car, Sterly held my hand without letting go, and the car was silent. "Shall we eat out?" Stephen suggested. I turned to look at him and then glanced at Cindy, who nodded. "Let's do that then." That would reduce Sterly's work when we returned home later. Sterly stopped at a restaurant, and we got in. After ordering, we sat down, waiting for the meals."Jared," Cindy called. "We have less than two weeks to our final exam. What's your plan after school?" My brows twitched slightly. Was this Cindy's way of lighting the mood?Well, it worked. In a while

  • 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

    JARED"I'm okay," I shouted, feeling extremely excited. I opened the door and stepped out. The smile on my face was already enough to give everyone the evidence that I was happy...Stephen's worried expression also morphed into one of excitement as he approached and hugged me tightly. Feeling hi

    STERLY I opened the divorce document before me for the umpteenth time, and a sigh escaped my lips. I rubbed my face, feeling weary and sick from within. It had been over two weeks since Nate returned, and yet, all the divorce agreement needed was a sign from me, and then Jared would become my ex

Stephen looked reluctant to part with his daughter, and even after waiting for more than twenty minutes outside, he still kept on playing with the girl endlessly. I sighed and ruffled his hair.

    JARED"Jared..." Sterly's breath had turned haggard as he called. He gripped my waist as if trying to hide the bump that furiously poked my butt. I closed my eyes and sighed. Without saying a word or insisting further, I stood up from his lap and took a few steps away from him. Sterly also sto
