Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149: 149-The Broken Bond Cannot Be Fixed

Helanie:

I can’t even remember how I spent the night. I was in and out of sleep the whole time. It felt like I had lost something.

Even though I hadn’t entirely fallen for Kaye and had resisted the urge to be with him, his constant reminders of his love for me made me believe he was going to wait for me no matter what.

Which was kind of selfish of me. I’m not sure what kind of troubles and hurdles he was facing in his personal life.

Just like I wouldn’t let him in, he wasn’t letting me in either.

And then there was the fact that I never shared the truth with him. I kept so much from him, so it was only fair that I didn’t judge him for not wanting to wait. In fact, he did say he would wait, but he also made it clear that he wouldn’t just sit and do nothing while waiting for me.

But with dating, there’s always a chance of falling in love and moving on from the one you are waiting for. That’s why I told him to move on. I didn’t want to believe someone was waiting for me.

I had been hurt enough times, so it was better to take out the poison before it hurt me even more.

"Good morning," Jenny finally walked out of the bathroom wearing a purple dress.

It felt more like a chill day for us. We were only supposed to do some research on the herbs Kaye had mentioned in the class group text.

"You look good, Lucy!" Gavin, who had been all handsy with Lucy since morning as the two shared a bed and cuddled while doing research, said loudly. "Why don’t you wear something like that?"

Lamar had finally gotten a separate bed, where he was lying on his stomach with a piece of paper in front of him and searching for herbs online.

Jenny and I were now sharing a bed. But that wasn’t the problem. The problem was the way Gavin mentioned Jenny’s dress.

It was just a simple compliment, but why say it in front of your mate? He knew this wasn’t Lucy’s style. And he had always admired her style more, but suddenly, he wanted her to wear dresses.

Lucy forced an awkward smile and replied, "I’ll see if I can find a dress."

"Or you can borrow from me. In return, you just have to be my friend," Jenny added with a playful hint in her words.

I had been trying so hard to focus on the task at hand, but the conversation I had with Kaye kept repeating in my head.

I wondered if I should have said more or asked more.

What if the conversation didn’t end on a good note? Or a satisfying one?

"Ugh!" I put the notebook down and sighed loudly enough to get everyone’s attention.

"You can get a dress too," Jenny joked at my outburst.

"No! It’s not that. I just have a headache," I lied, rubbing my temples.
