They Gave Our Home to My Sister, I Left Chapter 7
Evelyn’s POVA week later, Harold quietly watched me pick out books in a bookstore."Harold, do you think I'm buying too many of these?"I turned to him and saw the love in his eyes.My heart started pounding, and my face grew hot."Why do you keep staring at me?""Because you're beautiful."Harold pulled me into his arms."Evelyn, this feels like a dream. I thought I'd never get to be with you. Thank you for giving me a chance."I hugged him back."Thank you for waiting so long for me."Harold and I had met through a college club. After that, we'd entered competition after competition on the same team.During competitions, we trusted each other more than anyone else. Outside of them, we were friends who could talk about anything.Garrett had taken time off to attend my graduation.He proposed to me during the ceremony.Everyone smiled and wished us well. Only Harold's smile looked forced.At the party that night, he told me why."Evelyn, you're remarkable. I fell in love with you befo

Garrett's POVWhen Garrett drove back to the house, Evelyn's parents were cleaning up after the workers in the newly redone master bedroom and the small room beside it.The curtains and bedding in the master bedroom were sky blue, Jocelyn's favorite color. The vanity had been custom-built for her.The small bedroom that was supposed to be Evelyn's study was now a walk-in closet filled with Jocelyn's clothes and dresses. The books that had been there had been dumped outside the door.Evelyn's mother put the broom away and saw Garrett and Jocelyn come in with shopping bags.She looked past them."Where's Evelyn? The bridal shop just delivered the dress. They want her to try it on so they can alter it if it doesn't fit."Garrett stopped loosening his tie."She isn't back yet?"He looked around, then pushed open the doors of the other two bedrooms. Both empty. No sign of her.He'd only just calmed down. Now his anxiety was rising again.Evelyn's mother looked confused."No. Weren't the two

Garrett's POVIn the pet clothing store, Garrett trailed after Jocelyn, pushing the cart.He kept checking his phone, growing irritated.Three hours had passed since he'd sent that message.And somehow Evelyn still hadn't answered him.In five years, that had never once happened.Even at their worst, when they weren't speaking, she'd replied within seconds whenever he texted first.Jocelyn was browsing the racks ahead of him and didn't notice anything was wrong.She held up two puppy coats in different colors. "Garrett, which looks better, blue or white?"Normally, seeing her struggle to choose, he'd have said, "Take both," without thinking twice. Now his mind was elsewhere.When he didn't respond, Jocelyn called his name again, puzzled. "Garrett?"Garrett snapped out of it and put his phone in his pocket.He glanced at the two coats she was holding.Then he looked at the rack and spotted a pink one.He pointed to it without thinking."Get the pink one. Evelyn likes pink."Jocelyn's ey

An hour later, they were just about done eating.I was about to stand when another message came in from Harold."I've landed. Where are you?"I sent him my location, and he replied right away. "Wait for me."I put the phone away and saw that they weren't leaving yet.As I wondered what they were waiting for, the door to our private dining room opened. A server carried in a box and set it in front of Jocelyn.She looked genuinely surprised.Garrett smiled as he opened it.When Jocelyn saw what was inside, she threw her arms around Garrett and kissed his cheek in delight."Garrett, how did you know I wanted a dog? I love this surprise!"Garrett hugged her back. "How could I forget anything you tell me?"Beside them, my parents beamed.The four of them looked like a happy, loving family. And I wasn't part of it.The puppy came out of the box and ran to my feet.I quickly covered my nose and kept trying to shoo it away. I accidentally hit it with my foot, and it barked in fright.Jocelyn r

My parents were waiting at the restaurant entrance. When Jocelyn got out of the car, they went over to hug her, smiling.But when they saw me, their smiles froze."What are you doing here?"Realizing how that sounded, they quickly backtracked. "What we mean is, where did you disappear to this afternoon? We looked everywhere for you."They didn't sound convinced themselves, and I didn't call them on it.When we were little, my sister took my doll, and my parents told me not to make a fuss.I ran out angry. By the time I came back, they'd finished dinner.My mother brought me a plate of leftovers and called me selfish. She said I'd worried everyone and they'd spent ages out looking for me.I didn't say anything. I forced down the leftovers despite the lump in my throat.I'd been crouching by the front door the whole time. All they'd had to do was open it to see me.That was the day I accepted that my parents didn't love me.At the table, Jocelyn took the seat in the middle.I was about t

I went back to the rental and started packing.Before long, I heard a key turn in the front door.Garrett came in with a moving crew.He told them to start loading the truck.When I came out of the bedroom, surprise crossed his face."Weren't you at the new house? When did you get back?"He hadn't even noticed when I left.I answered flatly, "Not long ago.""Good, then. There's something I want to tell you."Garrett pulled me aside."From now on, the master bedroom and the small room next to it belong to Jocelyn. Don't go into either room without asking her. You need to respect her space."For a second, I froze. Then I laughed.I was supposed to be his mate, yet I didn't even deserve the master bedroom.Garrett rushed to justify himself, looking guilty."If you hadn't made her cry, none of this would be happening. This is mostly your fault."Let her have those two rooms to make up for it. Evelyn, don't be difficult about this."I looked at him for a long time and couldn't say anything.
