HIS RELUCTANT MATE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

JARED Stephen stood and came to sit beside me. "You heard what she said. If you want, I can join any of the classes with you." He said, still chewing his food. My lips pursed. As much as I would have loved to continue living a free life, I knew I had to follow the rules. I picked up my phone to search online. What was the essence of the fitness classes on Omegas?Stephen also stretched his neck to read with me. "It helps omegas manage their estrus period and enhance their fertility. With fitness classes, omegas can keep themselves fit, helping them keep their pheromones under control even when sweaty." Stephen read it out. While I read inwardly. "Benefits of fitness classes..." I flipped the phone over on the table and closed my eyes to suppress the headache that was growing. "What do you think? Do I have to join?" I asked wearily. I really didn't want to...Stephen patted my shoulder calmly. "I understand your plight, but I think you have to. You are a newly presented omega, a

JAREDThe test began and ended just as fast. The professor kept glancing at me all through, and when we submitted, he gestured for me to wait. After arranging the papers, he approached and said with a smile: "Jared, will Mr Sterly pick you up this afternoon?" My brows twitched. So, Stephen was indeed right..."I don't know," I replied with a polite smile. "Mr Sterly is a busy man." Though he picked me up every day from school, I couldn't expect him not to miss a day. He was a workaholic, and I understood his plight. But the professor's smile didn't falter as he nodded in understanding. "If you have time, just let him know that Professor Leo says his greetings." He said, laughed, and walked away. I kept nodding until he disappeared from my view. Only then did Stephen approach and take my school bag from me. "He's all about Mr Sterly, right?" He asked. I nodded, still

JARED"Jared." Sterly's voice rang in my ears. I yawned and rolled around in bed, ignoring the voice. "Jared?" He called again. Biting my lower lip, I forced my eyes open and looked at him. My body ached and was extremely sore. After screaming and sobbing for almost all night, my estrus seemed to be finally over, but I really didn't want to wake up. Especially when I thought about what we had to do today. "Can we go later?" I asked, blinking hard. Sterly's lips twitched. He seemed to be holding back a smile as he held my hand and gently squeezed. "It's already noon." He replied. My eyes widened. "Noon?" I asked in disbelief. "Oh no. Your mum must be waiting already." The sleepiness seemed to have disappeared as I rushed up from the bed. "I will take a bath first," I said, already making my way into the bathroom.

JAREDAfter the meal, we all relaxed in the sitting room. I sat with my legs sprawled, unable to support my big belly. Juliana had been rubbing for a while, hoping to ease my discomfort, and fortunately, it seemed to be helping. Seeing that everyone was relaxed enough, I shifted in my seat, resting my head on Juliana's arm. "Sterly and I...""Yes, Jared, mum got you guys some things." Juliana beat me to it. My lips pursed as I raised my eyes to look at her. But she didn't seem to notice the wronged expression on my face as she smiled excitedly. "Drake, Linda, go and bring the things we got." She ordered. Drake and Linda were eager. They both went to bring them. Not long after, the two Alphas returned with different bags in hand and dropped them at the empty space in the sitting room. Half of the space was filled with gifts. "These are for us?" I asked in bewilderment.

JAREDMy heart trembled. Pregnancy?How? When?I stared at her with a parted jaw, unable to say anything for a moment. "Mum, you think Jared is pregnant?" Drake's voice broke the silence, and I turned to look at them, only to see the whole family standing at the entrance. They all looked at me with sparkling eyes, their face brightening and excited. "Really? I'm going to have a granddaughter?" Leo exclaimed, his excitement leaking from his voice. Juliana snorted. "It's a grandson." She retorted. Linda crossed her arms, her lips pursed, but the excitement in her eyes was almost overflowing. "This is nice..." "He's not pregnant." A cold and firm voice interrupted. My eyes twitched. "Sterly, maybe..." Juliana tried to talk. Sterly stared at her. His expression was unreadable. "He's not." He replied again. My heart sank. My parted lips slowly closed, and sadness welled up in my heart. Sterly's words were like a thousand knives breaking past my heart. It was painful. I star
