All Chapters of HIS RELUCTANT MATE: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

JAREDI stared at the screen with a dazed expression on my face, and my head ached slightly. Cindy's voice on the phone, though familiar, was cracking. She sounded like she was crying...I gripped my phone tightly. Many times, my fingers hovered on the screen, but I stopped myself from calling. Cindy didn't call me with her line and even ended the call before I could talk, which meant she wasn't able to speak to someone. Calling her back could put her in trouble. Especially if she secretly used someone else's phone. I bit my lower lip as my heart raced. Cindy..."Jared, are you okay?"Shawn's voice sounded in my ears. Raising my head, I saw Shawn at the entrance of the control room with questions all over his face. I showed him my screen and shook my head. "Cindy called," I mumbled. Shawn's eyes widened. He rushed forward. "What did she say? Is she alright?" I shook my head. "I don't know. She told me she would see us when she had the time and ended the call before I could s

JAREDI stared at the couple with confusion in my eyes while my heart raced abnormally. Even though they hadn't said a word, a bad feeling already rose from the deepest part of my heart, and seeing them made my body turn cold. I exhaled shakily and slowly shook my head. This wasn't right. I shouldn't be so scared. I shouldn't be so affected. Even if..."Who are you?" The cleaning lady asked. Her voice brought me back to my senses, and I also raised a brow toward the couple. The couple glanced at the lady and rolled their eyes. The woman turned to look at me and revealed a bitter smile. "Jared?" She called almost shakily. My heart thumped. My lips parted, letting out shallow breath as I nodded my head. The woman's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears rolled down her face. "Jared..." She called as she stepped forward, approaching me. That face... that expression... it looked too much like mine. The woman had curly long hair, a small delicate face, and dark green eyes. She wa

JAREDSterly had taken us to the hospital for the test, and when we were done, we all returned home together. Considering my feelings, Sterly made them follow in another car, and we only met when we got home. The woman, Lynn, took my hand in hers as she led me toward her room for the night. "Jared, I know it's hard for you to accept us now, but we will try our best to prove our worth, okay?" She said, tears brewing in her eyes again. She had cried so much that her eyes were already swollen. Seeing her this way made my heart ache for her. I patted her shoulder and forced a small smile. "It's okay. Everything will be fine soon enough." Even though I wanted to put an end to everything. I wanted her to stop crying, but it wasn't easy for me...I really couldn't comfort her with the words she wanted to hear the most. She smiled brightly and touched my cheek. Her warm hand rubbed gently before she pulled back. "Thank you, son. Thank you for not sending us away." She blinked back he

JAREDThe man patted my shoulder, attracting my attention. "Is he treating you well?""He's a lot richer and more powerful. He must look down on an omega with no family." "I'm sorry, son. It's my fault. I should have found you sooner." The man's tone showed bitterness. The woman shook her head. "That's not right. Even if we found him earlier, we are still nothing compared to the Brighton family." "They can still look down on us." She pointed out. The man sighed deeply. "Rich people..."I stood up and ran my fingers through my hair. Frustration flashed across my eyes, and I closed my eyes briefly. "I will return to my room for now," I said, and without waiting for them to stop me, I walked away from the sitting room. Thinking back to their earlier conversation, all I felt was discomfort and anger. Maybe it was because it was the first time someone ever talked to me about such a conversation, but I honestly didn't find it pleasant. They might be my parents, but what right did t

JAREDAfter being rescued from the haunted house, we left the amusement park with red cheeks. Unable to hold it in until we return, I picked up my phone and told Sterly everything that happened. I could imagine his amused expression even from the messages he sent. I laughed, too. Honestly, it was fun. Everything we did in the amusement park was fun, and even the haunted house was a memory I wouldn't want to forget. I glanced at the couple sitting in front of the car, and a smile slowly formed on my face. Yes, this wasn't exactly bad. It was way better than I expected. The woman seemed to notice my gaze. She turned around and smiled at me. "Jared, do you want to eat something?""We still have to go to the clothing store. If you are hungry, should we branch out to a restaurant to eat, or do you want Mummy to quickly go back home to prepare something for you?" She asked softly. My lips pursed. "I'm okay," I replied. Her eyes dimmed. "You don't want mummy's food? It's been two
