Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 468

Chapter 468: 468-The Groom-To-Be

Helanie:

As soon as I saw Emmet square up, I gestured at him with my hand. I got this.

"I was talking to him. Why? Have you never seen two people talk before? Or did you think that just because I’m their stepsister, we can’t even have a conversation? Exactly how dirty is your mind?" Since she was gaslighting me, I decided to do the same.

"As for Kaye, it doesn’t matter what ceremony he complains about his discomfort at—he deserves all the attention. We will continue to focus on his health first, and I’m sure Norman would do the same." I used Norman’s name since she had manipulated Kaye into staying quiet for Norman’s sake.

I hated Kesha. At least Charlotte would show some emotions and reactions, but Kesha wouldn’t. She would instantly glare people down as if she was planning something big in her head. That was what made me so uncomfortable.

"Anyway, you should head back to the party," Emmet waved his hand at Kesha, who stared at his hand and then at his face—almost like she was absorbing the insult.

She was so odd and crazy.

As soon as she stepped aside and turned around, I heard her let out a small yelp—from nearly bumping into someone.

She stepped back and then turned to us, making us see Kaye standing in the doorway.

His eyes landed on me, then moved to his brother before settling on Kesha.

"It’s okay, I don’t get insulted so easily," Kesha hissed, but I could hear the lie in her tone. She was definitely offended.

She grabbed Kaye’s arm and dragged him behind her. I wondered—what really happened here?

"It’s fine. I’ll speak with him," Emmet gave me a look of understanding.

"But we didn’t say anything wrong, did we?" I thought about my conversation with Kesha. Not once did I say anything that would insult Kaye.

Maybe he was upset about us talking back to Kesha.

We both walked out of the kitchen, but as soon as we were in the living room, Maximus stepped between us. There was definitely space between us, but I knew what he was doing. However, I was distracted by Kaye and Kesha.

I saw Kaye standing next to his brother, who was introducing him to some lady, while Kesha stood in the corner of the living room by the bar. The moment her eyes landed on Kaye, I noticed Kaye start to touch his collar a lot—almost like he was undoing the buttons of his shirt. He was even sweating.

Winter was over, but there was no way he should be sweating like that when summer hadn’t even arrived yet. Besides, they had air conditioning in every room and space.

"Baby!"

Just when I thought I could focus more on the weird couple, I heard Charlotte come up beside us.

I could see her through my peripheral vision, but I acted like I was oblivious to her.

"Charlotte, my dear," Maximus’s tone shocked me. That was when I couldn’t help but turn my neck toward the couple. Even Emmet was watching them in confusion.

My eyes went back to Kaye and Kesha, and Kaye was dripping with sweat, constantly rubbing his face with a tissue, itching the tattoo on his neck, and pulling at his collar as if he was having a hard time breathing. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}
