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
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

JARED'S POV I wiped my face, threw the wipe into the mini dustbin at the back of the car, and returned with a red face. Sterly's eyes stayed on me, and he only looked away when I settled down. "What would you like to eat?" He asked calmly. My lips moved. I felt flustered. Having bawled in Sterl

JARED'S POV"Huh? Did Stephen say Jared is married?""He's only twenty, right? Why is he in so much haste to get married?" "Isn't he a beta? What's the hurry?" Murmurs filled the class immediately after Stephen's outburst, and I felt the urge to curse out loud. I glared at Stephen, whose fingers

JARED'S POV "I'm not." The word wouldn't stop ringing in my head even as he drove me down to my school. I couldn't decide if I was disappointed or not, but one thing was certain, I wasn't exactly happy. When I asked that question, even though a part of me kept telling me Sterly wouldn't enter t

JARED'S POV I slumped lazily in bed and rolled around. The bed was softer than I ever could have imagined, highlighting the vast power of money. I groaned and turned. My body ached. After staying with Sterly's family for the whole day, my entire body ached from all the excitement, and I felt fa
