Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408: 408-Dating Her To Earn Her Forgiveness

Helanie:

I was stunned. It was new for Lucy to have a guy in her room, but I guess that was one of the changes she had made about herself.

"Sorry! I didn’t know you had a guy over—" I bit my tongue, realizing I was probably interrupting Lucy’s private moment.

However, as the guy broke the kiss and turned around, I froze in my tracks and did a double take. One foot was already out the door when I realized who it was.

"Gavin?" I gasped, looking at the two of them making out. Lucy ran her thumb over her bottom lip and smirked, while Gavin stood up to face me.

"You know what—forget it," I hissed, waving my hand dismissively. I was so done with them.

"Helanie, please listen to me," Gavin tried to step in my way, wanting to talk, but I dodged him and rushed to the bathroom.

"Gavin! You don’t have to explain your relationship to her or anyone. Why is she trying to control your life?" I had expected Lucy to say something like that.

I slammed the bathroom door shut and leaned against it.

"Lucy! What have I told you about my friends? You will not talk badly about them," Gavin yelled at Lucy, and then I heard murmurs—mostly Lucy trying to keep her voice down while talking to Gavin.

But my mind was busy thinking about Benita. She had no morals.

I stayed in the bathroom for a good ten minutes, and by then, everything outside had gone silent. When I walked out with my hair still wet, I noticed Gavin was the only one who had stayed behind.

"Gavin, please, I am not ready for a conversation." I knew he had waited to talk to me about the little scene I had just witnessed.

"But I want to talk to you," he said, getting up from Lamar’s bed. I didn’t want to talk to him, but I couldn’t shut him down when he wanted to explain himself.

"Okay, why?" I asked, facing him and sounding exhausted.

"I had a reason," he said. "This is my redemption."

I had a feeling his words had a deeper meaning, so I kept watching his face as he explained.

"I asked her what I could do to earn her forgiveness, and she said—" he paused before finishing, "I have to date her until she decides to break up."

I was shocked and couldn’t believe he had agreed to something like that.
