STERLY

Staring at the innocently sleeping Jared in the bed, my chest tightened with complicated feelings.

This omega... what was I supposed to do with him?

He was so young and so innocent, yet I had pulled him into my complicated world, confusing him and using him without conscience.

I stared at my phone's screen. Nate's picture flashed back at me, and my mood turned sour.

Maybe I was being despicable for indulging Jared this way even after I knew how much I still loved Nate. But things had

  • 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

  • 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

    JAREDTime stilled, and so did my thoughts. I watched silently as Nate hugged Sterly tightly and sobbed pitifully on his broad back. Sterly grabbed the thin arms wrapped around his waist and pulled Nate to stand before him. I could no longer see Nate's expression as his whole figure was covered
