All Chapters of HIS RELUCTANT MATE: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

STEPHEN The baby cooed as she sucked the preserved breastmilk in the feeder with delight on her face. I poked her soft cheek and laughed excitedly. She was so cute. "Here." I heard Ryan's voice and nodded. Without looking at him, I opened my mouth, and a sweet candy entered my mouth. I sucked on it and continued blinking at the baby, who kept smiling. She was so good at smiling. Exactly like Jared... Ryan positioned the feeder into her mouth and had his arm wrapped around my waist, slowly massaging it. My body trembled at his touch, and my eyes misted over. Glancing at Ryan, I saw his handsome face covered in a small smile that made him radiate with light. My body suddenly grew hot. It had been over a year since we last did anything...Ryan seemed to notice my gaze as he raised his eyes to look at me, and our eyes met. Sparks seemed to fly in the air. I swallowed, feeling dry and uncomfortable. "Stephen?" My mother's voice broke the tension in the air, and I blinked,

JAREDA cold towel was pressed on my forehead, and every minute, I would hear Stephen's voice whispering something to me. But I felt delirious. His words didn't seem to reach my ears. My heart felt tight and unbearable. I wanted... I wanted to see Sterly. I needed Sterly. "Sterly." I felt myself whisper out in a low voice. "Sterly?" I heard Stephen ask. I nodded my head weakly. I really wanted to see Sterly. "I will call him right away," Stephen replied. Realizing I could finally hear Stephen's words, the despair in my heart seemed to reduce, and I moved my head restlessly, trying to push away the uncomfortable cold compress on my forehead. Stephen held it back. "No, your temperature is too high. If you don't get better in a few hours, I will have to take you to the hospital." I heard him say. "A few hours? What if he dies here? He's burning red already." Nate shouted beside my ear. A slap came next. "Shut up and get out!" Stephen growled in a low voice. Listening to t

JARED By the time Stephen stood up to leave, it was already late at night, and I was starting to worry about his daughter. "I'm fine, really. Jarelle must be waiting for you by now." I pointed out for the umpteenth time as Stephen kept lingering around, obviously intending to stay longer. Stephen's lips pressed into a thin line. "She's with Ryan and my mother." He mentioned. I rolled my eyes and sneered. "Is that the same as having you around? Also, there's Sterly here to take care of me." I replied to him. Stephen pursed his lips and stood up. He dropped the towel in his hand at the edge of the bed and stroked my hair. "You should be fine, okay?" He mumbled. "Don't let that shrewd bastard do anything to you... No, you should call me if he did anything. I can always come over to give him a few slaps." He said aggressively. My lips twitched at his words, and I couldn't help but smile. I nodded, raised my hand to pat Stephen's hand, and gestured for him to leave already. He'd b

JAREDPain flashed across Sterly's eyes as he looked deeply into my eyes. I had no idea what he intended to find, but my emotions were currently sealed beneath a warm smile. His body stirred, and I released the hold on him. He stood up and rubbed his brows with a weak expression on his face. "Soon," He mumbled, turned around, and walked out of my room. I watched as he closed the door behind him, and a small smile appeared on my lips. This was enough for me. I wasn't expecting him to make a promise. No, I wasn't expecting him to assure me with his love. If he had done that, I would have been disappointed... well... there was no way Sterly could be so flawed. But the pain in his eyes was real. The sigh that escaped his lips was real, too. So, Sterly wasn't without any feelings toward me. This was really good. I sat up in bed and picked up my phone from the bedside stand. My fingers hovered on the screen as I searched for Stephen's line and dialed it. The call was soon answered

JAREDI found my way into Sterly's office and saw my man sitting behind his desk with his gaze focused on his laptop. It wasn't my first time entering his office as I had spent the last two weeks preparing lunch for him and bringing it to his office. But it was the first time I had visited with a 'bad' motive in mind. I bit my lower lip as I quietly approached his desk and gave a soft knock. Sterly's lips twitched as he raised his eyes to look at me and tilted his head as if he had just noticed my presence. I chuckled, inwardly wondering when Sterly began understanding humor and even trying it out. But this was good. He was no longer the icy-faced alpha but more like a human... with a sense of humor and a more vivid expression. I stepped closer to him and sat on his lap. My hands wrapped around his neck as I looked into his eyes. "Sterly, are you going to a banquet anytime soon?" I asked almost nervously. What if Sterly asked me how I knew? It would be too embarrassing to tell
