Chester didnt bother answering her question ; I think he wie too stunned to even speak .<\/p>\n
He wasnt prepared for Nan to ask that , and he wasnt prepared to make that kind of decision .<\/p>\n
Despite her trying to keep the pain out of her eyes and voice , it was still there .<\/p>\n
It was clear to me , and it was probably clear to Chester as well .<\/p>\n
The car was quiet ; Nan refused to sit in the front seat , so I sat in the front seat while Chester drove .<\/p>\n
He kept stealing glances at Nan through the rearview mirror and she was trying everything she could to not meet his eyes , but I knew she could feel his gaze on her for most of the drive .<\/p>\n
Chester parked his car in his usual parking space on the side of the mansion and waited a moment before turning off the engine .<\/p>\n
Nan didnt waste any time .<\/p>\n
The second the car was in park , she was jumping out of the vehicle .<\/p>\n
I waited a moment to see what Chester would do , secretly hoping that he would go after her .<\/p>\n
But he just watched her as she hurried towards the front door .<\/p>\n
She hates me , he whispered , his eyes clouded .<\/p>\n
She doesnt hate you .<\/p>\n
Its not possible .<\/p>\n
Shes your mate , I assured him .<\/p>\n
Give her some time .<\/p>\n
How much time ? He asked , pulling his eyes away from the now closed door to the mansion and turning to face me .<\/p>\n
She wont even look at me , Judy .<\/p>\n
Ive never seen you so torn up about a woman before , I teased , trying to lighten the mood .<\/p>\n
It was no secret that Chester was a playboy .<\/p>\n
He liked having fun ; almost every weekend hes out with another woman and it drives Harper crazy .<\/p>\n
When he is home , hes either in the kitchen cooking or in Harpers room .<\/p>\n
I always thought that once Chester decided to get his head out of his ass , it would be Harper that he settles down with .<\/p>\n
Im sure Harper was feeling the same way , at least she had hoped that it would be her that he settled down with .<\/p>\n
None of us predicted that he would find his mate and I certainly didnt predict that it would end up being my best friend .<\/p>\n
What do you plan on doing ? I finally asked .<\/p>\n
Chester sighed and stared down at his hands .<\/p>\n
I dont know , he admitted after a short pause .<\/p>\n
Are you going to reject her ? A low growl escaped his lips before he could stop himself and for a second , his wolf flashed in his eyes .<\/p>\n
One thing was for sure , the thought of rejection upset his wolf .<\/p>\n
So , it was clear that his wolf wanted his mate , it was the man who Wasnt sure .<\/p>\n
I dont know \u2026 Chester repeated .<\/p>\n
I never thought I would ever have a mate .<\/p>\n
I never thought Id have to make such a decision .<\/p>\n
Well , you better make it fast before you lose her forever , told him as I pushed the car door open .<\/p>\n
You already broke her heart .<\/p>\n
Either rip the band aid all the way off or you better start patching her back together .<\/p>\n
I hate seeing Chapter 0252 her like this , Chester , and I hate that its you thats making her like this .<\/p>\n
Without another word , I left the car .<\/p>\n
I quickly hurried towards the mansion and inside .<\/p>\n
I looked around the vast space in search of Nan .<\/p>\n
She went upstairs , one of the maids answered my unspoken question .<\/p>\n
I smiled gratefully at her and hurried up the stairs and into my room .<\/p>\n
Sure enough , Nan was curled up on my bed , a pillow pressed to her chest and tears streaming down her cheeks .<\/p>\n
How long have you known ? Nan asked without even looking at me .<\/p>\n
I stepped further into the the door behind me .<\/p>\n
room a and closed Known what ? I asked , playing stupid .<\/p>\n
That Chester was my mate , Nan asked , rolling her tear filled eyes .<\/p>\n
You clearly know the truth .<\/p>\n
I sighed and nodded .<\/p>\n
After you left the other day , I told her , biting my lower lip .<\/p>\n
I figured it out because of how Chester was acting .<\/p>\n
She nodded and turned her face to look up at me ; her face was red and blotchy from crying .<\/p>\n
I always wanted to find my mate , I just didnt think he would end up being such a playboy , she murmured I sat down on the bed beside her .noveldrama<\/p>\n
Chester isnt so bad once you get to know him , I told her , Yeah , he has his moments .<\/p>\n
But hes a really nice guy .<\/p>\n
He went on a date with Becky from my favorite boutique , Nan muttered .<\/p>\n
Thats how I met him the first time .<\/p>\n
I swallowed , remembering that Nan mentioned meeting her mate .<\/p>\n
But she was intoxicated when she told me that and never actually went into details .<\/p>\n
I also remember Nan mentioning going into the city to get a dress for the frat party we went to .<\/p>\n
My stomach twisted .<\/p>\n
She met Chester that night and thats what drove her to drink so much during the party .<\/p>\n
He saw me , and I knew he recognized me as his mate just as I recognized him , she continued, more tears spilling down her cheeks .<\/p>\n
But he still left with her .<\/p>\n
He chose her over me \u2026 Im sure it wasnt like that , I said , trying to reason with Her .<\/p>\n
He was probably just in shock , and he also made a commitment to someone else that night .<\/p>\n
He most likely didnt want to just leave he<\/p>\n
