Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244: 244-A Fake Jacket Holder

Helanie:

"Penn, come over here," Jenny waved her hand at her brother to get his attention. As he acknowledged her and gave her a blank look, her pleasant smile started to deteriorate.

She lowered in her seat and looked down while her brother approached our table.

"Where were you the whole night, Jenny? Dad, Mom, and I had been so worried about you. You never left the pack without informing anyone. What if something bad had happened to you?" Penn hissed at his sister, who kept lowering her head as if she was afraid if she met his eyes, he would find out the truth about her.

"She was with me at the trainer’s mansion," as soon as I lied for her, she raised her face and gave me a smile. Along with that, Penn looked less angry all of a sudden.

"The trainers are giving me therapy, so—I needed a friend on my side too," I kept lying and noticed how effortlessly I was doing it now.

"Oh," Penn cleared his throat, "then you should have at least informed us. Jenny, we were so scared for you," his tone had shifted now that he knew his sister didn’t spend the night lurking around.

Aside from that, his eyes kept moving to Lamar, and a frown would appear on his forehead. He made no effort in hiding his disdain for Lamar.

"Anyway, let’s go make a call to Mom and Dad first, and then we can join them," Penn held his phone for her even when she had her phone with her. Jenny excused herself and left after him, but now I was going to confront Lamar about his relationship with Jenny.

I thought she was at odds with him after what he did to her last time.

"So?" I asked, folding my arms over my chest and leaning back in my seat.

"She is cute and just a friend. But—," he leaned over from across the table to whisper the rest of what he had to say, "there is something about her that compels me to bow down before her. Like, I knew she was off-limits now but—her scent, her cute little pout, and—," he shut up after finding me raising my eyebrows at him.

"So you like her?" I inquired, giving him a look that made him visibly lower his eyes.

"Umm, as a friend, yes," he added with shame in his eyes.

I wondered what was going on between the two of them. I mean, I would much rather want to see Jenny with Lamar, who would love and care for her. But only if he doesn’t cheat on her.

Rayden was a mess and did not deserve her or anyone else. He deserved punishment. He was a rapist and a murderer.

I scoffed under my breath at the recollection before my eyes moved to Lamar, who had turned his neck back to stare at Jenny.

She had come back in after making a call and now stood in front of the counter to place an order for all of us.

"I’ll go help her out," Lamar whispered, stealing a glance from me as he rushed to meet her.
