Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 425

Chapter 425: 425-They Have A Bastard In Their Family

Helanie:

After our discussion, Lamar took his bike to follow us while Jenny drove the car since Salem and Gavin sat in the backseat to talk privately.

"Do you think they’re going to kiss?" Jenny whispered to me, making me smile through the pain. It was nice to have my friends with me—they cheered me up so quickly.

"I hope they do—" I had only said that much when I suddenly heard them moan and kiss passionately in the backseat.

"Well," Jenny laughed, and I joined her.

"Are you okay, though? It must have been hard for you to face them again," Jenny uttered, her voice sad as she recalled the events from earlier.

"You know—the shock only lasts a few seconds now," I replied.

"Do you think Iado betrayed you? Those names were wrong, and these two knew exactly where to find you," she continued, and I kept looking outside the window in confusion.

"I think I’m going to tell Professor Emmet about my past." The decision just came to me naturally. Since my secret was already spreading, it was better to tell him myself.

But I was afraid of his reaction. Somehow, I believed he wouldn’t disappoint me, but I worried about how well he would take it. Would he be able to control his anger?

I knew he cared about me, but what if—what if he lost control and took whatever steps he thought were necessary?

"Are you sure about that?" Jenny asked, and I nodded.

"What do you want me to do, then?" she asked, and with a very heavy heart, I responded.

"Drop me off at the trail. I’m texting Emmet to meet me in the woods," I said, realizing that talking to him in a private place would be a good idea.

However, before I could contact him, I received a call from Lord McQuoid.

"Helena, where are you?" He sounded cheerful—almost happy.

"I’m heading to my hostel. Why? Is everything okay?" I asked, noticing the weather turning bad. It was such a mess every night. The weather could never stay consistent.

"We’re having a family dinner tonight, and I wanted to invite you over. Please come. I would really like it, and I’m sure your stepbrothers will too," he insisted, sounding so sweet and excited.

"I—" I sighed, not really feeling up for any family events.

"Please? Don’t make an old man beg for you," he let out a laugh, and I reluctantly agreed. The kids would be there, so maybe I would feel a little better. Besides, seeing Emmet might help, too.

"Okay, you don’t have to do that. I respect you a lot. I’ll come," I said, noticing Gavin stopping the whole makeout session and Jenny slightly turning her head toward me.

"Where are you going?" Jenny questioned once I hung up the call.

"Lord McQuoid invited me to a family dinner tonight, and he wasn’t taking no for an answer," I pouted sadly, but I could tell Jenny and the others thought it was a good idea.

"That will help with your mood. You shouldn’t be alone right now," Jenny said.

It was a joke to me too. _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}
