Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 337

Chapter 337: 337-The Venue Full Of Gorgeous People

Helanie:

We had a great time. Emmet was so thoughtful. He talked about so many interesting and engaging topics. His calm and deep voice was so captivating that I could listen to him for hours.

Once we arrived home, we found Maximus taking a walk in the parking area. Of course, he looked anxious. And I knew why.

He had been texting me, asking why I told him I couldn’t go shopping with him but went with his brother instead.

"You go ahead, I’ll bring your bags to your room," Emmet said. He obviously didn’t know Maximus was waiting to confront me and not him. But it worked for me, as it helped me escape quickly.

I got out of the car, watching Maximus stop and glare at me, and then rushed toward the main entrance.

I could tell the brothers had talked.

I was in my room when Emmet knocked on the door with my stuff.

The door was slightly open, but he was a gentleman.

After getting a nod from me, he came inside with the dress in the cover.

"Have a great night, okay?" he said, stepping out. But that’s when Maximus came into view, holding my shoebox and other small bags with the jewelry that Emmet had insisted on buying for me.

I guess Maximus had asked Emmet to let him carry the other bags.

Once he was inside, he put the box and the bags down and stood with his hands on his waist.

His eyes told me he had a lot of complaints about me.

"What is going on with you? You’re acting distant today. Even in the woods, you kept talking about others. Did I do something to upset you?" There was a hint of sadness in Maximus’s voice. But I knew better than to believe him anymore.

He had fooled me before. I wouldn’t let him or anyone else play me again.

"I’m actually really tired these days."

The lack of response from me made him slam the door shut, startling me.

"No, Helanie. You’re lying to me. Something is going on, or else you wouldn’t have gone out with Emmet, spent the entire day with him, and ignored all my texts," he hissed, stepping closer and leaning down to point his finger in my face.

"Now, here’s what’s going to happen. You will tell me what’s really going on with you. I’ll be busy for the next three days, but I want to know the truth," he said in a harsh tone, as if he was genuinely hurt.
