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
HIS RELUCTANT MATE CHAPTER 251: READING SESSION
JAREDI glanced at Stephen, who was already sitting right beside me. Cindy had also dropped her pen and was looking at me. I closed my eyes and rubbed my temple. Not considering what Kane did to me when he was alive, it was still improper for me to visit his burial. He was someone I used to be involved with, and the relationship had lasted three years. It was already great that Sterly wasn't jealous after he learned about our relationship, but wouldn't I be going too far by going to his funeral?I honestly didn't know what decision to make. I sighed helplessly and shook my head. "Ma, I will have to ask for my husband's decision on this," I said to her. "I understand, Jared. Take care." "Hm." "I will send the address to you. If you can come, just come directly to the address in a week." She replied and ended the call. I stared at the phone's screen without saying a word. Asking for Sterly's permission? Of course, he would agree without any problem. But the issue wasn't abo
HIS RELUCTANT MATE CHAPTER 250: THE CALL
JAREDWhen the class ended, we scrapped the earlier planned reading session I had suggested for Shawn's sake, and we made our way home. Ryan came over to drop Stephen off at our house while Cindy followed Sterly and me. We arrived home, and with Jarelle in my arms, I entered the house. Sterly had his arm around my back, making it look like Jarelle was our child. The picture made me chuckle. "Baby," Sterly called. I raised my brow to look at him. "Your final exam is less than three weeks away." I gave a small nod. He was right, but I also knew that wasn't the point. "Should we have our wedding after the final exam then?" He asked in a low voice. My heart raced a bit. Our wedding. After everything that had happened, I had long since forgotten about the wedding Sterly and what I had planned. Well, we were living alright at the moment, and the excitement toward a wedding had become smaller. However, thinking about it again, even though we'd been together for a long time, we
HIS RELUCTANT MATE CHAPTER 29: ESTRUS
JARED'S POV I rested my back against the cold wall. My breathing became ragged, and my legs felt like they weighed a ton. Sweat dripped out of my body without stopping, and I gasped softly. My pheromones had completely gone out of control. Each breath contained the floral scent, and I really did

JARED'S POV Shocked was an understatement. Never in my wildest dreams had I expected Linda to be a stylist and Sterly's stylist at that. No wonder Drake always complained about losing out in gaining his brother's love...I stood up and smiled brightly. "Sist

JARED'S POV "Kill him!" Stephen shouted. "I know." I snapped. "I really still find it hard to believe he would betray me this way. He's been with me since young." I mumbled and sighed. Stephen clicked his tongue. "I knew he was a devil from the moment he joined our Sect. You kept calling him sen

STEPHEN'S POVI grinned as I watched the beautiful Mr Sterly leave the coffee shop. I turned my attention to Jared and nudged her shoulder. "Don't you think he's so awesome?" I asked, winking. Jared's cheeks reddened, but his eyes held indignation. "What do you think? Will I fall for someone simp
