Chapter 0231 Gavin : Sorry I couldnt come over last night .<\/p>\n
Id like to see you tonight though .<\/p>\n
Dinner tonight ? I couldnt help the smile that lit up my face .<\/p>\n
I pressed the reply button and typed out my own message .<\/p>\n
Me : That sounds great ! I pressed send and then I quickly got out of bed .<\/p>\n
I didnt bother changing out of my pajamas as I left my room and went down the stairs and towards the kitchen .<\/p>\n
My stomach was growling considering I hadnt eaten last night .noveldrama<\/p>\n
I hoped Chester was well enough to cook breakfast ; if not , I guess Ill just have to cook it myself .<\/p>\n
I was honestly surprised when I saw him hard at work in the kitchen .<\/p>\n
There was no one else with him though .<\/p>\n
I glanced around the kitchen , wondering where the kitchen adds were but when I didnt see them , my eyes found Chesters .<\/p>\n
He had paused his movements behind the counter , and I could see that he was contemplating asking me something , but then he changed his mind and turned his attention back to what he was doing .<\/p>\n
Where is everybody ? I asked as I walked towards the breakfast nook and took a seat .<\/p>\n
I told them I wanted some space today and to take the day off , he told me , without even glancing in my direction .<\/p>\n
I watched him as he moved effortlessly around the kitchen Is everything okay ? I asked , raising my brows at him .<\/p>\n
He finished plating the food and then he slid it across the counter and in my direction .<\/p>\n
He was quiet as he walked over to the coffee pot and started to pour some into a mug for me .<\/p>\n
At first , I didnt think he was going to answer my question .<\/p>\n
But then he brought me the coffee , along with the sweeteners and cream , and he leaned against the counter , looking defeated .<\/p>\n
Can I ask you a question ? He asked .<\/p>\n
I nodded and started to sweeten my coffee and poor cream into the black elixir .<\/p>\n
Of course , I answered .<\/p>\n
I was honestly just glad that someone was at least talking to me .<\/p>\n
I would answer any question he had for me at this point .<\/p>\n
Youre 20 , right ? he asked .<\/p>\n
I glanced up at him and nodded .<\/p>\n
Yes , I answered .<\/p>\n
Why ? Usually , people find their mates at the age of 18 , he murmured .<\/p>\n
I held up my hand to stop him .<\/p>\n
Thats a myth , I told him .<\/p>\n
You can find your mate at any stage of life .<\/p>\n
It doesnt have ot be at 18.<\/p>\n
How old is too old ? I furrowed my brows .<\/p>\n
I dont believe there is such a thing as too old , I told him But 35 ? He asked .<\/p>\n
Chapter 0231 1 took a sip of my coffee , eyeing him carefully over the rim before I set the coffee mug down .<\/p>\n
I licked my lips and picked up my fork .<\/p>\n
Chester made the worlds fluffiest pancakes and the most delicious bacon I had ever seen .<\/p>\n
My mouth was watering at the sight of the food .<\/p>\n
Thats not very old , I told him .<\/p>\n
And as I said , you can find your mate at any age .<\/p>\n
He was quiet for a moment longer and I took that as an opportunity to start eating .<\/p>\n
I nearly moaned as the flavors burst in my mouth , and it made him chuckle and shake his head .<\/p>\n
It was good to see him smiling after yesterday , even if it was brief .<\/p>\n
I picked up my coffee to take another sip .<\/p>\n
Have you ever found yours ? He suddenly asked , making me choke and gag on the coffee .<\/p>\n
I spit some onto the counter without meaning to and it made him jump back .<\/p>\n
He quickly grabbed some napkins to wipe the spill .<\/p>\n
Are you okay ? Yeah , I said between coughs .<\/p>\n
Im fine .<\/p>\n
Just took me by surprise is all \u2026 He looked at me sheepishly as he threw the napkins away .<\/p>\n
Sorry , he murmured .<\/p>\n
I shook my head and waved off his apology .<\/p>\n
Dont be , its okay , I told him as I settled myself back down .<\/p>\n
I took a deep breath and met his eyes ; I didnt want to lie to him .<\/p>\n
Besides , it didnt matter anymore .<\/p>\n
The cat was out of the bag \u2026 Irene knew the truth and she was honestly the only one I didnt want to know about this .<\/p>\n
Chester lived in this mansion , which meant he saw almost everything .<\/p>\n
He knew about my relationship with Gavin , so didnt matter if he knew even more details .<\/p>\n
Yes \u2026 I finally answered .<\/p>\n
He glanced up at me with a frownL What ? I found my mate , I told him .<\/p>\n
When I was 18.<\/p>\n
I had known him for a long time prior and admittedly , Ive always had a little crush on him throughout our childhood .<\/p>\n
We are from the same pack \u2026 so we were always around each other .<\/p>\n
When I turned 18 we discovered that we were mates and then he marked me almost right away .<\/p>\n
I brushed the hair away from my neck to show him my mark and he gasped when he saw .<\/p>\n
Youve been marked ? He asked , his eyes wide with horror .<\/p>\n
I nodded and sighed .<\/p>\n
H Yes , I replied out loud .<\/p>\n
I stared down at my plate , a wave of sadness washing over me .<\/p>\n
We were supposed to get married .<\/p>\n
So , why didnt you ? He asked .<\/p>\n
What happened ? 1 bit my lower lip , remaining quiet for a moment , and then looked up at him .<\/p>\n
He left me for Gavns daughter .<\/p>\n
