JARED'S POV

I patted my belly with satisfaction written across my face.

Mother Juliana had spent a whole hour feeding me, placing different dishes on my plate until I had no means to swallow the food anymore.

Father Leo wasn't any different either. He practically gave me all the meat from his plate. His smile grew bigger as I ate everything he gave, and to not disappoint him, I made sure to eat almost everything he sent to my plate.

I drew in a deep breath, trying to hide my excitement. Across the table, Sterly's face was all red from Drake's endless pestering.

"I want to give Jared that sunset paint. Which do you want?" Drake chirped.

Sterly chewed silently, ignoring Drake.

But Drake wasn't depressed. He laughed and held Sterly's arm. "My darling little brother, won't you make big brother happy? Just a word. Say anything you want, and I'd paint it for you." He pleaded.

I watched with great interest.

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 92: CALLED IN

    JARED"Jared?" The class had only begun for an hour when I heard my name being called. I rubbed my dizzy eyes and pulled away the jacket I rested my head on. Looking around, I saw the bald-headed professor staring at me with a smile on his face. "Jared?" He called again. He walked closer and stood before me. "The Vice Chancellor requests your presence." He said. My heart skipped a beat. The Omega annual event... I had missed it and didn't even call the school to explain. How angry must they be at the moment?I had no idea what to think, and my head was starting to ache. Stephen rubbed my back. "You can call Mr Sterly and ask for his help." He whispered. Hearing that, my eyes lit up, and I immediately brought out my phone from my bag. While doing that, I also kept the jacket, which still had a bit of Sterly's scent on it inside my bag, hoping the scent could be retained longer. "Let's go," I said to the professor and stood up. Nodding at Stephen, I walked toward the professor

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 91: RESUMPTION

    JAREDSterly drove me down to the school and dropped me off at the school gate. Watching as the car drove off, a small smile hung at the corner of my lips while my hands clutched the straps of my backpack... Well... It was Sterly's backpack. The familiar scent of cedarwood surrounded me, creating comfort even in an environment that no longer felt familiar. Right now, only Sterly was familiar. Only his presence could make me feel at peace. This nesting... It was a wonderful thing. After waiting at the gate for more than three minutes, watching as everyone entered and left the school, I still couldn't push down my desire to return home. My lips pursed, thoughts whirling in my mind as I thought of what excuse to make so I could go to Sterly..."Jared?" A cheerful voice called. Turning around, I saw Stephen approaching with a wide smile on his face. He wore a huge hoodie that made him look slimmer than he used to be, along with a scarf around his neck, probably to protect himself

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 90: NESTING

    JAREDTime passed, and it was time to resume again. I stood before the mirror with a dejected expression on my rosy face. Having been deliberately nurtured by Sterly for the past two weeks: eating, sleeping, and even enjoying his massage, my skin had long gotten better and flawless. But none of the radiance that was evident in my eyes for the past two weeks could be seen at this moment. I was pretty sad. Sniffing the air, the nice scent of Sterly's body wash entered my nose, and my gloomy heart slightly calmed. To lessen my sadness, I had used his body wash instead and had even worn his used shirt, but this only helped elevate the loneliness in my heart. This had been really strange to me until a week ago, when I asked the omega doctor about my experience, and he explained it better to me. While the mark on my gland wasn't permanent, it had been done twice, and my heart had also been shaken. "You've entered your nesting period." He'd said. Nesting period... a strange term I h

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 89: EATING

    JARED"You got something for me?"Stephen looked surprised. I was, too. Sterly nodded, rubbing his brows. "Yes. Some baby things were shared during the last parents' ceremony organized by the company." He explained, shrugging. Stephen and I immediately understood. So, after getting those things, instead of sending them to charity homes like most rich bachelors always did, Sterly thought of Stephen instead. A smile bloomed on my face, and I couldn't help but hold Sterly's hand. "Thank you," I mumbled. He nodded, his expression as calm as always. Stephen also bowed slightly. "Thanks, Mr Sterly." He appreciated. Sterly nodded at him, ruffled my hair, and headed toward the kitchen. Knowing what he wanted to do, I thought of stopping him but soon thought against it and sat down instead. Stephen also had his seat. "He's so cool." He commented. Pride welled up within me as I nodded. "Didn't Ryan get those things, too?" This had belatedly crossed my mind. If those things were shared

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 88: STEPHEN

    JAREDSeeing Stephen's state, I snapped out of my daze and took his hand to lead him in. Looking around, I realised he had come alone, which surprised me a little as Ryan had always been with him since he got pregnant. I took him to the couch and helped him sit. Stephen grunted with each step. He breathed in relief when he finally sat on the couch, and he closed his eyes, relaxing his whole body like he had no strength. My brows furrowed. The pregnancy shouldn't be more than three months. Why was Stephen so exhausted already? I went in to boil water for him and handed it over. "Take this," I said, sitting beside him. I watched as he drank the water, and his pale face finally regained some color. He dropped the cup and shook his head. "This place is really far. I thought I could get it with the description you gave to me, but even after getting down at the junction, I had to walk for twenty minutes before I could get here." He exclaimed, removing his sweatshirt, and left a white

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 87: COOKING

    JARED"Yes, porridge is good," I replied, hiding half of my face under the duvet as if that would cover the dirty thoughts in my head. Sterly didn't seem to notice anything as he nodded his head and turned around to leave. "You should rest. I will wake you up when I'm done." He said when he got to the door. "Hm." Then, he opened the door and left. Watching the closed door that separated me from Sterly, unwillingness brewed in my heart, and the sleepiness immediately disappeared. Without thinking twice, I removed the duvet covering me up and climbed down from the bed. The sore pain from my waist has greatly reduced, but walking is still a bit painful. I endured and slowly put on oversized pajamas. After that, I fixed my hair with my fingers and rushed out of the room. I made my way downstairs and rested my back on the kitchen door as I watched Sterly cook. Noticing my presence, he glanced at me and raised a brow. "Why are you here? I thought you wanted to sleep." He said. I c
