Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242: 242-That Pregnancy Test

Emmet:

"What about Rayden’s father? Did he respond to the letter?" I asked and noticed my brothers shared yet another glance that confused me.

They always spoke with their eyes. It’s not that I didn’t notice, but there was no point in highlighting it when they wouldn’t be honest about what was brewing in their heads.

But I didn’t hate them for it—they were my life. But if they found out my truth, they would be petrified.

"No! But he will. That Rayden shouldn’t have participated in the slander of his mate’s friend," Kaye groaned angrily, his eyes showing that if he could, he would punish Rayden himself.

I watched their faces for a minute to see if anyone had noticed what I had.

"Don’t you think that is weird?" I uttered, extending my hand for the pancakes, when Maximax pulled the plate away, making me raise my eyes to meet his.

"First explain—what do you mean?" Maximus groaned, already giving his full attention. I didn’t want to hurt my brothers, but that is what it is now. I didn’t have any energy in my body to argue with anyone.

"That Rayden guy—ever since he arrived, he’s targeted Helanie. His first day with the juniors, I found him bothering Helanie with the lockers," I explained, and my brothers started to pay more attention.

As their interest piqued, I reached over for the plate and got it successfully.

"When you first arrive at a place where your mate is, you instantly start impressing the friends, not blocking their paths and making them uncomfortable," I explained, their eyes still on me.

"Say more, I want to know what you’ve noticed," Maximus insisted, and I continued.

"Every time Rayden is in view, Helanie loses her natural aura. She turns pale, and her eyes linger on him every once in a while. Not to mention, he carries a smirk on his face whenever he interacts with her." I wasn’t done yet, but I found Kaye and Maximus sharing a glance, probably remembering the details of their own encounters with Rayden.

"We might have noticed something too." Now that the attention was brought to the issue, they were focusing on recalling everything that might have struck them as odd.

"Ah! That’s why he was trying so hard to make Helanie uncomfortable about Lucy’s fall," Kaye groaned, fisting his palm.

"How the heck did we miss that?" Maximus asked himself, almost like he was so angry that he forgot to speak with his wolf in silence.

Now it was good that my brothers were taking it seriously, but the way they were taking it seriously shocked me. They were so attentive—but since when?

If I remember correctly, the reason Helanie had left this mansion to begin with was because of these two. One of them chased after her like crazy, while the other accused her of being the reason Dad found out he had brought a she-wolf home.

"Well, I’m not sure about the two of you, but I’ll be keeping my eye on Rayden, and I suggest you two make him busy too. So busy that he doesn’t have time to do anything funky with Helanie," I told them my decision.

She had all these loose strands of hair on her face, with curtain bangs that were always playing on her cheeks. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}
