Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 417

Chapter 417: 417-My Mate Says She Is Better Than Me

Helanie:

"Really?" I was hurt but masked the frustration with a shocked look on my face.

"Then reject me and be happy with her."

I expected him to reject me out of anger and free me from this pain of jealousy, even though I didn’t want to be jealous of him.

"You would think it would be that easy?" he laughed to himself, clicking his tongue. We both went silent before he continued, "I didn’t mean to say those words." _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

That was unexpected, but maybe he would add something to insult me more, like a surprise humiliation.

"That’s nothing new with you," I groaned.

"I’m serious. I don’t know what it is about you—," he paused, and I wondered what he was going to say next, "that gets under my skin."

"All I can think about is hurting you and strangling—" he shut up before he could panic me more.

What the heck was he talking about?

I had no words to speak after what he said.

"That is why I believe you should just stay away from me," it didn’t make sense. In one breath, he was talking about me staying away from him, while in the other, he offered to drop me home.

"You should have told your father that you couldn’t drop me off," I hissed.

"I know. I just don’t know why I accepted the offer. I guess I just want to—I want to live happily with Kesha," his tone changed, and my jaw clenched.

"She is so sweet and humble, unlike you," the straightforwardness from him was affecting me. He was happy with her, good for him. But he didn’t have to put me down to raise her up.

"She doesn’t go around falling in love with others or lying to them—" he closed his eyes and then cleared his throat, looking around in confusion.

"Just shut up," he said, causing me to frown because I wasn’t even talking. It was the most odd drive I’ve ever had to share with anyone.

Thankfully, we didn’t speak for the rest of the ride. But when we arrived at the hostel, I saw Rudy and his group sitting on the front porch, enjoying the rain from afar.

"You said you were headed over to the academy to grab something? I have to get my notebook from my locker too," even when I didn’t want to speak another word to Kaye, it was also true that I wanted to avoid Rudy and the other top seniors. I wasn’t very happy with how he had been acting lately.

"Okay," Kaye said, turning towards the academy’s driveway.

Once he parked, I jumped out and rushed towards the entrance, standing there and waiting for Kaye. He took his sweet time, strolling while the rain fell on him.

He arrived and opened the door for me.

I had already informed Lamar that I would be late so that he wouldn’t go picking me up from the mansion.
