last update Last Updated: 2025-12-18 03:06:33

JARED

We returned to the house at 10 in the evening.

Juliana and Leo were both watching a festive family drama. Juliana was in Leo's arms, and they were both laughing.

Seeing that, the four of us shared a glance and anonymously decided not to interrupt the two lovers.

"Good night," I said first.

The rest nodded, and after a brief hug among the siblings, we found our way to our various rooms.

I would be spending the night in Sterly's room.

After taking a shower, I returned to the room with a bathrobe wrapped around my body while wiping my hair.

"I'm done," I said to Sterly, who was typing away on his phone.

He was used to it.

Any given opportunity would be used to work.

Hearing my voice, he raised his head and nodded. "Okay." He replied and stood up.

Sterly walked past me, and his pheromone slightly wafted into my nose.

My brows creased.

Sterly had never been so careless... Why would his pheromone leak out?

But I shrug and push the thought down.

Maybe he was just tired.

    JAREDI alighted from Sterly's car and waved at him. "See you in the evening," I said excitedly. Sterly also waved in return. "Okay. Good luck with your test." He said. A smile formed on my face. Though the test was annoying and I'd have complained about a test coming up in only a week, close to the exam, but seeing Sterly complaining for me earlier in the day, all I felt now was amusement and excitement. Early this morning, Sterly had removed the book I slept on and ruffled my hair gently. "Your school is too stressful. Do you want to change school?" Seeing the seriousness in his eyes when he asked, I couldn't hold back my laughter. "Your exams are coming up in a week, right?" Sterly suddenly asked. I snapped out of my thoughts and nodded at him. "Yes, and it ends in two weeks. Our vacation starts in less than a month." I explained, resting my arms on the car. Sterly's eyes lingered on me, and his tone t

    JAREDMy heart trembled. Pregnancy?How? When?I stared at her with a parted jaw, unable to say anything for a moment. "Mum, you think Jared is pregnant?" Drake's voice broke the silence, and I turned to look at them, only to see the whole family standing at the entrance. They all looked at me with sparkling eyes, their face brightening and excited. "Really? I'm going to have a granddaughter?" Leo exclaimed, his excitement leaking from his voice. Juliana snorted. "It's a grandson." She retorted. Linda crossed her arms, her lips pursed, but the excitement in her eyes was almost overflowing. "This is nice..." "He's not pregnant." A cold and firm voice interrupted. My eyes twitched. "Sterly, maybe..." Juliana tried to talk. Sterly stared at her. His expression was unreadable. "He's not." He replied again. My heart sank. My parted lips slowly closed, and sadness welled up in my heart. Sterly's words were like a thousand knives breaking past my heart. It was painful. I star

    JAREDAfter the meal, we all relaxed in the sitting room. I sat with my legs sprawled, unable to support my big belly. Juliana had been rubbing for a while, hoping to ease my discomfort, and fortunately, it seemed to be helping. Seeing that everyone was relaxed enough, I shifted in my seat, resting my head on Juliana's arm. "Sterly and I...""Yes, Jared, mum got you guys some things." Juliana beat me to it. My lips pursed as I raised my eyes to look at her. But she didn't seem to notice the wronged expression on my face as she smiled excitedly. "Drake, Linda, go and bring the things we got." She ordered. Drake and Linda were eager. They both went to bring them. Not long after, the two Alphas returned with different bags in hand and dropped them at the empty space in the sitting room. Half of the space was filled with gifts. "These are for us?" I asked in bewilderment.

    JAREDAfter getting a few things in the supermarket for Sterly's family, we drove down to their house. Getting there, my anxiety spiked, but Sterly continued holding my hand. Since we left the supermarket, he seemed to have sensed my thought and never let go of my hand as if to give me silent comfort. Which was really appreciated. He stopped the car before his family's house, and as expected, his family was already standing outside with bright smiles on their faces. Seeing their welcoming and excited faces, a smile also formed on my face, successfully washing away my fear and anxiety. When Sterly stopped the car, I removed my hand from his and quickly stepped out of the car to approach Juliana, his mother. "Oh, my darling." Juliana beamed and walked over. She hugged me warmly, her hand stroking my back. She held my shoulders, checked me over, and her brows creased. "Why have you lost so much weight? Is Sterly not feeding you well?" I giggled. "No, mum. Sterly has been good."

    JARED"Jared."Sterly's voice rang in my ears.I yawned and rolled around in bed, ignoring the voice."Jared?"He called again.Biting my lower lip, I forced my eyes open and looked at him.My body ached and was extremely sore. After screaming and sobbing for almost all night, my estrus seemed to be finally over, but I really didn't want to wake up.Especially when I thought about what we had to do today."Can we go later?" I asked, blinking hard.Sterly's lips twitched. He seemed to be holding back a smile as he held my hand and gently squeezed. "It's already noon." He replied.My eyes widened. "Noon?" I asked in disbelief."Oh no. Your mum must be waiting already."The sleepiness seemed to have disappeared as I rushed up from the bed. "I will take a bath first," I said, already making my way into the bathroom.
